Nevermind, I reread the post.

You are licking your fingers to activate them right?

Thanks! I see Todd from time to time and work with Nate's mom but rarely run into Nate since he got married and moved to Douglas!

Excellent!

The Scuba Tank

Know him well, Taught him to dive and mentored him (life, fire department, diving, etc) for along time.

He's a good guy but yea for somebody his size he doesn't like lions. And yes, the lions are a lot bigger and can be a lot meaner up here!

When were you in Juneau and who was the 20 y/o? I don't know many 20 y/o divers in Juneau.

I'd love to own that boat!

No problem, The bank has 40 grand you can borrow! Get on it!

Need 40 hour DAYS, just to please you guys. Granted my shop is small but you guys don't get the big picture. Dive shop owners have lives outside of the shop! We are in business to succeed. I agree completely that in order to do that we have to provide a high level of service along with being fun and...

I'm selling my boat to get something a little more camping friendly and a little less Diver friendly. Anybody want an awesome dive boat - this is it! Come up and check it out! I'll take you diving off it to prove it! 2004 Hewescraft 22' Searunner HT ET - Hardtop, Extended transom. 200HP Yamaha 4 Str...

85 in Juneau yesterday - new record high. similar today! I love it!

I'm sorry to see Salvo go but hope the successors the best. I don't see Halcyon as the bad guy here. Barry cleaned them out then setup shop making identical stuff the intellectual rights to the products belonged to Halcyon. It goes beyond the lights. Look at the reels and other stuff It's absolutely...

Copied this from another forum, some may be sold out by now. Stolen from Slick Deals Canon many of their waterproof (underwater) cases for Canon PowerShot Point & Shoot cameras on sale for $100 - $24 priority code 52509 = $76 with free shipping. Priority code is entered in cart, right above the ...

For the record more pixels is not necessarily better. Megapixels is mostly marketing unless you are printing posters. Compare the sensor size on the G10 0.43 cm² vs the Xti 3.28 cm² the xti will be way better in low light. The G10 is a darn nice camera, I wouldn't mind having one myself for know aro...

I only use Nikons One thing to keep in the back of your mind is that not all Cannon lenses will fit on all their cameras (a lens that fits a Rebel film will not fit on a Rebel digital) And Nikon is even worse (IMO). Nikon lenses might fit but won't AF. It's a classic Canon vs. Nikon argument. :chri...

I have one it's a great little camera. I started with it and moved to a 40D. Love them both. As far as housing it, If you want to shoot underwater it's a great choice but it's going to cost you more than you expect and the end result will be a camera that dominates your dive, it will be alot to swim...

I know a guy on another board that did it twice last week and 4 times so far this season. He's rangering up there for the summer.

Sorry to hear about your dad.

61 is not old! I'm only 38 but most of my friends and many of my dive buddies are mid-fifties.

See how she does in the pool and take it from there. Cold water may or may not be her thing but there's always the Caribbean (oh darn!)

Take it slow an make it fun!

It takes alot! Trust me! They don't like to die. Salmon a smack to the head and they are done not so with Halibut.

As far as Halibut size goes, I honestly thought twice about keeping that big one. If it hadn't been my kids biggest fish ever, it would have gone back. The big one's are the breeders and they need to stay! I prefer to keep the 20-40lb fish, they taste better anyway!

Dave - if I flew to your neighborhood, could we catch king crab on scuba and eat it that night? If you say yes, I'm booking a ticket. The Answer is - Maybe, I'll know later this month. The research boat is out right now doing the annual survey. If the numbers are good, we will be allowed to take Ki...

Saw about a 10 lb halibut just about 2 hours ago, it was cool sitting on the bottom about 2' from a nice big King Crab! We see them from time to time diving. Probably the biggest one I've seen was 150lbs. I have a buddy who saw one that he swears was in the 300lb range. I've never shot one, Not sure...

I've had a Halcyon Proteus 3 forever and it's been bulletproof.

I've currently got a Nite Rider LED - same as the Deep Outdoors unit. It's really nice and compact! I'm liking it alot!

Weezle Extreme + - I'm also a Weezle dealer! Along with Patagonia Wool 4 base layer

Or

4th Element Arctic - I'm also a dealer for them.

Both are fantastic products!

Quick disconnects are totally unnecessary for boys - solution looking for a problem. . Totally disagree! They make things really easy and less fighting to get all hooked up. Get in the suit and click you are hooked up. Also, I route the hose up the leg and have a hole cut in the Weezle to pass it t...
