Sorry to hear about somebody snooping in your friends truck, but super glad to hear nothing came of it! So visibility has been good?

Well, it was better last Saturday than it was yesterday, but we probably had 15 to 20' on the first dive, and somewhat less than that on the second. A lot better than midsummer!
Hey all,
We made it back to WV this evening without any problems.
Just wanted to take a moment to send out a BIG thanks to all those who helped get the dive together and all those who were able to attend. Everyone we met was very nice and very fun. The diving was spectacular as was the marine life.
I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you and your friends Penopolypants. I didn't even realize you were there till after we left. There were a lot of people there and we must have just missed each other.
I also would have liked to have met NWGratefuldiver (Bob) but maybe next time. If I make it back out that way again it will be strictly a diving vacation and I will be able to meet more of you.
True I never saw the octo but I did get to see two of them at the aquarium so that was a treat and almost as good.
The water temps were lower than I am used to but the dry suit did it's job and I thought the vis was really good.
Thanks to Lynne and Peter for taking us out to dinner. Salty's was a good choice and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was good to see where cove 1 and 2 are even though we didn't get to dive them, at least I will know where it is when I see your posts about them.
A special thanks goes out to DoubleDip (Kirk) for hauling me around all day Sunday to and from the dive shop and dive site from my hotel and for the great pics and for being my dive partner.
All in all I had a great week in Seattle and can't wait to go back.

It was nice to meet some of y'all, too, and I'm sorry I missed you too, WV. Unfortunately our schedules prevented us for meeting up for post dive discussions this time as well. Next time!
That's unfortunate about Roxanne's truck too. Tiff and I heard the whistle and the shouting as we were still in the shallows, and got out of the water to see if we could help. We couldn't figure out what was so exciting, as all we heard was "red trout! Somebody's stealing the red trout!" Red truck makes so much more sensel Ah, hoods.

I finally got to look at the pics that Kirk took and they are really really good. They are of professional quality. We all know color is lost, to the naked eye, even at shallow depths but after viewing good pics of what I actually saw and seeing their full colors it's easy to see how one could get heavily involved in underwater photography.
Keep taking those pics bud, they're great. I have always had these little cheap cameras that take bad pics at best. After seeing your pics and comparing them to mine I think it would be worth the money to invest in a decent camera.

So DoubleDip, what camera do you have? And I am having problems finding the book you suggested on the web. Welks to Whales Can you give me a link to it? I have searched all the online book stores that I can think of and can't find it. Is it possible that it has gone out of print?
It's WHelks to Whales by Rick Harbo and you can find it at Amazon.com
What was I thinking? Jet lag!! It's on the way.wylerbear:
