I'm out by gig harbor. Hood canal or Redondo sound good to me. Got to get a fill from Tacoma scuba in the morning though

... store for the better prices. Now, if they'd put the store over here in Gig Harbor, they could have upped the Narrows Bridge traffic enough to solve it's toll woes <grin>

Update: Went out for a walk with the wife and dawgs and took a look at it. My guess is that it's intended as a boater-in-the-water safety ladder, but it *could* be used by divers... The ladder is anchored solidly to the pier float. There are 3 rungs, spacing is adequate for boots (but no fins, those...

I have to stop off at the post office after work so I will swing by and take a look at the ladder.

Those uncapped uprights look a dangerous to me. I am surprised they allowed that on a public dock.

Sure that's a dive ladder? Or is it just for boat people who fall in to be able to get out? I have not been to Skansie park in maybe 2+ yrs so need to go for a walk there sometime soon. Nope, I am not sure. I have to go down and take a look myself, the spousal unit is not a diver and wouldn't know ...

What is involved with providing compressed air? Hi, At the low end Jim Sheldon sells a great little compressor with filtration for about $2200 made from surplus stuff. New commercial run about $3000+. Then you need to watch the filtration. If you want to fill tanks fast it gets expensive fast. Brian

a sig worthy steal...
