Re: Its that time of year again - CSOs

YW As many of you know, the "pooper pipeline" just west of Les Davis is the outfall from one of our sewage treatment plants. The good news is that the water coming out of that pipe has been treated, and in many ways it's cleaner than the water in Commencement Bay that it's flowing into .....

Re: DONT DIVE STEILACOOM MARINA/SALTERS POINT

I recentely visitied this site just to have a look around. It looks good and I didn't see any signs that prohibited diving. I would dive it at slack though, the surface water was really moving when I was there.

Re: Bonaire dive spots

I really liked The Lake for it's double reef. Karpata up North is not to be missed. You really can't go wrong with any of the sites, the diving in Bonaire is wonderful! Make sure you bring a copy of Susan Porter's book and you will be set. Have fun.

Re: DIW June 22, 2010

Great report Ron, not much to add. It was a beautiful night for a dive. When we surfaced, it was almost dark and the moon was shrouded in light clouds. I ended up missing a couple of good shots, especially frustrating when I missed the large Kelp Greenling. The strobe has been a mixed blessing for m...

Re: Bonaire, May,2010 (short report)

Glad you a great time and I assume you had no issue with flights. Bonaire is truly amazing and I can't wait to go back. I think that May is the perfect time, beginning of the low season.

Thanks to Julie, Renee, Keith and Ron for a truly wonderful dive and socializing at the Tides. Today is what this hobby/sport/way of life is all about. Sunrise is my all time favorite dive site, warm or cold. The hill does not bother me because the reward is so great. We dropped right above the wall...

Nice shots Ron. Thanks again to Bill and Ron for a great dive @ LD. It has been several months since I have dove there. I was a bit surprised that we managed 74 min here. I will try an upload a few pics tomorrow.

Salt water is one site that I am anxious to get back to. I am curious as to how much new life, if any...
