Those shots remind me of the "Snowfall" and "Snowball" dive sites up by Browning Pass. Both are covered almost entirely by White Plumose Anenomes.

Re: Sitka 2017
So a full week in sitka ... i did 18 dives total .... shot 35 Gigs of video and came out with 3 videos showcasing the eye candy .. i would say the average viz during the trip was 40 feet , the water for some reason was Hazy ..? it was better in the south end towards camp coogan , than vers going north ... it was cold , and snowing ... i only had 2 days of clear weather up there .. but the views and the Mountains make up for it .. the friendly people and good food , along with the company.. drinking Beer at the P bar , and seeing all the boats in the Harbor..
This is the last dive of the trip ... and i plan to dive it next year and explore it more as its now my favorite site

Re: Sitka 2017
So amazing. I'm thinking you're going to have a whole bunch of people that want to jump on the Sitka Dive train... I know I do!

Re: Sitka 2017
I think you're right Tom. Looks like Chris had some inside help up there. Are there charters running out of there Chris? Do they do a good job?Tom Nic wrote:So amazing. I'm thinking you're going to have a whole bunch of people that want to jump on the Sitka Dive train... I know I do!

And there are no charters.
This is a HUGE imposition on locals who live there, so I'm always trying to tread lightly and be very considerate of Diver Dave and Sitka Diver. In the times groups have been larger the hospitality has been amazing. That being said, we all tried to make sure we covered gas, bought dinners, or whatever. Diver Dave would NOT tell us his costs, not sure about Sitka Diver. In any case, that's the lay of the land, and I personally have always tried to tread lightly in the couple of times I've been there.
Chris, well, you know....
I'm sure we'd need to hear from Dave and Dave on any possible folks going up. It is really their call.
