Fellow divers: I am sorry to say that I will not be participating in this years dives. I may be able to get in the water a couple of times while you're all here, but my activities will be limited. My sister has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of Inflamatory Breast Cancer. She lives in Atlanta...

I have never built a black light myself, but a buddy of mine built himself a black light in the early 90's to shoot macro with. They don't put out a ton of visible light and I think the shorter wavelengths get absorbed in the water column fairly quickly. Not sure if this helps, but I am guessing mac...

Wow Jan, You were fortunate enough to dive Kiska Island? It's on my to-dive-list... Did you get to shore to see the sub? A friend of mine has a photo of himself in the mini-Sub. Also, Tom Madsen ran Aluetian Air and flew out there for a survey in the early 80's. It's hard to beleave how much hardwar...

Dave, I haven't found anything with embossing from Alaska. I imagine there were would be very few in Southeast as most of our commodities were brought up from Seattle. And still are in fact... A few divers in the area have found Russian bottles. Those I'm told are very rare and almost impossible to ...

Our very modest friend Herb, who is also a Public Safety Diver has made the front page of the local news paper. I'm told the victim is stable and recovering well.

WAY TO GO HERB!!!!!

I hope your boss is advertising this or at least letting the local schools know about it. I have never seen an octopus hatchling and I've been diving for 31 years. This would be a wonderful event to share with the public. Thanks for letting us know about the babies. Second edit --- Why is typing in ...

I tend to find a lot of ink and medicine bottles in our channel. One of my favorite things to find are the Medical Department, USN bottles. I have a couple in various sizes that I have sent to my mom to display in her house..... http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee468/sitkadiver/General%20Diving%2...

My thoughts and prayers are with you Keith. Give your mom a hug for me.

Rock-on Brother! :norris:

That's a great shot of Herb. You should frame it for him.

I've been using an 18650 powered H2O Doc light for a couple years now(maybe 3 yrs. ???) and I have nad no safety issues at all with the 18650's. The only time I had one smoke is when I went at a dead cell with some channel locks to see what made it tick.... Definately not the batteries fault. The 18...

I am curious any one out there have an idea what kind of eggs these were My guess is whitespotted greenling eggs. Beautiful, agreed? -Curt :rawlings: Interesting, the wreck had several large Whitespotted Greenlings on it. Also, these eggs were on a rib sticking out of the mud like a tree stump. The...

Here's another You Tube video with Dan Bunch:

I sent a PM with a link to this thread to John on Vintage Scuba Supply. John is in Beaverton, OR and has been diving for many years. I'll let you know when I hear back from him. You may also want to fire an E-Mail off to Dan Barringer of Vintage Scuba Supply since he's in Selma, OR and has been arou...

Doc,

I was totally kidding when I said you had to sleep in the middle.

I'm sorry, please come to Sitka.

actually it only takes a 12 volt battery to start the flame and then no power is required. It is a pretty cool toy and one that Dave plans on using to make the Prop from the Rush arrive into his front yard. So Dave N you better talk to Dave S about borrowing it before he gets the wheel that you hav...

Dusty,

Figured people would be off gassing, and then there's the whole paying bills thing that keeps coming up....

Yeah, do that. huh uhhh huuu uh that would be cool.... (in my Beavis and Butthead voice)....

I would totally dive it!!! Rick, I've got several and you're welcome to which ever one you find more fanciful... Also, Lt. stopped by my desk to day to say, "Dave, your time off is on the new schedule." WOOO HOOO, I'm off from the 30th to the 5TH!!!!! :supz: :supz: :supz: And I'm within s...

How about this one? Maybe Norris will try it out.

I'll give you a dollar if you use your tongue instead of the strike plate. It's only 12 volts....

BTW, why did you post this in the "Recreational" Education section?

I know I'm not the smartest bear at the picnic table, but for the life of me I cannot visualize the I-beam, piling and chain relationship. Hope guys post some pics.

Why not give Dave a ring? He has a Broco and cutting rods. You could probably borrow it if he's out cuc diving.

Be sure to wear a FFM - normal scuba is a bad idea.

Nice one Ross. Someone finally tells it like it is.
