And that coating is 100% O2 safe? Maybe its the same as the global rust inhibitor but I don't honestly know?

I believe the reaction converts ferrous-oxide to iron-phosphate but can't vouch for the other ingredients.

There's always Ospho which isn't that uncommon at hardware and paint stores.

Also if she's a habitual user of q-tips to clean her ears she'll need to stop aggressive cleanings with them. It may pack wax further into the ear causing problems. It also wipes away the protective earwax and abrades the surface tissue making it more vulnerable to infection. Between windsurfing and...

I sorry to read this but extremely happy to not be ironing a shirt to wear to a funeral. Hanging up your fins seems like a small price to pay when you are able to enjoy so many other things. I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to dive and train with you. Hopefully you'll do a better job of kee...

Looks like OC dubs with stages from the video. https://youtu.be/fizpqmDhGr0 Russian explorers set world record for deepest under-ice dive MOSCOW -- The Russian Geographical Society says two of its explorers have achieved the deepest dive ever recorded below ice. The organization said the dive to 102...

I'm listening to a podcast that has a LAPD diver discussing an evidence dive in the La Brea Tar Pits. I've heard some crazy stories but this takes the cake. The rest of the This is Criminal episodes are pretty good too.

I've heard that Offer Up is the new Craig's List alternative for fencing stolen goods, might we worth watching it too.

I'm shocked and dismayed. Lynn was one of my favorite people to dive with. I was just planning to introduce a friend who needs a dive mentor to her since I've been dry lately. Condolences Peter, she deserves words far more eloquent than what I can generate at the moment.

It looks like many of the anti-Shell kayak flotilla is staging out of Seacrest Park this weekend. If you've got plans to dive somewhere else might be a better bet this weekend.

You'll have to clear customs to get back to VM. After hours they'd have to call customs to come out. You're still hours and hours away. In the case of diving at God's Pocket you have the time while you transit back to Port Hardy to figure out your destination and how to get there. Flight time for a...

Assuming you can actually get a ferry out of Nanaimo you are about 9hrs away from the chamber. The north island air ambulance resources are not what you'd imagine/expect. Not getting bent is a better option but Airlift Northwest's Seattle or Juneau based Lear 31 are pretty speedy (two hour flight f...

I think that is defiantly a case of not letting perfect be the enemy of good enough. Just make sure that you have appropriate marine components like a spark arrester on the air intake, marine starter, marine alternator, etc. so you don't blow anything up.

Looks like a tender tender to me.

What are your plans on the Pacific Side? Learning to surf again, but mostly just being a beach bum. Todos Santos I assume? Never made it out there myself but I understand it can be nice. An option that hasn't been presented but is worth considering is going to see the grey whale calves at Bahia Mag...

Sounds like cool dives but aren't the SoCal oil rigs a fair bit North of San Diego? I'm aware of rigs between Long Beach and Santa Barbra but that's a long boat trip from San Diego.

Might be a good time to go dig up some before and after shots of the Edmonds oil pier too.

Cool! What's this upgrade get you?

Seattle Marine next to the ballard bridge. SeaMar is actually around Commodore Way West of Fisherman's Terminal. The Nickerson/Emerson St. overpass above 15th Ave. is currently being replaced so getting on and off 15th is a bit tricky. If you already there take a look at the Victorinox net knives, ...

A family member was involved in drafting the first terrestrial habitat conservation plan in Washington about fifteen years ago. This is a very new and infrequently used environmental planning strategy that, unless things have changed, may yet to be applied to an aquatic environment. It's probably be...

I didn't mention that I planted hops this spring too. I harvested nearly a pound each of dried Cascade and Goldings from my first year bines. They should produce even more next summer. I recently transplanted some large root cuttings from very well established Centennial and Horizon plants that I he...

So this thread has documented the beginning of a new hobby for me. I pressed 34gal. of cider in October, turned the grapes from my yard into pyment , and just brewed an all grain oatmeal stout yesterday which is my first beer at home with my BIAB system . The meads I discussed earlier in the thread ...
