Re: CCR Experience?

A nice scooter (DiveX or similar type/speed/range) is probably the best bang for your buck!

Re: Watch your gear at Cove 2

I guess the basic rule hasn't changed in years: keep eyes on your stuff at all times if you want to keep it. Stuff does go missing. Even deco bottles at 20-30 feet under, on the line!

Re: CCR Experience?

I just did The Knot (I think I'm allowed to call it that now) for the first time over the weekend. There was some hairy current, but i was under water for 5 hours (5 dives, one of them 11 minutes as my buddies got blown off the down line so I aborted.) I did bring 2 extra 3l RB bottles. It probably ...

Re: Could Have Been A Lot Worse

This happened to a buddy of mine on a dive and I've seen it on Youtube videos (where the cameraman is attacked for their reg.) This would be a really shitty way to die! It's easy to overlook reg testing if you dive a lot or hardly at all. I can't say I check mouthpieces enough. Thanks! Move to a nec...

Re: Bubbles from my SPG spool.

You can usonic clean them too if you don't have a spare spool. Sometimes the SPG and/or HP hose leaks are really irritating. Probably a better solution to have spares than slather with o2 lube and reassemble :)

Re: Any Females using the HOG fin?

Doesn't it really depend on what kind of boot she has? I would guess large too. I'd be worried anything smaller would not give her enough thrust with a cold water kit.

Found: Weight pouch. Cove 2. Earlier tonight.

Hi kids. I found a weight pouch at Cove 2 around 7pm this evening.

Shoot me a message with a rough description (pic of the matching pouch would be the best) and we'll get you reunited.

Re: Saltwater State Park - Lost Atomics Aquatic SplitFin (bl

Welcome to the board! Sorry about the fin :(

I have a set of Atomic split fins (XL I think) that I've been meaning to get rid of for cheap for a long time. Sadly they are the wrong color (blue).

Re: Lost Sea Life - W Seattle Fishing Reef

Taking a pic of contact info was discussed after the camera was gone :) We're not sure on the buoyancy... I've had one of these and it depended on the depth. Probably negative at 50-65ft.

Lost Sea Life - W Seattle Fishing Reef

A friend of mine (new, excited, good diver) sadly somehow lost her Sea Life camera Saturday morning on the West Seattle Fishing Reef: 2014-09-13 ~10-11 AM. She loves diving but is a starving marine biologist and it's a big bummer. If you hear anything please advise! Thanks!!!

Re: Viz Reports Thread

A little late but fairly recent:

7/5, 1300 - 1400
Rosario Head, Northwest Island
5-10 foot viz from surface to 147 FSW.

7/7, 11:30 - 12:30
Mukilteo T-Dock, Oil Dock
Pea soup down to about 30 FSW, opening up to 10-15 viz 50-100 FSW.

Seems like EPIC VIZ is gone :angry: Stupid sun!

Re: apeks low profile dump valve.

Hmm, somehow I have 4 drysuits... 2 x apeks reg profile, 1 apeks low profile, 1 sci-tec. They are all fine but I like the low profile the best. It has the lowest profile and actually operates the best (dumps more than enough in fact I dial it back a 1/4 turn.)

That's awesome that you found it. Isn't some loc-tite prescribed for keeping that thing on? You would think that the torque would tighten that bolt, not loosen in :(
