As a landmark some folks, Don Coleman , claim to see a "rock" elephant sitting with it's head turned looking out from the wall. Apparently you can also see a mossy patch on it's rump. :uh: I on the other hand, have looked at it several times with no such luck. That said, it's a nice dive, ...

That's affirm. Sketch above revised.

. So question - if it's placed in the deep section, can you clearly see the top of the Knuckle from where it's located or not? - Janna Disclaimer: I am not an artist, don't play one on TV and have no desires to become one. This is obviously not to scale but provides a general idea of the Flagpole b...

Oh yea how could I forget about our hero, Mr. Mike Coleman! I also just fixed the Youtube video so refresh and have another look.

It's late for me so I apologize for any spelling errors in advance. Today the buoy at (east) Flagpole (aka The Knuckle) went in. I have mixed feelings about this one. On one hand I'm elated that there will be a marker there (I've dove it both by shore and by boat several times and MISSED it) so the ...

True that.

Edited... forgot to post the proof. -Mark

Hi Dusty.

Go to the base of the logs down the line (75 to 80ft). If you don't see them, hold positon for a minute or so, they will come find you.

I dove Point Hudson on Sunday for the first time in awhile and came across a half dozen of these guys. They are shy but very curious which made them hard to photograph. PICT0046.JPG PICT0053.JPG Near the end of the dive I found this little guy. He was the size of my pinky fingernail. Sorry for the p...

I believe the plan is to Raft the boats and Grill some dogs.

Note to self: When diving Lake Washington, close Pee Valve.

Correct. Sorry 'bout that.

Now this sounds like fun. Can I play?

I have an 18ft Hewescraft with room for 2 divers launching from Cape George (Private Marina).

Ever been diving adjacent to a pile driver? Yes, but not operating, so I thought. While they were constructing the Northwest Maritime Center Pier in PT, there was a Tug and Barge with a Pile Driver on it. It was used to, you guessed it, drive the new piles into place. I noticed construction during ...

...How about what the rest of us saw out thier diving or spearfishing what do yo think? I remember the days when salmon limits at Neah Bay were 6 per angler with no size or specie limits, and rock fish had no limit. Fishing trips to Neah Bay specifically targeted Salmon. Catching Ground Fish was an...

December 28th, 2009 online version Peninsula Daily News interesting read: NEAH BAY -- A member of the state Fish and Wildlife Commission behind a controversial proposal to close a six-square-mile area off Cape Flattery to sport fishing to protect groundfish and rockfish now says he expects the issue...

Found this little guy on the Reef in Disco Bay yesterday. I don't know how it ended but I suspect the octo will be full for awhile.

Ed's Fault - Discovery Bay, Saturday 11-14-2009 This from a depth of 70ft looking up the face of the wall. Video does not do it justice. Surface conditions could be seen from 70+ft. Who'd a thunked it with all the rain. Keep your expectations low, I say, and you will be rewarded! [youtube]http://www...

Yeah, after diving Lake Merwin down here it can be pretty hard getting back to the salt water. After diving somewhere where there is something amazing around every turn like a golf ball or a Coors can Puget Sound can be pretty boring.... See, now that's the spirit! :shootself: Which is why I like d...

I have dove a few epic NW sites ( Duncan Rock, Fuca Reef, Waadah Fingers, “The Knot”, Race Rocks, Saanich Inlet Cloud Sponge, BC Wrecks, most Hood Canal sites not to mention warm water Caribbean sites ) and I still get a kick out of being below the surface as often as possible blowing bubbles lookin...

My guess: Northern Clingfish

Nice Shot.

I don't think you will ever see a pay station here. I think you are required to display a current WDFW Vehicle Use Permit to utilize this resource. If no decal is displayed and you are caught, you may be fined up to $60 per RCW 77.32.380. More info here: http://wdfw.wa.gov/lands/vup/ That being said...

Was there a muck layer at the top due to river run off?
I love the Cloud Sponge as the back drop for the Wolfie.

My condolences to you and your family. I believe we met this summer while diving on Don’s boat. You were diving with Steve M. (forever known to me as ScubaSteve). A few months later, while diving PT, he told me of your loss. Give me a shout when you are ready to head up here for some boat or shore d...
