Another Tuesday... Another Sunken Barge...

What's diving on the Dock Street Barge like...? Well... it's mucky. And if you haven't been muck diving in the Puget Sound then you've not been properly introduced. I, for one, am not going to be that guy to deprive my newest diving buddies of this rite of passage - so it's straight to the muck we go!

I hope that Steven enjoyed this one as much as I did. We toured up, down and around the barge and came face to face with a few of the largest ling cod Commencement Bay has to offer. Ginormous I tell ya, with a bit of a glow. Hmmmm...

Besides the lings there was the typical over-abundance of shrimp and prawns lining the silty deck of the barge, and just as many of the mud dwelling goby's, ronquil's, sculpin, and the like. Although Steve and I began our dive with Nick, we seemed to have lost him to a bouyant ascent as we reached the shallow end of the barge on our way back up its bow. Turns out he was just fine but had a bit of a challenge presented to him by his new drysuit. We've all had those days... :)
