It was a beautiful day on Mt Rainier today! My dive buddy Rod and I drove up to dive in Mowich Lake, on the north side of the mountain.

Theives see dive stickers and they know the owners are out on a charter. I was hit last summer, and luckily, they ended up getting n...

Hi,

It is going to be a rough weekend for diving from shore so...

I have 4 spaces left for a 3 tank charter with Banditos. We leave Johnny's at 8am. Cost is $80, payable to Banditos. If you are interested, let me know ASAP so I can hold your space.

Thanks!

I have been diving the waters around here for a long time but just joined the site.
