Special shoututs: Penelope, cant express enough gratitude for hauling me and my gear today and making this whole thing possible!! Tangfish, thanks for the water bottle and stickers! Scubie Doo, I cant express enough gratitude for the weights man, and for saving my dives with the DIN insert! Clay, thanks for buddying up with the "FNG" today! I havent met a more awesome group of people in my life than the divers Ive met, no contest. And thanks to all for making a guy feel welcome.

P.S.: Congrats to Jess on 100 dives!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Fantastic shot!

Very unusual - wide angle, clouds of Rockfish, love the position of the diver - wonderful!

Eric, that's beautiful!

What a great day on the canal! Sunshine, rainbows, 40+' vis, bacon jam, and cloud sponges were just a few of the highlights of the day. Much thanks to Penelopypants for all her efforts that resulted in such a fun event.

Here's a few more underwater shots.
And one more for ScubaJess - congrats on #100!

Thanks MPenders! Great shots! I love that little guy! He's adorable!
It's always great to dive with you guys!
It was just like Thursday night.... But not! Lol

This is a Masterpeice! I can't belive that's me! I look super cool! thanks for capturing this moment! I love to be one with the Rockfish!

I can't believe y'all saw a skate! I'm so envious.

Great pics everyone, lots of talent on the board :-) Here are a few of my favorites from the day.


Resident wolf eel located in a pipe on the north side of the wreck. I have pics of this wolf eel from 18 months ago, when it was smaller and orange.


Dinner time!


Just a crab, but I love the rust color of these crabs.


Mike and I saw several of these stubby squid eggs. One of these days, I'm going to see one hatch :-)


Cool looking spaghetti tube worm.


Warbonnet in the cloud sponges. Same one Mr. gdog photographed :-)

Have a great week out there, and great seeing everyone this weekend.

Great pics!

No, where is that critter hiding?

Wow, what awesome photos everyone! I guess you can all thank me for all the great critters out since I left my camera at home.


What an awesome time. I already am looking forward to the next Club Dive- which by the way would be an appropriate time to celebrate our 10 year anniversary of NWDC!
