Northwest Dive Club

Anyone interested in heading to Edmonds this weekend? (20MAY23), looking for a dive buddy, just over 20+ dives, Rescue certified, and cold water experienced.

Saturday doesn't look like a really great day of diving EUP. Currents would be "slack" around 2, but that's a big exchange, and you'd be diving on a negative tide (really low), so you are going to be walking a long ways...

Yeah one thing about PNW diving is learning our tides. We have some large water exchanges at times (12 feet) and this causes currents, especially in shallower dive spots. So it can make even mellow dive sites like Edmonds pretty busy in terms of current. A later dive that day (8pmish) would be a little more friendly current-wise. However then you are looking at a later day. Hang in there, you will get it all figured out. There are lots of people on here more than willing to hook you up with info.

Hi
Not only a long walk but also a muddy one on a fragile eel grass bed. Advise not to do it mid day.

Viz reports at Edmonds have also been quite bad lately. You may want to wait a while as you won't be able to go deeper to avoid a surface layer at Edmonds.

Tides are terrible this weekend!

I heard someone mention sund rock, that might be a better choice, but you'll have to make reservations.

You could also join us redondo Thursday night if that's of interest. Can't guarantee good viz but we can try and the tide will be much higher.

Thanks for all this good info! I will keep a look out, would love to join you for those Thursday night dives eventually hopefully one of these weeks works out.
