In my opinion
By charging an entry fee they need to enforce their rules on the photo contest

Re: Northwest Dive and Travel Show Photo Contest Ringer
This new adventure show seems to have a lot more scuba equipment people supporting it.
http://www.gearupexpo.com/
Might be interesting to see if they get a lot of interest from divers in the area and expand this market segment in future shows.

Re: LDS won't sell o-rings
An LDS forcing a customer to go purchase a very common part online or elsewhere.... interesting.
It is amazing what some dive shops do to drive away customers.
Its also amazing the number of really cool dive shops we have in the area.... Guess you always have the good and the bad.

Is the operator of theperfectdive.com around on these forums?
There is a tad bit of spam on the website and I hope you can clean it off sometime.
I really enjoy the site and hope it continues to be in operation and expands.

Interesting and something to remember.
Does anyone have a story of taking a spill down the hill at Jorstad Creek or Octopus hole?

+1 on everything you said about Saltwater and more reefs like this.
Heck I would even open my wallet or try to organize some fund raisers at our local dive club to have them do more reefs like this.

I have stayed at Mikes a number of times, for classes and just for fun diving. Never had a problem. The waterfront cabins are certainly the best accommodations. You can't beat the ease of night diving there and I have run into a very wide range of critters. Pretty much everything except wolf-eels He...

Maury Island Barges and Saltwater State Park -- Via Bandito Charters
Easy 30+ foot viz - Large whale snot - lots of fish.
We could see the whole trawler from the first piling at Maury and had an excellent view of the barge remains.

Re: No Go San Diego
I dove in June with Lois Ann Charters -- http://www.loisann.com/
Some friends who lived in San Diego in the past said this is the best boat and the one they always used.
I wrote about it on my blog if anyone cares.

Valerie Lyttle ( I think ) once told be to scrape off the stingers with a credit card or cert card. That seemed to work pretty good... Another tip is to just not stick your face into the jelly :rofl: That's how I do it now -- The first year I was diving I didn't quite seem to be able to keep my face...

If your down in the Portland area www.oregonscuba.com is a great club to find some local dive buddies and see whats going on diving wise locally. Also helpful for carpooling to Puget Sound and Hood Canal to cut costs.

Re: Looking for a great inexpensive light?
I ordered one of these (because of this thread) and its a nice backup light.
I didn't even get the lanyard with it :( but wasn't planning to use it anyhow. Mounted on a split ring to a retractor.
Its a fine light and will work perfect as a backup light or a loaner to someone.

Re: Octopus Hole For sale
Ah there is more to the property then dive site access and a hill.
I didn't know it included a house and some land people could live on.
Lets hope whoever buys it up doesn't try to stop shore access.
There isn't enough shore dive sites to begin with so losing this one would be terrible.
