Holy crap I can breath underwater?!
It'd been too long.... months... maybe 6 or 7 since I dove last? The only thing that could motivate me to get my ass back in the water is a honest to goodness dive buddy. Once my regular buddy moved away and life in general intervened, I lost the motivation to make any effort to dive with anyone I m...

Re: For Those About To Swim...
I bet Jen Bozo has been lurking for months waiting for the right amount of silliness to post something not boring and not at all dive related.

Re: Oahu for a couple days
If Oahu isn't that great for diving, then are there any Hawaiian islands that have good diving? I've never been to the islands but I just assumed that there was decent diving there. Well...I very much like Hawaiian diving. I'm there at least a couple times a year. But, I have learned there are pers...

Salvo 21w HID
Anyone want to buy my can light? It's too bright for Hawai'i and I don't dive often enough with anyone that would know a light signal even if you shined it right in their eyes. Someday a 10w LED will do me fine. I'm asking $600 shipped. Last year the light turned on in my gear bucket and there was s...

I'm not sure what water temperature has to do with fin selection. I wear my jets every time I dive in our 77-80 degree water.

Re: Oahu for a couple days
I think diving on Oahu is a bit lame... but there are a couple wrecks worth seeing.
All the boats there are largely the same. Don't dive with Dive Oahu. I was so scared by their operation I paid to sit out the second dive.
Where are you staying?

Re: Big Screen Underwater Camera
Eric, how large is a "very large" screen to you? Bigger and brighter than a powershot LCD screen I suppose. I guess what I really want is a still camera that takes video and not the other way around. The light and motion housings are the highest on my list for video housings. Nice big scr...

Big Screen Underwater Camera
We do a crapload of underwater video at my job. We have a bunch of canon point and shoots that take really great HD video. No one I work with is able to keep them still enough for usable video. There's also a canon HD video camera and a massive ikelite housing. None of these devices have a screen th...

Bah. That's a 70 miles and 3 other volcanoes away I live on the "old" one.
It's always a great time to visit Sockmonkey... because its not like it will get any more geologically stable... ever.

Met up with some of the engineers from the Keck Observatory for a dive on Sunday. One of which is a friend of mine. Don't judge them to harshly... unless that's your thing.

Before today my last dive was a little over 3 months ago. Having a baby and the winter swell has prevented me from being underwater for any length of time. This was my longest time dry in about 4 years or so. At about 10PM last night my dive buddy Mari sent me a txt asking if I had a tank. I spent t...
