Been snorkeling the southern end of the Puget Sound for past 6 years and Neah Bay area as well. Have been throwing the idea of hookah diving for past few years. Used to scuba dive years ago in the Gulf off the coast of Panama City. But, now prefer to snorkel or freedive. My question is this...

What happened to the old vis thread. I always enjoyed referring to it before going out. Anyway, had 10 ft at Steilacoom Sat late afternoon at flood nice cold layer of fresh water on top making some nice bubbles to swim through. I free dive only and had a great time practicing breath control and...

Going camping at somewhere in the Neah Bay area would like more info as to where to go and what is the free diving like up there. Plan on going Aug 9th through the 12th. Checked the tides for the area and flood seems to be the best time to go as there is only a 2 ft exchange over a 4 hour period...

Saw my first nudibranch last Sunday at low tide in about 10 feet of water. The first one I saw was about 1/2 inch long and the second was maybe 1 inch. Tolmie State Park was the location and free diving was the plan. They were white with black stripes. Sorry no pic's. Also, was able to reach...

Checked the board for past post, found none. So, here is my question. Has anyone or is it feasible to free dive/snorkel this area the weekend of June 29? I've read some of the current and swells that happen in this area so I'm looking for any good suggestions. Tent or cabin is OK, no boat, so...

Went snorkeling on the 19th of Nov off an island near Olympia Wa ( I know burr) but I found it very odd that the big male rock crabs if not carrying a female then they where carrying a rock. Generally speaking the female would be about 2 to 3" smaller then the male and same would go for the...

I will be snorkeling mostly and don't look to be diving anytime soon. So, here is my problem. I have a 7mm Tripple L wetsuit, 7mm gloves, and 3mm socks how much weight will I need. I weigh 195lbs stand 5'10" and have full foot fins. Went snorkeling on the 19th at a near-by island and could not...

Hi, looking at buying booties/socks for full foot fins with a little room in them. I think 2-3mm might work. Any idea would help also, I live in the Olympia Wa and will be entering the water from shore so would like a boot/sock that will protect my feet a little. Water temp 50's.
