Its kinda of sad now that both have been publicly identified. Now its finally real. I first dove with John and Bob at Lobster Shop Wall sometime ago. Bob was a pretty experienced and knowledgeable diver that John looked up to. John was just beginning to dive doubles back then. He was a very enthusi...

Fom the picture it looks like a burst disk blew on one of the bank bottles ... ... Bob (Grateful Diver) I thought it read that the tank was outside at the time. Their bank bottles wouldnt be outside would they? Looks like the whole "inside/outside" line is blurry right now. You guys OK? N...

The rubber boots just retain saltwater and cause corrosion, in my experience- I usually cut them off.

Damnit. Afaik, all my crew is fine.

Awesome. Congratulations!

Thanks guys! 2013 wasn't a good dive year for me, for a lot of reasons. But I'm hoping to turn that around in the near future. I appreciate all of your friendship and support very much.

Very cool! And congratulations on your new venture!

LIKE.

Been wondering 'bout that.

Yeah, right. Like hiding in the bushes outside my bedroom window with a camera for the last 3 weeks means you were "wondering. "

Excellent trip report! Thank you for sharing it here!

Sounds like a bit more experience reading tide charts is in order. Keystone is a dive where one would consult Current Charts/Tables since the state of water currents are are dependent on the tides but don't directly correlate with the tidal state. The tide tables will give you a rough idea of the m...

Not cool in any way shape or form...too bad people have forgotten what is like to be considerate these days. Fixed that for ya. Fixed what? Did I forget the word NOT or something? :thankyouyellow: You wrote "inconsiderate" where the word "considerate" would have been more approp...

I just picked up one of these this week ... http://www.diverightinscuba.com/catalog/1000-lumen-dive-light-p-3380.html Took it diving in Lake Washington yesterday. At 85 ffw I gave it a side-by-side comparison against my 21W HID Salvo, and I must say I'm pretty impressed. Pretty close to the same sh...

I usually get a bunch of crap every time I recommend this, but this is my absolute favorite SMB: http://www.northeastscubasupply.com/buddy-marker-bag-din-version-orange/ It's a self-inflate. You can recharge the little bottle from any DIN tank. And I love it. It does take up a whole drysuit pocket, ...

Wow- thanks for sharing, and I'm really glad you're OK! I won't lecture you, but I do want to say that this kind of thing really shouldn't happen, ever. I hope you keep diving, but I hope you take steps to learn how to keep this kind of situation from happening again. Feel free to PM me if you want ...

Tacoma Scuba is involved with Hollis you may talk to them about instructors. I know they have taught two classes, one with an instructor from Hawai'i and one with an instructor from Vancouver. It sounds like the instructor from Vancouver recieved some high remarks. I think the instructor from Vanco...

Spools are fine. But I don't like them. Prefer reels for a variety of reasons. Anyway, I dislike the side handle config of Halcyon and Light Monkey. My favorite is the good old Long Island Wreck Reel: http://www.reefscuba.com/litension.htm Josh, i think i may still have one of these laying around c...

First of all...frigging kudos to Northwest Dive Charters who I just had a great time with...superb service, good BBQ, good diving advice...well well worth the fare imo. On the other hand...there is a charter outfit who I shall not name who for three years now has unbelievably taken me to the same f...

That just sounds nasty!

Mah mamma had them one time. Doctor gave her some special shampoo so as they got cured and all.

Sorry for the bad title.

Not your fault. Just caught some of us off guard. RIP. And sorry for your loss.

Done. That one caught me off guard as well.

I did it for the first time a year ago. It was an epic dive. One of the best I've ever done. I hope you guys have the same experience.
