Re: Jan 7th Dive in Port Townsend

Dusty, are you still planning on going? The guy hosting this had to drop out due to a death in his family.

Re: New Years day dive @ Tides Tavern!

I wouldnt mind diving there a few more times, if the exit got squared away.

The food there is really good.

Re: New Years day dive @ Tides Tavern!

if all of us had chipped in 30$ each, we could have bought it...

After the fight to get out of that water, I'd have paid 30$ :)

Re: Hi All, Another Newbie

For instruction, there are many great instructors in the area. I use Bob Bailey (Grateful Diver). Tanks, go with Steels, as AL tanks go positive buoyancy when empty, steels dont. Thats why you see so many AL tanks for sale. BCD soft weights, the killer best deal is on ebay, strgazer is the seller, 7...

Scuba Pro Tek BCD for sale..

I was debating keeping it, but I really do like the BP/DUI W&T better, so selling it. Its a Scuba Pro Tek (not the backplate type), all the bell and whistles. Air 2, weight integrated, crotch strap, quick disconnect shoulders, etc. 300$ Nearly new, with maybe 10 dives on it. http://seattle.craig...

Re: Foot heavy on trim

Can also scootch your tank abit higher in your BCD too. But I carry 4 pds of trim weight in the trim pockets on my BP.

Bob taught me the superman move, which I find given I wear those heavy ass Rocket Fins, helps to counter being foot heavy as well.

Dalcodiver day again 12/31

While I was originally planning on hitting Sund Rock with Mongo, MZ, and KeithBol, just as I was checking the board before leaving, I spot a post from dalcodiver (Bill) about another boat dive. Hmm, I think to myself, I can always do Sund Rock another time, boat dives dont come up too often, plus i ...

Hey Jeff :) Slack is supposed to be at 10:34 am, I was planning to be there on the dock at 10:00. I have not dove (dived?) in the harbor, but the currents have always looked very mild when I've been hanging out on the waterfront... From what I have read, the Burton is doable from the TIdes' dock.

Re: New Year's Eve dive?

Stopped by tacoma, only way to isolate this is to dive. I have a set of dry gloves now, so if still leaks,its valve, if not, its all good.

I'll plan on hitting Hoodsport @8.

I dont have an undie camera yet, Bill probably does, I dunno. Space was rather at a premium with 3 of us there. I dont have the photographic gene, my pics generally suck monkey crap.
