Maui Diamond won’t leave you disappointed. I had the same experience in October with Island Style even though they still did a great job. On the Maui Diamond boat I was following Dave around and when we communicated that I was into macro subjects it got nerdy real quick lol. I think some of...

Black Durgon Dives on Caye Caulker was fantastic when i visited 9 years ago as a brand new diver. They are still operating with the same owners it looks like.

This is my cross post from www.nwdiveclub.com for a long long long overdue trip report from Campbell River this past Memorial Day '23 weekend. We had bad vis near town but up north in Seymour Narrows (home of 15 knot currents on big exchanges) we had some phenomenal diving. We headed up...

There is a thread going on the nw dive club forum about this. It sounds like they may have started the dive at the T Dock and they were both inexperienced. Diver missing at Mukilteo Lighthouse park - Northwest Dive Club While that site is usually tame and great for beginners, the current...

The second day we hit April Point Wall across the channel for our first dive. Fields of strawberry anemones covered the rocks and it was absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately my strobe flooded at the start which led to some mediocre photos. Our second dive was at Copper Cliff off slack...

Last August we made our first trip to Vancouver Island after the re-opening of the border. Earl at Abyssal Charters in Campbell River was our awesome host for the weekend. We picked a low tidal exchange weekend and filled the boat with a select group of Puget Sound divers/photographers in...

Sadly I was a part of that dive. I only got to meet Rich a couple times but he was a great guy and will be missed. There were several loose buddy teams that day but Rich was actually diving solo and started his dive before the rest of us, so nobody was there to help or saw him at any point...

I'm in need of a new laptop for basic photo processing. I'm currently shooting with a TG6 and use Lightroom for basic editing and RAW conversions. All my photos fall under the amateur shooting for fun category and I have no plans to get more serious. I may end up upgrading to a dslr sooner...

I was at Race Rocks this time last year and I'm going through serious withdrawals today after looking though my photos yesterday. We dove the more exposed part (east or northeast race?) on a really low exchange weekend. Even during slack the current was still present but manageable. We were...

I found switching from a flex arm mount to a kraken setup made a huge difference shooting stills with my video light. I can get my light close and above some pretty small things and still get light on them. You also want a lot of lumens. I use my 2500 lumen Kraken light on full power and I...

The majority of my bottom time is spent shore diving at various sites in Puget Sound. My local shop was doing some curb drop-off tank fills during the early parts of lockdown and is now back open under the WA State Ph2 guidelines so I've actually been able to keep diving through everything...

My wife and I spent a week in Bonaire at the start of December right at the end of the low season pricing. We were able to find airfare from the Pacific NW for $530 roundtrip with only one stop each way in Houston, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity. We visited several years ago and stayed...

I don’t know what it looked like beforehand, but it is currently quite nice. The only problem we had with it was that midway through our trip the power went out and wasn’t fixed. That meant the motion activated lights didn’t turn on and the drying fans were not working. I used my dive lights...

I just got back from a great trip two weeks ago and did not notice any serious bleaching occurring. We did see more red algae covering things than from our visit two years ago, but things are still looking decent. The fish life was still outstanding! I agree that the southern sites were more...

Dive Friends at Den Laman/Sand Dollar was still handing out plastic tags last week. Glad to have gotten another one for my collection! There was also talk at the shop that eventually plastic tags may be available again for a fee.

It took a little practice but playing with the shutter speed wasn't too bad, and the shots definitely had some improvement. I am using a Kraken 2500 video light that bursts to 4000 lumens. I was told here that in normal mode the TG6 would overexpose every time with the burst, but by setting to...

My wife and I live an hour and change north of Seattle, and just bought one stop flights through Houston for $530 r/t with taxes. If we were willing to do 2 stops eventually through Newark they would have been $480 r/t. Added bonus is our drive time to the airport is less than an hour. Secret...

Day 2 Photos from Bedford Island and Race Rocks We also dove the Ogden Point breakwater on Monday morning.
