The Michelin Man test did find a leak in the wrist seal, so it was semi-successfully. A slightly less safe Idea would be to do it underwater clipped into a boey anchor...we decided against that one. I wish I had a pic, and it what I did worked better, but Jake and I dove Lake Washington a month or s...

I am looking at the same deal for working on my beetle: Home depot had a propane heater for a 1100 sq ft area for $99, and the tank was $27. We need to get it filled, but I'm told 20lbs is about $10...so that'll heat for 10-12 hours. The kerosene lamp did the same off 2 gallons of karosene, and I th...

I hope today was as good of a day for everyone else as it was for me, not only did I have gradutation (newest western alumni) but my new UNDERGARMENT CAME IN!!!! : D although, I tried it on, and it seems a little short...it's a jumpsuite style and I get a HE-llo if I lift my arms over my head or beh...

Get yourself an old rusty van. Strip out the back and buy a few cans of Hurcules Bed liner, coat the botom, and maybe a foot up the walls, finally, drill out some drain holes in the bottom. Totally waterproof and will take a beating (from what I've heard), so you can hose out the van when it gets di...

see that's what I love about walmart, cake and a great story! You just can't find that anywhere else.

I need to make it out again, had fun last time...and I think I owe someone a crow bar that I may or maynot have lost. What time? I have trouble getting up too early on the weekends....

I was under the impression that you don't want to store it with the zipper closed, so I hang mine on the wide shouldered drysuit hanger with the zipper open and let it be.

LCF, is the loss of motion worth saving a couple hundred dollars?

So.. I am weighing the benefits between the 3 pinnacle suits: Freedom, Evolution, and Evolution 2 I need feedback on these features: Si Tec Low-profile valves vs. their regular valves How important is a zipper flap? Nylon/polyester outer layer vs. 220 cordura (really necessary?) how inconvenient is ...

OR does the FAT you gain make you more buoyant and you have to add weight??? I prefer not to think of it this manner, us bigger divers are just more hard-core. Sure you DIR guys back everything up and dive the same config, spending hard-earned scuba bucks on industry leading gear...but I have physi...

I wish they still made cartoons like that.....
I watched Armageddon this weekend:
Steve Buscemi: no wait, I saw this one, this is where the coyote straps himself to a rocket and sits in the sling shot right? 'cause I remember it didn't work out too well for the coyote.
NASA: we have better rockets.

Trilam with 3 or 400g undergarment (not sure which)
I'm at 255
I wear 22 on the belt and another 10 in a ss plate and STA
Beer:Ziegenbach, but it's only available in texas, up here is a Heffewiezen

1 119

I love my 119, it's hp, so even if I can't get an hp fill, i still have 100cf of air. I'd say go nitrox, its worth it and if you get a bigger tank, you'll want longer bottom times.

I like the cheesy early 90's si-fi/action films: Total Recall Judge Dred Demolition Man Abyss is my fav though, I was stoked to find it in the $5 bin at walmart! MST3K...i miss it. Austin has a theater called the Allamo Draught House, does Mr. Sinus Theater every other friday and saturday night....i...

So, with winter fast approaching, I'd immagine more and more people are thinking of going dry (i can get a new drysuit if I can find funding for winter quarter tuition). So I thought a good thread (maybe future sticky) would be what people love/hate about their suit. Maybe; Brand/model: Style: Loves...

worth a shot, if not, we'll watch the progress, then all pitch in and offer one of the pipe fitters some cash to add it... "oops, I thought you told me to put it there sir...we'll it's in, we might as well leave it."

So, learned about this place in geography today. We happened to have our earthquake leacture, which went well with San Jose's 5.6 last night.
It's the US's site, shows a map of all the recent quakes:

welcome to lake diving, it's fun if your in a spot where you can feed perch...not the most ecological thing to do, but in a man-made lake, I don't think it matters much ( I am refering to lake travis in Texas, havn't dove lakes here yet)

I have heard nothing but good things about the flower gardens, it's a overnight trip as I understand it, since it's about 100 miles out. The freshwater in central and west texas is all mud-bottom and you will think we have crystal clear water up here.

I aggree with TCwestby; I like Smokey point. I ran into the same thing out in anacortes last week, a guy did eventually come from the back, but there wasn't anyone in the front of the store and I found that odd...

If they waited untill 3, they would miss the early bird special

Do I get to use it? I'm only 24, but I have the memory/attention span of a 90-yr old...i forget things...like....so did an underwater pumpking carving contest today at...wait, where was it...started with an m....come to think of it, where am I.. OH! I need to be studying!

My wife's roomate before she joined the military was a stripper. It was intersting to learn the ins and outs of that industry, and sad at times.
EDIT: forgot to add, at $400-500 a night though, she was pretty well off.
