Northwest Dive Club

I think we should both retire!

Dale - I would invite you along - but I heard that you had to work on Sunday.

Hi! Anyone up for a night dive at Redondo on this Sunday evening at 5:30PM? I take pictures - so the best match would be someone else with a camera or someone who likes to look at the little stuff! Would plan for a 75 to 90 minute dive and would definitely be visiting the Lumpies. Water is crystal c...

Nice job on the pics, Dale! It was great to see such a change in just the last couple weeks at Elephant Wall!

Jesse - I really like your third GPO shot. Nice green water in the background and the 3d texture of the GPO shows up very well. Well done!

Yellow Eye - outstanding Lumpie pictures! Love the 3 dimensional detail! And the vibrant colors are beautiful!

Congrats, Dale! Welcome to the Lumpie club!

I agree - really like the stubby video and the two arms covering the little guy up. Nicely done!

No - I was pretty dry for the first dive - but got totally soaked on the second dive. Found out that my zipper has gone bad - so I am using my old dry suit tomorrow while my current one goes to the DUI hospital. Thanks for asking!

Nice shots, Dale! Thanks for joining me for the day.

Jesse - very interesting to see the depth of field aspect from the f stops you used. Love picture number 3 and the squid. Thanks again for joining me for such a great evening of diving.

Went diving with Jessie Miller and Mike Penders tonight at Redondo. Jesse had been kind enough to help guide me to where the Winter Lumpies reside at Redondo. The viz had cleared up quite a bit from last week - no rain for a couple days has made a nice difference. We found a lot of the usual night c...

Went diving with Dale today at Flagpole and Elephant Wall. Viz was much better than two weeks ago - more like 25 feet below 60 feet. We did not see as much variety of life as usual. What we did see were the usual number of wolf eels. One of the pairs moved away from their eggs long enough for me to ...

Eric - great shot of the red sausage jelly. I need to get some pointers from you on how to take such great open water shots. Nicely done!

Took to the waters on Friday afternoon in pouring down rain! Underwater it was cool and refreshing - and calm. Saw a lot of little octos - babies that were the size of a nickel. Really cool to see so many of them coming out at night! Viz was about 20 feet. A number of red octos also out and about. A...

Impressive shots! I especially like the first two! Nice job, Jessie!

Here is one of my pics, as well!

Very nice, pics, Dale! Was really great that the same GPO has been out in he open on three consecutive dives. We won't always be so spoiled! Let's put this on the calendar as the one time this year that we had wide angle on - and didn't regret it!

Nice PSL pics! I need to come out and join you on Thursday! I'll try to get off work early enough to join you guys.

It was about ten feet viz in the shallows - should have cleared up more today. Let me know if you'd like company. I'd love to go check it out during this week in the late afternoon/early evening.

Went to Redondo this afternoon. Viz was about 20 feet at 90 feet deep. There was additional debris in the shallows directly above the bottle field. Took pics of a couple grunt sulpins and small GPOs in the bottle field. And - spent some time with a very tiny (1/2 inch at most) at about 75 feet deep.

I haven't been to Alki Cove in quite a while! How was the viz?
Nice pics- thanks for sharing!

Went back to flagpole with Deep Diver today. Viz was 20 to 30 feet at flagpole. At Elephant Wall - viz was a beautiful 40 feet! There was much more activity today compared with two weeks ago at Flagpole. Dale and I saw at least 5 GPOs. Several new wolf eels have moved in - and we saw both a GPO out ...

Joined Dale (Deep Diver) today at Ed's Fault. Weather was a crisp 27 degrees with sunshine and glassy-smooth water! Viz was 15 to 20 feet at best. We found most life between 15 to 45 feet deep on the ridges. Lots of life to see today: a number of juvi warbonnets; juvi PS King crabs; Dale found two g...

Love the first lumpie picture! Are lumpies easier to spot or more prevelant at night? I've seen some in the day time from last year - but went looking in the eel grass for them two weeks ago and did not find any.
