I completely agree. I recently dove this site and absolutely loved it! I can't wait for this site to mature with all kinds of life!

Tray and strobe question.

I am diving a Canon a720 in an Ikelite housing. I really want to move into a strobe setup. What is the best tray for the Ikelite housing? My housing has the dual attach points. I have heard that the Ikelite dual handle tray is very robust but heavy. Any recommendations? As far as the strobe goes, I ...

Re: Advice needed: BackPlates/Wing/Harness..

You may want to give OxyCheq a look. http://www.oxycheq.com/Oxycheq/Wings-Single.html My wife and I dive the Mach V signature series wing and we really like them. Low profile and no STA is required. It has built in roll control for the tank that is very effective. Just more choices. The single piece...

Re: Best DIve @ Sunrise Ever!

It was great to dive Sunrise again! My lower back hurt like heck this morning, but it was definitely worth it! The timing of slack could not have been better. The Wolf Eel's stole the show, lot's of fun to watch. We found a small GPO that was out in the open hoping that we didn't see him. Great to s...

Are these Eggs?

While diving today at Fox Island West Wall, we came across this. At first I paid no attention to it, until IT MOVED!! It would be still and then every 15 seconds or so it would jerk or pulse. It was almost jello like in appearance. Any ideas?

This dive is a "must do" for those who have not yet dove it. The hill can be a bit of a challenge after the dive, but it is doable. I just keep telling my self to not look up and just keep walking! My best dive ever, including warm water, was at this site last December. See you at the lot ...

Hey Keith, Julie and would like to join you, but we may be a little late getting there. We may do a short first dive and then join you on the second. My body is getting used to nitrogen again so I would really like to join you!
