Re: Redondo Sixgill
Many years ago (80's vintage) I did a night dive at Redondo. At the surface my buddy and I looked at each other, said "don't get lost! Ready?" and submerged. Didn't see him again 'til we were on the beach. As I was alone, I dropped straight down to the bottom and didn't move. Two things ha...

Go on this Dive! Here's an article written by Bob McConkey. We did that dive together that day. He's a much better writer than I am!!

Re: Is this guy nuts?
Thats an Aqua Lung Black Diamond. I have one. Great BC. But he's asking at least twice full pop retail. I'd leave it alone. If he doesn't know what he has, he's probably not a diver. That makes the gear suspect, to me, as stolen or abused.

FS SI Dry Quick Glove Ring System $60
SI Dry Quick Glove Ring System. Used. In almost new shape. All the original rings are there. Also, the original replacement oring. I'm selling because my hands are just a little to big and cause a struggle to get thru without popping the ring off. Includes Showa gloves and liners. XL. I bought it on...

Re: SI Tech vs Viking ring systems?
If you decide on the SI system, I'm selling mine. My hands are just a little too big and don't fit thru the ring without a struggle that sometimes pops the ring off. It has all the rings and yellow liners and orange gloves. I paid $80 plus shipping off eBay. You can have'em for $70. PM me. Jon

Re: Titan Missile Silo
Waynne. I didn't hate any part of it. You're kind of tossing me under the bus here. It was rough. I'm out of shape.But I recommended the dive/experience a few times. Cost justified the trip. And gave kudos to the shops involved. As for the tunnel travel, we were all pretty much in the same group, we...

Re: 40cuft sling tank
Yeah, I'm starting to get the picture. I bought my first tanks just the other day. I Ebay'ed a camera/housing, dry gloves and a new reg set. You would think the cruising for a deal would pretty much stop with the complete lack of more cash. But I seem to find myself on Ebay, CL and the equipment for...

A few observations: 1. Is Tom Nic considering buying the tank? Just looking at his avatar, it doesn't look too much like he needs another one. 2. "Anyone who thinks this place is over moderated is bat-crazy anarchist." -Ben, Airsix. Shouldn't that be "a" bat-crazy anarchist?. Sou...

Ok, couple kudo's are in order here. Capitol Divers, the contracting shop, took no profit from the trip according to Waynne. Who also offered to repair my suit for free. Can't really beat that. Also, Undersea Adventures, the leasing organizer and provider of guides, found my lost wrist computer. In ...

Re: Titan Missile Silo
When your Titan I takes over 15 minutes to fuel and deploy, then, if the winds aren't too high, you can launch, it makes you wonder what they were really spending the money for. General, we can't go to war today, its a little windy. But that was a pretty lucrative contract, tho'! ~~But we digress. T...

Re: Titan Missile Silo
As to cost, I thought it was well worth it. They put us up in a hotel the night before. The guides went with all of us to dinner the night before and breakfast day of.
