Hang in there Rich!

Well this is fun! Found in Townsend Bay this past weekend...

Franklin Hart Remedy Co, New York. Circa 1880, "FLORAPLEXION cures Dyspepsia Liver Complaint and Consumption". Wow! A panacea.

Excellent! Glad they found the spot.

Absolutely.

There was also a baby harbor seal, headless, sloshing in the surf near the shark. No pictures of that. :-(

McGlencoe and I did a dive from the Gardiner boat ramp a couple weeks ago. (Nice, easy dive. Little to no current, good vis, gentle slope -- a great place for training or casual bubble blowing.) Next to the boat ramp was a rotting sixgill, 5-6ft long. Definitely recognizable, even in the stinky stag...

I dunno. With all due respect to Dr. Pollock, I'm still not buying the 'oxygen ear' theory. Points: - Virtually all of the online literature that discusses 'oxygen ear' or 'middle ear oxygen absorption' quotes other websites, notably the US Navy Diver Manual, which talks about it but doesn't referen...

Point Hudson last night... 6-8ft. Kinda like a night dive at 630pm, what with the smoke in the air and goo in the water.

After every dive, for roughly the next 24 hours I need to keep equalizing. I'll equalize, and then a minute or two later I need to equalize again. What causes that? I heard a theory that your ears are still off-gassing, but I don't buy it. That would be a lot of gas coming out of solution and diffus...

I don't think sexual assaults count.

Source: http://www.sharkattackdata.com/place/united_states_of_america/washington I was suiting up yesterday and this guy comes up to chat. Says he sooo afraid of sharks. I tell him sharks are wussies, I'm more afraid of jellyfish. Got me wondering... How many people have been attacked by sharks here...

Rechargeable? How long do the batteries last?

Did you see any of the lumpsuckers at Gardur? They grow BIG there!

There is actually a commercial fishery for lumpsuckers.

... Now if I could just see one in the PNW ...

Hi Charles1910, There are vinyl coated weights that are more practical (Seavenger); is vinyl coated lead good enough for salt and fresh water? Yes, they are good enough. In fact, these are what I'd recommend for snorkeling, with a basic belt of 2" webbing, a buckle, and maybe a few retainers (&...

How did it fall? Is it dented or leaking? The valve broken or bent? Hard to know without more info or pics.

The Oregon Scuba Club is doing a club dive at Clear Lake, Oregon, in September. 22 & 23 September 2018. Cool! That one's on my bucket list. I have put it on my calendar, in the [as-yet-unknown] event that I can attend. I notice that the reservations are already full for the lodge area, and the ...

1.1 miles... almost vertical! Anybody got a helicopter I can borrow?

Hi rentalcoot! Welcome to the board.

Maybe try to join some the gang here in Hood Canal, that might be the best/easiest diving from Portland.

Can you still dive Crater Lake? I thought they closed it for diving. If you can, I'll go with you.

Absolutely! But I don't know anything about them other than Neah Bay is good as a boat dive... if anyone's running out there. Can you do either as shore dives?

Hey! I'm sorry I didn't see this until now - I'm living over in Hoquiam. I'd be happy to dive tomorrow (Monday, May 28). Let me know if you're interested. Monday is tough. We should plan some dives closer to you, for Ediz Hook or Salt Creek. The weekend of June 16-17 is my next available play time....

A beautiful day to dive here in PT! But my buddy can't make it.

Are you diving here today? Wanna dive? Happy to go just about anywhere.

... Point Hudson
... Fort Worden
... Point Whitney
etc

Is that the Loch Ness monster???

I see several people suggesting hydrogen peroxide. I'm not so sure that's a good idea as it can easily damage tissues.

Did you take legal action against the magazine? No. They are a non-profit, trying to do good things. Legal action would have just cost us all time and money. 'Tis a shame. I would have gladly given them permission, but instead they chose to be inconsiderate. Another time, a photo thief stole -- and...
