Northwest Dive Club

Hi, Kriss!

The site that you call "Hooded Nudi Bay" was actually called Hussar Point.

The wreck was the 270 foot long SS Themis, which went down in December, 1906, after striking Crocker Rock during a severe storm.

Kriss - I don't remember doing 3 dives on Sunday but maybe someone else can confirm? We counted a total of 16 dives but couldn't tell you where most were. It was all a blur - eat, sleep, dive, repeat!!! It was awesome.
I have 2 dives on Sunday, 3 dives on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, then 2 more on Friday.

kathy that makes more sense. i know i missed the first night dive (seven tree), then was too tired for second one (which everyone said sucked anyway) but thought i hit the third and fourth night dives. if there wasnt one on sunday that would shift the schedule to match what i was sort of thinking

I thought we did an afternoon and a night dive on Sunday?

Thanks to everyone for making this trip such a blast. It was a pleasure diving with Northwest Dive Club.

Here's few of my macro shots .

Great to see you here Robert! Beautiful pictures!

Man, I'm so envious ... truly wish I could've been on the trip. Then again, with my track record up there if I'd gone along, it probably would've snowed or something.

Sucks about your camera, John ... especially on THAT trip. But the bright side is that you know you WILL be going back. And hopefully I'll be going with you next time ...

Welcome Robert ! Good to see you on here. We had agreat time meeting and diving with you and Derrick (sp?) along with everyone else.
Hope to see more of your photo's - they're awsome! Really nice perspective. Keep posting your trip reports and picture's so we can stay in touch. It's nice to hear from BC divers.
Tell Derrick hello and maybe we'll be able get together and do a dive again soon.
ps If any of the pics of Kathy up at Nakwakto turned out - could you send them to me in a private message? I'd really appreciate it. I dont have any of her wearing the condomhead hood!

i couldnt tell you what kind of camera he has, but i can assure you that i was moseying along on a night dive, and it seemed like the sun was rising behind me as robert swam closer...

Thanks for the warm welcome.
Looking forward to do more diving with NWDC.

Hello, Robert! It's great to see you here on NWDC. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and Derek up at the Hideaway! What a trip, eh?

Hi John,

I borrowed your words for my Browning Pass Trip Report, "the best cold-water diving in the known universe!"

Thanks again for setting up this awesome trip! Be sure to let us know when you get your new camera and housing. I'll be looking forward to some awesome photos.

This seems to be a corollary of Murrphy Law; When the camera is unavailable great things will be seen. Many years ago I was on the Island of Hawaii when the volcano erupted into a 800 foot tall incandescent jet of lava. None of us had a camera with us. Still, I got to see it and so did you.

WOW! Do any of you guys take lousy photos??? Those are all spectacular, every one.

John, how disappointing for you. That must have been a dreadful feeling. (and then add the hip woes in too). At least you were with great company and in a beautiful spot!

- Janna

Awesome shots there Rob. You can't beat a quality SLR for great photos

Hello, John. I have been on many dive trips, without hesitation , Hideaway trip was the best.


Thanks
Robert

I agree! I've pretty much given up warm water diving - the color and variety can be found right here in the Northwest....and it's always an ADVENTURE! Just wait....I'll drag you guys over to Nootka Sound or up to Prince Rupert next!!!

- John

any time John, I'll be ready
Robert

Robert, your photos are terrific!!

and you couldn't have done a better job on the pics of me? lol. I think the problem was the model

John: Flooded your housing????
I sure can "feel your pain".... I was at the Browining Pass Hide a Way in September, and on the 3rd dive of my 5-1/2 day trip I flooded my housing too, and ruined a video camera. Fortunately, I had a "backup" camera which saved the trip.

I feel your pain..

Oh, man! That's just as terrible as my flood! Sounds like the Fall has been a bad time for housings in the Pass!

ANNOUNCEMENT: I just picked up my new Nikon D7000!!!!!!

That's awesome, John!
