Hey Dave it was great to meet you, had a great time and the diving was awsome. Hope you have a great time tomorrow on the charter boat. Lets do it again in a few:breakdance:

How was the diving down there??

It was the first time I dove the fingers. I think vis was probably typical 5-6 ft. Dove the 4th finger, macro life was pretty slim, but the normal stars and anenomes were there. Saw one ling about 2 ft and several small perch, greenling, and rocks.
Max depth 27 fsw, 55 degrees.

Hey Stan, good to meet you too. Tell Captain Marie thanks again. There definately is a low O2 event going on in Hood Canal right now which would explain the condition of all the critters we saw. There's a thread on it in the "General Scuba Discussion" section if you haven't seen it already. The charter went fairly well. Had a mask strap issue and a dump valve issue but go to see Waterman's Wall as we flew by in the current and Alki Reef. Alki Reef would be the perfect candidate for your Zodiac er, I mean Avon . It was one of the best sites I have been to yet! Let me know of any plans for November.
I also have to make it down to Newport this winter now that I know it is fairly unaffected by the swell and general nastiness of the ocean in Winter.
