Post by diverden »

Anyone planning on diving in the PM? My gills have dried out and need a good soaking.

The first dive is around 4:00 and the second one around 6:30. I'm planning to be there too hopefully for both.

Awesome. As Vlad pointed out Dive 1 is a 4L00 splash, dive 2 is around a 6:30 splash if there are people wanting to do a second dive.

Dude, that's what MMM is all about! Think of it like a mini (very mini) club dive.

Vlad. Thanks for posting the times... they sound familiar. I guess I was too lazy to look it up ;-) I'll be there and ready to splash at 4.

You're welcome to join us Emily, we have at least one other very new diver who will be with us.

If I can get my new webbing threaded through my backplate, and move all my gear into my car soon, then I can probably make it for dive #2

EDIT: confirmed coming for dive 2

Viz: the deeper the better. 25ft+ at 120, on the way up 15ft-ish, the bottom of the geodome was still ok to 70ish. Top of Geodome was maybe 10ft and progressively getting worse to zero at the surface.

TONS of crab and the usual ample rockfish & gobies. 2 juvie wolfies, a small octo, and a grunt.

We said hi to the man for yalls.

I would love to do a dive profile like that one again some time. I like being at the Geodome 50 minutes into the dive and being able to hang out for a while there. Plus, its just fun to weave yourself in and around the geodome! Nice buoyancy/trim/kick practice.

Did any one loose fin, mask and snorkel? I don't want to disappoint you but they are now part of a habitat.

Ok, some weird shift must have occurred in the sound between dive 1 and dive 2, because there's no way those pictures came from the same dive site I was at for dive 1.

Amazing pictures Vlad!

I concur. With the viz we had at the Dome, those are stellar pics. Then again, as you go deeper, the viz really opened up. Cool! Bottom line is, Vlad, you do take very good pics.
