Northwest Dive Club

Seems as though I cannot figure out how to post my photos here. Would someone be willing to tell me how, please?!

Fantastic Vis at Sund Rock last sunday, combined with the low O2 event provided great photo opportunites. Will try to get some pics posted later.

First dive on quick repair zipper on my drysuit, decided to do Octopus hole in the Canal. Vis was good, probably about 20'. Only one other set of divers there, and they were exiting the water. They said they didnt see any GPO's, and one wolfie. Well.....We saw a total of 8 GPO, including 2 who were ...

Love the vid! Thanks!

Would love to dive the coves...havent been there yet. However, seems as though I need a new zipper for my drysuit, so Im out for a bit.

Redondo today, 9/11, about 15' at depth, hit bottlefield, then ended dive as my drysuit totally flooded. Even at 52 degree F, was still cold when it hit the crotch area.

Thanks all. It represents about 30 shots to get the one, fighting the rolling surge, holding on to a large bolder for dear life, but it was worth it!!!!!

It really is a great dive. I hate "canned" dives, and agreed to go on this for my dive buddy. It was really great! Dove with Jack's Dive Locker, with Keller Laros. Here is a pic I took:

Tanks for the report and pics! We dove MM4 several times last Feb, and loved it.

Thanks for the video and trip report....have been meaning to try that dive.

Thanks for the report! Looks nice, on my list of places to dive someday. We leave for Cozumel Feb 8th, ready for a break from all this rain!

My condolences also to the family, and friends. I hope and pray that if or when they read this post, they are able to realize this discussion is all between people who desire to understand what happened and at least for my self, apply lessons learned. I am not a long time diver...I am a novice with ...

Where is Norander's reef? Very familiar with Harper's Ferry, but not Noranders. Didnt see a listing for it on this forum.

Cool....did you have to get the key from Mike at Mike's Beach?

Great pics! Have been talking about diving Flagpole Point...did you enter from the little road just north of the point?

Polar fleece here...and I usually get cold after 30-40 minutes in the winter. Saving my pennies for a couple nice Weezle Extremes. Wife also has polar fleece, she gets so cold that even pouring hot/warm water over her post dive she still cannot undo her weights, ect.

Aeris Atmos AI for the last 6 years. Easy to read, easy to use, handles nitrox. It does seem a bit conservative, but Im ok with that. Wife has one too. Sorry to jump into the thread late...and damn, not sure I want to breath on AMPM air.

Ebb slack was at 6:50 pm, very small exchange.Arlene and I kicked out to the ledges, dropped down at 6:40, sun was about one hour from sunset. Vis wasnt so great, but not bad either...maybe 15' or so. I knew we would find some Octos home, from all the crab shell debris on their front porches! 4 octo...

Ok, we dont have a reservation, so I guess we will just show up and see what we can find. Thanks for the input! Sorry to hijack this thread!

Ok, sorry, my bad. I was referring to Salt Creek, past port angeles. Was wondering about camping there, diving, entry points, closest source for air refills, places to eat, ect.....

Great timing on your report, as we are considering spending a few days at Salt Creek next week and diving. Anything we need to know in advance that you can think of? Would welcome any input, as it will be the first time we have dove there.
Thanks in advance!!

Wow....just went looking for my copy of Dive Alert...doesnt look like it is here yet. I am also very interested in this topic. Perhaps more on it can be posted here.

Thanks for the report, and fantastic pics!

Well put, Blacktoe....and great advice. This is one of the good reasons to discuss an incident like this. It is so tragic and unfortunate that this has happened; however, we all need to learn everything we can from it so this tragedy does not go in vain. Constructive input like this is vital to that...

The wife and I must have just left there, about 4:30, 4:40. There were several divers there today, vis was good below about 30 fsw. We had to cut our dive short due to free flow from the wife's regulator. Sorry to hear, our prayers to the family.
