don't wait for me, I'm late now

Hey OFDiver,
Janine said to say "hi!"

Hi!

so you're thinking you might make it up to MMM on the 27th? I would love to help you break in that new drysuit!

I'm in for both, probably can't make dive 3 tho. Who's in?

Thanks Brian and Jeanna for making this contribution to the saftey and fun of diving. As always, excellent class!

and a fantastic dive 1- with coulterboy and whoolegan - First time in recent memory that we've actually hit the water on time

Cool, see ya there!

Everyone is welcome to join us, just RSVP to me or BDub, or post up in the thread so we can make sure to have enough seats.

Looking forward to GM class this Monday- lots of people have indicated they'll be there! It's open to all, but if you haven't PM'd me or BDub or posted up, please do so. It helps to have an idea how many seats we'll need. Thanks!

I learned proper towing, and find the method taught in the class easier that even the pull cord a lot of people pull out of their pocket. Now that's one less piece of gear you need, and it's always available in an emergency. Also I had never practiced gas sharing on a scooter, and found it's actual...

MMM on Monday August 6, 2012 will be a little bit of a change from the regular routine. DIVE 1 is planned for 4:00 pm SPLASH sharp so we will have time for those who are interested to make their way to our first ever MGM (Mukilteo Gas Management) class at 6:00 PM. This is a free workshop on gas plan...

Every once in awhile one of the instructors here runs a free "gas management" seminar which might help you size tanks and any pony bottle for your chosen dive(s). Its been awhile so maybe one of them will offer one soon. As a matter of fact, there will be one soon. I heard it through the ...

A few of us MMMers teamed up on Bdub and talked him into doing a FREE (to you) gas management class! :taco: This Gas Management Workshop ( http://www.frogkickdiving.com/Gas_Planning_Boot_Camp.php ) is perfect for you if you haven’t had any prior exposure to gas planning and management: we’ll start w...

looks like you'll just have to come dive with us.

word on the street is nwbrewer might be out due to head congestion. I'm still in for both.

Have fun!

Dude, it's been a while...last time I dove with you, you asked me to marry you, then April thought you were asking her, then it started to get awkward...

I thought attendance was pretty decent, considering we forgot to post a thread!

Thanks, everyone. I decided a while ago to start writing "warts and all" trip reports. If I screw up, I will write about it. The "net is full of "textbook perfect" trip reports, with people gliding, hovering, and reading each other's minds. I'm just going to write about wha...

who messed up and let you post here?

(seriously, welcome back!)

Welcome to the addiction. Watch out for the MMM crowd- they're nothing but trouble.

You took the words right off my keyboard!

I'm out today. Didn't get my zipper redo, redone yet.

Ditto. A reg is a reg is a reg in my dive locker, and to color code things is just asking for an accident. Proper reg switching has to do with how you actually make the switch (procedure of turning on/off bottles, breathing, etc) and not with visual identification of one color or another. +100 Some...

His still has the original BDM. I think Fishstiq put a tizip in his.

I'm in the mood for two. (and one) (maybe two at dive three also) You still got 2 days to change your mood. :smt064 I'm actually getting more in the mood, now that I got my new Tizip installed, I'm looking forward to being reminded what it's like to actually stay dry on the inside. Plus, I heard th...

Jeff, take Richard's advice (I like camerone's too) and get a flood-tolerant reg. Not all are, and it's a high risk event for a slung bottle. Also, button pressure gauges perform poorly. Get a real SPG on a 6 in. hose. Check any of the many how-tos on stage rigging to see how to loop it back and ti...
