Gee, I wonder who I should believe? The guy who's business would profit from a Fukushima hysteria, but chooses not to; or the guy who would personally profit from a Fukushima hysteria, and throws gasoline on the flames? http://www.dailypaul.com/303251/fukushima-fear-mongering-is-unfounded-nuclear-po...

Call Joshua at Tacoma Scuba, he would know.

Sound Dive shop has monthly dives. I would point him/her in that direction. The owner is a nice guy, sometimes few on words but means well! I'm trying not to laugh as I read this... Sorry, I didn't pay my dues this year... I'm not sure if Peter is still teaching out of Tacoma Scuba, but he does his...

I'd take you up on that, but I'm out of state now. I get back to SEATAC tomorrow afternoon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmx4twCK3_I I fully understand the hysteria surrounding Fukushima, but I'm curious if there was a similar starfish die-off after all of the nuclear bomb testing in the Pacific, Chernobyl or any of the filter media flushes the Navy did in the 50's and 60's. I'm not try...

I'm looking forward to this too. My Phoenix has plenty of dives on her.

Please, please, please... Fukushima, while bad, is not this apocalyptic event that the media has led you to believe. Dilution is the solution...

Just be ready to open up the bag. I brought my rebreather to Bonaire and the biggest issue I had with it was in Atlanta during my layover. SEATAC seems to be well trained when it comes to dive gear.

I guess I know where I'm diving this weekend now.

From what I saw it was a little scattered. Please don't take this as being calloused however... I truly feel incidents such as these need to be harshly critiqued to get as many lessons learned as possible. I find that most of these lessons are swept under the rug to 'protect' the victim's memory and...

I know what I want for X-mas now!

I would love to... when is the trip?

Thanks, I was lucky enough to have Uncle Sam pay for most of those trips.
I was amazed with all the life on the Diamond Knot. I kinda wish I was able to dive it prior to the superstructure started coming down.

U-853 off Block Island, USS Rochester in Subic Bay, my trip to Puerto Gallera and a tug off Charleston, SC that I got caught in 20+ Ft seas on the way back (it was the first OW class that I taught). I guess I should have said most memorable.

I had the opportunity to dive the 'Knot' for the first time on Tuesday. I would put it up there as one of my top 5 dives.

I've got a charter on the 27th. I've been looking forward to diving the Diamond Knot for a while now.

I think there were a couple more in the other direction, but not much more. It may not be a dive I would seek out to do again, but it's worth the drive if only to get some pretty good vis for a change.

Here you go... No fancy title and no pretty music... kinda a bland video to go with a bland site...

I'll try to download the small bit of video I have on it... but we entered the water at the point to the far west of the cabins at the Lake Crescent Lodge (where the creek enters the lake). We swam out to the SSW at a depth of approx. 50 feet for 15 minutes. We found a couple of upright trees and a ...

You know those submarine rescue suits can go to 2000ft... Just saying...

You guys did exactly what you should have. Since this is a recovery and not a rescue, you would want to keep as much of his gear intact to help determine what happened.
This one hits kind of close to home for me...

A little more info...

The story mentions bubbles out of his regulator, but reports also indicated he was in his 40's at one point.

I can't commit yet, but where are you heading?

DUIs may be expensive, but they are bullet proof. I have a buddy with a 10 year old CF200 that has about 500 dives on it. Besides the obvious seals that he has had to replace, it has been good for him. I have had a CLX450 for almost a year now, and I am very pleased with both the suit and the servic...

I'm looking forward to the show this year... Last year they lost a bunch of shells when the building they were being stored in exploded.
