Nice! How was that east wall trail?

good call!

Not sure about the nose pocket, but I have found that scubapro masks seem to fit my narrow face well.

Most other brands are too wide and/or flat sealing for me.

Oh and you are welcome to make me an offer

Interesting and what would your max unloaded speed be with that?

I'm running a solas aluminum 4 blade. The 3 blade didn't have enough bite in turns and I could ventilate fairly easily turning while loaded. Loaded for me is 8 cylinders and 3 or 4 bodies.

They duo props should have slip bushings just like a regular outboard. In case of a log or rope

If you mix some glycerin in with the alcohol its not so drying. Straight alcohol will make your ear canal super red and raw - I tried that in MX when I had an actual infection years ago and I think it might have actually made it worse.

(I'm the original poster) My dive buddy thinks she may have seen people with straps around their boots to (we presume) lessen the boot volume. Has anyone heard of this? They smush down DUI turbo soles which are like a sock with a flat sole glued on the bottom. They wont squish out the air of the Yu...

I have two galvanized 72s for sale. Both recent hydros (jan and march 18), new vips, both with brand new DGE 200 bar DIN valves (never wet), currently full of air. Hydro and valve alone are worth $75. DGE DIN valves don't come with yoke conversion plugs but I can dig some up for you if you want them...

It might seem counterintuitive but your tank and BC and where you're carrying your lead actually plays a big part in what your feet feel like. "Heavy heavy" is really just another way of saying "feet light". So I would look at everything. 2lbs at the end of your legs is a HUGE am...

Down Time is not operating as a dive boat (or at all that I know of)

Not exactly craigslist but a sweet ride (I've no affiliation with add helium or the seller)

Yes 119s are 8" diameter tanks, same dimensions as lp95s, and same dimensions as the 117. Weights and buoyancies are different, but not drastically http://www.indianvalleyscuba.com/services%20page/Tank%20Inspection/information/CYLINDER%20SPECIFICATIONS.pdf The 120 is a 7.25" diameter tank ...

For most of our shore sites (and many of the boat sites) visibility is worst on a low tide. Vis is also awful during winter storms, the closer you are to a river the worse it is. And during blooms which intermittently extend from March until about August. (no reliable way to predict these like tides...

A ghost of dives gone by

Might you need another pound or two of lead? I get water in my BCD when I dive so light that I am struggling to get the last of the air out. +1 Trying to squeeze out the last drops of gas from the wing by continually venting is the number 1 way lots of water goes in. If its not leaking air the wate...

Nice pics and write-up!
We always called that site to the east of the rock itself "Shangri-La". If you ever wanna try buddy boating, I could look into free weekends. But if you come all that way for cripes sake check the tank pressures before you leave the shop!

great article Bob

Welcome, I'm over in Kitsap so I don't go "north" like I think you're thinking of all that much. But if you want to try someplace in Hood Canal that is more my backyard and I'm happy to take new to me people there. I have a boat so I usually don't hit Sund Rock, but I'm flexible. Discover ...

Yea the last "big" charter to go there was the Swell or possibly the Mamro. Its a major effort to get there and the ferry out of Prince Rupert is brutally rough. a 12.5ft zodiac is no dive boat (I had one for years), a 17footer is not going to really go all that far either.

Sorry to hear about the medical issues, I will take the Faber 72 off your hands. Where are you located? I could get them Saturday

Hood Canal is dramatically improved over 2 yrs ago

Started noticing more and more with every dive myself
