Nanaimo April 27th - May 2nd

[GearHead]

An update to what's going on:

Dennis (Pez de Diablo) and Barry will be diving on the 28th, 29th, and 30th.
Tammy and I will be diving the 28th, 29th, 30th, 1st and 2nd.
James (JBM) and Brian will dive on the 30th and 1st.
Colin is tentatively planning on diving Thursday, the 1st.

Uncle Pug is still on the fence, I think, and might be coaxed into joining us if another single diver would join in. Anyone else interested? If he can go, UP's only got a couple of days, probably mid-week.

For the dives, Amphibious filled me in on what to expect aside from the obvious attraction of the wrecks which are all I've done there. Here are some of the nearby dives to look forward to:

Clark Rock - Wolf Eels (and a HUGE seaLion last time we were there)
Jessie Island - Nudibranc, Octopus, lots of perch (shallow <60ft)
Snake Island Wall - Deep wall, Plumous Anemone, Cod, can get DEEEEP
Snake Island - up close you can play with seals in 15ft of water. Non stop fun - one of my favorites. could stay there for hours.
. . . and of Course the wrecks - BIG FUN.

I think the tentative plan is for two dives a day, plus a possible night dive on Monday, with a day of wreck diving on Wednesday while James and Brian do their Nitrox checkout dives.

If anyone still needs my contact information, PM me.

See you guys soon, We're looking forward to it!
