Dove with Don Brewer on his boat to Pinnacle yesterday. Viz was amazing for the first 25 feet - you could see the top of the pinnacle from the surface. From 35 to 45 feet - viz was crud at about 5 to 10 feet (10 feet being too generous); from 50 feet - about ten feet and then viz opened up more at a...

Fellow divers - I still have one spot open for a diver for this coming Saturday (May 26th). Let me know if you would like to join me. Thanks, Keith

My phone number is 206-612-7030. Thanks, Keith.

Yes - I am interested! Feel free to give me a call or email me at keithboll@comcast.net. Thanks, Keith

Hi Don! I am interested in either Saturday or early Sunday. My wife and I are staying near Hoodsport for the weekend and I'd love to dive either Flagpole or the Pinnacle on Hood Canal. That being said - if you are interested in having me join you for Saturday (for any Hood Canal locaation) - let me ...

32 mix is what I was planning. Feel free to give me a call sometime - 2-6-612-7030. Thanks, Keith

Jeff,
I'll be happy to reserve you a spot. Please confirm with me that you can get your tanks ready - and then let's plan for a great dive!

Nitrox for maxing bottom time!

I am planning a boat dive to Shangrila (Blakely Rock Reef) and China Wall on Saturday, May 26th. This weekend (May 26-27) offers the lowest current exchanges of the month. Between 6AM and 3PM, the current goes from slack to -.4 knots to slack to -.5 knots. I have a 27 foot Glastron boat that has eno...

Wow! These are really great shots! What kind of camera setup were you using? And - how deep was the pic taken with the rock fish and sponges?

I've only dove Flagpole once - did you "swim for it?" or have a boat??

Thanks, Keith

On Sunday, Gordon Friang joined me to explore Boeing Creek Reef for the first time. We splash just an hour after low tide - so we weren't expecting the greatest viz (on a large exchange). However - we were rewarded with a great dive and the viz was actually around 20 feet, once we go below 20 feet. ...

I dove this dive area once before, but without a guide. We never did find the main wall. Any tips on how to find the wall? The dive map that is posted on several sites did not seem to match with where we looked for the wall. on the other hand - viz wasn't all that great when we went - so maybe we ju...

Went with Duncan and Andre to KVI towers for the first dive. Wind was so calm - and the water and sunshine was spectacular! Viz was 10 feet at best until we went below 40 feet - then viz opened up to 25 feet. Lots of rockfish, especially between 70 and 115 feet. Andre spotted a GPO out in the open i...

Guys - thanks for the response! Two divers are joining me for the dive - Andre "crazy russian" and Duncan. Glad that our forum is active and that we can dive without a lot of notice.

H20 Doctor: I've never dove Boeing Creek before - tried to find it by boat and depthfinder - but did not spot it. Any tips on location? I didn't see any buoys in the area - I'm assuming you anchor for this one?

Anthony - I'll still keep you in mind for another time!

Anyone interested in a last minute plan to go boat diving? The wind forecast is very light for tomorrow - meaning there will be smooth waters and sunshine! If you are interested - give me a call at 206-612-7030. I have a Glastron 27 foot cabin cruiser with a heated cabin. Looking for 1 or 2 people t...

anthony - are u interested in going on a boat dive tomorrow? Meetup would be at the everett port. The wind will be light - and the sun will be shining.
Thanks, Keith

I thought the pelagics were mainly in the area in late Summer/early Fall. Is this usually a good time of year to make this trip?

Thanks, Keith

I usually don't go diving on Thursdays - I'm normally off work on Saturday/Sunday. I'll try to give more notice next time. This time of year - I keep plans flexible due to weather conditions changing. However - this weekend is simply spectacular! Thanks for the responses, guys - let's get together o...

Anthony - I'll keep you in mind!

Just to make it obvious:
Dive Date: Saturday, February 4th
Dive Time: 8:00 AM
Dive Departure: Port of Everett Marina
Dive Destination: China Wall (Great structure and lots of life near Blakely Harbor).
Phone #: 206-612-7030

The sun is shining - and the currents are very mild tommorow! It's time to use the boat for a boat dive. I can take up to two divers with me - so if you want to join me - please call me at 206-612-7030. The winds are light, which means smooth waters and great visibility. My boat is a 2007 Glastron 2...

See you at the dive site. The dive shop guys are very helpful - and can give you good directions to the dive site.

I'll be at Sund Rock at 9AM. Look for a Blue Highlander. Hood SportnDive opens at 8:00AM for you to get your ticket for the day. They are located right in Hoodsport (about 3 miles from the dive site).
