Re: 2017, Wrapping Up - # of Dives? Highlights? Lowlights?

Dives = 50+

Highlights = Diving the Warren and the Sherman car in Lk Crescent. Diving the Bomber and the Dowell in Lk. WA.

Lowlights = Not diving enough this fall.

2018 = More diving. Lots of practice playing with multiple bottles, finally finish up Mod3.

Re: Where to get Argon fills

Hoodsport-N-Dive, both the Tumwater and the Hoodsport stores can fill your Argon tank.

If you're using the little 6cf tanks, try the 13cf tanks and get double the dives out of one fill (thats what I do).

@jmartel... Not sure yet, got to finish up a job in Everett, then headed down. Hopefully don by two, then a pre-dive dive at 4:00-4:30 would be great.
