Thought I would share this with you.
It doesn't happen to often but every once and a while the Hood Canal will get some ice on it.
Here is a short vid.

Going to be hitting the sound again this upcoming Saturday.
looking at either KVI tower or South end of Bainbridge or both weather dependent.
will launch from the Manchester ramp (outside of Port Orchard) about 9am .
As of now there's only 1 spot.


Send me a pm if you would like to go.

What area and how deep?
The ling I seen was on the east to south-east side about 80ft down.
It was 50-75 feet away from the main wall sitting out in the open.

The Yelloweye is making a good comeback in the Canal. I have seen quite a few in the last year. Most are juveniles but a few nice one's also. I think you see more the further north you go. On a dive I did at Rosie's I counted 4 on one dive.They were in that 110-140ft range. I have seen a few though ...

For what used tanks are going for have you thought of buying new?

It doesn't seem like you save much and when you factor in time and gas to drive to get them.

Like Bob said there are a number of good charters in the area. If you never have dove off a boat i would advise taking a charter for your first one. The one ran out in the Hood Canal would make a good 1st boat dive. Sites like the Pinnacle and Pulali West would be perfect. Once you know your comfort...

IT's not even $29.08 an hour more like $26.04

current pay $4513 month x 12 months = $54156 a year

40 hours a week x 52 weeks = 2080 hours a year

$54156 divided by 2080 = $26.04 an hour

Made it out with Deepdiver for a couple dive's on The Canal. We did Pulali East and West. The vis wasn't to bad 15-30ft .At one point you could see the surface at 50ft! lots and lots of fish. Here are a couple of vid clips This is what good vis looks like [youtube]http://youtu.be/3BnRusO3BYs[/youtub...

I am actually surprised you have a hard time filling it. Dont people normally jump on the opportunity to go boat diving, or have I been mistaken all along? I can only find someone 40-50% of the time even with a week notice. Most of the time it's one of the guys that I have dove with before. I like ...

Are you limiting yourself to shore dives only? If not there are plenty of sites by boat. Like CaptnJack said most of the Hood Canal. Up in Discovery Bay you have Ed's Fault. The KVI tower is pretty good too. There are a few other down in the south sound but I have never dove them. If you don't have ...

Plans for tomorrow so today is off.

This was a rare Monday off for me( because of New Years ).
My next Monday off will be Memorial Day(unless I loose my job)

If any one wants to do a later in the day dive I'm open for that.
all I need is an hour notice.

CaptnJack wrote:Hope you had some good dives on the Rock. We were in my red RIB just west of you on China Wall. If I had know that was your boat I woulda come over and said hi.

You must have came in after we left. We were tied up on the buoy and were gone by 11:30

Made it out today to China Wall\ Blakely Rock with Macdiver. The top of the wall( big rocks) starts at 65ft and the bottom is about 100ft. It is full of large cracks and small caves. I counted 5 GPO's that were huge. They we all in there dens but from what I could tell they were in the 10-15ft range...

Seeing is someone would like to do a central Hood Canal dive off my boat( 17' Whaler )this Monday .
We would launch from the Misery Point ramp at Seabeck(kitsap county) 8:00-9:00ish.
We could dive Flagpole, Rosie's, The Pinnacle, Pulali east or west. Take you pick.

I have a galvanized PST LP95 for sale
had hydro and vis May of this year.
full of air, has yoke only valve.
$200.

also have Catalina al80 needs hydro $50.

Hood Canal

Pulali East Wall 10-15ft(even deep )
and The Pinnacle 10-25ft depending on depth and area.
with all the storms and runoff its just kind of murky.

I just bought one 2 weeks ago and love it. only 3 dives so far but it works great. I used the head mount. The only bad thing is you can't tell your wearing it. So I need to rig up a safety strap . There are 3 variations of the hero 3 White ,Silver and Black. From what I read the White is a old Hero ...

I think tomorrow is out.
I have a stuffed up head and need to take care of some work at the house.

Plans pending for sunday.

Seeing if someone would like to do a central Hood Canal dive off my boat with me this weekend.
We would launch from the Misery Point ramp at Seabeck(kitsap county) 8:00-9:00ish.
We can dive anywhere from Flagpole to Pulali.

I'm in if there is someone that i can do a 5:00 splash with. If Tom and I splash at 230pm our SI will be finished around 430pm so we could wait. My cell is 253-459-5510 you can text me or call to let us know when you will be there. I'm off work at 3:30 and coming from Tacoma. I should be there 4:00...

I'm in if there is someone that i can do a 5:00 splash with.

It was just a thought since most of the structure is in 30-70ft range. I figured there might only be a few days a year that the conditions would be right. A live boat would be a must and it would probably be a one and done dive. Even when the tides and currents would be good the wind and waves could...

On my way out to Discovery Bay yesterday we went by McCurdy point. Its half way from Point Wilson to Discovery Bay. I was wondering if anyone has dove there? I have fished off there a few times but never dove it. I do realize it would be a very current sensitive site and only could be dove at slack ...
