Port Hardy/ Browning Pass Hideaway

[Maverick]

OMG!!!!!
Great report! Great pictures!I've missed some good trips due mostly to not getting the time off and then not having enough scuba units at the specified date. I just didn't understand what I missed, untill now! I will definatly try to get down to the Expo and visit booth #90 and meet John. If I don't get there, I will get info from Tom-Nic and we will plan from there. This dive has been added to the "Bucket List"

Bucket List for 2008{short version}
1.Nitrox Cert
2.Wreck Cert
3.Bonaire
4.Port Hardy/Browning Pass

Don't let 'em push you around Keith!

Bonaire is awesome! Something about 80 degree water to go with your 100' viz!

Hey, I know, we'll just have to do both!!

[Maverick]

[Maverick]

Bonaire Port Hardy Hideaway ... "MUST DIVE BOTH!!!"

[Cuppie]

But Keith, if you dive port hardy first then when you guys go to Bonaire you will feel like you just wasted money and should have just spent more time in port hardy. so that being said, you should just scratch bonaire!!

Wow! Port Hardy Hidaway must have been, "That good!" This is the most comments I've seen from Cuppie in a long time!

[Maverick]

Dah!! that's what we've been trying to tell you dude. you missed out dude BJ

[BASSMAN]

Dah!! that's what we've been trying to tell you dude. you missed out dude BJ

Okay, I'm convinced!

Don't give in to the dark side Keith! You're letting them push you around!

I have the perfect solution! We'll do Bonaire FIRST so you won't be disappointed, THEN do Port Hardy!

(Besides, Pt. Hardy DOES NOT have wild donkeys and flamingos! You can see eagles and bears anytime, but how often do you get a wild ass in your car?!? --oh wait, scratch that question...)

"A wild ass?!" We had THREE wild asses in our truck!!

I've still yet to put that video on YouTube... will do it very soon. I haven't laughed that hard in a VERY long time!!

Nailer is reduced to the "Blue Screen of Death." His head exploded; he is no more. We mourn his loss.

[Maverick]

I get his meg

[Sounder]

I get his meg

Priceless.

Looks like the mourning is over, so the division of gear is next. Mav called the Meg. Can I have the van?

[Maverick]

[Joshua Smith]

My will states quite clearly that I will be placed in the van, wearing the Meg, and dropped into the sound anywhere the depth exceeds 900 fsw. Come and get them if you can, gentlemen.

[Maverick]

Sounder you can have it then, i am certified to dive that deep yet

[Tangfish]

Wow. What a trip report Nailer, and those photos are simply amazing, John.

I've definitely added this to the list of places I'd like to dive one day (word of advice Nailer, the list isn't finite, so you can add places without subtracting others).
