Northwest Dive Club

Uhmmm... Reported in the Orlando paper and it washed ashore on a Florida beach... Yup, no where near Southern California.

I'm heading there next week... thanks for the vis report!

Obviously not the best site on the Sound, but a dive site none the less. I actually bought some materials to put out a navigation course there and I have been trying to maintain the lines to the wrecks. Oh well... I know of one of the area's instructors that will have to find a new spot to do all of...

As a 'small percentage' of this board, I do not apologize for my opinion, but I guess I will keep it to myself from now on. I guess not everyone is ready for a dose other people's view of reality now and then.

I'm having time a hard time mustering some sympathy for this guy now. He decided to do a high risk dive while under the influence of an illegal substance. Following his untimely demise, he then put others at risk for the recovery of his body. I'd probably sound a little more callous mentioning that ...

So now a Gem is a rebreather?

Yes, they are horrible creatures. If found, please contact me immediately and I will rid them for you!

I know... the whole "Invasive Species" thing... but how awesome would it be...

Darn phone... When you are properly weighted, if you take your BP/W off you should be more than positive, even with a W&T system on. If you are trying to climb into an inflatable, you would need that extra line anyhow for a weight belt.

Just the dil... I'm about the same with you on the O2.

That's a killer for your regs... I guess I'm spoiled when I can get 6 or 7 dives on a hp23.

I find it funny when people don't get a fill that exceeds the rated pressure of a tank. I actually get upset at times because it shows that the person filling the tank isn't paying the kind of attention that they should. If you want a good fill, leave it over night and top it off the next day. Water...

Every time you attach your crotch strap, your buddy yells "looks like there's plenty of room there!"

I dove the pinnacle on Sunday, and I was really surprised how horrible vis was to 35 feet.

He's Canadian, so let's keep all the secret squirrel stuff in this topic to a minimum. We don't need him selling all this information on the Canadian Black Market.

Mike Nelson wears his mask on his forehead. End of discussion.

I don't know... I think it goes well with this thread...

Wasn't it in cove 3?

Paint a viking lady wearing bikini armor who is fighting a giant sra serpent on the side, then we'll talk...

These are SDVT-1 and DEVRON-5 guys. All that secret squirrel stuff from the 70's and 80's. One of him even worked with the Glomar Explorer. Even though he doesn't give specifics he does give good stories.

Diving articulated hardsuits was a major bitch. I'd imagine with more advanced gyro's today, they are alot easier. Fly by wire even better. Wow, you dived hardsuits? Salvage diving, or what? Cant talk on specifics of those days, but were deep water rescue operations. You'll have to read between the...

You will soon find that switching between OC and CCR (albeit SCR) is a bad thing. If you are going to go in the rebreather direction, stick with someone you are comfortable with and who can do ALL of your training. Sorry if I am sounding blunt, but I'm starting to see a scary trend here.

I have owned 4 drysuits: Henderson Neoprene (I'll never buy another neoprene suit), DUI CF 200 (bulletproof, sold it after I moved to Hawaii), Bare HD Tech Pro (ordered a custom suit that never fit well, even after I sent it back to the factory twice) and a Pinnacle Freedom (nice suit, but "shr...

Prior to purchasing it, I did check to see if the rEvo would fit in the hack (sidecar).

Sounds good, Jim. you will have a good time from a photog's POV =) I vote we all kinda stick together and just have designated buddies just in case of an OOA situation or something. almost none of the area is overhead and it maxes out ~45-50fsw , so I think we will all have fun just pacing ourselve...
