Northwest Dive Club

https://derekcs.smugmug.com/Underwater/Seattle-Diving/Sund-Rock-2016-06-11 Headed out to Sund Rock yesterday morning with some Moss Bay Dive Club people. Much to my surprise, the weather was very nice, and the viz was as good as you'll ever see it these parts. Close to 30ft. Did the north wall on t...

I think I'm out this week. Probably back next week.

are we doing 1 or 2 dives?

I'm heading down early if you wanted to do 2 dives. Black Chevy Volt.

Needs more mating nudibranch pictures.

I plan on being there.

Highlight for me was the mating pair of red rock crabs where the female was molting. Didn't get to see her finish. It was a very clumsy process.

I loved the old fuel dock for picture taking. Can live without the crabbing. Is the Boeing dock similar? Could I convince someone to show me around some time?

...I can say the photos were taken at the T-Dock if anyone asks. I know how precious parking is.

Sure. Why not? I've never done an Edmonds night-ish dive before. Parking doesn't close til 10, right?

I'd like to do Redondo.

Love that white spotted nudibranch that I don't know the name for, Bob.

Taking the lady to SIFF Opening Night, so I'm out. See you next week.

Because I could swear that it was a school/squadron of squid. At least a hund...

Dave and I will probably arrive around 6:45.

What should we do?

Any parking lot in particular? I'm also willing to hitch with someone. I would like to try and make it out tomorrow.

No Heat game. No movie. But I'm fighting a cold. Questionable for Thursday. Want to go. Really depends how I feel when I wake up that day.

What kind of lens (and presumably diopter) are you using anyway? Those skeleton shrimp are *tiny*.

Really nice stubby squid shots. What kind of fish are in the eggs?

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm out. Heat-Raptors followed by Captain America.

So see you at 8am on Saturday, Echo?

I could be convinced to do an 8am and an 8pm dive. How late does the parking lot stay open btw?

Anybody interested in a dive Saturday morning at Edmonds? The tides look like they're gonna be crappy across the sound, but I'm willing to take a chance on viz. At the very least, it'll be a shorter surface swim?

I like the shallow DOF on the GPO closeup.
