Re: Corvallis noob looking to learn the ropes.

Woo Corvallis! I'd offer to go diving with you sometime, but as it stands I'm too busy with grad school to really get any diving in :(

Re: Breast Implants and Diving

I thought that episode was about diving compression? Maybe I'm remembering wrongly. Either way... the fact that they're basically balloons of liquid means they shouldn't really expand/contract, right?...

Re: HMCS Annapolis sinking on hold....AGAIN!

So, reading the 2nd article, I like that the Canadian navy let the people suing the government onto the base to serve papers because they (the navy) want to sink the ship... Seems a little ironic for some reason...

AOW

Hey everyone, I'm thinking I want to get my AOW cert this fall. Any suggestions for places to do it? I spend most weekends in Portland, so something either in that area or the Corvallis area would work.

Baja?

Re: New guy in Corvallis
