Big buddies, little buddies, I'm just here buddies, I'm not even diving but I wanted to say hi buddies, cooks, people who brought food, people who ate food, people who helped set up, and people who helped break every thing down and pack ...

Congrats on the new tank!

A reminder - if you are diving off of Richard's boat please bring a few bucks in cash for the boat ramp fee.

Re: Club Dive! Club Dive! Club Dive!

Good point! If you are a little buddy, please come as close to 9 as possible. This is pretty informal, but I would like some time for everyone to talk about their skills, ability and whatnot with either myself or Doug so that we can get you sorted with the appropriate big buddy. This is especially t...

Re: Club Dive! Club Dive! Club Dive!

Afterthoughts: We'll be in a dark green Ford Windstar with Idaho plates. The plates make us pretty easy to spot. What's the "little buddy" "big buddy" thing? Pardon the newbie ignorance... It's sort of a sexual "master-slave" kind of paradigm, I think. Awesome! This su...

Re: Whidbey Island Critters

And that is what I thought when I took the photos. But when I saw on the computer screen all the cirri above eyes and snout, according to my book, I think it is Cabezon. I would rather have Red Irish Lord, since they are not common at all on my usual Whidbey sites and I have only few pictures of th...

Coming up with fresh ways to justify spending vast amounts of time and money on diving to my wife. Not having to do this is one of the advantages to being single. :) I am also trying to perfect my back kick, it only happens (reasonably) well about 80% of the time, the rest of the time I just look s...

Re: Some nice tritonias

I've seen several pink tritonias at cove 2 as well, including a monster sized one at the I-beams. It was enormous! I've been seeing a lot of diamonbacks along the boundary line too....I guess that's what happened to the field of baby sea pens that sprouted up there last year.

I was there for a fun dive and support in whatever capacity, so I will let one of the search divers tell the whole story. The short story is that they found the rod right where it was lost....the reel was gone. I guess someone heard the story and went looking for that expensive reel that still belon...
