If by today you were meaning Monday then I guess it's too late if you were thinking Tuesday then maybe, drop me an email or VM. The weekend is better for diving though!
This Saturday April 2 is the Shipwecks 2005 conference!
Dave B. and a bunch of other cool divers are sure to be there! Cost? How much do you got? Seriously though $35 for non UASBC members $30 for members day or evening and dinner (double it for both the day and evening)
The Swordfish dive didn't happen due to very rough water, we did do a cool shore dive over on the island though!

You might want to wait until after you get the p-valve installed. Just a thought.

Yes, I know weekends are generally better to get buddies. But some of us had Easter Monday off and I hoped there were others wanting to get a few dives in.
Sorry to hear about the Sowrdfish dive getting scraped. I do like Victoria for their shore dives. What sites did you go to? A friend of mine was at the breakwater trying out his new DPV and said it was a great dive.

He wouldn't happen to have a Seadoo Sea Scooter would he? I saw a guy on Sunday at Gyro Park with one. I figured it must have been new because not many people would use a DPV on a 20ft deep easter egg hunt dive.
Monday I was at the Aqarium doing volunteer show dives. Something I encourage everybody to try. For those that are interested or curious contact the volunteer department.
Vancouver Island is full of awesome dive sites and the one I did was cool to! I seen lots of Lings egg masses, all the other assorted marine life and tested out my camera. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the dive site and I don't have the Island dive guide beside me!
Anyhow I should be in the water Sunday with a good sized group some people having fun doing advanced training and some people just having fun. Location? Not 100% set yet. Probably somewhere non ferry maybe even fresh if the vis is garbage everywhere else.
