Topline 08/07/2012

Heather got some new gear, and we decided to take it out on the Topline for an easy check-out. Funny enough, a person was on the boat that Heather knew from dragon boating. Scott and Ocean Pro divers were the other divers on the boat.

The day was pretty nice, but the visibility was pretty bad. We did South Bowyer Island first, and found the wolf eel. After that, we just poked around a bit. Once back on the boat, we realized that Heather's new gear needed some adjustment.

On the second dive I went with Mike Juren, and Heather decided to stay on the boat because it was going to take a bit of time to adjust the gear. We went to North Bowyer island, and our plan was to follow the pinnacle back up to the surface after poking around a bit. We saw a very nice puget sound king crab, with an interesting white shell. It might have been molting. The visibility was not the greatest again, and we actually got a bit "lost". We missed the pinnacle, and ended up back at the upline. Not a bad thing!

A fun day of diving!
