Where did you solo dive today?

just a bimble in the mill pond at horsted mill this morning, vis rubbish, new wetsuit good, life seen nothing, still good to be under water for 30mins

Keystone Jetty Whidbey Island Washington, yesterday.
Mainly testing some different glove liners and LP50 doubles. Not usual for me to be in backmount and confirmed it's not my preferred configuration but I'll do some adjustments and try again.

I have a book of diving in that area. I guess timing with current being slack for the most part is crucial? This access I saw some on a search and with the DAN Web Page on that location.

All of the Whidbey Island sites are tide critical, although Keystone is fairly sheltered. Either high or low slack seems fine, I prefer high and of course a small exchange is best.

So how did you like the LP50 doubles? Any issues with balance? I loved the low profile of these tanks.

I'm not at backmount fan but they are a brilliant tank for recreational dives. I absolutely love them for sidemount.
I'll be keeping them assembled to get more time to decide if it's a configuration I want to keep using.

Yesterday I soloed Henderson Point and Deep Cove, around Victoria BC. First dives of the trip, had some gear issues and my weight wasn’t right, decent vis though.

Yesterday I soloed Ten Mile, Victoria. Put in at White Rock St, came out at Baynes St. Went a bit early, tidal current was still pretty strong and pulled me around the point in 20min or so. It’s very possible to get swept out to sea there, at night, that would have been no good… Current was not too strong to fight though and I stayed close to the rocks, dive went well.

10 mile is great. You definitely want to be checking the Race Rocks currents and getting in just at slack if you intend on making it a two way drift. Frequently the current is stronger as you move up the wall in an ebb. Good job swimming in rather than trying to fight.
I usually DPV from Tudor beach because I'm lazy.
How was the vis?
