Re: Happy Birthday BigFameOne

Re: Check your wetsuit

Hey -

We'll be there in less than a month! Great story - and I second the book recommendation. I'll poke around here and see if I still have mine. If I do, I'll bring it for you.

DUI Delta not venting air?

Hi all - I have been having an issue where my DUI Delta BC does not vent air when I depress the low pressure inflator. I have to manually put pressure on the bladder and then attempt again before it will vent all of the air in the BC. I have reported this issue to DUI. They have no other reports of ...

Re: Josh never thought he'd see the day.....

Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair. And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share. He fumbled 'round 'till he could no longer keep his feet. And stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. Now about that time two young and lovely girls h...

One of the things I learned in Rescue is to take steps after an incident to assist with the natural human responses to something like this. I hope his buddy takes such steps.

OK, I love this setup and the results. However, I'm not a MemoryStick fan, to put it lightly. Is there any chance at all I could get a sample movie from you? Even 2 seconds would tell me alot about this camera? It doesn't even have to be underwater. Does it record RAW or jpg (or both)? Can I get a s...

Re: Thoughts on a Diver Incident

I wanted to add that it was very difficult to determine the severity of the emergency by looking at the people on the pier. Most were just hanging around gawking at first. When we were trying to determine what our response should be, I noticed an individual on the fishing pier taking pictures of the...

Re: Attention Seacrest Park users ...

I've noticed that vehicle there for the whole winter, but people were only around/in it on weekends. Someone should call it in - it gives the dive community a black eye.
