Day Island Still Rules

Post by Diver_C »

RSDancey and I had a great 53 minute dive on The Wall this morning. Perfect drift dive both there, north-south on the wall, and on the return. Still lots of Wolf Eels hanging out greeting divers. Think I recognized some from Tuesday's dive. Octos still not around. Only four total divers on The Wall today, although, we did not see the other two during the dive. I love that place. Tuesday's pics up on Flickr. Will have today's up Sunday.

Ooop, gotta get to St. Paddy's Day lunch. Have a great weekend everybody!

This is >the site< for Wolfies, in my opinion. I've seen more here than in any other site I've dived in the PNW. Today's cluster were just north of the entry area, in 50fsw (4), and 2 in 66fsw directly off the entry area.

Yes. The charters run boat trips to it, and it's also divable from shore. The issues with shore diving are:

1. Current. Dives must be timed to catch the slack.
2. Neighbors. The entry is in the midst of a small residential area, so it's imperative to maintain the best possible relationship with the locals.

Just for the record, I agree with DiverC - this site rules.
