Thank you sir. H2O, are there any good afternoon dives up in the anacortes area?

I'm hosting the Marker Buoys on Sat.
Friday at DP is as good as Sat. except for the 8AM splash, which means getting going like 6AM.

Sunday is a tad bigger but more time friendly.
Been pretty hazy up there the last 2x out. Current has been a bit late too.

I don't know about Skyline. If anyone goes to Skyline I'l like to know the results. That's an odd profile for the weekend. It'll either be great, or you will have a strong outgoing current that will not reverse. Really small exchanges can do weird things there. I go on profiles I'm pretty sure will be good. It's a long drive to be disappointed.

If you do get in a strong outgoing current, work your way up to the shallows, like chest deep. It's pretty much gone there and you can work your way back. The trail could be an option.....if you can get up to the trail.

Thank you for the reply. Any good recommendations for an afternoon dive in that area or is everything current sensitive?

Rosario beach isn't really current sensitive.

I need to hit NW Isl again. I did a solo out there and didn't know what I was doing and saw nothing, but got tips on where to go and now I really wanna hit it again

Titlow ...

I hear Viz is better in the south end right now ..

Buy your sxooter, current sites are way more easier on them ...

You can hit Keystone. Either tuck in behind the rock of life (which is before the current split), or wait til the evening slack!

The little island straight out from Rosario. It's a scooter dive unless you love kicking for 30min+

The island straight out from Rosario Beach is Northwest Island and I dived it wrong. If you attempt it you need to dive the SE side of the island (Urchin Rock side). It's a really nice dive and gets about 70ft between Urchin Rocks and NW Island. If you attempt it from the east side, it's about 8ft deep and turns to sand.

Cool & thanks.

Yikes!

Someone say they were diving Skyline tomorrow? I had to ditch Deception Pass this morning between a car issue and feeling a little off (getting a little carried away on Thursday at band practice and a late night at a show last night did me in). If someone is going up there tomorrow morning I'm in
