Funny you should ask this... as I just asked Norris this over the weekend.
I would love to come up and dive. Is Feb the 'usually' time of year?

Re: SITKA 2013 - LET'S POST HERE
the resurrection of an old thread ... HA HA HA i love it , i saw this today and i was like ... What ? were going .. so soon .. To answer Kneedeep , I feel after going up there 3x now , that the best time is in march.. Jan is super cold with water temp in the high 38 deg zone.. and the weather didnt co-operate last year with winds and swells.. But that doesnt mean you cant dive the inner protected sites there in sitka.. I saw way more life going on there when we went in March vrs Jan.. you would really want to go in the summer , but my sched doesnt allow it .. i have to travel in the winter..

Re: SITKA 2013 - LET'S POST HERE
Winter time is the best time for good viz. Similar to what you get in Washington. Right now the water is pretty clear, I'd say around 40 - 50 ft. of viz in most places. Of course, we also have less light, so you have to take that into consideration.
I would concur that February and March are the best dive months for Sitka. March would likely be best, but I wouldn't procrstinate too much becuase if you come up too close to Herring spawning, then you'll have almost no viz at all. Most years, the spawn occurs around the last week of March, but sometimes a little later, sometimes a little earlier.
Keep us posted on any travel times. I look forward to seeing everyone again.
And don't forget: I live ONE (1) BLOCK FROM THE BREWERY!!!! Ha Ha

I've done two July trips and those are the BEST. The only issue I had was last year and getting home with the flight voucher I was using. When the planes are full, you are stuck! Lots of fishing charters in the summer. I saw so many people walking around with poles.

I like the part where you kick mud in Keith's face!! Perfect sentiment for Christmas Eve.
