Dives & Activities
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Club Shore Dive/Winter BBQ & Rescue Day - Alki Junkyard- February 28
~~~~ BBQ/Club Dive open to all divers with cold water experience, must be Rescue Diver certified to participate in the rescue practice~~~~
Times: Rescue practice - 9:00am at the
school or 10:00am at the beach. Club Dive BBQ - 11:00am at the school or noon at the beach. Dive staff will be at the beach
until ~ 5.
Club Dive/BBQ info: Bring something to throw on the BBQ and come join us for a couple
of dives at one of our favorite sites, just around the corner from the Coves in West Seattle. There is a line paralleling
the beach in 45 - 55ft of water (Depending on the tide) that has piles of debris along it. Over the years life has attached
to this debris to create a series of little artificial reefs. At the end of your dive you can swim along your safety stop
in the shallows while enjoying the eelgrass beds, prime habitat for baby fish, Pacific Spiny Lumpsuckers, gunnels and snake
pricklebacks, or you can spend your whole dive in the eelgrass, the old sawed off piliings in about 15' of water right
in front of the condos are our favorite part of the dive. We will
have a tent/shelter set up.
Rescue
Day info: Calling all Rescue divers! Come refresh your dive rescue skills with your fellow divers. A number of our instructors and staff will be out this day, come join us, we will do a number of rescue scenarios
- from distressed divers at the surface to missing divers with everything in between. After our hard work rescuing each other,
we will refuel with some great BBQ food and some fun dives!
