how's about 10am? anybody else interested?

Looking for a buddy for Monday during the day, don't really care where.

So there I was looking at water that was browner than the mud puddles in my front yard, wondering if anyone would show.
Of course no one did.
(unless you count the cops that wanted to know why I was there, apparently friday morning is not the time to be the only car in that parking lot)

Planning on being at Les Davis 8:30ish tomorrow

My reply was sarcasm, period.... and he deserved it.. And im definatly OLD... its not the years boys and girls.... its the MILES.... :rawlings:[/quote] And good sarcasm it was, I kind of enjoyed it, something like WWF move off the top rope. If its the miles, then I'm freakin ancient. This thread has...

Cory I like you and all but that was a bit of a slap in the face for those of us who can barely afford a hollis scoot. :/ Not sure why it's a slap in the face. When he was your age I bet he didn't have 2 nickels to rub together. He's worked for everything he has. I'm sure that if you apply yourself...

Anyone up for Les Davis Friday Morning? Looking to be done with 2 dives before noon.

White vinegar is a good thing to have as well to pour onto the sting. (works well on box jelly's as well as man o wars to take the pain away before getting professional help) those most likely to suffer anaphylatic shock from a jelly sting are likely to be allergic to bee stings and probably have an...

Nubbins, I don't know but since the really bad news managed to be supressed for a few days, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

my point is the spill in 79-80 for 9 months had a daily flow close to what this well has and there is/was no lasting negative impacts. (At least that were reported or easily found now) A simple google search shows that Oil spills/leaks aren't a US only problem and there have been some big ones in th...

Dont remember this kind of outrage when Mexico had an oil well leak for 9months in the gulf, also no reports of environmental damage. Granted it was 30 years ago when the US was more concerned about Mt St Helens.

25 May Redondo vis was about 2ft down to 50fsw where it cleared up a bit to about 10ft.

Just reading through my email, looks like I might not make it to Sunnyside Wed. Work might be getting in the way, so don't wait on me if I'm not there

I'm up for sunnyside Wednesday evening, what time you thinking?

Looking to go diving in the South end next week, splash times no earlier than 7:30pm.

Is it a common practice locally to use DM candidates or even non-pro , non-insured diver's to assist/monitor students to increase ratio's.
Or did I misunderstand what others have posted?

Thanks for the responses to my question, amazing how the discourse became more productive for all.

I'm trully interested in what the "solution" is for incidents such as the one that happened and what LCF and ljjames described in the current vis conditions, if its something other than doing 1:1.

No takers, so no dive at Les Davis in the AM for me.

Great dive yesterday, lost sight of everyone at about 3fsw, saw bubbles and reflictive tape on their drysuits at about 10fsw and crashed into them on the bottom. We then unclustered ourselves and descended out of the split pea soup vis, and entered the turkey gravy vis. Headed generally north and st...

Looking for someone who knows Les Davis well to dive it with me Tuesday the 18th anytime between 9am and 4pm. 1 dive is cool but 2 or 3 would be better.

10am friday, too late of a start for me to do it.
Gonna try and make the 2nd dive on Thursday.

Friday morning works for me, where/when?

anyone up for a diving wednesday Daytime?
Not picky where, haven't been in the water for a month so I just want to get wet.
