Our trip to Port Hardy, BC this year was a blast. There was only 4 of us on the boat, which made things easier. It is a small boat, but comfortable. I enjoyed diving with Rand and Todd. I have done several trips with each of them. These forums are a great place to make friends. It was my first trip with Alex Mustard. Alex was a pleasure to dive with. Peeking over his shoulder while he was reviewing the day's photos was very educational.
Everything went smoothly. No major equipment problems, other than Rand flooding another light, but that's just a common experience with him 
.
This was my first trip with the 40D. Ryan converted a Subal housing for me to work with optical connections to my Inon Z240 strobes. It worked flawlessly and is a big improvement over electrical connections IMO.
The density of life in Port Hardy is what keeps me coming back. There is an abundance of subjects, and outstanding backgrounds to photograph them against. Here's a few samples. The rest are in this year's Port Hardy gallery.
