Northwest Dive Club

I'm trying to decide for Thursday, It is a site I have never dove, Some say it is the best Shore dive in the Puget Sound, the drive up there is a long drive. And I would like to be back to Fox Island with full tanks by 5:00pm. Decisions, decisions, decisions, What oh what shall I do? :smt024 :seesa...

Thank you all for kind words, I am glad you enjoy my feeble attempt to share what Browning Pass has to offer. I saw only very small portion of it, but my memories are forever. And when you have a great group of people to dive with, that place is is even better. For those who already visited John's H...

There was enough said about the Browning Pass great diving on this forum. Seeing all the great pictures taken there, I did not hesitate when I was offered a spot to go there with my fellow Whidbey divers. Two weeks after the big ADM expedition, ten of us followed in their footsteps driving up the ro...

I saw this slug only once in Whidbey waters. It took a trip to Browning Pass to find another...

Welcome fellow northender. On clear day I can see the beautiful mountains of your neighborhood

Two days after the roller coaster dive conditions at Keystone, things returned to normal :biggrin:
The Cabezon is still red from all that excitement ...

Beautiful . I just clicked the thermostat in my room up few degrees . :biggrin:

Welcome to the club Curt. Impressive stuff on your SmugMug site. Great to have a man of your talents here. NWDC is going global, from Thailand, Hawaii, now Florida

Interesting day at Keystone yesterday. Southerly wind was blowing, but no white caps on the water. Yet. One hour later, as I was doing my safety stop I noticed that the Plumose anemones are swaying, there was quite a surge, so I decided that exiting the water at my point of entry could be hazardous ...

Bob, I would be "crazy about them" if they were mine. What beautiful colors, Love those Hoodies. And the Octo. And the Orange peel. And the Berthellas. Basket stars ... Please share some more ....

And other critters got the same idea - lets spawn !

So looks like spring arrived - love is in the water ...

At least the eggs are not hard to identify :biggrin:
And the squid on this page are there only for illustration purpose, there were nowhere to be seen :

OMG That is one BIG Coconut crab ! :biggrin:

Very nice. IMHO, for wide angle shots it is almost a must. Did you get Ikelite DS-160 ?

Glad you enjoyed the prehistoric journey :) I had an interesting encounter with Penpoint gunnel. Instead to flee at the sight of camera bearing diver, this one not only willingly posed near a Lingcod, who one would think would make a quick lunch out of it, but when I got closer and the Lingcod fled,...

Trying to show little more of Whidbey Island above the water. It is still connected to the underwater - hope you enjoy a short stroll on the beach :biggrin: http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m147/Honza-01/22810Peat1S.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m147/Honza-01/22810Peat2S.jpg http://i103.p...

Thanks.
It might not be the tropics, but it looks a little bit like coral : :biggrin:

The colors on that snail are unbelievable. Great shots. It never fails, when you rigged for macro, something big will swim by ...
