Re: Dive Computers

I don't use a computer for anything, simple bottom timer for all of my diving. And yes I do multilevel profiles all the time with it. I don't have a regular div...

Any suggestions? I'm open to ot...

Celebratory dive, eh? Only if I can get flowers the day before :evil4:

Just kidding. Where do you have in mind? I'll see if I can get my drysuit valve fixed before the weekend. Just found out the reason why I've been diving wet every time though I was in a dry suit! ](*,)

The club dive, I probably won't be able to make it this time as I have an open water class to teach that weekend now. So next time maybe, but we'll do some dives together for sure :)

Re: Port Hardy- Browning Pass HideAway

Hi John, Those were really great dives. Thinking about Hardy, I don't feel like diving in Vancouver anymore :p I didn't get any emails from you. I don't think I'm in the email list cuz I decided to join the trip in a really short notice. I was planning to go back there again sometime soon. Maybe not...

Hello, again

It's been a while since my last visit here. I thought I probably could introduce myself again for those I haven't met. I'm from Vancouver, BC. I made a trip to Washington last December. I was lucky enough to have Lynne and Bob show me some dive sites in the area. Shortly after my dives in Washington...

They look like Orange Zoanthid (Epizoanthus scotinus), up to 2 inches tall, usually can be found from intertidal to 180 ft.

I could be wrong.
