Re: Hollis Yellow Tip 2XL fins for sale or trade

You can move the strap one slot closer.
I did that to my 2XL Hollis fins and they worked perfect I felt the regular XL size was a little too tight.

Princeton will take care of your directly.
I have had them replace flooded lights a number of times and broken switches a few times.

Re: Jorsted Creek Access

I have asked a couple of the WSA board members a few times to look into this and talk to the land owners.
So far I don't think they have done anything.

Hopefully the fishermen get wind of the bill as they have the numbers that could get this stopped right away.

Re: Bill Restricting Access to WA Rivers and Shorelines

Fox island west wall and Octopus hole maybe closed off also?
I hope the paddlers can raise the alarm.

Can anyone make sure the Washington Scuba Alliance gets on this ASAP?

Dive show/H2O show in Seattle/Tacoma

Last year the H2O show was.......not good (From what I hear I didn't go sounded like it was tiny) Do you think this year will be better? I don't know why we have to have such a poorly run show in this part of the country. Now maybe we can't match the Scuba Show in Long Beach in terms of numbers but ...

Re: Harper Pier / Barbara G

Did they build some easier access down to the beach?
If I remember from the 1 time I went there it was a climb down.

Re: Titlow piling removal? Giant barnacles removed...

replaced with an artificial reef, at least that was the last info I heard. Metro Parks would know. Nice I didn't know that -- Hopefully that's still on track -- Given how the state is with disturbing the critters they shouldn't be allowed remove habitat and not replace it! We don't need to lose any...

Re: Getting drysuit experience advice

I really like the idea of you taking a class and also playing in the pool with the gear. The tips you can pick up from an instructor or dive buddy that has done a lot of drysuit dives will make the whole experience of learning to dive a drysuit much easier/faster/safer. If your in the Vancouver area...

Re: Sea star die-off

When I dove Redondo this last Saturday (south bottle field area) I noticed a TON of little brittle stars. They must not be affected by disease and increasing in population. Another diver commented that is sure seemed like there was a massive increase in barnacles -- I wonder if sea stars ate those a...

Re: Jorsted Creek Access

Lame - I think I have a good 50 dives at Jorstad.
I wouldn't even be that upset if they charged me for beach access to dive there.

Can the Washington Scuba Alliance do anything in this regard to help show Hamma Hamma how to protect their oysters but allow divers to dive?

Re: Bonaire travel/hotel recommendations

I agree with Georgia. Just got back from Den Laman a couple weeks ago. (3rd stay there) Another advantage with their package is you pick up and drop off your rental truck at the airport -- so you don't have to pack on the shuttle bus or taxi. I also give a big +1 on it being a smaller resort and its...
