Re: Getting started on boat dives.
Done. Replied to both. I'm in the middle of a rescue class, so won't be diving ALL that much for 2 weeks, but I can always make time for dives.

Re: Getting started on boat dives.
Thanks for all the input. I was out with the flu last 2 weeks and on-call later. I'm catching up on this thread and will be taking up many of you on your boat dive offers. :-)

Re: Buoyancy of lead
Koos, I like the sound of that! I'll bet you won't need exposure protection or much of anything once those adamantium implants are complete.

Hollis computer at Cove 2 after WWW
Taking a shot. I can't spot my primary computer after the first WWW dive on wednesday. Must have left it on the side-walk while gearing up. Completed the dive with the backup, but if anyone spotted it, do let me know. Also, if that doesn't show up, I want a super-basic (read: cheap) computer if anyo...

Re: Looking for buddy to practice a couple of drills with
Thanks for all the outpouring of helpful dive buddies! I didn't expect it. I'll take you up on those offers soon. I do plan to incorporate a few of my basic exercises today. Regulator swaps, breathing without a mask, proper weight trimming (I'm noticing all newbies are a little overweighted and so w...

Re: Looking for buddy to practice a couple of drills with
That's awesome Ppants. Any excuse to use the LP80's which are never used after my pool sessions ended. :-) Let's do it. My thoughts resembled the same thing actually. I'll take Richard's advice and might do shallower too. I saw this video on Netflix called "Surviving the Cut", and I believ...

Looking for buddy to practice a couple of drills with
Hi there, I was recently on a current dive with the marker buoys, and I realized I panicked (despite training) when a strong surf pulled the reg out of my mouth and flooded my mask and was wobbling me around. Thanks to an experienced buddy, I was safe. I want to put in a couple of 15-feet dives from...

Re: Apocalyptic Thursday Dive 12/20
Hehe. damn, I just missed you H2ODoctor. i was there from 4:30 to 5:30, and then bailed. I'm nowhere close to doing anything solo just yet. Mortuus - I still look forward to diving with you. Anytime anywhere. I was down with flu all of last week. I'm back with a vengence.

Re: looking to dive dec 30-31
David, seems like we should dive together a lot in the near future. I'm at around 25 dives myself, so I'm new, haven't seen many locations, etc. And I'd love to get lots and lots of dives in so that I can begin joining the more advanced expeditions.

Re: looking to dive dec 30-31
I'll join you as always. Sorry for abandoning you - I got the flu last week and am on my last day of quarantine. I'll be back to diving from tomorrow.

Can you dive with a regular-joe diver? I'm in town, I'm on vacation and I'm available. I'm just AOW.

Dive shops at hoods canal?
So I had two bottles of nitrox and heard a hissing sound from the back of my trunk today evening. I'm guessing one bottle is out. Any chance there's a shop there who can fill me up in the morning?
