For those that are joining us for the Jingle Bell dives this weekend make sure that your scuba outfit is deck out in a holiday attire.
Most importantly, please remember that we are collecting items for the Bellingham Food Bank. They have requested non-perishables and perishable food items. This time of year they are really in a need for fresh veggies, oranges, apples, milk, cheeses, meats and sliced bread. We will bring coolers along to help store these items. For canned goods: veggies, fruits and proteins (like canned meat or re-fried beans).
If you are unable to make the dive this weekend and still would like to help. Please bring your items to Gone Diving and we will make sure that it gets brought over to them. We have a refrigerator here to keep the items cool.
Thank you all in advanced in helping our neighbors and our community.

This is the report from the shore jingle bell dive group. We had 5 brave divers show up. We raised about 30 lbs of food in our group, not sure about the charter group yet. The winds were coming out of the south so we went to langely tire reef instead of battling the waves at keystone. We got good pics of us in our decorated dive gear, so keep your eyes open fo r those. Visibility was down some because of the storms, but as usual the life here was amazing, ask Kurt about his ling cod encounter. By the way he get the jingle balls award for diving in a wet suit.
Just wanted to add in a few words about the boat dives. Two great dives around Friday Harbor. The weather even cleared up for us and we only had the wind to deal with. Total of 8 divers, including one finishing his Open Water and one finishing his Advanced cert. Way to go guys. Keep a look out for the pics, should be some good ones. Looking forward to next time.
The Charter folks had a great time! Nothing better than joining a group of enthusiastic scuba divers to do some fun diving. We had three wetsuit dives with us! It is beautiful out in the islands this time of year. If you have not experienced the beauty of diving out there. You should give it a try. The shore divers beat us in the gathering of food for the food drive. Way to go guys!
