Happy Birthday Calvin!!!

96 fun dives logged. Probably about 20-30 additional training dives that I didn't log. That is about my annual average.

2 dives so far in 2010!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the input. I fall into the camp of "it depends". I feel if he/she is controlling with diet, then I wouldn't worry about it, but if it is someone that uses insulin, that might be helpful to know in case of an emergency. Either way, it would not prevent me from ...

A question was raised a few days ago in the store and I wanted to throw it out to you all to see what you think. If you were diving with someone who was a diabetic, do you think it is important that he/she tell you? If you are a diabetic, should you (or do you) let your dive buddy know? If you were ...

Diverbob and I met at 0700 this morning to take advantage of the minimal currents on DIW. Predicted slack was 0745 and we dropped on the wall at 0800 and took off to the north in completely still water. Viz was a milky 15 fsw and water temp was a balmy 55 degrees. Ron...we dropped in about 30 minut...

We actually have a Scuba one close to our store. We put it out about 2 years ago, but it is still very popular.

Ready for an Intova yet?

Thanks Chris. They belong to one of my instructors. He was reunited with them last night.

It's strange that someone stole all of his gear and then just left it somewhere for a good samaritan to find. I'm glad that he got everything back, regardless. Happy Holidays! My guess is that the thieves didn't know what they were stealing, and then just dumped it because they didn't know what it ...

A couple of weeks ago, one of our instructors, Scott had all his regulators, computers, lights, camera and even his thermals stolen out of his truck, in front of his house. It has been a tough year for him because he has been unemployed. Luckily, his insurance would cover his stuff, but only to a po...

Woo Hoo!!! It WAS my instructor's dive gear! He already contacted the guy, and will be getting his stuff back shortly. What a great Christmas present!

You got a drysuit too??? Awesome! Looking forward to diving with you again soon!

Thank you! I already contacted him. We think it may be our instructor's equipment that was stolen about 2 weeks ago.

Last I heard, the Misty was in Oregon, operating as a whale watching boat. I know that Banditos was looking into purchasing the Hook, but the sale fell through. All this info was given to me 2-3 years ago. The Misty Fjord was a great boat. You actually geared up inside the boat (tanks and all) and g...

We had some great dives off the Mark V and the Dash. Last new year's eve we had a group on board and we were booked for this year too. Guess I need to make other plans. Thanks Mike and his team for a lot of fun dives. PS...I miss the Misty and the Hook too. I did my first boat dive off the Hook, man...

It can be cold...I can live with that. The sun is shining and that is very nice.

As long as it doesn't snow, I will be happy.

My cat-girl who breeds cats says you should check...

Every foot is different but here is a size chart that typically works for those looking to purchase fins to dive with heavy-soled drysuits boots. In men's sizes... smaller than a 6=medium size 6-9=regular/large (these are the same size, each manufacturer has sizing differently) Size 9-12 XL Size 11-...

Tom...You and all my friends in Lakewood have been on my mind. Like everyone out there, I was shocked and saddened what happened yesterday.

As always, a great dive report and beautiful photos! Thanks!

Hi Everyone, One of my instructors had equipment was stolen from his truck in Auburn last night. If you are shopping on Craigslist, or you see it walk into a dive store, please call King Co. Sheriff Dept, or me. Scubapro MK17/S555 Tusa Platina RS-110 with Suunto gauge Apex XTX100 with Apex Egress Oc...

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone- we're making Turkey Tacos at my house tomorrow...... SWEET!!!!!!!! Everyone to Josh's tomorrow. I'll bring beer! :occasion5: I feel very thankful for my husband, son and family...all who are healthy and happy. Tom and I are blessed with good friends, our dive business,...

One of our instructors has come up with the Padi Pro-Jedi comparison chart. It is really funny, and I am unable to give it the justice that he does.

Is it this one? http://www.adorama.com/UWINSN5000.html It looks like a nice design, but for the most part for a general purpose light wide angle isn't what I'm looking for. Yes. This light isn't for everyone, but for a diver that wants something better than a UK Light Canon for general use, this is...

I got this light from the Intova distributer and he asked me to dive it, and tell him what I think. It is a 500 lumens and a LED. I have been a little disappointed with the UK product lately, especially my Light Cannon. I was looking to upgrade to a canister light, but I decided to try it and see th...

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. Unfortunately, didn't get to dive tonight, but doing lots of diving this weekend in Jervis Inlet with Kal and Ann!
