Who's up for diving this Thursday? 6-630 meet. There's been lots of octo sightings, comb jellies, opulescent nudis, grunts, even rare-for-redondo pink mouth hydroids that have been seen!

Glad you're making great progress Doug! Good to have you back online and can't wait to see you back in the water!

Alex! June 16th is the day you're definitely going to want to make it!!!

Hi! Who's up for diving this Thursday? 6-6:30 meet at Redondo! Last week viz was bad but there were plenty of octos, stubbies, and larval creatures about. There's also been a recent hatching of opalescent nudibranchs to see!

Hi
Welcome!

I don't know the active instructors too well these days. So all I can say is take a class with a dry suit option and the more dives in the class (not a rush off to tropical dive) the better.

Have fun!

Hi Will!
Cool finds! Are you back?

#2 is a sea spider, likely giant sea spider Nymphon pixellae
#5 is a scallop
#6 female scalyhead (I think)

Hi! Who wants to come diving Thursday and maybe see the cute little grunt sculpin I've seen just outside the bottlefield for the last several weeks? 6-6:30 meet at Redondo!

Very cool! My favorite way to find drysuit leaks is to shine a light from the inside of my suit and see if I see light shining through It often works!

Hi. Who's up for diving this Thursday? 6-6:30 meet at the 'Dond!

Last week we saw baby bay pipefish, octos, bi colored nudis, a couple of anculas, a grunt sculpin, horned shrimp, a baby lumpy, stubby squids, an alligator poacher, gunnels, etc.

Very cool Bob!

We went to driftwood park on Saturday too. Fun dive!

Lucky you if you can get access to a boat and knowledgeable Captain out there! Shore diving is either tough or not great there. I hear some people do the jetty.

Hi. Rain the forecast, so no picnic bbq

But the dive is still on!

Hi. It seems that the forecast has gotten worse. This may have to wait for a future week. Will let you know if the picnic is back on.

Hi! Who's up for diving this Thursday Cinco de Mayo? How about a BBQ or picnic after our dive? What do you all say? We can do our famous T-Bone Steak (or veggie) Wall Street Tacos or some other margaritas or fare.

Very cool Chris!!!

Hi! Who's up for diving this Thursday? 6-6:30 meet at the 'Dond! Check out these super-tiny Ancula Nudibranchs (I believe) which were spotted in large numbers last week! They may not last long as some were already laying eggs. img_1_1651064628115.jpg In the last week, we've also seen lumpies on eggs...

Hi!
Very cool. It looks like a female scalyhead to me. The males have two pronounced cirri on top of their heads. Greg Jenson's free sculpin ebook likely has more info

Oh crab! Are you at God's Pocket?

Hi A group of us went up to dive Campbell River April 8-10, with Abyssal Dive Charters. We had 40+ feet of viz and the best tides of the year to enjoy it. The diving's just so much fun up there, check it out! (tell them Eric and Scuba Jess sent you!) On the way home, we checked out Dodd's Narrows ne...

Hi! Who's up for diving this Thursday? 6-6:30pm meet at the 'Dond. I will not be carrying a camera this time, so I'd be happy to give someone a tour of the wonders of Redondo southside! Check out these cool blackwater critters I found on a recent Thursday night dive .. I didn't know we had green jel...

Cool! What was that painted greenling doing?

A group of friends and I had a great time diving up in Campbell River BC with Abyssal Diving Charters last weekend. The skies were cold and windy, but the water was amazing down below! Hope you enjoy the photos!

Hi! Who's up for diving this Thursday? Redondo 6-6:30 meet.

Hi we've got a friend from out of town who's really looking for octo on eggs. Anybody have any recent sightings?
