Re: Sat 7/9 or Sun 7/10

Jeremy, It's been quite some time I haven't heard from you. Just like what Renoun and Tom Nic are saying, show up at Redondo this Saturday and you won't have any trouble buddying up with somebody. Not to mention, you get to link faces to the board names you see on the thread. Also, the best part is,...

Re: Edmonds Underwater Park

I've always considered, as long as the gate is open, it's good to go. You don't need any permit to dive at BHUT.

Re: Another first: I screamed in terror!

It was great to meet you and dive with you Blaiz. Finally! I'll try to slow down and just shift on first gear next time we dive. Didn't realize I was like a speed racer on the first dive.

Good pics and always a very good recap from you.

Re: New fees at State Parks

You're right Bob. That park fee they instituted many years ago didn't last long, cause what it did was deter people from going to the parks. I was one of those who opposed it. I was so glad when they rescinded that fee.

This was one of the MANY reasons I left California.

Re: Shorts with pocket attachments. Are they worth it?

Thanks for the offer Wayne. I'm thinking of going to their factory/display center in Mukilteo sometime this week. Just to check it out. Probably bring my suit with me and don it on, see how it sits. Then again, I know it's gonna be different when its really wet in the water and the drag factor when ...

Shorts with pocket attachments. Are they worth it?

Contemplating on either attaching a pocket to my dry suit, or buy those shorts with pockets on both sides and just don them on top of your suit. Anybody that has experience on this shortys? I know of a person on the board that recommends these shorts highly. The advantage is-you can switch this shor...

Re: I want to dive this weekend...

Nwbrewer and Norris are right on the money regarding the Edmonds Dive. Like Scottsax, I live in Edmonds too, and almost on a daily basis, I go down to the EUP or Beach Park to just check it out. This weekend could be hectic over there. Then again, it could be hectic anywhere where there's water this...

Ross, my Man, you got that right? I can hear the oil "Sizzling" in my ear. But then again, it's too much hassle if we fry it there. If I can make it, it will be ready to eat to the delight of our drooling brethrens. Did you say "Lumpia"? Ooooh la la!

Re: I want to dive this weekend...

Sund Rock would take her to depths at an average of between 60 - 75 feet (either north wall or south wall). Very minimal current. Tons of big sized eels and Octo places at both walls.

They did their first day of diving yesterday at Sunnyside Beach in Steilacoom. At Sund Rock, Viz was about 20 ft. I dove with Heidi (DM) and Jackie (Master Diver), both from Ca...

Re: Worthington hp 100 alloy problem

I had one of my HP 100 hydro'd at UWS Seattle. The tech there said, while I watched him test my tank, is that Worthington steel tanks are known to not pass it's first hydro testing. As a matter of fact, that day, he failed 3 Worthington steel tanks. But once it passes, it will always pass the next h...

Re: EUP, 6-23-11, 1730 HRS.

I was fully aware of that. That's why I got in the water quickly and didn't do a long surface swim, then descended right away. Got out too as quick as I got in.
