Began this 4th of July with early AM drift dives under the Fox Island bridge. This weeks exchanges are the steepest, and quickest of the year... which made for excellent conditions under the bridge this morning. 12' ebb at just about 3 knots in this channel. Predicted 4.8 knot ebb at the Narrows Passage.
Mike DeAngelo, with A2Z Scuba, planned the dive and passed out the invites. Of course I couldn't resist and had to jump on this one. Buddied up with my good friend Chip W. for two exciting rides. We averaged 30 minute dives, and didn't break 33 fsw during either trip. Will definitely come back to dive this site on a good exchange in the near future. Lots of marine life and flora to please the eyes throughout the dive.
We began our dives within the cove on the West-side of the bridge, where the boat launch is located, and drifted through the channel on our way to the East-side cove. Hopped out on that side... crossed the road... and jumped back in for the second run. Tons of fun!!
Check out the video clip of a portion of our second dive... you can hear the excitement.
