That octo is welcome to use my camera ANYTIME! So cool that you were able to capture a video of it!

Great stuff everyone! Looking forward to another adventure soon

Last Sunday I got to join in on some fun at Deception Pass. I've had one mediocre boat dive there on the south side of Pass Island a couple years ago but only recently felt like I could possibly handle shore diving from the beach. Thanks to Yelloweye's awesome dive briefing (serious thanks!!!) my fr...

A bunch of the Sea Tac hotels have the same long term parking deals. I wouldn’t wait too long to book though. We tried two months out for our upcoming trip to Florida and they were pretty much all full. We flew to Bonaire through Vancouver BC last year because it was $600 cheaper a ticket. It was al...

Very cool! Awesome to hear about the nudi's. Not sure I get the nasty crab reference. A few months ago we found a huge old lithoid crab at Skyline that had so much stuff growing on it we couldn’t really ID it. I even took a picture of it and it didn’t even look like a crab. My buddy started calling...

Last Thursday I had to work out on Orcas Island, and since the tides were great I meet my friend Matt for an after-work swim at Skyline in Anacortes when I got off the ferry. Once we got down to depth the vis opened up into a nice although silty 15 ft or so. Although we failed on spotting any pskc's...

Awesome shots Jess. There are sooooooooooooooo many of those Aeolids on Whidbey right now!!!!!!!!! I thought there were a lot at Keystone until last night in Anacortes where there were literally thousands. I like the shrimp riding the jelly too. I've seen that before and always laugh through my reg.

We just saw a bunch of stimpson sun stars spawning at Skyline this evening. Pretty neat to watch!

Good running into you guys out there, and glad you all made good decisions beforehand....! Hopefully you had a nice redemption dive. Derekcs, those are some cool shots!

I still live too far away! One of these days I'll make it down. If anyone has the day off tomorrow we can have a far north ThThTh in Anacortes The tides are looking good for a pskc and candie hunt!

Cool shots! Good to run into you guys at Keystone Saturday. Your picture from the pilings doesn't look like anything we were able to see lol.

Simply stunning!!! Not much else to say. The ending...…

That was really REALLY nice! Thanks for sharing. I watched a bear once across the channel from observation wall try to swim between islands and get completely flushed out about 20 ft from his destination. Luckily it eddied out where it started but it sure looked like it was struggling for a bit!

Last Saturday I was buddy-less for joining the in-crowd under the bridge, but luckily I convinced my friend Austin to come out of self-imposed retirement to take advantage of the good Keystone tide. The gale warning wasn't exactly great news, but I hoped that the jetty would protect the area enough ...

Just double checking with folks who are more familiar with Keystone- is Sunday AM a good time to dive that site? It looks like minimal current between slacks of 9:30 to 12:30? You are correct. It’s going to be great current wise! Get in the water by 9 am for maximum enjoyment. I was out there this ...

Edmonds this afternoon right before high tide was a really nice 25 to 30 ft, even with the jellyfish bloom

Beautiful pictures! My buddy and I are going to try and make it up there Memorial Day weekend if any of the charters still have some room. I need some strawberry anemones in my life

Great report and pics! I had hoped to make it out also but my normal buddy bailed and it snowed at Baker so I made a poor choice.... Hopefully see some of you guys at the end of the month for the next window!

Thanks Jess. That would be lots of fun to all meet up there sometime. I want to do a weekend trip sometime combining that with some shore dives at Whytecliffe or Kelvin Grove, although day trips from Bellingham are easier than most of the shore dives we hit up :partydance: . Also, I didn't originall...

Thanks for sharing this on the board. I've seen your work on Scubaboard and IG and it is really great! Hopefully next year I will also be able to make it up there.

After a month of being dry (skis and life got in the way) and a bunch of no camera dives during the winter playing with new gear or new divers, I finally got things back to normal last weekend in Howe Sound with the Sea Dragon crew. We once again lucked out with only 6 divers on the boat and had ple...

Looks like the 13th/14th will be a party then!

There are so many amazing photos in this trip report I can't really pick out a favorite. Sounds like I have another place I need to convince my wife that we need to visit someday!

Sounds like an fun adventure even with the goofy currents. That warbonnet in the zoanthids is awesome! Low exchange days at Skyline are weird. Kelly at Anacortes Diving told me that you want to look for exchanges at or over 1 knot to get the flow to switch. We usually get in the water about 45 min b...

Sunday 2/22 at Cove 2. Probably 25 ft away from the classes that were going on. I heard a rumor also of 30+ vis in Mulkiteo at T Dock
