Re: Davidson Rock, 5/17/09

especiall with regards to anchored boat/no tender, and sites that are unknown, stacking deck in your favor is never a bad idea... ;) (and youve already got the scoot... heck, make peter tow it around for the dive)

Re: Bad day to be a squid! (and other photos)

isn't the anemone throwing up ulva lactuca (AKA sea lettuce)? I can't quite tell in the picture but it looks suspiciously green (I've heard that soft green stuff that 'gets on everything at end of the dive' called kelp twice now in a week, which is not correct to my limited knowledge)

Re: PNW Scuba gets some press

cove 2.. we'd been out on a charter before but not been able to dive due to 1' vis, so I knew she dove, they wanted a chance for her to see an octopus under a 'wreck' close to seattle....

his spit is radioactive? or maybe he needs to half the amount of betadine in his counterlung soak solution ;)

Re: suppose you had some mildewy stuff growing in your mask

thats okay, no picture needed ;) thanks for all the great advice everyone, and all the options. i think i'll start with the mild bleach solution and see how that works. fwiw, i do soak the mask in fresh water and always air dry it. the only spot that has mildew in it is a tight little crevice right ...

Re: suppose you had some mildewy stuff growing in your mask

rinse it well with fresh water after every dive... taking it out of your gear bag and letting it dry is also quite effective :) if I think the water was especially nasty, I'll splash the inside with rubbing alcohol for a quick surface kill after washing. if you need to, taking it in the kitchen and ...

HUGE KUDO's goes to Dan, Mike and Cindy... I talked to the producer friday evening about the story (she had a spot that needed filling), and put her in touch with Dan and Walter. Unfortunately Walter (Jaccard) was out of town so couldn't join in the fun on monday. I also emailed Mike begging him to ...

Re: PNW Scuba gets some press

both the producer (jennifer austin) and the reporter/news anchor (denise whitaker) are certified divers. i think you can expect to see more cool diving stories on komo from time to time ;)

Re: PNW Scuba gets some press

yes, denise went underwater with us. our aim was to show her the honeybear, but vis was 5' at best. mike was available to dive with us, which was great, as he has also been diving the wrecks out here for a long time and photographing/videoing the wrecks. and before anyone say 'is he tech?' shallow o...

For better or worse (we don't get to preview or really have any say other than our interview - so I could look pretty stupid and have no control over widespread humiliation) it will be online at KOMO TV web site after it airs.

Wreck divers on KOMO News after "LOST"

Watch Dan Warter (Romer Treece) and myself along with a couple other buddies hopefully not make TOO much of embarrassment of ourselves on a short KOMO news feature following the finale of LOST on Wednesday night at 11pm. The story is about local divers who utilize the latest in diving equipment and ...

Re: Ling hunters at Les Davis Saturday morning.

thanks for the detailed report so we can keep our eyes peeled...

another use for scooters... zoom ahead and 'scare' away the fish! (hard to throw rocks far enough underwater to warn away the lings)

old diamond knot footage

For those who were not lucky enough to get to dive her in her "prime"... This is why I think documenting the wrecks is so cool... they don't last forever, they change, get better, get flatter, etc... Its neat to see what something looked like 10, even 20 years ago... Its fun to be able to ...

Re: The Wreck of the Al-Ind-Esk-A-Sea 5/03/09

really old and low quality footage of the Al, but if you can suffer through the first minute and not snort coke out your nose when you see our gear, there is some solid footage of the giant machinery on the deck, with a diver in the screen for perspective
