not trying to totally slam that shop but i was on that dive and smelled the gas in question, it was bad, cost paul a missed day of work and a bill for a dr visit. they may of had a issue that was fixed but my point is when a employee states she does not like the taste of helium red flags rise for m...

Very cool. Good stuff. :smt038

Cool trip report. Talk to me about punctured counterlungs... This sounds seriously bad, but I have only poked and prodded rebreathers on the surface and don't really know much about them. Exactly how bad is it to have a punctured counterlung (better than a punctured lung, but still pretty bed is my...

Dan, Nice job with the "docu mini".
Lookin forward to doing that dive again.

This is the email I used for Jennifer Berner. jberner@ci.mukilteo.wa.us
Came off the City of Mukilteo website.

I've been told that the Parks committee will meet on April 2nd at 7:00 PM at Mukilteo City Hall. I intend to be there. The City Council meeting is the following week on April 6th at 7:00 PM. Again, I intend to be there. Come join me! Her comments cited in this article and others she has made in the...

Happy BD bud!! Have a good one

This along with Dan Warter's site http://www.dcsfilms.com/Site_4/DCS_Website.html
Both sites have excellent historical info.

the shallower dive with significant penetration into a very tight area is actually more dangerous than the deeper (helium free) dives.

I agree.

I would go in a second.
Been to Bikini once would have no problem doing that again.
Believe it or not I can remember it too.

I would say the majority of the folks on this board did NOT go through a TDI/IANTD-like Adv Nitrox+ Deco procedures class on air in the >100ft depths at all. Most have either gone through NAUI-Tech's Intro to Tech and NAUI "Tech1" or GUE Fundementals and Tech1. Nonsense. There are plenty ...

I have feeling that the permit rule may be to apply to classes being held there to avoid the weekend pile-o-divers next to the Silver Cloud, who I'm sure appreciates the divers showing up and getting geared up loudly at 7:00am. Or it's a money grab. In all honesty if there were a $20 yearly permit ...

Ok, I know I'm probably going to regret this but here goes anyway. Was down at the beach last weekend and saw divers coming and going (NO I wasn't diving just having a cup of joe on the beach). Nobody was being hassled it was a nice day. So if this is not being enforced maybe the best course here is...

the first annual mukilteo dive in
saturday, march 7th

I have to agree with Josh. Nice write up on the history.
Now if you could just find some decent guys to do these dives with you...............................

Good stuff Dan. Nice work.

So what did you recover Randy?

EDIT

It just occurred to me that I may already know........Was it new?..........Hmmmmmm?

You were close. RDW was on that dive as well !!

what dive(s) did you do this year that stand out? did you get to that shipwreck or finally see a six gill? not yet on the sixgill (yet!!) my aggravating dives are being skunked by the admiral sampson (again)and the bunker hill but the governor was great!! The Governor, Coaster, Black Dragon, Al, an...

Roger that

Nice write up Josh. It was fun seeing you get your first dives on the Gov. We couldn't have asked for better weather or conditions.

Apologies, but I'm confused. You went to Smokey Point for trimix, and it was fine, right? Then you went to another shop for air, and that's where the bad air came from? Do I have that correct? Sorry you lost the opportunity to dive, but kudos to you for having the good sense to thumb the dive and n...

I have a call in to my gas supplier, I believe they supply such shop as well. This sounds really concerning and if it is the helium then I want know. It is a bummer you guys had to cut your dive short, I hope at least Dan got some worthy footy, but I am really glad Paul had the mindset to turn the ...
