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 .....

Yes, this book is a must for diving Bonaire!ktb wrote:If you can purchase the Bonaire Shore Diving book before you go and have it shipped quickly, I would. I don't remember seeing it on the island. There were brochures like it, but nothing as detailed.

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.

Columbia River camping
My wife and I are planning on doing 3 nights of tent camping on the Columbia. It will be be mid week, so we are not planning on reserving any site. We were thinking of possibly Maryhill or Crow Butte State Parks. Does any one have any suggestions or a favorite camping location in that area? It doesn...

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: Cape Lookout Oregon Coast
Hey Bric, nice report and great pics! Sounds like it would be a lot of fun to do this. I was able to look over the boat and talk to the owner at the expo. I was impressed with both.

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.

I'm a big fan of the Nikon D90 and been watching prices come down lately. Adorama has a great price on Nikon refurbished cameras, http://www.adorama.com/Als/ProductPage/ ... kbid=63773.

Re: Leopards and Dorids and Urchins, oh my!
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.

Re: Does anyone do day dives during the week?
So of all of you who have posted so far, how about a dive Tuesday morning? I'd like to do Saltwater state park, but if the swim out to the new structures is too much, where do you suggest? I'll go. Salt water is one site that I am anxious to get back to. I am curious as to how much new life, if any...
