Early ThThTh and Lumpies! 2-8-2018

Post by Tom Nic »

Well, the remnants of the ThThTh crew that weren't preparing for a warm water trip selected TTN for the evening dive. I hope they made it! If you did, please post!

Bassman, Pogiguy05 and myself arrived early, and found the parking tight and the wind brisk! Still I managed two dives, they did 3, and I had to bug out early because of a loose valve leak that left me with some wet undergarments.

Viz was milky and poor - worst I've seen in awhile here, but it was still a great day!

Here's a few snaps....
Wolfie!

This young Ling had more gumption than sense as he guarded an egg mass that apparently came loose and was being consumed by a Red Rock Crab. This was just hanging out in the middle of the slope - not the sheltered spot you want for your eggs!

And of course there are plenty of our "Charismatic Mini-Fauna" that we love so much!

A great day of Puget Sound Diving!

Nice report and pics Tom!

Yup the night crew went as well, I think we had 7 divers. It was a lot of fun!
