Pretty cool, I stumbled across some deep sea merchandise here and there on the web. It will be nice to see some first hand.... :partyman: Just be aware that there are two companies with similar names ... Deep See is a large company that builds moderate-quality recreational gear. Deep Sea Supply is ...

What about the guys driving up from Oregon? :dontknow:

I would think that an evening meeting Saturday night would either force them to get a hotel room or not get back home until "0:DARK:30" the next morning.

Hmmmmm.....I just happened to stumble onto this thread and wanted to toss in my two cents worth. For some reason the poll won't let me in, but that's OK since I was going to check "other" anyway! I have several sets of wings that I use on a regular basis, all of which I have found to be we...

Right now, (and the situation won't last long), I have ALL of the Saturdays in July open. I'd like the club members to reach consensus as soon as possible regarding which Saturday would work out best for the most people wanting to attend, and I'll be there. Perhaps Calvin can put together a poll or ...

Wow.....Bob.....I am extraordinarily flattered to be mentioned as someone that has influenced your diving. In my opinion the influence has gone both ways and I consider myself enormously fortunate to number you among my friends.


Best regards.....as always!

Re: Salvo

Has anyone heard if Salvo is planning on staying in business through this ordeal? I think I would be hesitant to purchase a piece of their gear without knowing the company will be around for the long haul. It's my understanding that Salvo intends to stay in business. Their lights are top quality an...

You're welcome! I cut out the final paragraph from the article. It was about the charter operation that we used to use when we would dive the Diamond Knot. It was called "Soundwave Scuba" and their dive boat was the "Misty Fjord". They are now out of business, so I thought that i...

OK - avoiding Sundays at Tom's request - RIGHT NOW it looks like I have every Saturday in July open. They will fill up fast, however, (vacuums usually do!) so let me know which one works for the club and I'll be there.

Myrtle Edwards? What's THAT?

Seattle would be just fine! I'd just head down I-5 instead of I-405....no problem!

Question: Will getting my tech/rebreather gear up to your office be simple or will it be a monstrous undertaking? Elevators and hand-trucks would both be good things! HA!
