Re: Flag Pole and Elephant Ear

Not sure, highest ones, maybe 85'. Didn't take any pictures of chunks... maybe next time I'm there. The guy I was diving with went to 185 and said they looked fine down that deep, just silt.

Re: Flag Pole and Elephant Ear

I'm sure some of it is from silt, but there are some with big chunks knocked off, mostly in the shallow waters. Maybe eels during mating? the deeper areas that look like it's dying could be from silt.

Re: Flag Pole and Elephant Ear

I have been diving there for years and this is about the worse I have seen it. Lots of it is dying and broken off.

Flag Pole and Elephant Ear

Went to Flag Pole and Elephant Ear today and as usual, wolf eels everywhere. A few Octopus, but not as many as usual. Lot of life starting to bloom and the colors are coming back. Baby jellies everywhere including lions mane, about the size of a dime and foot long tentacles. Vis wasn't too bad, 25-3...

Re: Another good dive

I believe it was a six gill about 4 1/2' long. Dog fish usually aren't flighty in the water.

He didn't seem to like my light but I did manage to get one so so picture of him, he was just too far a...

Re: Hello from Kelso

Welcome to the group, if you ever want to do a week day dive along the hood canal, let me know I'm usually available for AM dives. I have a 13' inflatable that I take out of Quilcene or Triton... great for 2 divers and 2 tanks each.

Re: Best dive destination/resort/value help!

You could try Anthony's key in Roatan. One of the best dive operations I've seen. You can get your own hut out on the key over looking the water. Boats are big and not that crowded. You can dive with the dive master or venture off by yourself. All inclusive. Little more money than Cozumel, but it ni...

Hood Canal this Tuesday or Thrusday

Anyone interested in diving Tuesday morning to Pinnacle or Thursday morning Pulali point. I have these 2 days with no dive buddy yet. 8:00 at Quilcene dock to beat the weather. Pinnacle 110'+ Pulali 150' to see if we can get a shot of a six gill. Tides not great, but should be ok in these spots. Dale
