I am an instructor but havnt dove our waters for 6 yrs now./ I worked in the Cayman Islands for 1 yr . 4 dives a day times 5 days a week for a yr. 1000+ dives got me lazy. The thought of all the work to suit up for cold water has lost my interest. I just fell off the boat with just swim trunks on . Dissapointing becauase our diving is amazing!!! I would suggest the Cut , at WhyteCliff park in Horshoe bay if you are experienced. Currents can rip so check the tides. Kelvine grove is great if you want to see the 18 foot plus octopus!!! At around 95 feet in the long crack on the solid wall face. Grab a crab, tap on the wall outside his den and he will put one of his arms out and take the crab from you. Wolf eels at ansell are great if they are still around. If you want a good day trip do the breakwater at ogden point victoria or one of the destroyers sunk around nanaimo. Have fun!!

I'm a Divemaster & still dive quite often, if we're gonna do this, why not go big? Let's hit the Saskatchawan in Nanaimo. I'll never get tired of her.

Ok so it looks like there might be some interest.

I would love to jump over to the Island and dive the Sask, but how about the first one be local to get some interest.
I know the wolf eels are gone from Ansel. I tried 3 times to find them.

I'd love to do Kelvin again

Cprowler and I are going to do a night dive @ whytecliffe Monday night. If anyone wants to join. If not we can still set something up for next week end or behond

Hey Jason,

It was good to get out yesterday even if it was WC.:mrgreen: I would like to go again in the next week or so, possibly Ansel or Kelvin.

Talk to you later

Sounds good to me.

J

where'd you guys end up goin?

Just to Whytecliff.
I think it's seastar mateing season there where millions all over the place. Whytecliff usually has tons of seastars but this was 10X more than I'm used to
+ We couldn't find the field of plume Anemones

Anyone want to go diving?

I am looking for a dive partner(s) too.
I would like to do an easy local dive first to knock off the ring rust and to get used to my new BCD (ooh la la :biggrin: ).

I can do the following dates in June:
Wed 11
Thurs 12
Mon 16
Tues 17

Perhaps anyone interested can chip in and we could firm up a date and see who shows.

That's me with the hat on.

Jack are you working Nights this week. Maybe an evening dive would work for all
