Re: Underwater GPS
The position information is collected at the surface so it is not actually the same as the underwater position. You can do the same by towing a gps on the surface time synced to a camera carried by the diver.

Re: Heated vest and/or heated gloves
I think you will find our saltwater to be a balmy 42 to 52 depending on depth and time of year. In the summer it will be even warmer near the surface. Sometimes we can get a cold layer of freshwater at the surface in winter when we have a snow melt event. The snow melt mostly affects Hood Canal.

Re: San Diego dive club's?
I was contacted a few years back by someone from "Dive Animals scuba club" out of San Diego. They were contacting the Oregon Scuba Club about diving in this area. I don't know much about the club other than they have their own boat.

Re: More than a hobby?
Commercial diving is only the way to commute to work it is not the work in and of itself. Most commercial divers need a skill that people will pay them to perform underwater. There are however a lot of skills that people will pay to have performed underwater. In most cases the diving is an auxiliary...

Re: Dive Planning
Step one, think about just how much current you can handle. For most divers .25 to .5 kt of current is more than enough. This will change if you are doing a drift dive. When planning it is best to have an idea of the limits you do not wish to exceeded. Step two, find this book and read it. 2009 Paci...

Re: At Long Last: Octopus Hole
There is an engine block there some place also but divers keep moving it around with lift bags so it is not a constant land mark.

Re: At Long Last: Octopus Hole
Dave,
How old were the instructions you had? There was a floating platform there at one time. I think it has been gone for 6 or 7 years.
