In September during the club days at UVic i joined the SCUBA and the Starcraft club. While I have done precisely fuck all about playing Starcraft the over the last month I have been rather active with the SCUBA club. As a dive master and having recently acquired a truck I am now doing a lot of the driving gear about for the club. I have also been helping with the classes (Open Water etc taught by the SCUBA instructors there) and teaching some drysuit orientations. It's been great fun and I have met many great folks out there.
Last week I was rewarded for my efforts in shuffling about gear with a charter out of Sidney. First off let me thank the great folks from the Ogden Point dive centre for taking us out. I went for two dives with my friend Alisa (who taught me almost all I know about diving!). We explore the wreck of the GB Church, doing a little swim through of the bridge and finding the Octo hanging out under the bow. After that we headed to Arbutus island where we proceeded to find ten (yes TEN!) Octos. What an awesome day of diving. And to proove that I am not just making all of this up, Alisa took some video while we were down there, check it out:

As you may have guessed, we do like Octopus.
