5.17.09 Back to the San Juans on a glorious spring day! Although my equipment did not fully cooperate on this day, the visibility was good - over 30 feet at times.We targeted the NW San Juans and had good dives at Sentinal and Stuart Islands. We then hit Jones Island on the way home for a less than spectacular dive. Thick growths of sponges and healthy nudibranch populations highlighted the dives in this current intensive area.

04.25.10 An opening between storms allowed us to dart out to Tumbo Island in the southern Canadian Gulf Islands. The sun was out, the wind was not, and underwater visibility afforded us up to 40 feet of visibility. We did three dives on and around Tumbo Island wall, including exploratory dives on at the west end of Tumbo Island and rock formations even further to the west. This is an amzing area.

04.19.10 Well, its about time I got my priorities straight and did some serious diving. God's Pocket Resort was on the agenda this April, and it did not disappoint! The weather provided some good windows for us to get out of Browning Pass (which is fantastic in it's own right) and hit Nakwakto Rapids, Hunt Rock, and the Middle Group. Vis was outstanding as you can see from many of the images and ranged from 35 to 70 feet.
Sealions images were taken during an outstanding dive in the Middle group. Gooseneck barnacle pictures were captured at the amazing Nakwakto Rapids. I have been visiting the same yelloweye rockfish at Hunt rock for the past 10 years - a fis that may very well be twice my age. Black rockfish shots were taken in the shallows at Hunt Rock - I absolutely love shooting rockfish at in the shallow kelp at Hunt Rock.
God's Pocket resort is simply an amazing place and a "must do" for any diver enamoured with amazing marine life.
