Former Divemaster selling my dive gear (and some of my families') after several years dry without much chance of that changing in the next few years. Pictures available of all equipment. Everything was properly stored and maintained in a climate controlled environment free of moisture and in appropr...

Regulator, Lift Bag, BCD, undergarments etc for sale

Labor turned into spring, er, fall cleaning day for me so thought I’d try to sell off some spare dive gear: Lift bag – 100lb lift capacity, orange, with venting valve. Used rarely, still in excellent condition. $35 Mares Kaila BCD – primarily used as a pool BCD with 15-25 saltwater dives. Unused and...

Re: Undergarment, BCD, misc others...

negative Bassman, currently on a bit of a diving hiatus. I'm working all week but free starting Sunday afternoon for several days. Any dives planned the first part of next week?

Re: Anchor Chain at Redondo

I bet this is the same chain we ran across a few years ago - sounds like the right area and depth. I e-mailed the city and they said it had probably fallen off a ship. Think they were pretty uninterested as I never heard anything further.

Re: anyone up for a lake union recovery mission?

Answered my own question, looks like you have to have written permission to do any scuba diving in lake union:

I am curious if it would be "safe" though - perhaps getting permission is easier than it sounds? :dontknow:

Re: anyone up for a lake union recovery mission?

Ironically I had a co-worker ask me for a similar favor last night - he's dropped a bike, some sunglasses, and a few other odds/ends off his house boat on lake union over the last month or so. I'm wondering if anyone knows if 1. it's safe to dive around those houseboats (I know marinas are usually n...

Re: Nitrox questions

Just something to consider, while I agree it is unlikely, you commented that you were confident it was not DCS as you had not been in deco and had followed all safety protocols - remember that people DO get unexpected or "undeserved" hits, even when they were following all the rules and fo...

Re: How many of you would participate in ongoing cleanups?

I would love to do this - a dive buddy and I have made a habit of picking up the fish hooks and other obvious garbage (cell phones, boat paddles, teddy bears, golf balls) we find on dives. Its a big part of why I started diving - to clean up the water! Count me in!

Howdy folks,

There is a slim possibility that I may make this dive as long as a bunch of stars and whatnot align tonight. Is there anyone in need of a buddy or who wouldn't mind a 3rd?

I went in May and wore my drysuit with just a thin base layer and ...

Hey Tangfish - can you recommend an op on Playa Del Carmen? It looks like it's cheaper than Cozumel (mainly because Coz does a lot of week-long packages) with some non-diving things around it. Thanks!
