If Mr. Nicodemus wanted to come, I'd be happy to buddy up with him. We could do some REEF surveys on those places. Welcome home, MJ Mike - let's try and pull together a trip this Winter... It would be great to dive again, and I'd love to add to the REEF surveys I've done. We got to name a "new...

Oh, an exploration dive trip sounds like a blast! I bet we could find many new discoveries? Check the map out for high tidal flow zones that may contain gorgonians etc..... There has to be a shipwreck in there someplace! The Schiedyk went aground in Zuciarte Channel in 1968 and slid off the beach i...

I'm in for a virgin dive site trip. +1 for Matt's "Gotta hit Mozino Point" every now and then. And we better start saying "never dove" sites or "unnamed" sites or Scott's going to get so distracted he will be useless as a boat captain. That's why I'd have to hire a ski...

That sounds awesome I think a excellent trip would be to dive on virgin locations only Yes half will probably turn out to be crap, but think of the adventure to explore a virgin wall every dive! Now that is what I would call fun! That is one of my goals one of these times when I return to Nootka So...

so much for that tradition! has scott taken anyone to Nudi Kung Fu since we were last there? Haven't gone back down to Nudi Kung Fu cuz no one can seem to get past the Narrows. It's still waiting for your return visit. We need to come back with a team to explore new sites and see what else is out t...

Tom, Hope to see you and Cindy back one day soon!

I found the article and I'm gonna have to give it a try. Suppose I should find an analyser just to cover my @ss liability wise.

Now I just have to find a log to fall off of!

OK EANx 50% did help cut some time off one dive.

Saw some pictures where something different than air might have been helpfull at depth

Very nice photos Bruce. If those shots were with fumbly (is that a word?) fingers I really can't wait to see the ones you take once you get the gloves figured out.

Your snorkel will hit the mail tomorrow.

Mine has Name, Registration #, Hours, Date & Instructor Number. It's from the mid 70's

Tried to convince John to strap on his rebreather and sit in the middle of the river but all he did was laugh at me.

Hey, We're only 4 hours from Nanaimo, even if you drive like I do

I have viking rings and hate the thick gloves that came with them. While on a trip to Canada, I picked up a couple pairs of thin, stretchy gloves from a shop in Nanaimo for $4-5 each. Does anyone know where I can get these in Portland or preferably online? Thanks! If they are black and look like di...

John,

Does that mean you were diving them when they were new?

Thanks for the info

Can't wait to get my copy! Guess I could check it on line.

What is PFO?

I did not see an invitation for a warm water Florida redneck diver. I swim lots with alligators, but never with bears. I think I trust the gators more? Snorkel, whats that? Hey, Of course you're invited, in fact it's mandatory, ... someone has to look after Mr. Rawlings. And no worries about the be...

I didn't think anything scared you rebreather divers :hello2:

Maybe we can do Thanksgiving dinner at the same time

Excellent write up great pictures!

John Rawlings wrote:...I'm going to have to dig around to find a snorkel, though!

I think I could find one to knock the dust off of.

I'm glad that you like the pics! I also never tire of dreaming of Nootka Sound and will go back there as often as I can! I'm looking at returning there in September.... - John John, we're trying to find out when the fish run is hot & heavy in the Zeballos River so you can snorkel nose to nose w...

That was an awesome trip. Let's do it again soon. Maybe this Summer, when it'll be nicer out? summer is salmon season up there... Calvin is right, summer weather is better than when they were here but Matt is even righter:-) Once the fishing starts accommodations get very pricey if you can find any...
