Hey Cprowler good to hear from you. How's the little one

I heard that Kelvin is closed to divers now. Too many Divers peeing in the bushes

LOL...

The little one is good, hard to believe it's been over 5 months already.

Now I wouldn't let my dislike for shore dives prompt me to bring this up, but...:mrgreen:

Our dive store uses Sea Dragon Charters out of Horseshoe Bay and I believe they do two dives air included for $99. They know all the good sites and it's way easier to access them by boat because of the steep terrain in West Van and the Sea to Sky corridor.

Just a option to keep in mind.

I'm open for this.

Anyone else think that this might work too?

Wish I was still in Van I would definitly come along. Take the boat trip! You can get to much cooler sites, and ones you can keep the crab. Beleive it or not the shore dive site I would always find lots of crab was wreck beach. Really tough hike in and out, and not much of a dive site, but tons of crab! My buddy and I used to come home with at least 3 or 4 keepers each after a dive there. Make sure to check the tides!

Have fun and maybe I'll be in van for the next dive. We could do a calgary dive trip!

Hey Jason I just got my DM too. I am just trying to finish off my 3 more DSD evals so I can start teaching. Have you done those?

Not sure that the Crabs you find at Wreck beach are the kind you want to eat! :lol:

:lol:Guess I should have seen that one coming! But with a drysuit I feel very protected from any unwanted invertebrates!

Interestingly enough my birthday is on the 28th so my wife told me I should go diving & have some fun. I anticipate I'd fly out on Friday and return Sun or Mon.
Paul I think I still have your cell so I'll call you.

Jason I think I might just bring minimal gear like my reg, mask & fins. I think I might be too fat for my BCD with a thick wetsuit or dry suit if needed. Should I fly into Abbotsford or Vancouver? What is the water temp out there? I know this changes day to day & dive to dive but what is the typical visability in the area? Sorry for all the questions but I'm excited.:biggrin:

Thanks,
Greg

I am up for something like that for sure but I will of course gladly do whatever the group wants to do.

Jason McK 03-12-2010 05:23 AM

Well it turns out I can't make it on the 27th. My wife has a large charity event she has organized for months that same day. Yes I'm in the dog house for even suggesting I'd go diving that day
