Doug - I am also having foot surgery on the 18th. We should have arranged for surgeries in the same hospital! As for me, I am borrowing my son's crutches. Sigh...

P.S. I have access to a boat we can drive

Re: San Juan with Naknek
Great shots! I have only dove Turn Island, not the other site. FYI it is also feasible to pack your gear in a rolling duffle, rent tanks and weights from Kurt, then you can just walk on the ferry...I think a walk on is $11.00? Naknek is very near the ferry landing in Friday Harbor. The other advanta...

Re: Current conditions in Tacoma/Seattle area
Hi there! I dove last Saturday - Dalco and Sunrise - and the viz was decent (easily 15-20 feet). However, there has been lots of rain and wind since then. My best guess is that the "surface" layer of any site is fairly mucky with the water turbulence...probably ok once past 10-15 feet (exc...

shark week/six gills - tonight 9 pm
Hi - So, unless there was extreme editing since last week on the Discovery channel website preview, the "Sharks After Dark" show tonight, at 9 pm, on Discovery channel's shark week will have a segment on six gills.

Re: Carpal Tunnel and Latex Seals
The scar from my carpal tunnel is also quite small - the latex seal (I wear it above that bone that protrudes in my wrist) never actually touched the scar. I was back in the water in 6 weeks. No problems so far!

It was great viz with tons of critters, so who was I to let a biggish hole in my wrist seal interfere? After 35 minutes I did write Valerie an apology note on my slate that said "So sorry, but I need to get out". All in all it was worth the totally soaked undergarments and suit...incredibl...

Re: Whidbey Island Critters
Jan - the blue heron shots are, as usual, amazing. They not only live on Whidbey Island, but I spied one hunting at low tide about 20 yards from my boat in Tacoma. If I only had a camera.... (and thanks again for the ride from the ferry on Sunday!).

Re: Davidson Rock & James Island May 23rd
Great shots of the nudis! It was hard to stay on the boat and watch all you dive...we dropped you on the east side of the rock. I have never dove that site, so I have no clue where folks went. And the orcas at Davidson were awesome!!! :smt038
