Any GVRD SCUBA divers want to try a group dive

[Jason McK]

Hey Darryl Cprowler and I did Kelvin about 2 months ago. As long as you get a parking pass from Eagleridge marina you can park and dive.

It was mud until about 80' on the left side of the little bay.
the wall on the right was very cool

Would love to do that again.
The parking is $8.00 for the day

Dave when Are you going to do your Rescue. Ocean Quest is running a course the first or second week of Sept. I think I'll take it then

not entirely sure when the course will start - waiting for more people to hop on board at great pacific diving co (right down the st from my house). really interested in taking this as far as i can - gets me away from staring at a screen everyday - starting to get squirrely - of course when my new fishtank arrives things may change?

hey Jason, buddies of mine dive there all the time and just park in that upper parking lot(that's always empty...and close). they never have a problem with locals but i guess the $8 is cheap insurance too huh? lotsa wolf eels around there as well, good dive. the other spot that's pretty good but a bit of a hike is ansel point, worth consideration if you've not been there.

Last time I tried to get to Ansel it was all blocked up by big trees downed by Last winters storms.
do you know if that's been cleared

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.

[Jason McK]

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

Dale, I sent you a PM.

Jason, lets do a night dive on Friday.

Anyone else interested?

[Dale]

Is anyone interested in going out Sunday June 22nd?
Kelvin, Whytecliff, Porteau, Whiskey cove?
If we could get a group together for a local dive or two perhaps we could start planning to jump over to the island next.
