I can bring a spare reg-set for Thursday or Sunday. What do you need? Din, yoke, primary & octo? I have extras and will config to order!

Fear the Gojira-star!

I am more concerned about the inevitable rise of Mecha-OchreStar, the ultimate predator!

It's been 8 years since the Fukushima radiation plume smashed into the west coast of North America. Makes sense that the sea stars would start coming back now that the radiation levels are decreasing. Fukushima has nothing to do with this topic. The measured radioactivity from Fukushima is tiny com...

I'm in for this week. Redondo works for me.

I plan to join the fun. I'll bring Coffee!

I am in this week!

Much better date. The first weekend in August is Seafair so other parties and events were conflicting!

Probably 30 feet at Day Island Wall today. Might have been more than 30 but there were too many wolfeels to see any further!

Squid egg mass. Hundreds of individuals all stick their eggs in a big cluster. You can see them do it after dark on occasion.

Hey Fritz, let me help you to direct this problem to Microsoft to get this properly investigated by the right folks. I use run the compatibility team at Microsoft and can ask the right engineers to investigate. You just need to Send Feedback from your PC having the issue. This is the best method to ...

Derek, Vaidhy, and I had a great dive together. Low tide at the start, rapid incoming tide at the end of the hour. Not a really strong current but it sure did stir up the Salad on the way up the beach. My camera looked like SwampThing and I spend 15 minutes picking the vegetation from the nooks, cra...

Well I arrived. Anyone else gonna show?

I will plan on being there.

I think yours is a SiTech Skeleton model and a bit different than in the video. Can you flip over the external valve part and share a pic? There may be a screw to remove on that side. Worst case you can buy a new inflator if it's too worn out: https://www.diverightinscuba.com/drysuitsundiesaccessori...

If you peel off the rubber decal there is a hex nut that releases the spring and the oring. Probably the oring is split and leaking. Clean it with vinegar and a toothbrush pop on a new oring and ply it with silicone Lube. Superglue the decal back on the button. Good as new.

Just buy a new one or take it apart to clean and Lube with a new oring. This is a very simple DIY repair anyone can probably do themselves.

This is a textbook case of scubafreude!

Sounds like it was a great get together last weekend! I was really looking forward to joining the fun and do my first Deception Pass dives, but I had to leave town for a funeral instead. I'm loving the pictures, and hope to make up there soon.

Hey Phil! It was great to meet you earlier this month in God's Pocket. Welcome to NWDC! Maybe we'll get you to join us for some diving in Puget Sound one day soon.

Cheers,
Dave

I could use a ScubaPro S600 2nd stage. Mine is about 18 years old and the plastic body is now degraded and cracking. If you can pick out the cleanest of the two and share a picture, I'll take it if its in good shape. I can take a pic over the weekend, They're in near perfect shape. You will however...
