Re: "Maybe you're not up on current events.....

Why you think it's "a lot better" to deploy from 30fsw as opposed to deeper in the conditions you describe? Why deploy at all under those conditions? The only reason I can think of is to avoid being hit by a boat, but I don't know of any with an 80' draft. So, you're spending more time at...

Re: Quality local dry-suit repair

I've had several done by Ron Akison at Adventures Down Under in Bellingham. If he's not on a dive trip and you call him in advance you can get a turn around time as little as a week in my experience. Price should be around or just under $300 for a zipper. I'm no expert but his work has always looke...

Re: Tacoma Equipment Dive on Saturday

Thanks Calvin, for the post. I have to admit it's nice to see more of what's going on inside your head and the thoughts behind the ToS you've made. I had a not very well focused response typed out, but I think airsix summed it up better than I can. I think we do all need to meet each other in person...

Re: Tacoma Equipment Dive on Saturday

To answer April's comments, Now with that being said there's a big difference between offering advice and being "pompous and rude". It's easy to miscommunicate on the internet, and people tend to forget that. The problem is that what is considered "helpful and informative" to a ...

Re: Tacoma Equipment Dive on Saturday

+1 to Rachael, Ben, and Bob (and anyone else I missed) You can only ask questions about things that you know are dangerous. I'd rather have someone give me advice about something unsolicited and risk offense than die because I didn't phrase my questions right or forgot to ask the right question. Now...

Re: Air travel gear confusion

Hey chris, I just got back from Monterey and I checked my drysuit, clothes, Christmas presents. I had a carry on for regs, bp/w, and light. I didn't have any problems but I took my light out so they could scan it separately and swab it, everyone was super nice about it and maybe took 2-3 minutes lon...
