Finally Made It!

Post by Echo »

I know some of you already, but for those that I don't, I'm H20Doctor's girlfriend: Erika, and just picked up diving too. I'm thrilled with this new sport. I've always been an avid Puget Sound junkie (well, any body of water really). I've fished nearly every inch of it and have a beach house (that we just renovated) just south of Keystone on Lagoon Point. I'm excited to get better and graduate from a dying fish-floping stroke to being a productive member of the diving community and looking forward to diving with some of you in the future :)

I probably wont be posting much here. Forums are scary political places. But that doesn't mean I wont be a forum ghost checking to see what's going on.

She wants to see this guy underwater, mimicking a gorilla, pounding on the sea floor, silting the hell out of it.

I'm just looking forward to seeing the stuff I could never see from a boat. I, at some point, want to dive some of our old fishing holes, unfortunately most are only accessible by boat. I know what kind of game fish are in these areas and want to see them without a hook.

Welcome Echo.
What is this thing? We should catch it and sell it on the black market.

welcome Echo, The world is about to get a whole lot bigger and even more interesting. Soon fishing will no longer hold the interest it once did cause now you can swim with the fishes and see the world from their point of view.

Well, I do want to see the grey whales feasting on the shrimp this Spring. I think it's an above-water activity. They should be in about April out of Everett and Hat Island.

I also thought he was a real doctor when I first met him. That's why he's not allowed back in Alaska......
