You had ATV's ? I had to walk !
And Stairs ??? Are you sure you're at the right Cenote ?

On my way out to Discovery Bay yesterday we went by McCurdy point. Its half way from Point Wilson to Discovery Bay. I was wondering if anyone has dove there? I have fished off there a few times but never dove it. I do realize it would be a very current sensitive site and only could be dove at slack...

Barefoot in the snow, I'm sure

How did you know ? And yes, it was uphill both ways.

Lynne, from what I understand, the road is better than it used to be, but I'd definitely suggest leaving the stress to a guide. There were a few moments of getting out of the car, looking at the next obstacle and saying "how do we do this?...and more importantly, how do we get back out if we m...

The Diving Concepts dryglove system seems to be good until the plastic around the snap-on point gets scraped and dented from general wear and tear. Ive been diving with wet DC drygloves for a long time now because of it... If it's just minor scrapes from general wear and tear, it should still seal ...

Oh God, who let him have a turn at asking the questions ?

The video I found was only used for "inspiration" I couldn't actually do it the way the guy shows (maybe because he used the orange gloves ?) I'd make my own instructional video but I'll have to call my booking agent first ... :) heh heh I just searched the toob for something like "D...

I am going to have to hunt around for that video that limeyx is talking about, i've installed dozen's and dozen's with no tool and I never did figure out how to "very easily replace the gloves with just a single person ....no tool"..... It would be so awesome if even a bonehead like me co...

....it was the ever-elusive freshwater spiny dogfish.....

[*]Changing gloves will test the vocabulary of swear words you know. It's a two person job, and you either need to make a tool with a piece of PVC pipe, or use "A" clamps to help get the new glove seated on the glove ring. Thats what i thought at first too, and indeed it took me a LONG ti...

So why isn't he pulling it at the end of his dive? K the bottom of that line is at like 497' just shy of 500'. He has been going out 3 or 4 times a week and trying to find a hole that will give 500' from shore for the last year. rbex.jpg Tell him to just bring a shovel on the next dive and get the ...

Oh, I wish you hadn't posted that video. I've been mildly intrigued with Salt Creek for years, but I've always let the descriptions of the entry and exit put me off. Listening to Jamie put me even more off :) But the video is compelling . . . I got my ass 100% handed to me on the exit. On the other...

Thats the problem Lynne, next time take Richards gauge

I was intending to be there Sat afternoon but not sure I'm going to make it

Used Cuda ?

One my best experiences diving was certifying our nephew on Maui. It's an experience I'll never forget!

...is that a (not so)subtle hint that you're open to offers of all expenses-paid trips to Hawaii to certify people's extended families ? haha

Yeah, thanks for the silt-cloud dude, really helps the photography haha good thing I had the macro lens on ....

Gaitors are one of those things which seem very important to new-ish drysuit divers but after awhile get left in the box. I have not figured out what exactly changes in the process unfortunately. I think the difference is just that you get used to it, so when you start to notice gas in your legs yo...

here's a few stories from the same idea a few years ago: When good dives go BAD! Lessons Learned? Yah I was gonna say this path sounds familar.... My worst dive here: http://www.nwdiveclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=12281 If you can't quite read between the lines... it scared the crap outa us bei...

Sensors do wear out. Callibration is quick and easy. A decent check at 1ATA is to verify in ambient air (20.9%) and then use a known source of 100% 02. Ahhhhh but how "known" is your known source ???? Maybe some shop-monkey slipped 21% Argon into the O2 supplies !!! There are known unknow...
