I am still on the fence but if I come I promise I'll actually bring my booties this time. Should I bring my dry hood for Norris too?

I think that the best save a dive kit item is a checklist so you don't leave a crucial item at home. This year it has been boots twice (thanks Paulicarp) and lead for me. At least I was smart enough to pack the inflator hose in the drysuit bag when I removed it from my reg. That said I have a little...

Cove II Friday morning around 25' except when following the guy in front of me.

Anybody want to show a Seattleite a good time? I have an unexpected trip to Newport this week. i could drag some gear along and stay over to dive. PM me if you want to chat, I'll probably be online frequently tonight.

Don't forget the foam ear plugs. Also the price of noise canceling headphones has dropped quite a bit if you don't have to have the Bose unit.

I might be up for a dive around 4:30.

I'll probably be down to Redondo later in the morning and may want to buddy with somebody. I'm normal sized with a beard but I'll be with a very obese couple (impossible to miss). I don't know if we'll be in the big white Chevy diesel truck or the burgendy Toyota mini-van.

Tanks are filled and I am up for 10:00. I'll PM a phone number in case you want to go earlier. Viz was decent yesterday.

Welcome April, About half my dives are with folks off the board here (perhaps tonight at Muckelteo). Watch the dive planning forum. There are also good traditional dive clubs locally like Marker Buoy Dive Club (Seattle) and Moss Bay Dive Club (eastside) if you are interested. I live in the Northgate...

I might have to join in the fun. I'll have to see what is happening Sat. but a late night dive might be just the thing.

I am still interested. 4:00-4:30 meet would work for me. I am up for crabbing or just a nice dive with somebody who knows the site. I'll PM you my cell. I am going to be offline for the rest of the day.

I could be up there around 4:00.

The Everett Herold reports that volunteers are needed to help collect crab larvae in Snohomish County. The work isn’t hard, said Paul Williams, a shellfish biologist with the Suquamish Tribe. It might be a bit yucky, but the payoff is that Williams and other biologists will be able to use the larvae...

The road is paved all the way to Neah Bay. I think that Chad is out at Neah Bay with his boat right now and nobody to dive with on Wed. I would suggest hooking up with him for some nice boat diving rather than hitting those other sites. PM me if you want his phone number.

OK, not driving up with Chris. Anybody want to be part of a plan B? The midweek is still a possibility.

I have seen thousands of dogfish gather at the North end of Cyprus Is. in the shallows just off the beach around this time of year. I have been told that they gather to eat the oolachan (aka candle-fish/smelt/grunion) which spawn this time of year at a specific point in the lunar cycle. Made sense t...

If for some reason you don't feel comfortable replacing a zipper slide I highly recommend Rainy Pass Repair in Fremont. They do top notch repair for outdoor gear (REI sends them lots of warranty work).

Well, I guess I should hook up with Chris and carpool out for the weekend of the 24th unless anybody else is planning to drive out for a more extended period and miss the weekend ferry lines.

How many tanks should I collect? Fills are in Seiku right?

Come on you guys, they were Dahl's Porpoises. Don't you know anything? :biggrin:

I don't know when I'll be out but I am going to find a way. Anybody want to carpool from Seattle for few days? Last time I drove out it took around five hours.

I'll have to go seriously investigate the job market in Neah Bay that week. After a half an hour or so I won't have anything left to do but dive.

newly graduated physician spouse :threadjacked: Can we get courtesy office visits? You can always create a "Ross" coupon. She'll be heading down to do an orthopedics rotation at Madagan next near. I'll tell H20Doc to wait until then to kneecap you then you can see her courtesy of Uncle Sam.

When I was a kid my family lived in Anchorage, Ak. for a few years. One time when we were bottom fishing jigging from a friend's boat in Prince William Sound (pre-Exxon Valdez) my mom hooked a fish. As she brought it to the surface a big lingcod jumped out of the water and latched on to the little k...
