I don't know, but I think it is funny that a group pushed for the the "club" to be formed, then immediately stopped using Scubaboard.

Ironic, isn't it?
GWP,
As it was explained to me by some of the old school locals "spyhopping" is when you are diving in the shallows and instead of navigating by compass or underwater natural nav. alone, one will momentarily pop their head up to get oriented and then duck back down and continue in that direction.
Not something I advocate, but the name does kinda sound cool, right???

Don't know if anyone is still following this thread but what the heck. If memory serves greatwhitepike, spyhopping refers to Orcas when they don't come all the way out of the water to breech but just enough too have a look around.
Hasta luego, Andrew.

Hi All,
Quite a bit of time has passed and I've meant to reply to these last few posts for awhile now. Setting up this "club" was something I thought was very important as a way for lower mainland divers to connect. I was the one who "pushed" for this club although there was certainly enough interest at the time. Shortly after this thread was established (and it took a long time for that to happen) I became very ill and was unable to dive for quite some time. So that is why I suddenly stopped using scubaboard. It's too bad that this thread didn't continue to be used, but I hope that every diver out there who ever needs a buddy can find one some way or another.
Also, Skookumchuck is right about what spyhopping is.
Happy Diving

Ironic that you should post now as I witnessed Orcas spyhopping for the first time ever last weekend.
