The summer is now officially over. I think now, I am really looking forward to going to Cozumel this coming holidays. I am up for a beating from the warm sun. Aaaahhhh warm sun.
So yes, it was raining this weekend for our last Tour de Forts at Keystone. I made it over Saturday night for the night dive. There was up to 4 octopus spotted! In the morning Adam, Heather, Jaketwo, Laura, Jason, Scott, Jake, John, Disco, Caiti, Techno, Ron, Tori, Zack, Shawn, Chad, Melissa, Brad and myself did some dives on Sunday. The vis was amazing. Some of us did the pilings, some the jetty and some did the drift. The sun did come out when we where all done diving so that was awesome.
Post to let me know if you came earlier. I know that there was a bunch of people that came out over Thursday to Sunday, What is your story, how was your dive/camping adventure. Any photos? Jake gave me his so I will get those posted later this week.
Remember we have our group get together for a bench dive this Wednesday at 6:30pm, at Extremes. We will be getting together to plan our next couple of months. Now that the good diving is just getting started! Super exciting!

I wish we had come down on Sunday now. Bummer! Oh well, there will be other dives. I can't make it to Extremes either but Christina is going. No diving this weekend either because Christina is running the half marathon. We will definitely be there for pumpkin carving. Not sure how my blunt tip will work so I might have to buy another knife on Saturday during the "MASSIVE SCUBA EVENT". See you all Saturday.
Tour de Forts 2008
The last stop on the SOLD OUT Tour de Forts was last weekend at Fort Casey. (Keystone)
Over the three days 20 of your fellow divers got to see rat fish, octopi, Lingcod the size of small children and lots of other cool stuff. The visibility was very good most of the weekend and the kelp has died back for the winter. We did 2 night dives and both nights octopi where seen out in the open look for the photos Jake got. A few of us even did some drift diving from the pilings. Jake and Scott woke up very early Sunday morning to try and drift from the Coupeville tire reef to the jetty. Lets just say we had a long hike back to the car. A few more knots of current and we would have made it I’m sure. Even with the rain we still had a good time as always. Disco and Katie got the long distance award as they came all the way from Portland. They said that they are going to join us on October 18th for the Underwater Pumpkin contest. If you want a cool Tour de Forts T-shirt place your order with Charlynn the price will be $15.00. Keep your eye out tour stops in 2009.
Thanks for the great weekend of diving with Gone Diving!!
I came down and camped Friday for diving on Saturday. It was great to see some friendly faces! I was unable to stick around for diving on Sunday, which is kind of a bummer, but I did have a lot of fun Friday night and Saturday!
