I cannot take myself seriously as a diver if the weekly dive schedule is Cove 2 day in and day out. That is the only site people ever want to do, but that site is not why I got into diving. Exploration is. Im desperate for some new stuff here.

I can only find someone 40-50% of the time even with a week notice.Mortuus wrote: I am actually surprised you have a hard time filling it. Dont people normally jump on the opportunity to go boat diving, or have I been mistaken all along?
Odd...... I was definitely under the impression that most people (especially those on the board here) would jump on a boat diving opportunity. Isnt exploration the reason why almost everyone started diving? To see what's there? Even if you venture 50 miles outside of your normal site, wherever it may be, the life and geographical features seems to change immensely. Totally worth it imo,Don-B wrote:I can only find someone 40-50% of the time even with a week notice.Mortuus wrote: I am actually surprised you have a hard time filling it.

Most of the time it's one of the guys that I have dove with before.
I like the guys I have been diving with but there not always available.
It seems to me most divers are content with the same old spot's.
Its in there comfort zone and that's fine.
Not everyone wants to try new areas or roll off a boat.
Unless you're crabbing, there is absolutely NOTHING to see at Kayak Point. I think most of the crabs there die of boredom ...Jeremy wrote:Kayak Point dude
Les Davis can be an interesting site ... in fact, I'm diving there tomorrow. It's reasonable to dive on larger exchange days. And sometimes there can be interesting things to see out in the structure.Rooinater wrote:There's plenty of places. I routinely run down to Ruston Way for diving. Les Davis can be dove whenever and comes alive at night. Lobster Shop on the upper portion of the wall on mild to medium exchanges can be timed. The dry dock can be dove on medium exchanges, along with old town dock, those pilings get little to no moving water, along with several other sites on Ruston. Send me a pm and I'll head down there next week to do a dive after work. You also have a couple sites in the lake that are really not current sensitive. :p
Keystone Jetty is most definitely current-sensitive ... especially on an ebb. Once you get beyond about halfway out the jetty it can get "windy" in a hurry. The other thing you have to consider is the wind ... a stiff south wind can make entries and exits a bit challenging ... especially on a high tide.msblazer wrote:I'm no expert, but I recently dove Keystone Jetty and Rosario. If you don't mind a bit of a haul to Whidbey Island, both were very good dives and largely tide and current neutral - Keystone gets sporty if you wander past the jetty, but ther's plenty to see inboard of that.

There I go sticking my fin in my mouth. I can only say that when I dove the jetty a couple of weeks ago, the water was flat calm up to the end of the jetty. But oh boy was it moving beyond that! My buddy and I stayed we'll inboard admiring the anemones.Grateful Diver wrote:Keystone Jetty is most definitely current-sensitive ... especially on an ebb.
