Whats up MMM crew???

Post by dieseldude »

I hit muk Tdock last night on a mission & just a little worried that I would not get a parking spot since I expected to see the big MMM crew down there. There was only one car with a diver sitting inside waiting. I donned my gear, turned up mission impossible theme & headed out for one of the better T-dock dives I've ever hade dropping right into a humungo school of shiner surfperch & spooking a large Starry Flounder off the bottom as I headed out. Vis was flippin' awesome! I did my thing & came out & was approached by Blaiz(I think- I suck at remembering names)who apparently was stood up by your entire crew. Whats up with that? :smt064
I thought you folks had a regular thing goin'? Just want you to know you picked a lousy day not to dive. again :smt064

Just a few shots from my replacement camera which survived a MOD of 124 for about 23 minutes on this dive. Last dive I had a desicant bag stuffed in the case & the pressure was too much. It locked out my buttons until I got back to appx 50' & then started working again. I am undecided as to whether I like this one or not. More testing needed. I am uploading the vid clips now & will post later.

Bummer!!!! April, kitsap diver and I were in pre-class with BDub... we got to see a 10 ft2 area of Cove 2 while practicing our drills. Sorry I missed all the great stuff, but at least I'm feeling better about my back kick.

If my butt survives this weekend's class, I'm planning on being there next Mon.

I was all set to dive, had the gear in the truck and everything... But Famous Daves BBQ was calling my name just a little bit louder. Of course the wife had something to do with it as well.

I've asked around and never heard of any decent shore dives in the area (I assume this is shore accessible as I don't own a boat). We go there once or twice a summer. This was trip two this year. I'll have to check it out next year.

Did you just say, "I went diving at the Muk on Monday, and saw a diver sitting in her car, didn't introduce myself, went for a solo dive, got out of the water, talked to the diver that was waiting for someone to dive with, and found out nobody showed up for the MMM dive"?

REALLY?!?!?! Did you just say that? 'Cause that sounds totally Ridonkulous.

Sorry dude, I was out of town. Was there no thread?

And allow me to give a +1 to Pez. If I see someone who's clearly a diver just sitting there on a Monday, I pretty much assume they are there for MMM.

I may have been doing something that someone might not approve of for starters & for seconds after talking to this diver, My dive plan would have slightly exceeded her training at this stage of the game. Had I rationed my gas better, I would gladly have done a 2nd dive but alas I breathed it all up & was not really up for rerigging my regs for a singles tank dive, which now that I think about it, I didnt have an STA with me anyway so I would have had to sling it & go monkey. Still waiting for you to teach that class pez.
sorry for being such a poor representative of NWDC. I did try to be friendly. I'll go back to my corner & work on it.
I heard some other folks did a later dive & gave up a flashlight to the mean octo by the tdock. Glad he did not grab my camera. Supposedly got video'd. i'll see if I can get it posted.

GET OUT THERE & DIVE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was having a fascinating dinner with the guy who started the Rubicon Research Repository (which, if you don't know about it, is a publicly accessible, searchable database of scientific literature relating to diving topics) and three research guys from the Naval Experimental Diving Unit. Doing that outranked diving for the evening . . . :)

I have been sailing all the time I haven't been working for the last few weeks. I'll resume my regular diving schedule in September.
