    Best Place for GPOs? or Wolf Eels?

    KVI Towers is a good place to see GPO. Last time I was out there I saw a GPO under a very large bolder that had suckers the size of desert plates. It was hard to tell just how big it was but I would estimate at 16'+ from tenticle to tenticle. I believe you need a boat to get to KVI Towers...

    Where was your first OW dive?

    my frist OW dives were at Sund Rock, Hoodsport Washington... nothing like low viz and 45 degree water to start things off right... Did my advanced OW in Hawaii... after that I only do training dives in the Pacific NW. If you can dive here you can dive anywhere.

    Waterproof Draco Drysuit

    I purchased a draco 6 months ago and I am very happy with it.. I commonly dive in 40-45 degree water and it keeps me warm and dry which is a lot more than a few of my DUI wearing buddies can say. I would recommend this dry suit.

    Required weight with a drysuit

    When I dive dry (http://www.waterproof-gear.com/draco.asp) with a high density neoprene suit I usually wear around 30 lbs with a 119cf steel tank. I know that I can lost a little weight if I went with shell style dry suit but I like being warm especially with diving in Pacific NW.

    "Waterproof" Drysuit?

    I just recieved my Draco three weeks ago. I love it... it's a great suit and it keeps you warm and dry. Last weekend I was on a dive trip in BC, Canada and in 42 degree water it performed like a champ. I would highly recommend this dry suit. Jullian
