Nice shots! Haven't seen one in a long time

I find myself with several days off next week and without a dive buddy. If anyone wants to dive Sunday- Wednesday out of Triton Cove to any of the 5 dive spots with a short boat ride. I like to leave ramp around 8:00 so we don't have to worry about wind, which usually comes up in the afternoon. I've...

Wow! Just Wow! I'm boarding the plane now... in my mind

Thanks for sharing!

No pics it did not happen

Great pictures... looks like a great time. how was the vis? can't tell with the wide angle on. Can't wait to get back one day myself

I dive flagpole a lot and remember when the house sold to these people. I was told the story by someone that knew them what was going to happen about the dive school and all the money staying in Oregon. Most of the weekends have between 6-20 divers there. It worries me about the septic system too as...

0 waves,0 wind, and oh yeah 0 vis! It was a beautiful day on the canal today. Went to flagpole, thought it was going to be fantastic as the surface was clear, the water was like glass, not a breeze blowing, sun was out and it was warm!... THEN we went down the anchor line and once we got past 35' I ...

Went back to flagpole today but this time I had my wide angle. I was hoping to find something good, like octopus out and about like they were last week. I wasn't disappointed! By the end of the first dive I had found a rather large and healthy octopus apparently guarding the den of another octopus t...

The only line that I know of is the one right in front of the Scuba class house and it only goes out to about 50' of water, not all the way to the buoy.

Seems like they all hide when I have my wide angle on and come out with the macro

Great to find the buoy back today

my wide angle on not the macro
We did find a new war bonnet

I remember the day we were at Monastery beach there were a couple of guys diving down there from Seattle that didn't know what California waves were all about and got slammed into the beach, losing their hight end dive camera set up Nikonos v as I remember, (not giving up any hint of my age or how l...

We learned to dive in Monterey, Ca. and part of the class was at monastery beach and we had to learn in order to pass the class how to do the monastery crawl in rough waves.... where there are always heavy waves. Deflate, hug the bottom as tight as you can and crawl as fast as you can, no stopping. ...

Things are starting to become more lively at flagpole. There were squid and stubbies eggs everywhere. Amazing amounts of fish and more wolf eels there than I have seen in 10 years. Seems like every hole I look in has an eel looking back. A few octopus sitting on their eggs. Still no major nudi sitti...

There are signs up saying no diving under bridge

No, the buoy is not back there is a milk bottle on a rope on the side of the knuckle

some time I have room I'll keep you in mind

Still not much happening at Flagpole and elephant wall. A few new bright red octopus have moved in to old dens. They seem to be real healthy. A couple pairs of wolf eels with huge balls of eggs, but they are so far back in the cave it is hard to get a picture of them. Vis past 10' was probably 30'. ...

I was afraid that was the case. Seems like this has been happening all too often.

Came by there were police & ambulance lot of cars and people

looks nice under the water. great you made it to the warbonnets seems there always in the sponges

Met up with Keith today in 30* weather to dive flagpole and elephant wall. There wasn't much to see today, one new octopus that moved into the den of the octopus that we had been watching while she was sitting on eggs. The egg casings were scattered around outside of the den. Hopefully the babies ma...

nice find,jess
