Any GVRD SCUBA divers want to try a group dive

[Jason McK]

Just throwing it out there. Anyone want to do a large group dive.
Dive site and date yet to be determined

I'm in. Don't have any dive buddies so that fixes that problem.

Great Dave what days are good for you?
and Do you have any where you want to go?

[wetcoast]

I work from home / when I feel so any day usually works with a day notice. I've got dry/wet exposure suits - a small 50 alum, and the other necessities should probably find a couple steel 80's. I only have a small amount of dives under my belt - but now enroute to getting my rescue cert after dealing with my open and advanced in the past year..

indian arm has been attracting me a bit just because i have never dove in that region. but am open to anything!

indian arm isn't really all that great for shore dives from my experience. a good shore dive though is kelvin grove up highway 99 towards squamish...theoretically speaking it's been closed down to the public cause of misuse and disrespectful divers but if you go during the week, keep quiet and be polite to the residents you should be fine. best local shore dive i've done around here. very nice wall and deep too, definitely worth a look.

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

sorry, not knowing unfortunately...
