Mid Week Redondo

K and I a great dive at Redondo today when the sun decided to show up. Oh … that was most of the morning. Vis was spectacular at 40 – 50 feet. Dropped in and headed to see the Wolf Eel by the carousel boat. It was so cute and tiny. I was getting ready to get some pictures when K flashes me and bolts...

Not far .... though probably about 6 - 10 fet deeper since we were diving a lower tide .... if it had not wedged in those rockes the current might have blown it away ... as of taday I am making the housing even...

Re: Lost Camera Found .....

CONGRATS on finding your rig!!! And you got some nice shots to boot! I just joined NWDC a few days ago, and one of the first posts I read was the one about your lost camera (and sucky insurance response). I was mightily impressed that Steve immediately stood up and offered his time, boat and assist...

Re: Lost Camera Found .....

Dude, well done!!! With that kind of luck you need to pick up a couple of Lottery tickets... :notworthy: I believe all my luck goes to finding things i loose ... dog's ( when they get off their lead and are terrorizing the neighborhood cats), key, and cameras ..... no luck left for lotto .... :(:(:(

Lost Camera Found .....

Well …. The dive God’s were kind to me today. Recap: 08.01.10 … Dive trip with Deep Sea Charters. Dive Locations were Peapod Rocks and James Island. Peapod was great. Shallow but abundant life. Nudies, creeping pedals, Candy strip shrimp, and more. Vis was about 15’ and max depth was 50 feet. We not...

Hornby Island On Labor Day Weekend

What a labor day weekend. Hornby Island is a beautiful location and Rob and Amanda have a top notch organization. For a slight recap, honey and me started out on friday morning with the Depth Chargers group. Had a great trip thanks to BC ferries. Arrived at Hornby Island diving at around 4pm that af...
