Mike Nelson used a oral inert gas absorber in 1959. (about 14:30) Surprised even Leonard Nemoy who knows how to do that split finger thing.

Thanks for all the background information. I love reading about the history of dive sites. Good on you bro.

This was posted on VDH. Has some good info on basic compressor maintainance for those of you who have a compressor or are considering buying one.

You smell so bad that when you tried to put on Right Guard, it left.

(Or maybe it was just the drysuit )

Greg, This is what you need to get your wife. She won't inhale any water, will have great visibility, and it's a great conversation piece: http://www.tribord.com/en/brand/innovation/easybreath-snorkeling-mask Wow, that's one of those products that I wish I had thought of. Looks awesome. As far as t...

Do you already own a point and shoot camera? If so, wouldn't it be 'cheaper' to just get a housing?

BLEVE - Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion

Not sure which I like better: The debri that get stuck on the light pole or the tank that rockets over the trees..... Hope no animals were harmed.

Use a steak knife with the tip broken off as a knife, costs about a dollar. You don't need a big shark sticker lol Best dive knives I've found. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/96342700/ I can rip through 2" webbing with two cuts or so. And if (when) it gets lost, I have a few more i...

Sounds like they should have been!! Nice post, hope the cold weather is bringing you good viz.

I totally agree with Fritz, the key to what he is saying though, is to make sure you use an IP guage. Without a guage, you're just guessing. Also, I like to cycle my regs with several breaths in order to get a good sense of what's going on. I've found that the IP on most balanced 1st stages will be ...

Sounds like a great dive. Thanks for sharing.

I'm new to the Gopro world as well, but so far I really enjoy it. Some people have said the viewing screen is a good adition, but others have said they prefer to edit the finished product anyway, so why bother. Mine is a 3+ and takes great photos/videos at a distance greater 2 ft. it doesn't like ma...

Boiled in seawater right on shore, or broiled with garlic.

Yeah, that's how we spent the weekend of the 17th.... Had an awesome time and came home fatter than ever.

Dude,

That red rock crab has a big brother and I heard he's looking for you. If I were you, I'd go to the library for recess.

Heh, pretty cool... Could have been fun coming up out of hte water with a fish or an octo or something, along with the shotgun :-) There were two pinpoint gunnels living in the barrel when I flushed it out on the dock. Both made ti back into the harbor unscathed. And Norris - LOTS of pots in the ha...

I was having some strobe/focus issues, so don't think I got many photos, but if I got any will upload later. Hopefully dlh or kneedeep can upload some cool photos.

Great dive!

Is that a macro shot of a swimming crab? I think that's a great shot.

I figured I post this since even though the video is a bit rough(to say the least). I was called out to recover a shotgun a couple weeks ago by a friend, whose friend from the knitting club's husband, dropped his shotgun in the harbor after a duck trip. I have a lot to learn about video editting, bu...

Vintage Double Hose has just started a crowdfunding effort in order to get the Kraken into final production. If anyone is interested here is the link: http://vintagedoublehose.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=7389 There is also a new set of photos of the reg being tested in Lake Michigan. That can...

any news on whats down there? I'm trying to not get too excited becuase there's a good chance it's just a bloody big rock. However, I have been looking at photos of the waterfront trying to determine what may have been filled over when they built the newer peirs. The Seattle public Library has a de...

I like the part where you kick mud in Keith's face!! Perfect sentiment for Christmas Eve.

Wow. You got to meet Zale Perry? That would have been awesome.

I've seen sturgeon at Cove 2 ... twice ... ... Bob (Grateful Diver) That would be awesome. I need to get back to cove 2 sometime in the near future. BTW, did anyone catch the name of Jen Hayes' Husband? Makes me wonder if Jonathan Bird is planning a photography webisode. http://www.daviddoubilet.co...

Amazon has a decent coloring book that could be used for high school or undergrads. I enjoy reading it, but it's a little too much for my 4 and 5 year old. An advanced 6 year old might like it depending on how patient he is. http://www.amazon.com/Marine-Biology-Coloring-Second-Edition/dp/006273718X/...

Anybody on here looked into or involved in Open ROV? http://openrov.com/ I'm fairly intrigued by this, was thinking about doing/extending one. That is very cool. I'll have to ask my father-in-law what he pays for servos for his R/C planes. But either way, if you can minimize your trial and error, t...

My guess would be an almost completely consumed Lions Mane Jelly sitting on top of an anemone? Yes, see the white metridium consuming Jelly's quite often in the Sund Rock MCA I've seen plumose anenomes holding onto the jelly fish for several hours over the course of the day. My guess is something d...
