Nice boat

I have had both and will stick with the shell suit, its lighter, dries faster if it gets wet inside, usuallly packs smaller, and you can vary the thermal protection with different levels undergarments. Plus its usually easier to suit up in a shell suit, just my .02cents

Matt if the sale on the thermo pro valve falls through I will take them,

not just getting older, but better

Keep a eye on Ebay, i pocked up a set of USIA exotherm 3 for under $40 plus shipping. Also picked up a set for girlfriend for under $30 plus shipping. Not a set of weezles but with a thin underlayer it's not bad.

A Toledo man died over the weekend while scuba diving in Yaquina Bay in Newport, police said. Larry M. Johnson, 63, was diving with his grandson from the South Beach Jetty about 4:30 p.m. Saturday when he failed to surface. Family members alerted a dive instructor who was also diving in the area. Th...

when deep frying you gota think about tarter, and in mustard its gotta be spicy brown

some plates will not take a 3/8 bolt (hammerhead) so you have to drill out the holes to accept the 3/8 bolt.

Oh daaam I forgot that there was going to be video, I feel I dive like a putz, but to have to watch it, ugh lol.

Uh, what's PPing? (Aside from the reason I wear Depends under my dry suit, of course.) Partial Pressure blending, where a measured amount of pure oxygen is added to a cylinder and then topped off with air to arrive at a pre-calculated EAN mixture. And what kind of stirring stick do you use for such...

just a few days away, every body done with thier class work

How's the diving offshore out of Newport? Looking at the maps it looks like there is a lot of areas to dive..

I need to get down there and do some diving.

I hate it when I am the free entertainment lol, althought I love to laugh at others when they provide it.

Remember to remove the straps at the back of the boat before launching the boat lol, done that one a few times.

Nice report, sucks about youre dive light though. Glad to see that some else spent the weekend diving on the cheap lol, Sabre Rider, our girlfriends and myself spent the weekend in Garibaldi OR diving the coast and thank goodness we had a lil better weather, (and his motorhome lol).

Gotta love Cape lookout, I dove it Memorial Day weekend and it was great, we had a SW swell so it kept the boat rocking while we were underwater. Viz was 5-10' untill the krill came out to play. I was buzzed a couple of times by a seal, first time scared the crap out of me, I had never been buzzed b...

get a lot of them off the OR coast also in the summer, it sucks lol. I find the deeper I go the less I see them.

ORDiver, my gf Marie and myself are coming up on Sunday, then going diving afterwords at LD or Redondo afterwords if time allows. Looking for a surface dry suit for Marie, never been to one yet so looking forword to this.

Had a few people wondering how cheap u could get into a system, well got my rixx compressor running and pumping air, so far it has not been to bad $$ I am into the system for just over $1300. My compressor could use a rebuild ($500 or soo) as it is not pumping at 6cfm but more in the 3.5 cfm range. ...

btt

when I was certified (for diving lol) back in 91 it was in Tillmook bay in Jan., viz was 1' horizontal and 2' vert (looked in my log book) and it said I was scared lol. There was 4 students and one instructure, we all held hands because you could not see each other and would get lost if let go. The ...

. The one time I had a clean shot and thought I had at least two inches to spare I ended up on deck with a ling that was about 1/8th of an inch short. After measuring about five times to be sure our captain made the call, we chucked him overboard, and now he's crab food. Sorry but that is BS, if yo...

I hear you on that one Dave.

the sound and canal in the winter and the coast in the summer

sorry it does nothing for me, just not my type
