I guess I should have been clearer, I heard Instructor insurance through PADI was expensive... I don't have any idea about DM insurance costs, but it should be cheeper than the Inst. prices.

I have so many dive dreams! Usually they start out as diving and ends up everyone is just walking around on the bottom - sans scuba gear... Sometimes I am on a dive boat and dream that I forgot my gear at the dive shop (that was my last dream) because my husband put all my gear on the boat...HUM

Did you get an answer for this question? (If no- Are you already a DM? )

thanks. Yes my husband is already scoping out camo onesies!

Its like a suburb! WAY out in the middle of nowhere houses built 4 feet away from the neighbor!

Did you get any dives in? Eugene skin divers usually go to florence to dive around there I think...

As some of you may know, I have been 'dry docked' for sometime now. The reason is that we are expecting a little diver as well. Our female diver is due on July 17th... So hopefully I can rejoin the diving world at that time, until then I will dive vicariously through all of you... I have discovered ...

We put a hot water 'hose' outside to rinse our gear when we re-plumbed our house! Its bliss!!!

OCEAN SHORES,WA While the ocean vessel 'Dawn Raider' was commercial fishing for dogfish, this Great White was hooked in the mouth but only resisted slightly for 15 minutes befor...

Did any of you TREKIES go to the OMSI exhibit when star trek was there? I remember going when I was like 13? Don't remember much, but I was sure it would come up on this post!?

I was debating posting, because I feel like I take SO much weight! But I haven't really fiddled with it much...and I like to be heavy... :bounce: Ok, USIA techniflex with weezle 26 lbs intergrated + ankle wts.

Hum, I don't really want to be 'that person' the keeps arguing, because I see your point Sounder. BUT, I do have enough air for my dive buddy (husband) and I find it kind of strange the idea of telling someone what size tank to buy based on them having to rescue you... [just saying] I do agree that ...

quite the battle to mention the Hood Canal's low oxygen issues, because "we've had enough downers about dead things on the beach." Cheers, Amanda I find this amusing that PEOPLE cause so many problems with the environment, but then don't want to read about it, because its 'a downer'! Thin...

Hum, sounds a little fishy!

I can't believe how clear the water was under the 'weeds'! YUCK! but COOL!
