I sure wouldn't wish harm on the guy either. Bob's teachings were also running through my head as I read this guy's stories. One bad decision after another, any one of which would have broken the chain . . . These stories remind me of the bar exam. In Washington, the bar exam is a series of short hy...

Wow, what is the over/under on this guy running out of luck?

I don't know about the OMS light, but I'll put my two psi in for Salvo-for about that price (I got my 21 W, 14.4v, 4.5A NIMH for $1040) you can get a hell of a nice light. It uses the newer, stronger bulbs-one of the demonstrations that the folks at Salvo do is throw it across the room, something no...

The eel grass is covered with them-I was at Edmonds yesterday afternoon, and the hooded nudis were everywhere.

One of the cool things we saw was a shrimp eating a (non-hooded) nudi. I didn't realize shimp ate such things.

ooops-then I dig around and find this one from ScubaK. Mods, maybe it makes sense to pick one of these threads and make it a sticky?

I just realized that there isn't a thread on visibility on this board yet, so I thought I'd create one . . . it is one of the resources I follow fairly closely on other boards. Given the great vis we've had, it makes sense to start it when people have good things to report. My report is a bit dated,...

So, this is next week, Lynne has scared up a bunch of great mentors, including, quite possibly, the board's own Lamont (providing he follows Bob's advice and lays off the chili-cheese fries), and Bob (Grateful Diver) . . . In fact, Lynne is a bit worried we don't have enough newer divers. So, if any...

Cool-I'll scratch that area off of places to search, thanks Lamont.

See Doug, theres value in what we learned. The next time someone needs you to dive for their lost whatever, you can charge them the price of a SK7. That's really a bummer about your compass. I hope someone finds it for you. Yeah, such is life. I'm diving with a friend on Thursday, she's doing her f...

Bummer.. The wife and I will probably dive cove 3 tonight. I'll keep my eyes out for it.. We will start the dive on the right end of the cove at about 25 fsw and head toward the pillars. I think we may see some of the 45 fsw areas.. If you find it, that would be amazing, it could be anywhere from t...

It dropped off my wrist somewhere in the middle of Cove 3, above about 45 fsw or so. If found, I'd love to have it back, although this one is a long-shot for sure.

Case of favorite beer or otherwise applicable reward to finder . . .

How's their fill station? Do they have one? I'm a bit picky about such things, and usually drive to FifthD or NWSD, but sometimes I don't have the time to go that far (I need more tanks, I guess).

Thanks-I'll take what we get, Edmonds was maybe 5 feet on Wednesday, with big stringie things that seemed to be two feet long.

I'm looking forward to it, sounds like a great crew and a good time.

BDub-

Just confirming, Matt said a meet time of 8 tomorrow, is that right (your first post here has a departure time of 8 am, which means I'd have to get my butt in gear a half an hour earlier tomorrow).

Kirk and I are planning on departing north Seattle at 6:15.

It was good and steep (dragons head) with lots of crevices and places for critters to hide.. The last few times i've dove the san juans viz hasnt been over 10ft. Have fun tomorrow it was a great time today.. DiverDown, what was the viz out there-better than 10 feet? Just wondering if someone could ...

=D> i would like to come. right now i am scheduled to be in town, but my work travel can be somewhat unpredictable. perhaps put me as a conditional yes, and i should know for sure by the friday prior. Conditional yes it is-as Sounder notes it is sort of a show up thing, but it is good to have some ...

Lynne (TSandM on Scubaboard) asked me to cross post this here: Bob (Grateful Diver) had the brilliant idea of organizing monthly mentor dives a while back, and Lynne has taken initiative to keep them going. Next dive will be August 22nd at Cove 2, they are usually after work, show up, get paired up ...

You'll know you're reached proficiency when you realize you need at least a two-car garage ... one side to hold your scuba gear, and the other side for the rest of your scuba gear ... ... Bob (Grateful Diver) So if proficiency is the above, is nirvana having your own fill station? I know you must h...

LG-

Surely they taught you to never do this in your OW course? Bad, bad idea.

What people don't realize is that activities like going up in the mountains, skiing, etc are all activities equal to flying too... you're right. even though this was taught in my class last week, i was trying to figure out how we could go to leavenworth and still dive this weekend. i was thinking w...

OP edited-I went back and that didn't look so clear, thanks for asking for the link.

Yes, it is a good deal-to clarify, the instructor is not me, but stardiver over on SB, I met her last night at dinner, and she made a great first impression.

She's a teacher by profession as well, and we chatted a bit about her class, if I wasn't already nitrox certified, I'd be doing this for sure.

All, I'm cross posting this here for those of you interested in a nitrox class. I met Luann last night-she strikes me as a great instructor and this is for a good cause: ***** From: http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=147373 As someone who knew Kimber during her tenure in "waterless hell...

This sounds very interesting-I'm about 80% to be in town this weekend and would love to see John's presentation. If you post more details on what is needed when we get closer to the date, I'm happy to help with things like food or drink. Calvin-thanks for putting this together and volunteering the s...

Bob, are you scheming?

Sounder, let's dive when we get a chance. I'm gone from the 23rd until after the fourth, sounds like you are gone until Mid-July, so let's just play it by ear and see how things line up.

Bob, looking forward to AOW with you, it sounds like a very usefull class.
