Celebrating Dive 100

Post by Jeff Pack »

Was hoping to hit 100# With Matt (mateo1147) and some GUE friends @keystone, but the diving gods smote us with current from hell, and we had to call early #99, and that was it for the day.

The plan was to do Pt Hudson with the Marker Buoys, but I wasn't digg'n another 4 hour round trip back up that way again.

As I pondering this sunday morning, and how I'd go diving, some friends from vancouver posted they were hitting Redondo shortly, so I responded, and we hooked up at Redondo for dives #100 and #101. Even more fortunate, Pat is a photog, so snapped 2 of me for dive 100. Dive 101 was even better at 1h7m.

Thx Pat for the pics!

Rebreather, scooters, backplates and wings! That might be the most decked out diver celebrating 100 I have ever seen. I still had borrowed gear, a wetsuit, and an alum 80 :) congrats Mr. Pack.

You do know you were supposed to do it naked, right?

Congrats! It's probably a greater achievement, to hit 1200 posts in less than a year without getting banned for life! :rofl:

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to do it naked. :partydance:
My excuse for not, was that I was in Queensland and didn't want a box jelly up in my business.

:angelblue: I think people were just quickly reading through and said, "What? What did she say? Did she say 'naked'? Nah...."

Sorry, I was a bit disconnected out in Neah Bay, which rocked by the way!
Check your current tables for Admiralty inlet and the next time you see an ebb tide current of 5 or more knots we are on for the driftwood to keystone dive. Odds are it won't be until the next batch of spring tides. The other way to tell is that if they have to cancel the Keystone to Port Townsend ferry there should be some great current. :supz:

If I hadn't been on a boat with 9 other people I didn't know THAT good I would have had a buck naked hundredth in Bonaire. Oh well, there is always 200 in Cozumel...........
