My opinion on Mares Prestige bc and northern diver harness

I recently purchased a Mares Prestige bc without the integrated weights, and a northern diver weight and trim harness. I am very happy with both. Only one dive so far, but it was much more pleasurable than what I had before. Everyone has their preferances, dislikes and likes, this is just my opinion...

Re: Cape Lookout Oregon Coast

Another great dive at cape lookout over labor day weekend with No Excuses/Stan. Got one dive in, took the girlfriends and mine I think got her wrist seal messed up when putting on a glove and got a tad wet, said her foot was sloshy. She was just going to snorkle around the kelp, but after getting we...

Re: Adult Yelloweye - Hood Canal

I use to commercial fish years ago, and once in a while I would bring up an yelloweye. Very pretty colored fish in my opinion. Anyways, I got one about 15lbs one day, and just happened to get inspected by a marine biologist at the dock when I returned. The gal told me that with thier slow growth rat...

Re: Diving with Redundancy

I originally had my computer, compass and pressure gauge in my console. After having a computer die on me at depth, I now carry my computer on my wrist and have a good ole mechanical depth gauge in the console. Even though I was with a buddy, I did not like one bit, not knowing where I was at. Pocke...

Re: diving from Portland

Barview is out of the question without a boat right now, I believe. They are rebuilding the jetties and construction keeps you from getting close, just something to check into before you plan a trip there

Re: The eternal question: what should I buy? (Ranting +Drysu

I've had a Neoprene suit, (Harveys) and also hated it for some of the same reasons. I got lucky and picked up a Mobby's front entry armourshell suit a couple of years ago on ebay for $400. For me, it's great. It is completely self donning, and fits very well, no limits in movement and mobility at al...

Re: If you were going to buy a new drysuit today...

My opinion for what it's worth. I had a Harvey's Aqua Capsule neoprene suit. I now have a Mobby's armourshell front entry suit. I would not go back to a neoprene suit for anything. It was hard to get into, and even in the dead of winter, I was exhausted and overheated by the time I got into the wate...

Re: Cape Lookout Oregon Coast

As far as the coordinates for the arch outside of haystack rock at pacific city. I dug thru my stuff, it seems I never saved that point in my loran I used back then. I have a very long list of good fishing spots all up and down the west coast, even a couple of ship wrecks, but most are way too deep ...

Re: Cape Lookout Oregon Coast

Sounds like we need to plan a weekend. In all my years of living in the country, I've never seen many boats in that area, I bet the spearfishing would be great. And a plus, as most of the afternoon winds come from the NW, we be going back with it on the way home. Sounds like a plan.........

Hello from Kelso

Hi everyone. New to here but not diving. Certified in 1986, and every dive still amazes me. I usually dive with No Excuses/Stan, he's a great dive buddy. I'm single and drive truck for a living. Everyone have a good one and I'll be looking forward to talking with ya, and meeting some of you.
