Posted: Sat May 14, 2016 8:17 pm
So your invited to go Diving , and thats great, its always Nice to be invited out on a dive...right ? it was going to be a Great Dive , i mean who doesn't want to experience salt creek ... well that was the case for today , But there was 1 slight big problem with this great dive trip ... A 5 am Ferry .. that would mean Id Have to get up at 4 am ... Um , Not going to happen ... I love my sleep , and Im Not a morning person , I dont do mornings , I will get up early for a dive , If the dive Is worth it , I will sacrifice my sleep for a great dive .. But this trip was 5 am, and a 3 Hour drive and a 9 am splash ... Nope.. so what do I do ? I steal someone who was going , and talk them outta going to dive with me ... HA HA HA HA , i plotted my victim carefully and stole ScubaJess ...Mwaaa Haaa Haaa
so Now That we could Both sleep In and dive at Noon I opted for alki Pipeline.. this was a first for me as ive never been here, i picked it for 2 reasons, I get to sleep In ( big Bonus) and its not a ferry ride , and its only a Hr away, easy Parking , no crowds and there should be tons of Macro to see... we both arrived at 11am parked our cars and talked to 3 other divers who had just gotten out and ended the dive .. great !! talk to them and they are just going mad crazy about what they saw , lots of Nudis , blah..blah.. blah.. AND the one girl has a Dive map of the site ..cool study it , look at it , get the compass Heading .. really excited to get in this place and see it ..
Get in the water and drop ... 7 feet ..swim..swim.. 8 feet.. where are the rocks? hmmmmm..swim.. swim... No rocks.. Now today we got more than our share of the eel Grass world Tour ..LOL , I mean i saw more eel grass Here than ive ever seen ... there were patches of little islands of eel grass then sand then more eel grass.. it was grassy Here... 2nd , there are Massive Lewis Moon snails here, and they are everywhere and i love the way they Plow through sand.. its like a snow Plow in the mountains moving snow , except the snails do it with sand ... Just a Nice slow pace underwater plowing away... Ok so we are still swimming and looking , for rocks , so we Pop up to the surface and re take a game plan... same thing again ..swim for another 22 Mins no pipe , no rocks , just sand and eel grass... 3 rd Plan swim south on the surface until I see rocks .... WINNER WINNER chicken dinner , rocks Finally we have arrived , but Now we have both been in the water for a good Hour , and I still have 2200 pounds of air..but thats because we both never broke 13 feet ..HA HA HA .... So we hit the rocks , and see a couple of Nudis , finally .. Geesh , we found a sunflower starfish, a purple starfish...we got Buzzed By a seal .. I found a super tiny white Nudi.. and then I got cold .. we never reached the 30 feet part of the alki Pipe line , and I didnt get my shot of a alabaster Nudi .. But we did have a fun dive , and we did do the eel grass world tour !! and we did eat good food after wards... And we Both got to sleep in on a saturday ....![:sleep: :sleep:](./images/smilies/sleep.gif)
