My wife and I use the first generation Cobalt computers. The second generation models have a much faster compass and an even better display. That being said, I wanted to switch to a wrist-mounted computer so I got a Shearwater Petrel 2. No air integration but a ton of other features that put it over...

Would the be 90 degrees to starboard or port?

Nice picture of a Flower Hat Jelly on the bing page today. The image can be downloaded. As always, Disclaimers: I NO LONGER work for Microsoft I never worked in the bing division I'm not trying to have you drink any particular search engine Kool-Aid Yes, I know that Kool-Aid is a registered trademar...

Cove 2 is better today than it was just two days ago. About 15-20 feet. Not exactly clear though, some whale snot remains.

I along with my wife recently returned from a trip to Roatán that we took with Coll and Janney Jaxon. First off, major kudos to Janney for superb logistics. This was a FANTASTIC trip. All four of us agree, the diving (and the dive operators) could not have been better. We averaged four dives a day f...

To pile on a bit, you are probably going to want to be on 100% O2 at the onset of symptoms. So unless you have a bunch of D cylinders with you, Airlift Northwest (and what I assume is an onboard O2 supply) would be a better option.

Two puns - one sentence: "under their wing", Halcyon or Hollis and "show me the ropes" as in Redondo, Edmonds, Mukilteo, Keystone, Cove 1, and Cove 2?

Touché

Welcome to the board.

PM forthcoming

Has anyone given this seal a name yet? I'm talking about the lighter colored one with the tan patch on it's lower left hand flank. I've seen it on like, 90% of the dives I've done at Cove 2 for the last few months. I feel like if it's that much of a regular, it should have a name. Fishchomp McSilts...

After looking at your video I have come to the conclusion that Cove 2 of Seattle doesn't hold a candle to Cove 2 of Sydney.

I know who owns it (my rescue diver instructor). I will PM you with his phone number.

That is outstanding. I want to meet this person.

That is good advice, think dry suit.

Welcome!

I haven't used Argon since I bought the Santi vest, though. My dives on a single 100 cu. ft. tank have been getting up to an hour long and now that I am diving doubles, my bottom time is only going to increase. Cold is becoming a limiting factor. I saw the Santi vest in a LDS recently. Looked impre...

I would consider any of the following. In no particular order: Underwater Sports- 5 locations: Northgate, Edmonds, Bellevue, Federal Way, Tacoma. Lighthouse - 3 locations: Lynwood, Lake City, Tacoma. 5th Dimension, West Seattle. Bubbles Below, Woodinville. Silent World, Bellevue Bellevue Divers, Bel...

Much appreciated on all the advice, just wanted to be sure before making a hole! I have another question regarding setup. I read a lot online that people fidgit around with hooking up and how it can be awkward around others, so my idea is why not get a short piece of tubing and attach a barb connec...

How tall would one need to be to fit that suit?

I thought that you might be stationed at NAS Whidbey. From the main gate you are 17 miles away from one of the better dive sites in Puget Sound, the Keystone Jetty. If you have not yet been there, do know that the site IS CURRENT SENSITIVE. Search this forum and you'll find lots of information about...

You came to the right place. Lots of good diving experience to be had here. If I may hazard a guess, what branch of the service are you in?

Over on the "other" coast, 2,500 subway trains have been placed into the Atlantic as reef building material. The cars are said to have been stripped and cleaned leaving a carbon steel shell. Is dumping carbon steel into the ocean really a good idea? Just curious. http://www.cnn.com/2015/02...

Tom. WOW. You figured out the location from that video. The video was shot at the bow of the boat that is north of the entry point.

Check the pool in Redmond, I dove in that pool several times in the fall of 2012.

Shot this video at TTN on February 14th, GPO tending to her eggs. Shot in HD, 33 seconds long.

Can you tell me more about the giant boulder reef at EUP, namely the location?
