Re: Major Changes for Point Hudson
HudsonJettyReplacement.png On my way out of the water back in Jan 2021, I stopped to talk with one of the local Port Commissioners who happens to be a diver. Attached is an email I sent regarding the replacement. Point is, I'm not sure if this helped but I don't think it hurt. I dove the new reef f...

Re: Hypothetical Question (sorta): What do you do if you find a firearm while diving?
Cool topic. A year ago while diving Point Hudson, I came across a hinge action shortened barrel 20 gauge shotgun with a modified stock. I made a short video to document the location (guessing it was thrown off the NW Maritime Center dock), made sure it was safe and headed to the beach with it. Befor...

Re: The time has come
Rich, although we never dove as buddy's, but have official dove together (signaled OK to each other underwater), I will miss your reports. I will never, ever, ever forget Point Hundson and the Mola Mola which is permanently embedded in my brain. And, I will not forget when we talked on the surface a...

Re: Fin/foot problem(s)
Synthetic Socks = Bingo!
Speaking from experience, with that much diving in a short period, add the synthetic socks and don't change anything else and your problem will go away and you will be a happy tropical diver.

Re: Another week another gruesome find
As someone who does have a bit of background in law enforcement, I still disagree. The authorities are likely not going to pay any mind to the report and human cremains found underwater are not an indication of a crime, other than littering on DNR land. But, I'm ok with disagreeing - it's not perso...
