Later Night Dive @ Cove 2 - Mon 1/6

Hey, I'm looking to start up some regular night dives at Cove 2 sometime in the new year. My goal is to eventually see (and photograph!) a sixgill shark. Knowing the rarity of that, though, it'll be nice just to get out for more night dives and maybe see (and photograph!) some GPOs out in the open. ...

Re: South Florida Diving Recommendations

A little late, sorry. But I recommend Jupiter Dive Center. They're two-tank trips were great. Lots of sharks and goliath groupers. For a more relaxing dive, Blue Heron Bridge on Singer Island was really nice as well. You can check out a dive flag from a nearby dive shop (required). Also, you have to...

Dive at Edmonds Sat 12/14?

Trying to get one last dive in before turning in my gear for its annual service and hanging up the drysuit for 2013.
I've attached the tide table. Would be up for meeting for a single tank dive so that we hit the water sometime between 12-2pm.

Lost Focus Light at Redondo

Lost a Sola Photo 600 focus light today at Redondo. Would have lost it somewhere between the "pipe boat" (http://seattledivetours.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Redondo-Beach.jpg) and shore. Next to the pipe boat is a pile of ridged tubes. Inside of one of the tubes is a small GPO. I was t...

Mukilteo Oil Dock 8/24 or 8/25

I'm working on my divemaster certification and need to map out a dive site. Alki, Redondo, and Edmonds seem like well-trod ground, so I thought I'd go for something a little different. It's a very shallow site. <30 ft for much of the way. But there's a lot of life and some neat features. Basically, ...

Dive @ Redondo This Weekened (6/1, 6/2)?

Slack high tide is at 12:41 PM on Saturday, 2:10 PM on Sunday. Happy to do two dives but am also good with just one. We can work out the exact time to meet based on how many dives we plan to do and any other considerations.

Dive @ Edmonds This Weekend? (5/18, 5/19)

I'm looking for at least one dive buddy for this weekend, either Saturday or Sunday, to meet at Edmonds. Slack high tide is at ~11:30 AM on Saturday and ~1 PM on Sunday. I own a Steel 130, so 1 long dive would be enough for me. If you'd like to do a second dive, however, I can check out a second tan...

That is awesome! I bet you got the biggest smile in the world when you saw it. Did the chest pound that NBA players do after hitting a big shot.

Re: Lost at Redondo: Nikon Camera in Ikelite Housing

So we went back this morning to try one more time. I was able to deduce its probable depth based on my computer's log and the depth at the point where we descended. Visibility was better, about 8-10 ft. We traveled about the same path as yesterday's dive. Within five minutes, I had found the camera....

Lost at Redondo: Nikon Camera in Ikelite Housing

I was out diving at Redondo this afternoon with friends. The visibility was 5 feet, maybe. We were at about 40 ft on our second dive and north of Salty's (so directly in front of the beach area). If we were on the shallow line, it would've been closer to the first reflector piles. As I was snapping ...
