Download or read book The Northwest Dive Guide written by Mike Hughes and published by Harbour Publishing Company. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cold water diving is more gear-intensive than warm water diving, but the diversity of marine life and panoramic beauty of the world below the water line are a delight to explore. Try the shallow waters of BC's Hornby Island for a cold water shark dive where spiny dogfish zip around like short fused rockets and you have a good chance of spotting a blunt nosed six-gill shark. Or visit Sund Rock in Washington State, a marine protected area sheltering wolf eels, sea whip beds, various shrimps and crabs and the occasional wandering giant Pacific octopus. When it comes to quality and quantity of wrecks to explore, the Northwest is a diver's playground with warships, cargo ships, and wooden ships dating back to the 1800s. Diving is not limited to coastal areas either, with Montana and Idaho offering opportunities for freshwater adventures just watch out for the 30 to 40-foot Mackinaw Ness Monster! In The Northwest Dive Guide, master scuba dive instructor and Northwest diving tour guide Mike Hughes shares over three hundred dive sites in BC, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, including drift dives, wall dives, freshwater dives and wrecks festooned in plumrose anemones and patrolled by huge rockfish. With training tips and gear appropriate to cold water diving, indispensable information on local dive operators and shops, and useful dry land advice such as where to go for a meal after the dive plus nearby attractions for non diving travelling companions The Northwest Dive Guide is sure to enhance the enjoyment and safety of recreational divers in the Northwest, whether they've logged hundreds of hours underwater, or they're just getting started.

This book was released on with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide has been produced with the aim of sharing our knowledge accumulated over decades diving in this wonderful reserve. We trust that by making this jewel that is the Medes Islands known, we will make you part of the fondness we have for this reserve and generate in the readers of this guide awareness of preservation, care and defense of the ecosystem that allows us to enjoy diving in this privileged environment. Through this guide we will show the different existing diving areas, the best itineraries to follow and the fauna that we would expect to find during the dives. The 3Ds that we use to illustrate the routes of the diving areas are recreations based on nautical charts of the area, but they are not intended to be an exact reproduction of the bottom, but rather a conceptual but realistic model that helps when to plan the most appropriate dives to our tastes and abilities. For the realization of this guide have been necessary not only many hours of writing, editing and layout of texts and photos; it has also been necessary to repeatedly visit the dive sites to take courses, depths and times in order to offer accurate and accurate information. That is why we want to thank you for purchasing our guide, and in this way help us to recover, at least partially, the resources and time dedicated to its creation. And if you find the guide useful and you like it, we will ask you to recommend it to your fellow divers. We also put at your disposal the different contact channels so that you can send us your comments and suggestions. And we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. We take this opportunity to thank the collaboration of Les Illes Diving Center, which is our diving center in l'Estartit.
