Your pictures look good... glad you had a great dive. What kind of camera did you get?
Thanks Dale for the complement.
I picked up a Sealife DC1200 with strobe and wide angle( did not use the wide angle today ).
It was on closeout for half price.

We were given a rare treat today, a GPO out in the open. I did find a pair of wolf eels on eggs but they were to far in the rocks to get a good...

For Wednesday low tide is about 11am at a 7.1', high is at 3:30pm at 11.9'. current will not be an issue. Wind plays a bigger role. The fore...

Did you launch your boat out of Neah Bay? We did the east side of Tatoosh Sunday morning and had great vis - about 60- 70 ft below 30 feet.
We stayed at Sekui.
Its only a 30min ride to Neah from there.
We almost dove Tatoosh Monday, I wish we would have now.
