Crummy visibility underwater today. Shallows were zero vis, and depth maybe 3-5ft. We managed to scooter to dock 1 and then on to the small wall, going right to the deeper wall where we swam on the rocks for a bit. Then back to dock 1, over to 2 and around before heading back to 1 and home. Tide was super-super low back at the ramp, and wind and waves made exit 'not fun'. Still a good dive.

Once again decent visibility underwater. Scootered to right deep wall and again surveyed using big reel. Scootered back along back side of small wall to log, then along small wall back to line, dock 1 and home. P1 died in the shallows just before the ramp with at least one suspect poor battery Still a great dive. Overall a very good dive.

Chemainus VideoA good day to dive Tyee. Weather cloudy but fine. Visibility was surprisingly good. Some crud in water that affected photos and video but still could see 20+ feet for navigation. Overall a very good dive.

Tyee VideoDecent day on land, and looked nice in the shallows. However below 20ft it was cloudy and dark, with 3-5ft visibility everywhere. Scootered to dock 1 and the wall, then the right deep wall before returning along the small wall to the left deep wall. Then back to 1 and home. Nice to get wet.

Chemainus VideoBright and sunny and warm on shore; vis not too bad underwater except first 20ft which was crap. Overall a great dive exploring the right deep wall and then docks 2 and 1.

Chemainus VideoIt was nice to be back on the rebreather again today. We had a nice long dive scootering to the left deep wall and then back to the right deep wall before heading to dock 2 and then home via dock 1. Overall a great dive.

Horrible land weather (cold, heavy rain, some snow) and not great underwater visibility today. Scootered the small wall and all four dry docks. Still nice to get wet.

Chemainus VideoVery good dive today, even though my gopro case flooded again due to extruded seal. Fortunately the gopro hero 8 is waterproof to 30ft so water in the case is an irritant, not a catastrophe. Otherwise a really nice dive today. It didn't seem as cold in the water either.

Chemainus VideoIt was a cool cloudy day today at Chemainus. After gearing up I headed out to dock 1 then the small wall, then the deep wall. There was no octo in the den today, so I swam along the deep wall before scootering back. I missed the small wall and ended up scootering back along the deep side, eventually connecting to the small wall right at the tire to dock 2. I scootered dock 2 and 3, then the boom boat before heading to the back of dock 4 and up the crack 'o doom, around the top and back down the crack and over to 2. Then back to 1 and home. Overall a nice dive, if cold underwater.

Chemainus VideoAnother nice day, sunny but cold and some wind. Headed to wolfie who is still under the weather, then back to the right wall. Saw a small Puget Sound king crab. Nice dive.

Tyee Puget Sound King Crab VideoIt was a warmer day and the projected rains held off. After gearing up we headed out for a nice long scooter dive seeing the deep wall and all four docks. My scooter died right at the end of the dive, which turned out to be one battery possibly going bad. Otherwise an excellent dive!

Tyee VideoIt was extremely cold (-2C) today with snowfall during the past week. We scootered all four dry docks and the boom boat as well as swimming the small reef after heading off the back of dock 2. Overall a nice, if cold dive.

Chemainus VideoIt was cold and rainy today, but the tide was high and waves acceptable. We used scooters to go see newer grandpa and then head to dolphin and saw the small octo as well as a HUGE Puget Sound King Crab! Awesome sight. Newer grandpa was skittish today with me - perhaps he doesn't like the rebreather hoses. Every time I turned my head he'd come out, and as soon as I looked back he'd slide back into his den. The king crab was easily 12" across the shell and really lovely. On the way back I was buzzed by a sleek seal who eyed me but didn't stick around. Overall an awesome first dive of 2024!
