2 words: "SUND ROCK" Hood canal is the easiest access from Oregon for some terrific diving. Bypassing the less that stellar Seattle traffic. Sunrise Motel, Sund Rock, and Octopus hole are all within about 4 miles of each other, all are great dive sites. We were there last weekend, vis at the...

Here is the State of Washington crab info: Recreational Crab Fishing | Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife There are no specific diver related regulations. Just general size and take limits. Depending on where you are diving, look for clams and oysters to add to your feast. As for me, now...

Jim, normally I read your posts with a great amount of respect for your knowledge of diving. In this case, you ain't from around here, mind you own damn business.

I'm on track to hit 50 in my first year after my OW cert.

You'll have a great time with Shaka Doug. My son & I dove 5 graves with him last July, and had a blast. We did a trip to the Monolith and 1st Cathedral at Lanai with Extended Horizons, and can't think of a single thing I would change to make the trip any more perfect. Most of our dives there...

For a boat dive, I would highly recomend Extended Horizons. We dove the Monolith & 1st cathedral with them, I couldn't imagine how the trip could have been improved upon. Its not a cattle boat, they offer larger tanks, and you dive your own air. For guided shore dives, Shaka Doug is pretty hard...

Mala is a great dive site. The entry can be a little schetchy. The south side entry is a looong walk out on shallow dead coral, followed by slipping into shallow live coral, not good. The boat ramp is an easy entry, but is illegal, also not a great choice. We found walking out the jetty about...

We fly out for Maui in the morning, and I'm wondering, what are your recomended or must-do dives on the Island? We're staying in Ka'anapali, but will be diving both West & South Maui. We will have 4 1/2 days of shore diving, and one trip to Lanai with Extended Horizons. So with our limited time...

I'm glad to here that you are getting out & logging some more bottom time. As TSandM said some of your buoyancy and weighting issues are likely more of a trim issue. Have your buddy watch you & give you some feedback to help make some adjustments to your weight, and tank placement. It took me...

Hell Yea! I GOT TO HAVE ME ONE OF THESE!!!

Too bad you could'nt make the dive. The Knot is on my bucket list. I'm hoping to do it on my 100th dive. Good Luck next time.

We (whole family) will be on Maui from the 17th to the 24th. My son & I have a trip to Lanai booked on Friday the 20th. If I can get hooked up with Shaka Doug we will be diving South Maui either Thursday, or on the weekend. We will be staying in Ka'anapali & plan on shore diving every day. PM...

It sounds to me like you are making orca bait! :D

CONGRATS!! My son & I were certified at the same place, I'm guessing by the same shop. (Mike the DC was a good clue). The visibility there can get really crappy during training dives. We will be up there this coming weekend for some dives at Sund Rock, & some crabbing at other locations. Were...

That mass of debris is already showing up on the Washington & Oregon coast lines. A 60' floating dock beached last week in Oregon. There was a pile of debris with a Harley Davidson motorcycle wadded up in it that landed on a Washington beach the week before. I would guess it will cause massive...

That is the Reg set that the owner of my LDS uses, he said it is the best he has ever used. Most of our diving up here in the Pacific NW is fairly cold, average is 40 to 50'f.

Thanks for the replies, makes sense. Not getting one credit for a PE class is really NOT a big deal for a science major.

In the OW book it states that you can get college credit for the OW program. My 18yr old son got certifed through SSI, but was told that the credits are no longer possible. He is really dissapointed. Why is the credit no longer given?, or is it just the dive shop that will not do it? If the...

I will just miss you, we fly in on the 17th of july.

Yep, been out with Tim in the past on an intro dive, they were the in-house dive operators at the resort we have the timeshare in.
