Re: Hood Canal Bridge

Re: Looking for dive buddies March 25, 26, Hood Canal

You're in luck! There's a 'fun dive' planned (on behalf of Underwater Sports Olympia) at Sund rock on Saturday 3/25. Meet them at hoodsportndive at 8am, and maybe good to respond on FB or call to check in. Lots of divers looking for a buddy! https://www.facebook.com/events/175372599613662??ti=ia Sen...

Re: Sund Rock - 11/12/16

Yay for red brots! I've seen 3 at fish pen wall on a single dive before.
Never seen the cloud sponge there, where is it at Sund?
