I am working the next few days...
What are your skills? Where are you from? What are you wanting to do?
If you give us some more info/ background perhaps we can find a dive for you.

I am from Idaho I am used to diving very low vis areas I have about 200 dives I dive for search and rescue and do a bit of underwater construction work I am advanced diver. I really just want to get out and see some ocean wildlife all I get to dive at home is fresh water. And with a few exceptions the vis is 5 to 10 feet max. So anything here would be great.

I am available Friday. Could do a dive in the morning. Will need to see what the wind is doing, but Redondo is a great place to see some ocean life. I would probably bring a camera. Where in Seattle are you located?

Good location. I am in NW Seattle, about a half mile from Shoreline. North wind predicted, Redondo would likely work. Edmonds would probably be choppy. Moderate exchange, mid to late AM looks like a good time to splash. Could probably carpool.

You might be able to join us Sunday. Not sure where yet (if at all) as I'm watching the wind/weather

Weather is looking good for tomorrow. Edmonds may be doable too. Edmonds has large ling cod and cabezon, should have nudi's too. More likely to see octos at Redondo. PM me your contact information.
