He IS the best.

That is a lot of fish and really good visibility. So nice to see so many Black Rockfish. I remember a couple of years when they were first making their return appearance in the south sound. There are fairly large schools now at several south sound sites.

Very cool. Nice work you to. Way to go the extra mile Bishop to organize this and Richard for stepping up and joining in.

Not as much press as the fishing rod and reel off the dock at Cove 2, but, probably just as sentimental if not more for those involved.

You did good work, be proud of it.

I'd love to join you, but, it would be a really long surface swim from Bonaire.

Yikes!

What in the world are they thinking? You don't need a downrigger to fish in 50 feet of water.

Craziness, they must have been weaving in and out of the moored boats.

Glad you all came out of it ok.

If you stop in at the Local Dive Shop on the Island, and talk really nice to them, and maybe pick up a small gadget of some sort, they are likely to draw you a map of the site. At least they did when I was there. It is always a good idea to stop in at the LDS when going to a new area to get the most...

Wow! Speaks fish not only Janna does. Yoda as well she speaks.

I met John and Tom on their surface interval and I can vouch for the fact that they both thoroughly enjoyed the first dive, they were giddy like a (fill in your own analogy here).

It was nice seeing the two of you.

Great video. Felt almost like I was there. Crazy cool discovery.

Happy Birthday!

If you purchased it from an authorized dealer and registered it with Uwatec, they will likely take care of you. Call technical support and talk to them about it. They have always provided me with great service. They are no longer selling the SmartCom but they reserved a bunch of them for warranty re...

I was going to suggest that.

They work best if you dry the contacts off first (if after a dive) and then lick your fingers to make the contacts work.

Friday evening at Cove 2 was amazing. Could see all of the I Beams from one spot.

Sunday evening at Cove 2 only about half that of Friday. I think the difference may have been a weekend full of divers.

You mean right about here ? It's the one with the dot on the flag. Nope. West side of the island--the tip furthest west. Could there possibly be a different wall on Long Island? I have never been on the site, the GPS coordinates came from a different source. I know that the coordinates that were us...

An instructor found a weight pouch with weight inside at Cove 3 Sunday, July 26 in the evening and passed the weights on to me to post and see if I could reunite it with the proper owner.

Let me know if you lost one and I will make arrangements to try to get them back to you.

You mean right about here? It's the one with the dot on the flag.

And I would suggest that you go ahead and get your Dry Suit certification with a quality instructor. There are lots of things that you can learn from an instructor that a mentor may or may not be able to offer. Continuing education is a great way to gain experience and knowledge. There are generally...

Crabbing isn't open in Hood Canal yet. It opens 7:00 am on July 29.

If you do Redondo on the 15th there will likely be a bunch of classes doing check-out dives. I think it was last year either August or maybe it was July that there was a NWDC dive on a similar weekend and it coincided with like 5 or 6 different open water classes and I counted something like 100 div...

There are some slime tube worms in the second picture. They often times form colonies.

You probably won't see much, but, people do dive the lake. A great way to get the gear a nice rinse. Under the docks you may find some interesting treasures.

Be careful of the thermoclines and be prepared for the possibility of limited visibility, especially if you get into the muck on the bottom.

Hey Ron, you are not going to know how to dive without a camera!

Hopefully I wont have to know how.........It all depends on how fast that big brown truck finds it's way to the 'Claw!

Do tell what you got.

Nice pictures. That was us in the private boat that saw you at Maury Island on the 4th. Glad we could share the site with you.

We had a fabulous dive that day as well.

Amazing report. I can't wait to go.

July 2010, here we come. 384 days to go.

I will have to see if I can get in more dives than you did.

You know, I have a couple of spaces still available for my trip if you wanted to come along. PM me for details.
