How many of us, have learned a lifetime of lessons by the experience of a "bad" dive? I think it was dive #20 or so.....on a boat dive in hood canal during an algae bloom so the vis from 0-30fsw was almost nil. I was with a group of 2 other divers.....the dive went fine but I was an air h...

MZ, Nice editing! It was great to meet you and dive with you, and we're all hoping we can do it again real soon. "Eagle Eye" is chenari on this board, by the way. I think my favorite part of your video, apart from the hockey mask part, which as you know had me burning through my air too f...

Left Olympia around 12:30pm and traffic was great, got to the park around 1:45. Weather topside was looking good, but as soon as I show up, here co...

Otherwise if I am guaranteed a buddy at 3, then 3pm it is... shewt Looks like I'll be at cove 2 around 2pm with dwashbur. Come on out! ...

So I'm going to dive EUP Saturday as I have not been there for a while. I was looking at the tides and someone please correct me if I am wrong. It looks like there is a slight slack from about 10am to 2pm and this is when I was planning on going. Is anyone down to get wet? Im diving some borrowed g...

3tree n. or Cove 2 on Sat. afternoon, say 2:30pm or later....

Thanks for the sway Pez, it's great!
I'll never get lost now that I have the compass that came with it.

Had a great time today. Glad to finally dive with some other members. Sorry about any problems with my chili. I have had some outgas problems all evening. Here are some of my pictures for the day.
