How about 7pm, it would suit me better. As for the site, how about going to Alki again?

Dave, Sorry you are sick, bummer...
But did you know that the PS DepthChargers are having their club dive at Sunrise on Sat as well, which means that every charter boat will be there too. Last time there was something like 30+ divers on that little wall.
I would like to dive on Sat but can't make it anywhere till about 10ish..have a meeting at my unpredictable work.
Hope to see you guys Wed night at Cove 2, meet at 630.

Scubak, what kind of job do you have, are you on call?

Ahhh, ready for the Wednesday dive at Cove 2. See you guys there at 6:30pm sharp.

Janne, I'm PMing you Ryan's email address so you guys can coordinate carpool if you're both going.

Use this map to help you decide what bridge/route to take Janne, it will help a lot. 520 is generally so backed up that it may make sense to drive through bellevue on 148th and take I-90 from there (if 405 is bad too).


cheers,

Calvin

Octo Mania - Alki last night.

Post by Tangfish »

Janne and I had the most amazing dive. We heard the seals but didn't see them, however there was a ton of life to see including two octos, tons of little fish and the usual abundance of invertebrates.

One octopus was a juvenile, approx 3', and another very young one (pictured here). I just thought I'd make those of you who couldn't make it last night feel bad:

I added the photos from last night to the Seacrest Gallery I posted about the other day.

Actually Janne, I took a video of that first octo. It came out horribly because that laser beam you carry around was waaaay too bright, and the video came out blue/whitewashed :pale: I'm surprised you didn't make calamari out of that poor thing!!!
