| Max depth: 91 feet | Time: 48 minutes | Total Hours: 200:12 |
| Comments: YIPES! Cold water at depth - and poor vis too. Appparently due to some weird current running through the area at the time. Lots of stingrays and morays, though, and some neato fish too. A nice daytrip for non-divers - Vallarta Adventures had a nice beach and a GREAT lunch, as well as ocean kayaking. www.vallarta-adventures.com | ||

| Water Temp: 49 F | Visibility: 40' | PSI Used: 1400 psi air |
| Max depth: 93 feet | Time: 44 minutes | Total Hours: 199:24 |
| Comments: Went out with Craig Neill from Aqua Addicts and his new charter operation (604-944-6996 or 604-328-4899) up Indian Arm. A fun trip - the boat is nice, and the food was superb. Dive was neat - millions of red jellyfish though, and the occasional blue one. And perch, and rockfish. Didn't find any octos, but there were tons of seastars and hairy lithode crabs. A nice drift too - gentle. | ||

| Water Temp: 53 F | Visibility: 10' | PSI Used: 800 psi Nitrox 29% |
| Max depth: 27 feet | Time: 32 minutes | Total Hours: 196:28 |
| Comments: YAY! A Pacific spiny lumpsucker, looking rather like a miniature helicopter as he tried to swim. Such a cool fish - bright orange, about the size, shape, and orange color of a golf-ball, with little spines everywhere. Extremely exciting. Nudibranchs too, all throughout the kelp and eelgrass, and shrimp hopping madly. Crabs too. The rock greenling again, only this time we found out why it was chasing us - she had eggs. Seems like an odd time of year, but we didn't tell her. | ||
| Dive # 356 | Date: October 11, 1998. | Location: Cates Park |
| Purpose: OW #1 | Access: shore | Weather: clearing |
| Water Temp: 53 F | Visibility: 10' | PSI Used: 1000 psi Nitrox 29 |
| Max depth: 21 feet | Time: 31 minutes | Total Hours: 195:56 |
| Comments: Couple of weird jelly-like things - sorta like a nudibranch, but more like a jellyfish - hanging on the eelgrass. Decorator, red rock, and Dungeness crabs too - Dennis picked up a Dungeness with a clutch of eggs pulle up to her belly by her tail. A rock greenling, chasing us. | ||
| Dive # 355 | Date: October 10, 1998. | Location: Whytecliff |
| Purpose: | Access: shore | Weather: overcast |
| Water Temp: 51 F | Visibility: 30' | PSI Used: 1000 psi air |
| Max depth: 65 feet | Time: 32 minutes | Total Hours: 195:25 |
| Comments: C-c-c-cold! :-) Fed a greenling, took an awful lot of coaxing, but the fish was awfully friendly afterwards! Met up with an amazing current too - Dennis managed to kick into it, I pulled myself along the rocks. Why? So we could *ride* it back. The drift was, however, shortlived, although enjoyable. | ||
| Dive # 354 | Date: October 10, 1998. | Location: Whytecliff |
| Purpose: | Access: shore | Weather: overcast |
| Water Temp: 51 F | Visibility: 30' | PSI Used: 1800 psi air |
| Max depth: 145 feet | Time: 42 minutes | Total Hours: 194:53 |
| Comments: Couple of octopus, some big lingcod. A few greenlings, scurrying away, and the plumose fields were gorgeous as always. Rows of shrimp (literally!) in the cracks in the rocks - they were cracking me up, all lined up methodically, staring at me with their beady little eyes. | ||
| Dive # 353 | Date: October 6, 1998. | Location: Ansell Point |
| Purpose: night | Access: shore | Weather: overcast |
| Water Temp: 51 F | Visibility: 30' | PSI Used: 1400 psi air |
| Max depth: 105 feet | Time: 45 minutes | Total Hours: 194:11 |
| Comments: First thing we saw as we descended was a dogfish. Stupid me, looking at the shadow in the lights, thinking "Hey, that looks like a dogfish, wonder where he is" and not cluing into the "gee, if I see him shadow in the lights, they must all have their lights pointed at him"... DUH! Some inconsiderate jerk has killed the first wolf-eel. Apparently there is now one on display at Granville Island, can you believe it? If these people want to see one, they should either go to the Aquarium or learn to dive - NOT kill one senselessly. But there is an octopus to be found, as well as a red brotula and a little baby octo that was scampering across the sand. Lots of rockfish too, with the occasional greenling and lingcod. | ||
