Gofballs or screwballs?! you two are both goofs. Looks like fun though. enjoyed the footage. Wished I'd have had more time so I could have come along.

Great report and photos! Deception Pass is definitely on my bucket list. Could you tell what kind of fish that anemone was digesting? Ross All of the visible identifiers were gone. based on body shape & length I would have to guess Ling cod but that just seems absurd to me. :burntchef: I cant e...

I'm sure everyone has seen Blaiz's report & I am far too tired to make even a feable attempt to rival her eloquence so I will leave you with a brief recap & some photo's.Blaiz, I was sorry to hear that you did not shoot any pic's. They would have been enjoyed. By the way, stopping at the 1st...

I've been following the Deception Pass theads with interest and even shot my mouth off that the "Season" for diving the pass was over. Obviously not. Sounds like you guys got a great dive! I've always done this dive when the max flood before slack was about 3 knots or less. This one was 4...

Thanks for the info Jan. I'm hoping this will ease the backup when I go over to visit Rich. Hope I'm not on the boat when they have an accident. Any idea if the rate will increase?

What Fritz said is helpfull. You dont have to "become" a solo diver, you should just be capable of doing so if the need arises. Self sufficiency is important for you & your buddy. If you cant save yourself, you wont be much help for anyone else. Noone here is condoning solo diving &...

Nice shots! I'm not missing your camera Bric! i almost flooded the damn thing though. I stuck it in my housing instead of yours & took on a tiny bit of water on a 2nd dive after being long & deep on dive 1. Scared the hell out of me. Camera was ok though. Doing seal work & test diving on...

I was informed last night that I am too stupid to understand a tide &/or a current chart so I will preface this by saying this info was provided to me by supercooper prior to his departure from our area. Perhaps that will lend it more clout. I am afterall just a stupid man. Ahem, "According...

Thanks kathy. I feel better now.

Another nice report. You go girl!

No pics... = dint happen You just enjoy heckling me don't you?! Eat this light master! tdock10102010 053-1.jpg tdock10102010 054.jpg tdock10102010 055.jpg tdock10102010 056.jpg :bootyshake: I didnt post them cuz they kinda suck with the water running off the lense of my housing. But it did happen. ...

We found a baby seal abandoned at Tdock sunday morning. Before our dives were done there were volunteers from Noah putting up signs & caution tape to block the area & they were settling in in lawn chairs to stand guard. Does anyone know if the little fellows mom came back. I thought I'd see ...

rad, like you I spent most of my childhood on the north of the island. this is one of my dives to do when I get to the skill level to do it! Deception Pass is not a challenging dive at all if done at the right time. Intimidating the first time perhaps, but if you've dealt with some water movement i...

Looks like a cool experience.

Very funny but sad at the same time.

Looks like someone had a very nice weekend of diving. Nice footage. The octo at the end gets my vote for the worst swimming octopi I have ever seen. They usually glide across the bottom & somehow never rustle up a grain of sand. That guy left no stone unturned. I had a momentary lapse of open wa...

Not chris but I will answer for him. The park is supposed to be closed in october but they decided to stay open till nov 1. I believe they reopen in march.

Whatever-coulda done that dive with a couple spare-airs & a warm beer! 2 weeks! Bring a bigger tank!

I can't help but laugh at you dude! I'm thinkin' thats a good thing. IMHO the dive actually started really mild. In fact, we splashed 26minutes before slack(sposed to be 30 but someone has to burp his housing :smt064 )& I think we could have done it another 20 minutes earlier. We kind of landed ...

Hoo-rah! Skyline rocks! You just got get in & hunker down. It either goes perfect or it all goes wrong but it's always a good dive. I'm starting to wonder about you kid, do you ever not dive???
MJ

Well done report. Nice pics too. your gonna be a contender.
MJ

Curleys air is not O2 clean & you will NOT get a full fill. Just accept it now. Also he will not smile at you & has no desire to carry on a conversation unless of course you also have the personality of a doorknob. he was nothing short of rude to us on our recent trip. he is unfortunately al...

Right on Tom, I thought you stopped having those things. Hope you have a vistastic Bday. Squeeze an extra dive in for me.
MJ

Okay so dive 3 was the icing on the cake. Aaron & I had both taken I-5 south on friday to get here & got caught in horrible weather & traffic. I made the comment that I had better see an octo full out in the open after that drive. I had seen a couple small ones & a squid but nothing ...

HAHA!! Hey Michael, just to clear things up - I was off to find a YELLOWEYE, not a YellowTAIL. :partydance: I love how Blacks, Blues and Yellowtails all hang together. You gotta have a sharp eye to pick them out sometimes - and you did nicely. Nice Canary! Was that at Waadah island? And I love my l...
