I also thought he was a real doctor when I first met him. That's why he's not allowed back in Alaska......


Seriously, welcome to the board, you're gonna fit right in.

As many of you know, I absolutely love restoring and diving my vintage gear. The guys at 10:30 is diving a USD Jet Air, I don't have one yet, but I'll keep looking for one for a future project. I honestly don't know how those people in the 50's and 60's took the cold. As much as like double hose reg...

That's a great video. Thank you for sharing and welcome to the club.

If any of you are like me, you appreciate how the sport of diving has evolved over the past 7 decades into what it is today. I, myself, am always fascinated by the terminology we use and the origins of the gear we use. Dr. Sam Miller has written several articles on the history of diving, and some of...

E-Bay has a pair of Jets, size Large for $20 plus $18 shipping...

I haven't been able to dive with these guys as much as I want, but I did get in the water on Sunday night and then went for the boat ride to Magic Island yesterday. Here's Keith at Magic Island http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee468/sitkadiver/IMG_7905.jpg And Chris: http://i1229.photobucket.com/...

I can't help but get a little excited by the action of the divers entering the water, and then ...

I own a G10 and your pictures are better than mine..... How can that be? HA HA :angry:

Seriously, nice photos.

Found this stuff last weekend here in Sitka. I thought the Orange Crush bottle was cool. I'm sure it's common, but I still like that it had Centralia Wash. on the bottom. http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee468/sitkadiver/IMG_7697_zpsc8d3b4da.jpg http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee468/sitkadive...

Thank you, Scubie Doo -- but when you habitually dive with people like Scott, Bob and my husband, Peter, it's easy to stay humble. Yes, I'm using one InonD2000 strobe. The workshop last weekend was on lighting, so I was very pleased with the outcome of some of these shots, because they are the way ...

It's calles a belaying pin. Was driving myself nuts trying to recall the proper term. A diver named Mistral over on Vintage Scuba Supply gave me the answer:

I like the pen for size comparison, but where is Keith's toothbrush? He brought that to Redondo last week for sizing things up. Hopefully he is not using it after the dive???

He does have a sparkling white smile.

I found this bronze thing last night. At least I think it's bronze. It could be brass since it light color is shiny. I'm guessing bronze, however, becuase the green copper patina can be seen: People at work think it's some sort of line holder for a sail boat, but I have no idea. IMG_7736.JPG IMG_773...

Last night was a fun dive. It was also a learning experience for me. Dave and Dave Jr. scored some nice bottles. I've been focusing on the broken china patch behind the Forest Service boat, but I see now I need to move out in the middle and closer to the bridge. IMG_7730.JPG IMG_7733.JPG IMG_7732.JP...

My regards Curt.

I am very thankful that you're making a recovery. You presence on this board is very much appreciated and respected.

We all look forward to hearing more of your diving tales and experiences.

My best wishes to you and your family,

Dave Nelson
Sitka, AK

Why do you and Clay have to take all my work and make it hard for me to feed my babies? And the hammer thing, that was my idea. I should at least be getting some royalties. Anyway: Here are the lights of the bridge from the bottom of the channel(Guessing 25 feet). I could also see the moon through t...

Dave,

DO you realize that you're 210 psi over 5/3rds of 2400? I mean.... Like.... Really?

Just want you folks to know, that the channel in Sitka is nowq officially clean! Herb and Teka Helped me out last weekend, and now there is no reason for any of you big city types to come mucking around here looking for goodies - they're gone. http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee468/sitkadiver/IMG...

13 days...... YIKES!!!!

We better get in the Channel and make sure we get all the good dishes and bottles before the Seattle crew pilfers OUR dive site. I'm free tomorrow night after work.

That turned out very nice. I always get a little nervous when I drill holes in fiberglass, so I can imagine your thought process was something like... "measure 9 million times and then review before drilling...." ha ha :tomnic: Does that have a Volvo-Penta? My buddy has one in his glass pl...

Has anyone heard of this or used one. I would be very interested in some details from divers. http://shoeboxcompressor.com/products.html There was a thread started today on VDH, so if I hear more from those folks, I'll post it here as well. http://www.vintagedoublehose.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&am...

So on a sidebar: Dave and I were talking at his house about different dive spots for you guys try out. These two would be fair weather spots and would be a 2 hour or so run for Dave's boat, but it could be worth a day trip to hit Legina Island and Tava Is., both are right in front of Goddard hot spr...

Got to give a tip o' the hat whenever I see a diver in a wetsuit and snow in the same photo. That's my kind of diver.

Welcome to the club.

Thank You Keith.

I find your remarks especially touching knowing that you experienced a similar loss a few weeks ago.

Regards,

Dave
