Terrific Mapping Project

Tangfish · Post by **Tangfish** » Sat May 20, 2006 9:01 pm

Hey folks, as some of you might know I'm currently doing my DM. I'm almost done and the final thing I have to do is an underwater mapping project. I'm wondering if anyone with experience in this department wants to give me a helping hand and do this together. I think it will take 4 dives or so to complete from what I hear, maybe less or more depending on the site. Or, even just some advice on the subject would be helpful, from those of you who've done this before. I'm thinking if I can get someone like diverdown to join me in some dives with that reel of his, to map out a local site that'd be swell!

Calvin,
Which site are you thinking of mapping? A reel would be helpful. Let me know.

Calvin I know i am not DM but can I help I think that would be a cool project.

we could map the pipeline or even better sunrise Beach. My buddy has a boat so it could be boat dives, and dave has a boat to

I haven't actually nailed down a site yet. I'm still thinking about it. Preferably a site that we wouldn't mind doing a few back to back dives at, and something with somewhat manageable conditions for mapping (i.e., no crazy currents, etc.)

I'm still trying to get ideas and seeing who's interested in that sort of thing. I'm thinking of getting started in about a week or so.

I'll do sund rock or octo hole with you and we have the BBQ coming up, everyone could run a seperate compass square and map there own and we put it all together.

Yeah, Calvin, I'd be more than happy to help, if there's anything I could do to be usefull!

calvin!

Three Tree North needs a good site map.

Or even South

I have not been able to find one on the net yet.

Yours could be the first!

Alot of cool stuff is there!

Good idea on Three Tree BASSMAN. I'd like to do something that has good access, hasn't been mapped yet and isn't too complicated topography-wise. Three Tree seems to fit the bill. Of course, anyone is welcome to come diving while I putz around with my slate and reel.

BASSMAN · Post by **BASSMAN** » Tue May 23, 2006 11:51 am

Tom Nic and I are planning on diving Three Tree this Thursday afternoon (3:00 pm) and possibly a night dive too. we are thinkin' of Three Tree S. for the first dive "Northwest Shore Dives" has some info on Three Tree S.
Maybe we will see you there?

Wow BASSMAN, you are the king of mid-week midday diving. I wish I could, but alas, I have work to do in the orfice...er, office.

I will be diving this weekend though and tomorrow evening. You and Tom Nic should make it up for one of the Wednesday evening dives.

3 Tree would really cool, I will gladly assist and fulfill my DM requirements too if that works for you......

Tangfish · Post by **Tangfish** » Tue May 23, 2006 9:46 pm

Ok, Three Tree it is. Can anyone get going on it with me this Saturday? Oh yeah, I believe we'll need a reel and enough rope to get going on the mapping. I know diverdown has offered to let me use his, but I don't know if I'll see ya by this weekend.

Maverick · Post by **Maverick** » Tue May 23, 2006 11:14 pm

I will try to find a reel to use. I will try to dive withyou saturday, and map some shit.

BASSMAN · Post by **BASSMAN** » Wed May 24, 2006 6:39 am

Yep, I'm all about those Mid-day dives,
I'm working on Satureday untill 2:30 pm.
Are you going to be there,(Three Tree),any time after 3:00 pm?

Tom and I both have a church commitment on wednesday nights. besides
Alki Cove is kind of far for us since we live down in Lakewood and I have to get up for work at 3:00 am

Maybe some Wednesday Tom and I can play hookie from church and go diving. $\:D/$ just don't tell the Pastor! Oop's

Tom IS the Pastor!

Maverick (and anyone else interested in mapping), here's an example of a map, provided by Anita:

There you go cut, paste, print, done!!!

Tangfish · Post by **Tangfish** » Thu May 25, 2006 10:10 pm

Yeah, problem is... my instructor gave me this as an example. I guess so much for setting the bar comfortably low!

Maverick · Post by **Maverick** » Fri May 26, 2006 6:52 pm

Anitas map blows goats calvin, what is this not to scale shit, I can't beleive she would assign you a project and give you a halfass example. yours will kick ass, As long as you get a wink of sleep.

Had a great dive at Three Tree N. with Tom Nic on Friday afternoon.
We saw a couple of Octo's and got some cool pics along with a video of the Octo's. (Tom Nic is becoming quite the UW Phtographer).
Rat fish and Rock fish were everywear!

Vis. was great for our first dive, maybe 20 feet.( Isn't that sad, I considder 20 feet vis great?)

We have dove this site several times now and it just keeps getting better!

I sure hope Calvin can help us find the boat again.
We found it once on our first dive and then have not been able to find it since then.

Note: Three Tree S. has a great overview in the "Northwest Shore Dives" book, Three cars and a boat but there is "No Parking" Signs everywhear!
Sre would like to dive this site, but could be a long walk in your gear, to get there.

Okay, I seriously need to finish this darn mapping project of Three Tree. Will anyone dive with me there at around 2pm or so on Saturday? I'll bring a line and slate. Help a brotha out, someone? Anyone?!!!!!

Joshua Smith · Post by **Joshua Smith** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 10:12 pm

Damn, I'd be happy to, but I'm working 'till 4 or so, most likely....

BASSMAN · Post by **BASSMAN** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 5:41 am
