D'oh, bailing on dive 2, have to stay late at the office. :-/

For a second I thought you'd made a $30 scooter.

I vote Picasa/Picasaweb from Google. (NOT Google+ Photos)...no-frills storage, direct upload from most Andriod phones, excellent desktop software for managing photos and uploading them, a good web interface, and direct links you can customize to any size yourself. I use Picasaweb for all my web site...

Luxfer AL50 in Renton for $30, last hydro date 9/1992. Seems like kind of a weird size tank, a bit big for a pony, small for a main and too aluminum for doubles. Looks like it's DOT-3AL, though, so probably no weird bad alloy issues. No affiliation. http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/spo/3610258223.h...

Hmm, I might make it out for the 2nd dive, sounds fun!

Very interesting, that's pretty close to me.

Vintage tanks, anyone? (not mine) http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/spo/3557742142.html

Aluminum is DOT-SP6498-3000 (iirc, scrap)
Large steel are DOT-3AA2250, believed to be LP65/72s
Small steel are DOT-3AA1880 "Healthways", believed to be LP38s?

Thanks for the info. I was looking at buying those tanks, Worthington LP108s at Discount Divers Supply on Westlake ($300/ea) and was curious about the weirdness. I have a 17cf pony setup so don't see myself using redundant first stages on the H. I guess I'll change the topic to, "Do you think W...

Interesting. So, would I run two first stages each with one second stage? Or do people diving H valves end up with 3 or more second stages?

Saw a pair of tanks for sale that look like they each have two valves. What's this setup used for?

Sent you a PM!

With the weight belt found, the dive objective changes to "go look at stuff underwater, and try and learn the landmarks at cove 2 better", if anyone's interested.

AWESOME, thank you so much!!! Sending a PM.

Lost my rental weight belt at Cove 2 last weekend (Sunday the 20th), with 4 red weights in it, total 20 lb. I don't really know what brand, unfortunately. I think the pouches are yellow. I lost it in about 60 fsw near a rock pile and some cinder blocks.

Don't suppose anyone's found it?

Good point, I'll post that over in General. Although I probably want to go diving either way, and to try and find the same spot I lost it in, for learning purposes.

I lost my weight belt in about 60 fsw at Cove 2 last weekend, and really want to try and find it again this Sunday. My regular and backup buddies aren't around so I figured I'd see who's around here! I'd say I'm "intermediate" skill level, 20 dives under my belt in 6 months so far, AOW cer...

Are Federal holidays something people who don't work for the Government actually get? I think the last time I had MLK day free was when I was in college and the school shut down. My current employer offers Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas as the only paid days off. You're lucky!

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll confirm their policy about hand-outs before I buy anything. (But anyone reading this, if you do have one, feel free to send me a note still.) I've seen a few places selling the set of tables, and the video, separately online for $4-10. The actual textbook, though, ...

Yeah, I wanted to use it to get certified with... That's terribly annoying about the tear-out pages. From the Adventures in Diving textbook for specialties, I've been photocopying the tear-out pages and turning in the copies so the book stays nice. So yeah: intact preferred. Although I won't ask que...

I'm looking for a used crew pack for the PADI Nitrox specialty. The shop I frequent wants $70 for it, I'm finding new ones online from various places for about $50 + shipping.

It's three tables, a DVD, and a book. Surely someone has a set they're no longer using, and can offer it cheaper?

I think I remember someone on here looking for a pair of medium-pressure steel 66s? Theres' a pair up on CL right now. http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/spo/3527889871.html

I was out at Cove 1 this morning doing cert dives for my Dry Suit specialty and it was awesome.

Didn't splash until about 10:30, so it probably wasn't me kicking up that particular cloud.

Is there any diving out near Westport? I get out there a couple times a year, but am not much of a surfer.

Thanks for the offer, not quite what I'm looking for though.

I did have one offer to trade a gun for the laptop, at least yours is other scuba equipment :p

Laptop is still available, was pending for a couple days but the interested member has another commitment so it's back to availability. Adding: * Sony LocationFreeTV Streamer . It's a box about the size of a home router, maybe a little bigger. You plug your Composite, S-Video or HD Composite into it...

I suppose cash is okay, too. Sending you a PM.
