Northwest Dive Club

I have a Hollis 38lb wing that I use for both warm and cold. I have a steel blackplate and webbing for cold, and an aluminum backplate and webbing set up for warm. Two screws, plates switched, and I'm good for either. Simple, works for both.

Lovely...

Beautiful fotos of beautiful fish! Thanks for sharing them with us!

Welcome Ken!

Buncha hard core cold water divers here that would be more than happy to share their favorite sites should you care to!

So happy that you are able to experience this!!

The house reef was amazing. Some of my best dive there....

So beautiful.... Makes my travel trigger finger itch!

Thanks for sharing this and so many other journeys with us Jan! Blessings on you and your daughter!

Wow. Fantastic shots people! Well done. Love the Lumpies!

Interesting. I have not noticed adverser responses to 99% of the critters I photograph that is more than just a general avoidance of the bubble blowing monster. That 1% has been in Seahorses, however. I have seen them repeatedly turning their head away from a photographer, giving their back to them ...

Thanks for the report!

One more iconic PNW dive site that I have yet to dive!

I was referring to the particulate in Hood Canal, which is definitely River runoff

Beautiful. It was really gorgeous, and for some reason unexpected (by me, anyway). One of the nicer ones I remember seeing. At least it opened up for us in Lakewood, I know lots of folks were clouded out....

Sund Rock on Monday 1-21 above 40 fsw was pretty bad, with tons of particulate in the water no doubt from the flooding rivers. The halocline was thick and 15' deep. Below 40 fsw viz was nice, 20-25', the place to spend as much of your time as your computer would allow!

Nice!

Fun stuff!

Looks like a lovely lumpy evening!

Very nice! I need the secret code / handshake for best conditions to look for to dive here!

Lovely pics!!

Yay Slugs!

I'm in for New Year's Day! Can't wait!

Are you going to try and make it? We will have had 3 days of sunshine by then!

Thanks for posting this. Still trying to work out details, but Monday / Tuesday will likely be my last dives of the week. I'll confirm here when I'm a definite!

Fantastic!

Lovely pictures, and a wonderful adventure!

We are so privileged to live here!

Hmmm.... trying to talk some folks into doing Sund Rock with me tomorrow. If that doesn't pan out I'll most likely be there.... Dive #1300!

Just one story... My brother was an avid fisherman. He loved Alaska. His two sons and I were in Alaska and we were out trolling for salmon in our small boat. A few words of memory, then each of us took a handful of his ashes and scattered them behind the boat as we were trolling. The only thing that...
