Some hard data on a shoestring non-commercial boat operation: I have a 1985 Trophy purchased in 1998 for $8000 and have used it almost exclusively for diving. I later purchased a trailer for $2400. The boat holds 4 divers. For the last 8 years it has averaged 13.5 dive days per year at an average co...

Sunday 8/12: Possession Wall (Fingers) 15-20 ft VIS at 50 to 80 FSW. Hat Is Fishing Reef 15 ft VIS at 40 - 50 FSW.

August 3; Murph 3-4 ft; KVI Tower = 30 ft

We collected about 75 - 100 feet each 1 inch manila with a double loop at the anchor end and two 1/2 inch with the marker buoy and a couple of crab pot buoys.

I was on my boat at Blakely Rock tied to the China Wall buoy with 2 divers in the water when I heard the missing diver call on VHF. We left about an hour later with several police and or coastguard boats there and thinking the victim had been found and at least in the process of being recovered. I w...

Yesterday I tied up to the Blakely Rock south buoy, China Wall, and put two divers in. Thirty minutes later when the next two, including myself, started to descend the buoy line it went slack. We soon discovered it was no longer anchored and we were drifting towards the sand bar west of the rock. We...

The shop owner/instructor was Bob Barringer. The shop was on Aurora at about N85th.
I was an active club member in the early 70's

Camano wall at the south end of the island. Look for outflow pipe and long staircase by beach cabins. Anchor in about 30 ft. ledges start at about 50 FSW. Follow ledge north for most interesting at about 95 FSW. I'd be happy to show you, your boat or mine, any day of the week.
