DIW? never done it. Weather? perfect. Tides? great.
Was taking the day off work anyway so I planned to leave Bellevue early and try and beat traffic. Got to Federal Way anddd realized I forgot my STA at home... ran back home and got the damn thing then booked it south. 1hr45in later I made it. Met up with dlh, Gdog, Scubie, scubak, suited up, waited till 6:15 and made our way down to the water. Having never done DIW before I was super stoked.
A fantastic 70min dive was had by all, posiden cooperated and currents were marginal. Shockingly didnt come across any wolfies but did see a few Grunt sculpins, few octos and tons of buffalo scuplin.
Much thanks to Gdog I had a super great dive. I WILL BE BACK!

Another great ThThTh outing! The drive was a bit long, but well worth it. The three separate wrecks on I-5S seemed excessive however...
Here are a few of my pics:

Great dive everyone. I will post my pics soon.
DLH, I looked at my pics and the tiny fish I spotted was a baby Red Irish Lord. I have never seen a baby I was super stoked.

Great shots... a bit bummed about missing this dive but I was still recovering from Silfra.

Wow, I love the baby RIL. You can even see the start of the "stars in the eye". I need to look up the lifecycle of the Red Irish Lord now to see where the juveniles usually get their start.
