It's early yet, but I'd like to know if there's enough interest in doing another trip. Hopefully with good notice, we can get a decent-sized group out. Also any ideas about other locales or arrangements would be great! ie: maybe we go to Florida and sleep at Jim Doe's house

I'll sure try
 Everyone is invited here to glorious northern Michigan, of course, but all you can spear are carp and suckers. By then I should have a new camera that shoots in raw mode (There is an extremely cool processing technique you can use with raw mode - the pics become almost 3d). TC is good for me - but whatever you guys come up with I will try to make it.

How about a 5-6 day liveabord trip through the Tahsis inlet?
Some of the best dive sites in the world, plus sea otters, orca, grey whales, seals and sea lions. Warm water (relative to Telegraph).

That would be rather awesome!
I recently got final cut pro and by then maybe I'll have figured it out. It would be great fun to put together a full on DVD of the trip.

YES!! Plus the pickins were slim these year due to the closures on the east side of the island.

This could be fun. Our life is calming down a little more here. Bri and I would of course do our damndest to attend. Perhaps we can get some media into this thread to give people a sense of the incredible environment we dive in (& warn them of the very off-the-wall spearos they'd be forced to endure - wait a sec... Colin's latest caption photo already does this
 ) I find it very easy to see the potential for great media to come out of the Canadian West Coast diving environment. It's a challenge - dark, cool, creepy... but also extremely rewarding. Any idea on a time frame?

My Coworker here has done TV production,editing etc. So anything we come back with we could build into a pretty nice DVD - I've got Final Cut pro - by then I might even know how to use it!

Anyone wondering what its like up there - check the telegraph cove link in my sig - there are pics from this and last year.
Have to say - I've learned a lot about taking pics underwater since then! Might have to revisit some of those images - maybe just get new ones next year. Anyway - a couple of videos http://photos.imageevent.com/blueroom/dbtc/DBTC1.wmv http://photos.imageevent.com/blueroom/dbtc/tcbri.wmv they are largish - you may want to pause them after they start to let themload.
