Oh me too, me too!

I also have a bag, a crab measury thingy, and my license, all virgin I might add, unfortunately!

Let's go crab wranglin'!

Me Too! I have an Oceanic Pro Plus 2... looks like the same model you have? It is my first computer, but it also makes me happy!

Who else but divers would talk about "loving their computer"?!?

OK, that was weird...

Sounder, I do congratulate you on your wedding, but the triple dose was entirely unintentional! ](*,)

Ah computers doing weird things...

By the way, the site has been down and hard to access yesterday. Anyone else notice?

Congrats on your honeymoon, Sounder, and welcome back!

Sounds like you had a great time... I am looking forward to the time when I get the opportunity to dive warm water!

I'll be at the divers fair Friday morning... maybe I'll see you there!

:wav: CONGRATULATIONS to lawgoddess and claret! Way to go you guys! :wav: And welcome to NW Dive Club Claret! Thank you as well for sharing your emotion after your first dive. Diving is such a privilege, and if I ever lost that joy and amazement I don't think I would continue diving. You'll find lot...

Echoes, and Dittoes, and Me To's about all the wonderful stuff everyone said! It's all true and more!! Thanks John, for your heartfelt presentation. Thanks for showing us your equipment, pics, and your passion. What a pleasure! Also, loved the two copies of ADM that I took. Great mag! Loved the heav...

Tough brakes Sparky...

I will miss seeing you... Come up and dive with us in Tacoma sometime!

I've done most of them, and with Teal. They are a great outfit. If you can get the other divers you'll have a great time!

Amen! I second the afternoon motion!!!

Diving Dry is Awesome! :supz: I dive a USIA suit, and put air in to offset squeeze. Like Pinkpadigal I mostly use my BC to fine tune my buoyancy. For me personally, I can't imagine using ONLY my drysuit for buoyancy control. I am, after all, wearing a BCD, (Buoyancy Control Device). Using both you a...

Me Three!!!

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder! The few that I've been privileged to see in my short dive career have been amazing, yes, beautiful animals! (By the way, the pics you've posted are of DEAD Octopi!) Most divers I know consider themselves very fortunate to see one, and even more fortun...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Nudibranchs! They are one of my favorite critters! Their variety and beauty is really amazing.

Would / Could a "wrestled" octopus get aggressive toward a diver? :pale: I have no inclination to wrestle one, being the intelligent person that I am ](*,) :toimonster: but the thought of a large one being agressive because they have been "messed with" :violent1: has crossed my m...

Thanks Calvin for all your hard work and organizing this, to you John for the good stuff you'll be imparting, and to all of you for coming! =D> It's going to be a blast! Calvin, I didn't notice any non-alchoholic bevs for those of us who would hurt ourselves or someone else if we drink! :smt119 Want...

Man the vis was fantastic the last couple of days. I noted in this thread that pictures were wated and I am here to deliver. The photo show is long, but with the great vis the shots look pretty good. Please enjoy. These are from both scubak and Cpt. Bungee. Here is the link: http://photoshow.comcas...

um ... that's a cool pic, but i wish you hadn't told me it was dying. :-( Ok, warning! amateur fake naturalist imitation about to happen... :toimonster: All REAL naturalists please weigh in! :book: I am told that GPO's only live a few years. They lay and guard their eggs, stop eating, and after hat...

Way to go!

Now it's all about practice, practice, practice! And in diving, practice is a blast!

And by the way, you'll be perfecting "hovering" (buoyancy control) for a LONG TIME! Some of us STILL haven't gotten that down as well as we'd like! ](*,)

Thanks Diver C, I found the pic over on the gallery. Any more?

Amazing pics Diver Dave! I save most of them! Look forward to diving in Sitka someday!

Tom Nic

Calvin, are you serious?!? I want to see pics NOW!!

Let me add my Happy Birthday Sparkster, and echo John's comment that you're just a spring chicken!! Looking forward to seeing you Saturday!

Hey Sparky, Bassman is out of town the 15th so I am buddyless. If you don't have a commitment maybe you could stop by Tacoma / Lakewood and we could splash someplace together before the presentation... or I would be happy to head north with you to do one of the Seattle sites. PM me if you're interes...
