So where is / what is Les Davis and what is the deal with its parking (please excuse my ignorance)? I think this is the second time I've seen someone poking fun at it and I hate to not be "in the know"billandwende wrote:Welcome. I dive Sundays and Mondays. I usually Dive Redondo because it's easy. Fox Island because its my favorite. And Les Davis because there is good parking.
If you feel the need to dive Tacoma area locations let me know I'm always looking to dive. In fact I'm almost late for my dive today.
OK I' sorry the Les Davis comment was out of line. The parking is not that good.
here's a couple links to info on les davis. i'm not sure what the beef is with the parking, though...trevorrowe wrote:So where is / what is Les Davis and what is the deal with its parking (please excuse my ignorance)?

Les davis is a, love it or hate it, dive site. On an ebb tide the vis is bad because of the Puallup River dumping in.trevorrowe wrote: So where is / what is Les Davis and what is the deal with its parking (please excuse my ignorance)?

Not you too, Keith! Someone PLEASE tell me of a diver EVER being harassed, much less hurt, at Les Davis......BASSMAN wrote:Les davis is a, love it or hate it, dive site.

On a Flood tide, Vis is much better. And if you plan on diving it on a weekend or certain nights, the parking Lot fills up quickly with motor cycles or cars with thumping sterio systems.
Oh yeah, And you might have to duck behind your car to avoid some random gun fire.
Where was your ferocious canine companion? I'll take you on a night dive at Les any time, Kate. I promise that no one will bother you AND I'll zip your suit all the way!Kalatin wrote:I have been harassed at Les Davis. I will no longer dive there with only female buddies at night, which irks me because I do enjoy chick dives. Quite simply - there was too much crap tossed our way while gearing up to make the dive relaxing. I have never had a problem during the day or with some "muscle" along as a deterrent. And seriously - the guys who gave me crap in a parking lot should be scared of me on a bad day with 20 pounds of lead weights in my hand. Next time it is no more Ms. Nice Kate.
I definitely would not recommend that place at night and though I haven't been bothered but I have felt uncomfortable several times with all the gangers or wannabes hanging out there blasting their boom boxes, drinking and blocking off half the lot.cardiver wrote:Not you too, Keith!

I have to admit my best dive at Les Davis,at night, was when Cardiver led the dive profile.cardiver wrote:I'll take you on a night dive at Les any time, Kate. I promise that no one will bother you AND I'll zip your suit all the way!
Underwater I think it is one of our better dive sites in the south sound area, if you know the site.
hint,hint...
