Hi Ann - First of all, kudos to you for recognizing that proper weighting is very important. I suspect that your undergarments may be the culprit. Drysuit undergarments are designed to provide maximum insulation while holding the least amount of air possible. The more air a garment holds, the more w...

I'm sure you know this, but isn't your MOD 103fsw for EAN30?

Hi Jeff - Wow - it's great to see you here! You know I love Jack's Diving Locker! It's the site of our annual "TV People Go Diving" trip. This year we'll be visiting for 2 full weeks. While I love diving in the Puget Sound, your shop provides the best tropical dive experience I ever had. I...

Hi Doug - This is an excellent topic. I'm glad to see you thinking "outside the box" to be able to assist in the future. As mentioned, the numerous devices connected to the reg make a "cut the tank off" approach tricky. However, you're really onto something here. Divers in a resc...

Yeah, if everybody else gets caught in a thermonuclear attack, I'm down with the 130's!

Hi - We visited the dog park today and I walked over and took some pictures. The Oil Dock is completely gone above water. Here's a panoramic shot showing the site; http://farm1.static.flickr.com/194/3264037235_420038d7d8.jpg?v=1234133528 Also at http://www.flickr.com/photos/edm81363/3264037235/ And ...

I'm on the PS3, mainly Resistance2 right now. (logged in as edm81363)

And we just got a Wii, so Wii Sports has been big.

I was at a friends house in Reno last week and played one of the COD titles there- looked like Baghdad. That was a lot of fun.

Nice report. I made a video for Jack's from some footage we shot there in October;

Were you diving with Jack Ortiz? He's from here...

I saw this book at Bubbles Below this morning and they said they're ordering some.

Hi Metal Man - You've discovered that the tables penalize you for multi-level dives. To determine pressure groups for these dives, you can use something like the PADI eRDP-ML or the Wheel. (rest of the board chuckles and shakes their heads.) I assume you are diving your computers profile. If you can...

Hi there - I think you should call some shops and verify your rental figures. Even the tank price you quote seems high to me. I rented at first and all of my gear came to about $60 for a 2 dive day, or $96 for the whole weekend, which included free fills of the tanks. Then again, you could spend som...

I contacted Senator Hobbs this morning and asked him to pass along his support.

I'm always easy to spot - I'm the guy with the 4 foot long mask strap.

Anybody up for a north end dive this Friday afternoon / evening?

Hi all -

I'll be at EUWP/BHUT at 7 looking for a buddy for a couple of dives. I'll be in a silver Honda Odyssey van with a yellow ducky on the dash. I can be reached at 425-239-4414...

I'm also interested in diving tomorrow late afternoon...

Jake -

Thanks so much for the dive this afternoon. I really enjoyed the dive and appreciate you accommodating my request!

Regards,

Ed

Jake -

I'll dive with you at 2:30!

-Ed
(sent you a PM)

Sorry, BHUT is "Bruce Higgins Underwater Trail". I try to call it that now instead of EUWP.

I'd love to dive with you guys on Saturday. What time are you meeting up?

I come up with slack at 1719 on a +1.2 tide. Low tide is at 1433, so it should be an interesting time to dive!

-Ed

Hi -

I need a buddy for Saturday morning dives. BHUT or Muktileo work for me, or Cove 2...

Slack is at 0656 with a tide of +8.1. Next max ebb is at 1237 with a current of .48kts predicted.

I'm only OW, so we're limited to 60fsw, but I could really use the dives!

Hi Jake -

Sure, I could just do one dive tomorrow - better than nothing unless someone else really wants to get 2 dives in tomorrow!

I'll send ya a PM.

-Ed

Hi -

My buddy can't make our planned Friday afternoon dives - anybody interested in a couple of dives? I'm located in Mill Creek but am flexible and have the day off...

-Ed

I'd like to dive BHUT on Saturday, but I'm interested in the afternoon slack, which should be around 5:19pm. Unfortunately, timing it for a 2 tank dive means splashing right around a -0.1 low tide. If anybody's interested in buddying up for these dives, feel free to contact me! -Ed in Mill Creek 425...

Hey Jeff -

Sent you a PM about 26APR dive...

-Ed

I'm still looking for buddies for Saturday, 26APR. Two dives in the morning and/or two dives later that afternoon would be great!
