Recent Diving (God's Pocket, Campbell River, and more)

Post by YellowEye »

Hi
I recently enjoyed some diving in Browning Pass (God's Pocket Resort), Campbell River/Discovery Passage (Abyssal Charters), The San Juan Islands (#thebuttboat), and The Strait of Juan de Fuca (shore dives). Great diving! Here are some of the snaps!

Crazy beautiful snaps Eric!!!! Was so much fun diving with you! :luv: :partydance: :joshsmith:

I had so much fun on this trip. It was a much needed vacation! It was really nice to meet max bottom time aka Phil & Merry! Also it was soooo fantastic that Pat :luv: The Queen of Keystone was at Gods Pocket with us too! The staff and crew were so nice!!! I highly recommend diving on Vancouver Island! Was also really nice to dive Campbell River on the way home and extended our trip. Earl at Abyssal Dive Charters is the best!

Here are some of my snaps! :popcorn: :eric:
