My friend Michele has organized a fantastic weekend of diving in the San Jaun Islands for the last weekend of October. Two (and possibly three) tank dives will be available on Friday night, Saturday morning + afternoon, and Sunday morning.
I think that even Non-divers will enjoy this island getaway! Let me know if I can answer any questions! I can send you a sign up sheet via email if you are interested.

EVERYONE! We have a great dive trip planned and hope to have you join in on the fun ! Hopefully the following information and options will pique your curiosity and you wont be able to resist this dive weekend. A few of the reasons you wont want to miss it are:
1. Its in our own backyard, easily accessible, yet
adventuresome!
2. You will experience some of the best of WA and
NW Diving!
3. We may well make it just under-the-wire for Indian
Summer!
4. Saturday embraces an extra dive hour due to daylight
savings!
5. You can select dives, which best fit your schedule!
6. You can select accommodations, which best fit your
budget!
7. You will meet wonderful people and interesting divers!
8. And - its gonna be a lot of good diving, digs,
people, food, fun!
[ Charter ]
The charter was chosen because of that Owners willingness to be flexible and work with us to experience the best all level dives. Due to the local currents this really means that you should be at an intermediate level if possible.
Ron Kenny, the Captain, has history as a hard-hat Navy Diver, among other specialties. He began his dream to show people the best of the northwest a few years ago when he and his wife opened Island Dive and Water Sports, located at Rosario Resort. His two dive boats, the Island Diver I, and II, will very comfortably serve about 30 divers total. Each are equipped with interior dry area, head, hot water, rinse barrel and dive platform. Included in the dive cost are hot and cold snacks, drinking water, between-dive air fills (Island Diver II only) and you may choose to use onboard aluminum 80s, or to bring your own tank(s). A group of six of us dove with Ron last weekend aboard the Island Diver II and I can assure you it was a real treat a lot of fun with wonderful dives, spectacular scenery, wildlife, and great company! I cant wait to dive with Ron again!
[ Accommodations ]
In efforts to find a special place for our group and one in line with even the most stringent budget, the Bartwood Lodge has graciously extended their invitation to accommodate us exclusively for our dive trip on last weekend of October. We have the whole lodge to ourselves! As I stayed at the lodge on our trip last weekend, I can also assure you that the rooms are very clean and comfortable, and the management is friendly. Its located on the water, in a very lovely setting, about five minutes from the scenic town of Eastsound and about fifteen minutes from Island Dives dock. Pets are allowed in some rooms.
I think that even Non-divers will enjoy this island getaway! Let me know if I can answer any questions! I can send you a sign up sheet via email if you are interested.
