Northwest Dive Club

Bassman, glad to see you made lemonade out of lemons! Also glad you found something cool. Btw - I was the solo diver shaking my head in frustration. I agree, that was the worst viz I've seen too! Nice to meet you and I will have to come out to dive with you all soon.

BTW - Good pictures. I knew you got a couple keepers!!!!!

It has been so long I forgot we saw this... Better late than never I guess :-D

Thanks for the input, I was thinking 2 would be prime-time out there. Thanks again.

I am planning to dive EUP this Saturday with a friend, not sure what time yet. It looks like the tides may be swinging that day. Since I have only dove once there I am a bit concerned about the current and surface swim. My buddy is also pretty new to Washington diving, he has dove a lot in Monterey ...

I recently won a trip to waidroka bay resort in Fiji. It is for 1 person, and I can travel by myself, which I don't mind that much. However, if someone is interested in going with I'd love to have a PNW dive buddy as I know how good the divers are up here! It will be about $2,600 +\- and I am booked...

Where was the baby wolfie located?

Very strange. Kinda looks like a fireworm or something like that. Can't wait to find out.

Good question. I have been asking since they notified me a couple weeks ago. I think they will show them in the next magazine. They showed them at the expo but the slideshow was so fast I couldn't remember them.

Not sure if this is a photo question????

Any good recommendations for 1 or 2 TB storage drives. I'd also like to connect it to my router or wireless. Any recommendations on central access hard drives?

Thanks Mike! There were some great photos in the competition. What an honor to be selected amongst such established photographers! Here are a few of my favorites. All the photos were good but these are amazing (IMO). PNW UW photographers that have tried to shoot lumpies, sea spiders, and warbonnets ...

Found this little guy at Redondo last night. It was at 12' just north of Salty's. It was really on the move and would not hold still for a good shot :-) There was almost no large life but we saw 7 stubby squid (including the smallest one I have ever seen). I zoomed in to show the grains of sand. The...

I agree with ArticDiver. I think a can light may be too much even for a night dive. During the day I turned off all lights the critters usually scatter when you hit them with light during the day. I would rent a light in Hawaii rather than buy one or call one of the contacts there and ask what is re...

A few of us will be at Redondo Thursday evening for a 6:30pm +/- splash. Welcome to join us. BTW - We will be taking off from Puyallup around 5pm. Nice to meet you!

Not sure what it is doing, but that is very cool! It looks like it is depositing another egg.

No problem on the batteries in checked luggage.

Btw- Dave will coordinate rental gear for you too. I always spend the 50 and pack my own gear, but that is my personal preference.

I have used www.divewithdave.com, great rates, personalized service, shore and boat dive options. Tell him Jesse sent ya, he will take great care of you!

Here is a link to the photos that were submitted. I cannot tell who finished 1st / 2nd / 3rd. But it is fun to click through the shots :-)

Yes, congrats to everyone who placed in this year's competition! I am pretty sure I saw Jan's name under several photos. The slide show went very fast so it was difficult to register name/category/photo.

BTW - Great video! Well deserving.

I came across this strange site. I circled around to get a closer look and sure enough, the anemone was chomping down on kelp. I didn't know kelp was part of their diet?

I saw this little "Potato Bug" on the tail of a Sculpin. I had never seen one of these before. I believe it is an Isopod, but not sure exactly what kind???

WOW, good eyes. I had to zoom way in to spot those little guys! I am by no means an ID expert so I will let someone else chime in :-)

I have tried to shoot the Shaggy Mouse Nudibranch for a long time. I never seem to be able to get a clear pic of them. I found this one in the open and snapped several good shots.

Calvin,

I was shooting with a Canon G10 and (2) D51 Ikelite strobes.
