I know it's last minute but I'm gonna throw it out there-i'm looking for a dive buddy for 4:30 or 5pm today at Edmonds oil Dock-I had a last minute cancelation-I will be there between 4:30 & 5pm & hope to be in the water no later than 5pm
i am OW certified & have 24 logged dives-I'm not particular about dive buddies & this is to be a leisurely swim along the pilings down & back-consider it a Friday evening stress reliever-nothing fancy-not very deep-I can be reached @ 425-501-6611

Re: need a dive buddy Edmonds oil dock 9/12
Mike ... not sure the oil dock is a good idea today ... did you check the current chart? My guess is it'd be anything but a stress-reliever. You really wanna be doing that site on a smaller exchange ... otherwise you really don't get a slack, the current just swirls around until it settles in a new direction.
Do as you please (obviously) but I'd recommend a different dive site considering the tidal exchanges ...

Re: need a dive buddy Edmonds oil dock 9/12
My tide book doesn't show edmonds but high tide everett is 10.4 at 4:50pm & the next low is 5.1 at 10:37pm
My downloaded current chart is for edmonds & it says slack at 5:21pm
I never get more than an hour-figured in at 5 & out at 6-didn't look that bad to me-admittedly I'm still learning to read the charts-i am familiar with the current in edmonds which is kind of why I like the dock
Thank you for the concern

I wouldn't dive the Oil Dock today.

If the Northwest Shore Dives book is correct you are going to be 1 1/2 hours late (past slack before ebb).

For what it's worth I went & had a nice dive-the vis wasn't as good as last friday but it was still alot better than many of the dives I've been on-other than some surge in close to shore there was no current to speak of-I made it out to the "T" part of the dock before starting to get chilly-I don't have a real undergarment-need to get one-Heres a couple of pic's-
If you look real close in the 2nd to last picture there is a lttle green eel that is camoflauged very well-Anyone know what it is?" What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"

Glad you had a safe dive. The fish is a Penpoint Gunnel.
