Northwest Dive Club

Desperately in need of a dive after my Hornby trip was squashed by windstorms. TTN at 6:30? I can be there. I'm sure I'll invariably show up at 6:45 (reverse jinx), but I'll give it a shot.

If viz is still bad, I'd prefer to default to the easy terrain of Redondo.

I don't know how visibility will be. I'm thinking Saturday will work best. I could be persuaded to do Redondo or Edmonds.

Anybody going to be around the weekend after Thanksgiving for a dive? I can do Friday night through Sunday. I got a new drysuit undergarment and want to work out buoyancy issues before I go on a trip to Hornby the following weekend.

I was looking for a weekend dive. Sunday morning works for me.

Fun night indeed. I believe it was my 600th dive. I have some body shots of the sculpin in my gallery: https://derekcs.smugmug.com/Underwater/Seattle-Diving/Redondo-Beach-Park-2015-11-13. Consulting my books, I think it was a juvenile cabezon. The colors are from experimenting with gels over the str...

Does anybody have a pair of wetgloves I could borrow for this dive?
Thanks!

I'll bring extra gloves but I think your hands are a size up from mine.

If none of you have my phone number to text me tomorrow, feel free to PM me.

I'll be there this week. And I'll try to leave the house by 5:30 so I actually get there on time. Yeesh.

Have tickets to new Bond movie. Next week, though.

Thanks for the fun dive, guys! Like that red octo shot a lot!

If one of you has a smart phone, I'll be lucky to get on the highway by 645. Please bear with me. Will be there.

I can get there at about 6:45pm.

Anyone up for a night dive at Redondo? I need to get back in the water.

I like the dead salmon eye!

Thanks so much!

I took a closeup picture of a flounder's eye on a night dive at Redondo and noticed all these marks. They look like parasitic isopods or copepods, but they seem like cartoon drawings. Anyone know what these critters are exactly?

I like that picture of the grunt sculpin with the gunnels.

Sorry I couldn't make it out. Maybe 11/11 11am will work better next year...

And I think the "tiny GPO" is another red octo. The GPO eyes look different. Bigger. Here's a younger, smaller GPO in a PVC pipe at Redondo a couple years ago: https://derekcs.smugmug.com/Underwater/Seattle-Diving/Redondo-Beach-Park-2013-11-10/i-NhhPNNg I ran into exactly the same situatio...

Here are my photos from the night.

I'll be there.

Thanks for showing me around Mike. Great dives!

Great photos! I'm very jealous.

Love the video! Octopus nests are always fascinating to watch.

Charles Seaborn's Underwater Photography, which is an instructional book from the film days, has a lot of good Puget Sound photos. It's actually what convinced me to learn scuba diving here. I'll have to pick up Salas' new book. Cold waters is slim pickings. Planet Ocean has a few good cold water ph...
