Re: Bottle Diver

I love near the Junkyard, so in equally a toilet diver. I will never buy replacement parts for any of my bathrooms from a retail outlet again.

Ask and the ocean shall provide.

Re: Relocating to Seattle

Welcome! As everyone has said, if I see too far, I get confused. Are you taking Tech 1 with Guy Shockey up north?

Re: This is embarrassing...

About Fundies..... the only required prep I got for Fundies, was experienced advice from Jeremy - to impress Koos, flip him the bird at 100', and do a CESA to the surface. Did I miss something?

Re: This is embarrassing...

Yeah ok, so that's what I always thought it was. I had a confused buddy one of these days, and that confused me. I wanted to take him down to 70, and he read that as 20.

Aside from the trivial answer of using a pen in one hand and writing it. :-P

There's a recently resurrected thread about that. From what I gather, it's not worth going there. But if you want, I'm up for it.

Re: re-breathers

Sorry. I take that back. I just read the thread. I didn't know who DUE was. :-) I still like the kid. Great kid. What Koos said. :-)

I thought "It's DUE" was someone else.

Re: re-breathers

I haven't read the entire thread because, it's too long, and frankly, boring. However, I am a big fan of DUE, and logged in to extend my support to him!

Also that profile picture... something about it just makes me want to value every word "It's DUE" drops here.

Re: Tech BC??

I personally try and add as much weight between the wing and the tank as possible - I would add a weighted STA to the mix to move a total of 12 pounds on your back. +1 on that DUI trim system (never used it myself - but everyone else I know raves about it). The real cheat code I use is, keeping a tw...

Re: For Sale: Condoms

They look like cheap knockoffs. That's why you're having trouble in them "It's DUE!". I have one rule for my dive gear. If it ain't made of delrin, I don't put it on my body. If you have delrin condoms for sale, I'm interested. 4XL size is just fine. 5XL preferred if you have any.

Re: For sale: Tech snorkel kit $60

Someone else can have it. I'm going to pass on this. I don't have a cert and I just don't like Jeremy's hardcore insistence on C-cards. It looked like a good deal. Not very many tech snorkels to come by around here.

FYI, since I'm a notable chronic abandoner. I'm getting out of office now, so I'll be there at 4:40 if not 4:30. I'll be at the shop from 4.

Re: Wacky Wednesday West – 03/26/14

I'm committed to Dive 2 (not three - have dinner plans.)

@annelaure - I can do Dive 1 splash at 5:00pm if that works for you. I can get out of work at 4, so earliest I can reach the site is 4:30. Also, welcome!
