got any old usable gear to get rid of?

I am trying to find some decent usable gear to donate to my friend's daughter...... Please believe me that this isn't a scam or a ploy to get free stuff. Here's a little bit of the back story. My buddy is from mexico and he has a wife and a son and a daughter who still live in Mexico . The daughter ...

Re: Sund Rock on Mar 14th...

I dove it last week. The wreck is ok, but of course its a bit of a swim. The wreck is deteriorating and the port side is almost gone. I did find a wolf eel toward the stern and a big Ling on eggs right next to the eel. There's still lots of Rock Fish of course. We then did the North Wall and saw the...

Open Invite for Monday

Chris (Linedog) and I are going to do a couple of dives on Monday morning, sometime shortly after 8 am. I am not sure exactly where yet. It is Chris' turn to pick the spot and he hasn't decided yet, but it will be somewhere in the south sound. Likely wont be anything too crazy. if anyone wants to ju...

go pro rig

I built this rig out of a cutting board, some PVC fittings and Loc+Line arms. I used 2 of the HOG Morph 1000 video lights. Haven't shot with it yet but I hope to next week.. I think I have about $30 in the rig itself. Hopefully Ill have it perfected by the time I go to Cozumel!

Re: Harper Pier/Barbara G

Ya , the poor old girl is in rough shape. Kind of a pile of assorted boat parts with a couple of discarded anchor lines strung over the top of it. Sad. It would be cool to have a bunch of those concrete reef balls down there though.

Re: Harper Pier / Barbara G

Yep, it's all done. We put the line in on the last piling on the left (end of the pier). It's a pretty short swim to the wreck from the pier. Also, the wreck got pretty hammered from the construction and the support vesels / anchor lines.

Fox island West Wall

Friday, Linedog and I went to see the west wall. It had been a few years since either of us had been there. Had a good dive, saw 1 one octo with an impressive jab. He took a swipe and Chris's camera. I counted 2 sea stars. Here's the video

Sunday South Sound or Hood Canal ??

All my usual dive pals are busy or injured this weekend and I have 2 full tanks in my garage. I hate to leave them sitting there neglected... So does anyone want to hit the south sound or maybe the canal on Sunday? Early morning is better.
