Re: Changing of the Mods - JT Passes the Baton to ScubaJess

JT, thanks for being an awesome dive buddy on the few Diveday Friday’s we were able to get together! Sadly I’ll be moving to Utah in July as well and don’t know how much time I’ll get to dive the PNW in the meantime. Jess, we haven’t met but corresponded a bit on the last round of NWDC shirts. Your ...

Re: Les Davis 1/28

Nice report, glad you got to dive! Lol maybe that attacking clam was a swimming scallop? Yep! Just googled swimming scallop and that’s exactly what it was. I’ve really got to work on identifying things more accurately [emoji57]. At this point I’m all like, “ooh pretty fish!”, but I’m working on it....

Les Davis 1/28

After some buddies had things come up, was able to salvage a dive day and dove with jondiver who came all the way from Oregon! This was both of our first time at Les Davis but we were able to navigate it easily. We met at 10 AM jaw jacked for a while, splashing at 10:55. Vis was a silty 6-8’. We fol...

Sunday January 28 Dive at Les Davis

Anybody interested in diving Les Davis on Sunday morning? I’m thinking 2 dives meeting between 8:30-9:00 and try to splash by 9:30 for first dive. Full Disclosure, I’m a new diver with only 10 dives under my belt if that make a difference. I hope some of you can make it. Sent from my iPhone using Ta...

Hello Eddie, I would be happy to take you diving. I am not sure plans that far in advanced for that weekend but could probably swing something low key like Les davis, redondo, or somewhere on the hood canal, I will have to get back to you when it comes closer. Also are you able to make any of the T...

Drove up the Pt Whitney on Hood Canal this morning to join a dive with Underwater Sports Olympia. Long drive for very little to see. I did get in some great practice and was able to dive with 6 lbs less lead than yesterday. My lead load is now down to 34 lbs, down from a high 46 2 weeks ago. Bouyan...

A big thanks for EddiA for suppling Mr Heater (stereo edition). It kept the chill off during the surface intervals. Thanks also to KneeDeep for supplying the canopy.

I can bring a canopy to help keep us dry, but I don't have sides for it, so it won't be super helpful in terms of keeping us warm. Well, even without sides, we can t...
