... Vis at least 20fsw, more in the shallows. Almost an 'aquarium' dive! wooohoo! ... This gave me a chuckle. I just returned from a family trip to HI that, of course, included some diving. The folks there were complaining about the very poor visibility due to the swells and rain. Vis was "dow...

Great video! The viz looks really good. I love your music choices too. If you had a better way for the video lights, your movies would be AWSOME! Sometimes the spot blows the colors to white. Keep then coming I really enjoy them. Thanks, I've been experimenting about how to tone down the light. Som...

Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87Sn0BQTYIo My 1st dive at the Les. The topside weather was fantastic. There were a few obstacles to dodge at the entry point, but it was doable. Those stairs are great! After talking with a few other divers that had came back in, we hit the 1st dive ...

Wow, good eyes! I was trying to figure out what the heck you were looking at when you pulled back that kelp. I saw that small orange (anenome?) and thought...well, hey ok that's cool too. Good spot!

OK, so I need a diaphragm....for a Scubapro Air 2 reg/inflator. here's the part, but couldn't find a number. Somehow on the last dive, or while cleaning... it tore.

Yeah, that's what all the little white 'floats' are for in the picture background...(buyer beware!)

...He finally moved so I could scoot forward 3 feet...Oh well, I seem to piss peeps off wherever I go!.. Nah, you're cool. They were crazy south enders....It was really wierd though that they didnt go dive, he just suited up and then left. I asked him what they were filming, and the 1 guy said some...

PAIN! Awesome. Thanks MZ!

I totally thought about putting that sound clip in there, but needed more footage of Chris & Joe going at it....

Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtxyFRw5QYg Met up with Pez, Fishtiq, H2Odoctor and Oregondiver to dive the hole. It was good times....thanks for coming up/down ya all! A few other divers were also out, but just enough parking spaces to keep everyone happy (Oregondiver had to run ov...

I am bringing Pez and Fishtiq along with me as back up... Look out Hood canal the norhend Boyzzzzz is coming .. MZ is there a place to stage equip across the street if we have no parking ??? Cool! I'll have to bring a bigger pot of soup then... Yeah, like oregondiver said there's a smaller turnout ...

oregondiver wrote:ooohh...club dive there could mean no parking for us...

I'll stop by early and tell them that there's a 6-gill down at sund rock, that should clear out some parking for us.

H20doctor wrote:Just a heads up MZ ... I heard there might be a club dive there so we are going to have company ..

Thanks, I'll go up a little early and block off the road so only we can get in there.
Know anyone from WSP that might want to help?

I like the solitude of being underwater, the relaxation and taking/sharing video of the dives.
It's a whole other world that many people don't know about, but should.

MZ

Groovy. See y'all at 10am!~ Uhm...how do I recognize y'all? I will be in a red subaru..red tanks...red drysuit (sorry, I went through a red era in my life early 2000's) Shell Hi Shell, I'll be in a green Nissan pathfinder, steel 100 tanks (no tank color, grey?), black&grey 'whites' drysuit. See...

H20doctor wrote:We should do the fisrt dive on or after 9 am... I am bringing 3 tanks and possible another diver ..

10am so oregondiver can meet up too?

Are ya doing more than one dive? To get there by 8am I would need to leave my house by 530am. I am willing to meet someone there by say...10am? Where is the octo hole? That sounds like fun. Rick Oregondiver: I'm planning to do at least 2 dives. I'll bet we might start our 2nd dive around 10am. Mayb...

H2Odoctor and I will be at Octopus hole, 8am this Sat. 1-24-09.
Come on out, bring your brightest light.

(Hopefully the vis should be great anyways though!)

Hi all,

Looking for a buddy for 2 or 3 tank dives this Sat. morning, 1-24-09.
I live in Olympia, so would like to dive Sund Rock or Octopus Hole (Hoodsport, Wa).
I'll dive most anything, prefer less than ~90fsw max depth.
Will plan on taking some video too.

Let me know, thanks!
