Northwest Dive Club

Hi I went diving at three tree Friday, Saturday and Monday night, all at high tide. It was interesting to see the change in the site over those days. Friday -- decent viz at depth, horrible viz in the shallows, not many jelly fish around at all Saturday -- lots of jellies. In the shallows I felt lik...

Hi I've got a bunch of free time and am looking to do some dives today thru monday, if anybody else wouldn't mind having me along or is looking for a dive buddy. Tonight and Friday - dive any time after work (redondo-muk) Weekend -- any time, any place in the sound Monday night (redondo-muk) I'd lik...

Great diving with you and great pics, eliseaboo. Wow, that was a big shimp riding a jelly. Usually you only see the very tiny shrimp riding the jellies!

Thanks to Keith for hosting another excellent gathering... Here are some pics. We also so a nice big sea pen, which was a nice surprise, however, it was so murky where we found it my camera was unable to focus on it! :) Viz below was quite nice, however!

Hopefully I can make it too. Got to see how busy work is though. I also work in Bellevue if anybody else would like to try to carpool from that general area.

Thanks to Bassman for hosting another great get-together at TTN!


Here were some of my photos of the event:

Nice report and pics! You're right, that is a cool purple pattern on that star....

I've only dove the bridge once, but really liked it. Like you, we didn't see many fish either, but lots of other nice stuff.

I'd love to go back some time!

Hi
We did 6 dives total. Strawberry Island, north side of Shaw, Davidson Rock, and Long island (backside) were the general areas.

Hi Yes, same setup: Nikon d70 with Ikelite housing and dual strobes. There were quite a few puget sound king crabs around. I was more surprised by lack of candy stripe shrimp -- we only found one despite lots of snakelock anemones. I got to try some new-to-me sites on this trip, including Davidson R...

Hi Had a great trip to the San Juans this weekend. Viz was actually pretty good! Here are some of the shots!

Hi! Glad you like the photos.
Yes, it is a plainfin midshipman! I love those guys!

Great pictures and great finds Jesse!

Thanks for the great dive guys!

Hi!
Mind if I join you guys? For me it would likely be the second dive only.
What's on the south side of the boat ramp, I don't know that site super well.

Great seeing everybody. Great pics!
Thanks for the fun dive!

Nice pic showing them off with the crab. Where about? One the wall? N/S, Depth? Just curious. Hi They were found along the top edge of the wall, just a bit south from the cutout on the wall perpendicular from the shore entrance. Where there's the small ledge that runs parallel just above the main w...

Hi. I found these nipple sponges at Day Island this morning, I thought they were pretty cool. I didn't know they had nipple sponges in these parts, but maybe I missed them!

Hi!
Thanks for the responses.

I think I'll join WWW tomorrow (wed) night! Sounds fun! Thanks for the invite!

Anybody up for a camera-friendly dive thrusday and/or fri night at redondo or 3tree? (currents allowing)

Hi! I'm looking for night dive buddies to go diving w-f jan 4-6. I'm interested in photography diving, but up for anything between Tacoma and Everett. I also have a scooter and rebreather if extended range is your thing, but I try to pair well with anyone. I'm mostly just interested in getting wet a...

Sure enough, it is in NW Shore Dives! Thanks for the tip, I didn't remember even hearing about this site before.

Any other info on the site or critter collection appreciated!

Hi My kids' marine life class is having a field trip to Richmond Beach next week to do some beach combing. A buddy and I are thinking of going on a dive to bring up some critters for the class to see. Does anybody know anything about diving Richmond Beach Park? It looks like a long walk to the beach...

Ah, you guys are right! Thanks for the id!

Hi All
I came across these interesting guys this weekend in the SJI's. I haven't seen these before, and I couldn't find them in my id books. Any ideas?

Hey James Good to meet you and great to dive with you! Nice dive report. I also really liked to see all the little Plainfin Midshipman out there too. Thanks for helping me sort out the issues before the dive :) I'm coveting your camera in response. Great sailfin sculpin pic! Wow! Probably the best I...

Has anybody looked for this?

Hi I've heard from many that edmonds oil dock is no more, and the site is now desolate. Yet I heard from somebody else that the pilings are still there, just cut below the surface? (although near the surface was of course the best part of the site). Can somebody confirm? If nothing else, it seems li...
