Saturday
SW winds 5 to 10kt. Wind waves 2ft or less. NW swell 3 to 5ft and SW 2ft.

Sunday
W winds 5 to 10kt. Wind waves 2ft or less. NW swell 4 to 7ft and SW 2ft.

Vis yesterday (July 9) in Monterey was 25′ to 30′. Seas flat (3′ swells) and very warm (90+) not a hint of a breeze all day… but a sweet day for diving.

Weekend swells will be up another 2′ maybe 3′ feet for Saturday and Sunday but still far below what we typically get for this time of year. Water is blue…but make no mistake about it…krill are still effecting the vis is some places…so no BS.

None today where we dived…but I’m taking a guess it may be with us for awhile so don’t let that keep you away. Remember…krill bring whales and that means healthy water conditions.

To All Napa Valley Divers:

Our next meeting will be Monday, July 14, 2008

Meeting location:

Filippi’s Pizza Grotto
645 1st Street, Napa (east of Soscol)
Phone: (707) 254-9700

  • Dinner (Dutch treat) will begin at 6:00pm
    (order off the regular menu)

  • The meeting will begin at 7:00pm

For the July meeting, we’re pleased to announce that we have a guest speaker! His name is Ron Elliott.

In the book ‘Blue Water Gold Rush’ Tom Hendrick called him “Mr. Farallon Islands” on page 250. Ron lives in Marin County and regularly dives the Farallons for urchins and to film/video Great White Sharks. He will be showing two videos. The first is a 9 minute clip of a documentary that is being put together about his diving off the Farallons. The second is a 17 minute video a friend of his put together of Whites. It should be an exciting evening.

It’s time for all members to renew their annual memberships.

You may now renew your memberships online! That’s right… we have added a safe and secure “Store” to napavalleydivers.com and we now accept credit cards and PayPal for your membership renewals.

Check it out and renew your memberships today! Okay, there is always one that likes the way we used to do it by filling out a form and mailing in a check… so here’s the form.

A few additional notes:

  • There was a bit of a mix-up with the order for Women’s T-Shirts which we’ll need to fix at the July meeting. So, if you ordered a Women’s T-Shirt, you’ll want to be at the July 14 meeting to make sure you get the size, fit, and color that you intended (or would like) to order. Colleen Topper will be there to assist. Men… no worries!

  • If you haven’t done so already, take a look… Roger has a new look at Napa Dive & Sport!
