Re: In what order do you purchase your own gear?

Here's what I did - I figured out which piece of rental gear I hated the most and bought my own. Then I figured out what I hated next and got my own of that. A lot of it comes down to priority AND cash flow. Having proper exposure protection will get you diving a lot more, but not everybody's got th...

Re: Yikes! PayPal Alert!

I signed up for the PayPal Security Key using SMS. Now, everytime I log in, it sends me a text message. I then have to enter the unique code contained in the text message to continue logging in.

This way, even if someone cracks my password, they'll need my mobile phone to log in.

Re: Keystone washing machine

Yup, I was one of those divers in the washing machine. We arrived around 8am and splashed around 9:30 or so. It was calm when we arrived and a slight breeze was blowing when we entered. My buddy and I went near the end of the jetty and then headed back in, picking up the line to the pilings in 40fsw...

DUI Dog Days at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park

Hi -

I just read the latest DUI e-mail and saw that they will be at the Mukilteo Lighthouse Park on August 28-29 for their demo event.

Seems like a strange choice for a daylong event at a current sensitive site...

Hi There -

I am hosting a Bubbles Below Fun Dive at Mukilteo on Saturday, November 7th. This event is co-sponsored by the Emerald Sea Dive Club. It is a 2 tank dive and open to all certification levels. We are meeting at 8am. There is no cost to participate in these 2-tank dives.

Re: Lost - Ballance Weight Pouch

Hi Bill -

I dive that site frequently. Do you have any more information about the location? What region of the site was the student in? Any idea of what depth it was lost? What was his max depth? Which AOW dive was it?

I'm on the Big island now. We did the dive with Jack's Diving Locker and had a great time. The north site has been skunked lately so they're down at the Sheraton site now.

Hi - Peter was kind enough to not only lend my a travel BP/W, but also let me come over to his house and try it out in the pool first. (And Lynne was nice enough to gear up and show me a backwards frog kick!) The rig has been great to dive here in Kona and super easy to transport. I'm using 8# of le...

We were able to catch one of the eels on that dive getting a fish and then forming a knot to crush it. Got it on video too, right around the 3:25 mark;

Re: My New Desktop Background

Hey Eric -

We'll be there from 26JUL to 09AUG and have you on our itinerary. Contact me so we can pencil something in. There's (depending on exact date) 7 divers and 2 snorkelers in my group.

We're also planning a "wet day" doing the tour and draining kegs at Kona Brewing Company.

Re: I have a favor to ask

I dove it this morning and the ashes were there and very recognizable. I dove it again tonight but stayed clear since we were with students and I didn't want them disturbing the ashes.
