Comments	First part of October on the west side of Vancouver Island in Barkley Sound. Sunny, breaching humpbacks, sea lions chasing us, excellent macro subjects, giant pacific octos, wolf eels, then back to the lodge for Kathy's excellent cooking. While a 7mm wet suit, especially a semi-dry, would work, this is ideally dry suit diving. Spectacular scenery and outstanding diving. Peter and Kathy have done a great job up-grading the lodge and boat, and it is quite comfortable. Maximum of ten divers. At the lodge, five rooms for two, with two bathrooms. Dinners are family style. If you like wine or beer with dinner, be sure to bring it along, as it is not stocked on the premises. As noted in another post, there is a surface plankton layer in the Fall to a depth of 10-15 feet. Great viz below that level. Pinnacle and wall diving. We had slight current and surge and generally excellent conditions. There is an annual six gill shark week scheduled in the July-August time frame. An excellent opportunity to see these rare animals.
