Blakely Rock 6/26

Took another trip to Blakely Rock with JPA, Gdog and Scubie. It was sunny and super warm with okay viz and stronger than expected currents. Perhaps 15 feet of viz with lots of particulate. There were lots of egg laying nudis around and a very large, cooperative war bonnet. Many pregnant rock fish we...

Looks like your persistence paid off! Great stubby shots. Hope you found a replacement valve for your BCD. Guess we ought to check out those parts every now and then for wear and tear!

Re: Blakely Rock 6/12

Wow, lots of great shots YE. The over/under is pretty cool. The shot of JPA on the safety stop is amazing. It's almost as if there is a walkway right up to the surface with all the growth on the line. Well framed. The egg yolk and sun burst turned out so nice!

Blakely Rock 6/12

Visited Blakely Rock today with JPA, YellowEye and Scuba Jess and dived China Wall and Shangri-la. It turned out to be a very beautiful day with 25 feet of viz. We had a few mishaps. SJ's drysuit flooded and when I jumped in for the second dive my wrist mounted dive computer came off. I didn't notic...

I can do edmonds. Hope the viz is passable since it's a shallow dive.

Doesn't work for me in Chrome on a PeeCee. Tried Firefox and it worked barely, but stuttered and stumbled around before crashing the browser. Was trying to view on youtube.com. Will try on my mac later.
