Re: Viz Reports Thread
Yes, I was very surprised yesterday. On the way up, there was a clear thermocline at 35' and another at 7'. I'll download the profile and check what those were exactly. And we are just in June! Hood canal will be in big trouble this summer if we don't get some storms and clouds soon... (unlikely)

Re: Curacao Nov 2013
LOTS of no-see-hums and black flies, we were getting eaten alive up to 9am and from 4pm to 8pm or so. Mosquitoes - we got lucky. Only saw a few in the first few days. Dengue is no joke, not super common but really worth being a little paranoid... We pre-treated all of our clothing with Permethrin. G...

Curacao Nov 2013
Went to Curacao this year for 10 days. Last year on Bonaire the diving was great - decided to try the neighbor island for a change. The diving in Bonaire is better. The road along the island makes it more convenient. There was also less algae on Bonaire - not sure if it is because of the early rainy...

Dives in Cozumel, Belize, Roatan, Grand Cayman
After spending a week in Bonaire with old college friends, it was time to spend more time with the family. So we went on a 1-week cruise in the Caribbean. I obviously picked a itinerary that included top diving destinations :) Me and my wife were able to do 8 dives in 4 days, while the kids were at ...

Bonaire Dec 2012
Just came back today from my first trip to Bonaire. I went with two old friends from college I never got a chance to dive with in the past (living 3000 miles away doesn't help). We spent the week in a condo in the Bel-Air complex - highly recommended. The house reef is great, the condo was well main...

Re: Portable Hot Water Shower System - Any great DIY Ideas?
I've put a little marine pump on a 10 Gal water cooler. 10 Gal is enough for a quick rinse between two dives for 2 divers, then a full rinse of the dive gear at the end. Pump, I paid about $25 with a coupon: http://www.harborfreight.com/12-volt-marine-utility-pump-9576.html Cooler, I paid about $30 ...

Re: Kona diving.
That's why I like shore diving in Kona... early in the morning, at my pace. Better viz and smaller waves. Done your Manta dive yet? If you haven't already... I just saw the other thread - I like Jack, dove with them a few times, but Big Island Divers is a little better for experienced diver, and the...

Yes gotta keep your distance from the lava tubes if there is any swell... a dive operator guided the group that close/in the tube while there was big swell?

Re: Thursday, 4-5-12. South Sound Dive
Well allergies were fine. I take Allegra - with a D if things get too bad.
But I got stuck at work too long today... I'll be back in the water very soon...

Re: Thursday South Sound Dives!
No TTN for me today after all... Note to all: if you like diving, remember that the Whooping Cough (Pertussis) vaccine only lasts 10 years or so and you need a booster. I though I was ok to dive but it'll take a little longer...

TTN tonight was quite good - 25-30', although it was getting ~20 toward the end of the dive.

Re: Octo-porn or Octo-Wrestling? Video.
Great Video Benoit! =D> Thanks! :supz: was there still Dog Fish @ TTN? Is the fishing/salmon season finnished @ TTN? Lots of fishing going on still, although the catches didn't seem very good compared to 2 weeks ago. There were still there when we got out (thanks dive flag!). No Dogfish this time.

Octo-porn or Octo-Wrestling? Video.
Had a fun dive with Simon last night at TTN. Vis at the surface was horrible! Could barely spot my fin. But down at 75ft we could see about 25ft, which is good enough. A night dive under a sunny sky - which was great for Simon to try his new Dusty's light. Anyway, had a "good time" watchin...

Re: Viz Reports Thread
TTN Tuesday 7pm was 3-5ft down to 40fsw, then opened up gradually to 20+ft at 75fsw with lots of floaties. Still, a good dive.

Re: TTN: Bring your Dive Flag and watch out for sharks
We saw many of them on the second dive. Some were downright aggressive (ok, probably just overly curious). It was odd at first to see Ron punch one on the nose (no dogfish was harmed in the making of this dive), but after they started ramming me I understood... Entrails left by fisherman attracted t...
