RIP Bobby Borenson

Truly a great guy and we were blessed to have him on many Bubbles and Suds dives. His passion for diving and photography was truly admirable. Bobby reported his sickness only 5 short months ago and since then his family has spent quality time with him and he passed peacefully in his home. I am sure ...

Re: Edmonds Underwater Park 20 MAY 23

Yeah one thing about PNW diving is learning our tides. We have some large water exchanges at times (12 feet) and this causes currents, especially in shallower dive spots. So it can make even mellow dive sites like Edmonds pretty busy in terms of current. A later dive that day (8pmish) would be a lit...

Re: New to WA - Looking for Dive Buddies

If you are on the book of faces, make sure to search Bubbles and Suds. We tend to dive pretty regularly. I try to post in here too, but sometimes forget. We tend to dive Mukilteo, Edmonds, and other areas

Re: Diver rescued at Mukilteo

How much air did they have in their tank?
Did they have a long hose?
What color was their snorkel?
Blade or split fins?
What gradient factor?
Did they have redundant air?

How the hell are we expected to learn from these?????

Re: Concerning the removal of derelict aquatic structures and restoration of aquatic lands

More underwater habitat/park sounds nice, but is someone altering a popular dive site without warning? Is that how it works at Mukilteo? Yes, currently that is how it "works" in Mukilteo. I agree with Jake where as long as garbage is not being added and called an attraction, and people ar...

Re: Concerning the removal of derelict aquatic structures and restoration of aquatic lands

Someone has been investing their retirement on adding attractions, some of which I think are pretty great. One is a rock path from the dolphins at the entry point all the way to the dome. Recently a deep buoy has been re-added (my last two have disappeared), we dived it last Wed and it's pretty grea...

Re: Getting reeducated

We at Bubbles and Suds would gladly take you out. We dive on Wednesdays (decent tides) and they are usually night dives as we enter water at 6:30ish. Then a meal after the dive and suds (should you partake) and can go through challenges, questions, what nots

Re: Back to diving after a long hiatus

Hey Martin, we dive weekly in the Everett area on Wednesday nights. We also intend to start having some weekend A.M. dives soon so I will post here when we do. We are the Bubbbles and Suds group, you can google us, we are on the book of faces and I have been trying to post dives in here as well.

Re: Newley certified diver looking for buddies around Edmonds.

If you are on Facebook look up Bubbles and Suds. We try and dive weekly in the northend, generally Mukilteo Tdock or lighthouse park. We do head down to Edmonds from time to time.
We also like to dive and drink beer, hence the name. I will try and start posting in here more often too.

Re: Diver missing at Mukilteo Lighthouse park

For those that remember Uncle Pug on SB, he wrote something that has stuck with my through my years of diving here. I don't recall the exact quote, but basically, "Get to the surface and float. With the currents and boat traffic in Puget Sound, sooner or later you are going to hit shore or get...
