Diamond Knot, August 15th

Right now I think we have space for 1 more. ~40mins BT, 110ft, 25/25 + O2 deco. "Tech1" or above + scooter. This is a long day trip from Seattle, slack is in the afternoon. Launching in Port Angeles, ~12 miles by boat west from there.

We also need a boat tender and will train :)

To the group...

Thank you for including me on such an incredible trip. I had a great time, and to date, the best dive of my life. Special thank you to Doug, Richard, and Brian for taking the lead on planning, and to Scott for being a great buddy (and for making a kick-ass video!).

On a related note - school is starting to lighten up and I'll be completely done mid-March. I've now got all my core classes (the really tough ones) out of the way and am focused on choosing interesting electives. The classes I have left won't be "easy" per say, but they won't be uber-complicated and confusing things like "corporate financial management" (which turned out to be extremely hard) either.

As such, I'm really looking forward to being more available and participating in more dives like these. I'm also glad to take my turns as tender, planning trips, and will own the responsibility of bringing a well-stocked ice-chest.

So thank you again for including me on this kick-ass day, and if I haven't worn out my welcome, I'm looking forward to many more days like this in the future.

-Doug

Only 4 beers?

My humor is free too. Really, glad to provide amusement. 4 beers, most stressful week of my life, and an epic dive equals loopy Doug.

I stand by my statement about Canadian ferries having better food. Those cheeseburgers are tasty. I will not comment on the other (alleged) statement.

Steding beat me to it.

I appreciate you all coming along, giving us your day, and staying (mostly) dry. FWIW, waterdog had the prettier tender. ;-) Tenders don't owe anything.

Besides, you're already going to have to pay for all those minutes and text messages that provided such entertainment on the drive home!!

That is all I am admitting to.
