Sun Star vs. Clam

San Miguel

I am very excited.
I had written it off as too far-fetched, but today I got an email from the grad student who is running a project in the Channel Islands. He asked if I was still interested in helping out with the project on San Miguel in September.

I jumped on the chance to say "YES!" Now I don't know if this means I'll actually be diving on the islands, but at least I'll be around people who are diving so I can learn what to do on that type of project. This is very exciting.

I'll have to fit in some time to also visit some family while down there as it's just a jump away from Santa Barbara and I suppose also Torrance.

Kim will want to go to Disneyland and would kill me if I didn't invite her along.
Maybe I'll be nice enough to do so.

Man, this is a dream come true for me.

Cozumel

David goes to Cozumel.

Mine Diving

Diving a mine in Ojamo, Finland.

Cayman

Kathyrn had yet another trip to the Cayman Islands for a few good dives. There are some good shots of octopus, eel, parrotfish, and I like the jawfish with incubating eggs.

I just wish that Kodakgallery was a bit more interactive.

Puget Sound Divers

I just came across this Puget Sound Divers site.
They recently found a 40ft fishing boat east of Laurelhurst.

The site has some cool side-scanning sonar images along with some underwater videos. I believe these guys are affiliated with the dive shop I used to frequent in Issaquah. I guess the shop has moved and is now a hop, skip, and jump to Cove II where I would do most of my diving.

Mark must be happy about that.

Edmonds

Kathyrn made her way on up to dive at Edmonds.

A pretty big ling cod in this set.
