Real-Time Buoy Video
For boat dive planning we have GPS, Weather Forecasts, Tide/Current Predictors, etc. How about some Real-time Video? Below is a link to one of the buoy's installed by Mobilisa - a Port Townsend based company. It's the one on the North end of Marrowstone Island. http://buoy.icmobil.com/buoymain/publi...

Re: Beautiful day diving with Pacadventures
I was only able to get one semi-good underwater picture due to camera fog.
Note to self: Don’t leave camera in dry suit pocket during surface interval on hot days!

Re: Discovery Bay
Once you find the shallow spot on the Fault, it's better to motor shoreward before you anchor. Anchorage is better and there are less critters to disturb or smush when dropping the hook. #-o Look for 35 to 45ft of water. FWIW, here is another site to look at. If it works for you, move your mouse aro...

Re: Anchored on (near) the Governor?
I recently learned that Snohomish Co. PUD has a FERC permit to investigate tidal power generation in Admiralty Inlet and would be doing stuff out there in the near future. Since Mark Allen told me that, I'm guessing it might be related. You are probably correct. I have heard of this as well. Howeve...

Anchored on (near) the Governor?
Before I left work today, my boss called to tell me there is a ship anchored on or near the SS Governor. So, I took the scenic route home to have a look see. Sure enough, it's appears to be pretty darn close. When I got home I went to the Live-Ships website to see who it was. Here is what I found: 1...

Re: Comfort Swivel
A year or so ago, a dive buddy of mine installed a swivel to eliminate some of the discomfort problems discussed above. I don't know if it was a cheap or expensive one. While approaching the end of the dive and ascending to his safety stop, the o-ring in the swivel blew out. :angry: He switched to h...

Re: thoughts on dive schools
Hi Kat, I think you are on the right track. I agree wholeheartedly to the comment about “lots of diving between certifications”. For now, most of your diving should be working and concentrating on mastering buoyancy control. I went 10 years between Open Water and Advanced Open Water. However, in my ...
