Always was a "butt" man. guess that proves it.

This is for Janna 'cause she'd rather go look for these than hang with her Level 5 padiwans. This is what I saw from a distance: sundrock9182010 236.jpg So I swam a little closer.... do you see it yet? sundrock9182010 238.jpg How bout now? sundrock9182010 239.jpg Pretty sneaky hanging out with the b...

I have these shots in another post but it may not be seen and answered so I'm posting a seperate thread here where all the brainy folks hang out. This one is a worm type thing-138' deep at the base of a small wall. nest appears cocoonish sundrock9182010 065.jpg This little guy was maybe 110' deep &a...

The board messed up my buddy shot & text & scrambled them. The buddy shot is obviously at the end. Its right in the draft but not the final print. Go figure!

OK so I'm back to do some more here. One of these days I'm gonna quit this work stuff & just dive & tell fish stories. Thanks for the link Rich. That was definitely the same fish. I'm thumbing my nose at all the people that tell me theres nothing to see deep. Apparently just species most of ...

One of our newest & arguably friendliest dive shops in town, Evergreen Dive Services put together a trip package for the yellow House down in Hoodsport & though I normally have an aversion to crowds, most especially underwater, I managed to trick my wife into letting me partake for the weeke...

Stanwood. I'd like to do more north end diving than I do. the traffic is way better & the beaches in general seem less crowded. I have hit the well known spots but would love to find some of the local secrets in that area. I promise not to post if warned in advance.

Good eye! Very cool. most people would have finned right over that one.

welcome to the board / club! Yes, you will find no shortage of deep divers around here, we are a pretty good bowl of mixed nuts here! I generally stay above 100', but there are quite a few Narcosis Junkies around here too! Hey, I resemble that remark! Whats wrong with Narcosis? At my age I'd look p...

oops-forgot to comment on the wolfie habitat-totall loss there & they made a big mess. I think in the short term I might try to pile the bricks up in a manner that does not resemble something that looks like a bomb went off. I need daylight for that.
Like Arnold said, "I'll be back"

As was already stated, the damage wasnt as bad as we were told. Looks like many of the zip ties were cut & the dome rolled & folded. It is semi supported now but has a broken/folded leg. Short term plans are to eliminate the zip tie connections. Thought needs to be given to the marine life t...

I had plans for a deepwater run out there tonight. They are now on hold. I will be there with a buddy at roughly 7:30 with some rope & we will try to do some damage control. My biggest concern is new student divers getting wrapped up in the debri. We did not plan for this so we will do the best ...

Thanks Jan for the info page. I suspected something along those lines. FYI I may have a connection to get us access in wintertime when the gates are closed. I have a name/number to work with. Will keep you posted. I really ned to get up there some day. It sounds like a great dive. I'm trying to put ...

Nice pics and report. Pic 035 really captures that Neah Bay feeling. Were you diving Sekiu Jetty from shore? Sekiu Jetty was done from shore. There are 2 possible entrances. 1 is off the right which is a rickety ramp that requires you paying attention to your foot placement & the other is far l...

Well the only way I could bare to follow up Neah Bay would be a dive like Skyline or Deception Pass. As it happened, The currents for the pass were marginal but doable. I sent out some heads up on this but I was the loan diver for the day although there were more than enough fisherman to make up for...

Well I intended to get all my editing done each night, do my surveys, & post a report but things dont always play out the way we plan. Days 3 & 4 both ended with bonus dives at Sekiu Jetty which I can tell you now that the trip is over was a better dive than anything we did friday. Grain of ...

You need dub's for the oriskany you air sucking hog. You just want to make this a "I went on a better dive than you war dont you?"
It's not a fair fight. i dont have any friends. Dont poop in my icecream.

Another beautifull day. I heard someone say something about bad weather here. Not happening today... neahbayday2 014.jpg The anemones here are incredible. I've got to find out what they feed them. neahbayday2 035.jpg This big boy was so still, I almost rubbed noses with him & almost soiled my su...

We got allot of "I didnt bring any extra tanks" & other excuses so we wont get to do Duncan rock. Today we did one called Jannas joy & Slant Rock. yesterday was Mushroom rock & south tatoosh. Thats as Tattoo as I want to get. Old people attracted to each other, tattoos, Where y...

For any of my 1 or 2 friends, the weather is crappy, the vis sucks, & you dont want to be here. Dont even bother looking at the rest of this report. Those of you that dont like me anyway....keep reading & neener neener. neahbayday1 039.jpg The quality isnt here with my new camera but I'm try...

Nice job guys. I look forward to getting back soon. I also look forward to getting back into an SD990. The flash on the 940 is makin me nuts. checkout my post on the trip,
MJ

Happy B-day Rich. I saw a write-up on your favorite haunt in Northwest Dive news. I hope that doesnt pack the beaches when the weather finally cools down. Looking forward to getting back up there to dive with you. I'm gonna have to drive right by on my way to Neah Bay next week & it will take so...

Some of you may remember my post regarding some camera difficulties I was having & per recomendations from the board & sent my camera into Canon for repair(SD990). They informed me it was not repairable do to water damage which I have a hard time with since it was never flooded. I really lik...

Be Carefull around the dish. There was a minor malfunction in its repositioning & the structure showed its age & split apart. It is resting back on the ground but I do not advise poking any heads to far in the openings. Repair options are being considered.
