What did you do for a rig? Ship your doubles? Rent some?

we took a wreck workshop at fifthd where they basically turned up the game on us until we broke, and we broke really badly with it came to following a line in zero viz. we put down 400 ft of line, then turned around, closed our eyes and tried to follow it out. somehow one of the placements slipped ...

Welcome back, Bob! Watching your slide show takes me back in time. Bonaire has always been one of my favorites. Your, and Cheng's, shots are absolutely magical and I enjoy them immensely! Is the Town Pier still open for night dives, or has it been closed off for port security? I've heard both stori...

This was our third trip to Bonaire ... a "birthday" trip for our friend Janet Lamont who accompanied Cheng and myself along with her husband Jim. We left Sea Tac airport at 1:45 PM on Friday, August 25th and arrived in Bonaire the next morning at 5:30 AM ... just enough time to check in at...

Sorry Calvin, I missed your reply. Meet time is 8am at the Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes. Depart time is 8:30. I believe there are still 2 spots open. Brian Oh man ... gonna have to miss this month. I just got in from Bonaire, and won't be unpacked in time to make it ... ... Bob (Grateful Diver)

That was fun, Kaia. Wes (the other guy) is an old friend who I haven't dived with in a long time. Wish the vis would've been better (it was basically a night dive at 50 feet) ... but we did see some cool critters. Wish I'd have brought my camera (it's already packed for Bonaire) ... ...

well, when i called at 11:30, my tanks weren't ready. i was planning to get my tanks at lunch time, but that didn't work out too well. i just called again ... still not filled, but they're going to top them off with air so i can at least go diving. so, i have a question ... how many tanks do you gu...

hey, this is still on for tomorrow, right? i dropped my tanks off at nwdc for fills at lunchtime and hopefully they had time to fill them since. i had two great dives with calvin and nailer on sunday and am feeling a lot more comfortable than i was a couple of weeks ago, so i'm really excited to go...

Can I request that we keep this thread on the topic of the DAN O2 class?

Thanks ...

Here's a few pics from this dive, and one a couple of days later in the San Juan's. http://www.nwdiveclub.com/gallery/v/Dives/ RE: the Big Cone Island - What Is This picture ... ... it's a Leopard Dorid nudibranch. We did two dives on Big Cone on Sunday ... from opposite ends. They were completely ...

I always carry the cell phone in the left pocket, but sometimes I switch, just to keep things exciting. :evil4: I always carry an SMB and spool in my left pocket. Yesterday I had to use it. Not sure how useful a cell phone would be underwater ... I mean, even if ya had it in a plastic bag, receptio...

Hmmmmm. My interest level is up! What is the size of the tank? In my rather cursory look at the web site I didn't see that information. The tank looks rather small in the photo, but perhaps that is because I cannot visually compare it with the backpack size, which is unknown to me. The DAN O2 kits ...

Here's what Mike's Hood Sport N Dive came back with: The kit we have is made by Cramer Decker: http://www.cramerdeckermedical.com/product.php?product_id=34 It comes with a carry bag, mask, and regulator adjustable for flow rates between 0 and 15 liters per minute. According to federal regulations, ...

Estimated speed on the report with skid marks, damage, etc was 40-45 mph into the back of our stopped car... When the insurance adjusted looked at the frame and underside of the car, she paused... then she simply said, "damn, she hit you hard." It could have been prevented had the dumb &a...

How about the pictures from Saturday morning!?!? ](*,) :pale: :angryfire: Anyone know a great place to get an Acura TL? I'm in the market. :book: I got in late last night ... will download the week-end's pics tonight and get them to you. For those who are going "huh?" ... Mr. and Mrs. Sou...

I think everyone learned something ... including me. Participation was awesome! Thanks to all who braved the traffic to make it.

Now all I gotta do is figure out what to do with all the leftover beer and pizza ...

Did a nice 60-minute dive on DIW with Lynne last night. It was her first dive on the wall. We encountered several "hungry" wolfies as well as all the other usual suspects. Also encountered Bassman and Tom Nic. Here's a photo show from the evening's dive ... http://photoshow.comcast.net/wat...

I came across this report from someone involved in a recent diver rescue at Pt. Lobos in Monterey, CA.

It's well written, poignent, and haunting ... should be required reading for anyone taking a Rescue class ...

My save-a-dive kit masquerades as a Honda Element ... if you can break it or lose it, I can fix it or replace it ...
