Re: A little excitement, not dive related

I can understand why that would be nerve wracking! Any idea who did it and why?

Re: This should lasr long!

I'll be over to look at it day after tomorrow if that's okay. And if I take it, I don't have far to go!

Seriously, we are very interested. We're heading back home from Boise tomorrow evening, should get home some time Wednesday morning. After a bit of a rest, I'd like to come check it out.

Re: New Divers in Steilacoom

We're in Spanaway, not too far from you, and my wife is a day nurse. My wife and I are both DM certified and I love helping people get the most out of a dive. When we're down, I call myself the self-appointed worry wart, because I'm the guy who's always gyrating around in impossible positions to ver...

Re: "It's a desert down there"

I stand corrected. I only just saw the cirrus at the corner of its mouth.

Despite the viz, I managed to find a couple of nice snake pricklebacks out in the open. That was a bit of a treat since they're usually nocturnal.

Re: "It's a desert down there"

I believe your buffalo sculpin may actually be a great sculpin. We were at Redondo yesterday morning and while the viz was horrible, we had a good time and found some nice critters. Redondo delivers. That's one you can take to the bank.

Re: Dusty's Light

My wife was using an Intova Super Nova side by side with my clunky old light, and we finally got me a new one. I went with a Dusty's Light because I know the maker and the quality of his workmanship. He's also just a really great guy. Within a couple of months, we were saving to get her one, too. Su...

Re: Dumb questions

Losing fins doesn't happen often, but it does happen. My wife lost one at Fox Island WW a while back, when her whole rock boot came off with the fin as she was ascending. But here's the good thing about it being negatively buoyant: it dropped to the bottom and stayed in one spot. We couldn't locate ...

Wimpiest is right and almost everyone get's those little guys eventually.

This promises not to be much fun

So, apparently I have cancer. So far it doesn't seem to be the life-threatening kind, but I still hate that word. I've had this little doodinkle on the bridge of my nose, just a whisker away from my right eye, for as long as I can remember. In the past year or so it seemed to get a little bigger, so...
