Mukilteo 1/19/09

Post by Nwbrewer »

laivindil, H2ODoc and I had a nice 58 minute dive monday at Mukilteo between the Oil pier and the NOAA pier. The tide was out, so we hoofed it up to the Oil peir and dropped in there, drifting slowly back to the NOAA pier where we exited. You had to do a bit of looking for the life, but it was there.

Sweet. My shot looking into the opening of the jar came out.

'brewer next time I'll try and be clearer that I'm asking for the camera ](*,)

Whatever dude, you know that log was totally different from all the other logs and way more special so you wanted to see it twice. At least I knew I was backwards when I hit the log. East, west, whats the difference?

Vis was not so good, but it could have been worse. 10-15'. We were in good shape since we had the death light along. :supz:

Between the two piers seems to be where the Airforce or somebody dumped a bunch of stuff at one time, so there is a lot of debris between 20 and 60fsw. Also some old pilings on the shallow end of that. Good place to fins small stuff.
