+1 to both LJ and Captn. Zip seals are worth it and I made the switch to the silicone ones and won't go back. Zip seals save a lot of aggravation if you get a leak because it's a quick fix and don't have to lose a day of diving because of a leaky seal. And I prefer the silicone to the latex seals. W...

KneeDeep,

When are you going?

Hello NWDC Folks! So as extreme luck would have it, my wife was fortunate enough to win an all inclusive trip to the Philippines from the UWS Diver's Fair last night. We've never gone to the Philippines but have heard the diving is stunning. However the trip requires us to pick between the two Atlan...

Heck dtodd, if you make sure it's clean, dry, and in good shape when you return it I'm not even looking to make anything off it, happy to lend it to you while you enjoy the waters sir! It's my travel rig and I'm not doing any warm water travel until September so it could use some love...

I've got a 1-size fits all Zeagle Tech Express that's not doing anything right now. I'd be happy to rent it out to you for your trip. I'm in Bellevue if you'd want to swing by and give it a try.

If the story is as reported, it is an object lesson in how bad group diving in Puget Sound is as a practice. Even when our viz is good, it's not good; if you have eight people in the water, it's just all too easy to lose track of one of them. I have been in situations where people wanted to dive as...

Alrighty friends, unfortunately due to schedule conflicts on my side of the house I haven't yet been able to connect with xBabyJesus. So I'm going to put this out there, I live on the eastside and work in SODO. I'm going to throw the bag in my car and take it with me to work on Friday and first pers...

John,

Sorry just got back in town from a brief trip. You able to meet up tomorrow night around 5:30pm at the Overlake P&R? I'll bring the bag of goodies... it's bursting full!

-Kyle

I'll take it, I'm in Kenmore/Kirkland, and work in Redmond. Lemme know. Thanks, John John, The bag is yours. It's all packed up and ready to go to its new temporary owner. When would you want to meet up? I'm in Bellevue and could meet you on the eastside somewhere this week to hand it off around 5:...

Already ladies and gents! So I received the overflowing PIF Bag from Tang last night and it's chocked full of lots of goodies. I've had a chance to look through it and select those items I needed or wanted and it's ready to go off to the next lucky diver. So I think it's time to set up the list agai...

Joanna, Depending on how complex of a camera you are looking for, I have a pretty simple starter rig that takes great photos and is super easy to use. It's a little older 9MP camera (circa-2008) but still works and shoots like new. It's a complete setup with 40m/130f rated case, camera (Panasonic Lu...

I have the PIF Box currently (which is a bag now), and am done adding stuff to it. It's chock full and all the stuff can't even fit inside. I made an attempt to corral some of the smaller items into a bag within the bag. I've got an OW buddy who's going to rummage through it tomorrow most likely, t...

What's the lift on the bladder? It is set up with a STA?

I kind of thought I was waaayyyy over weight. When my new to me drysuit comes back from dui I'm going to hit the river. Start with Kyle s calculation... which would have me carrying 28 lbs using aluminum. Maggie, You mentioned hitting the river, so one last throw in, if you're diving in fresh water...

44 pounds with a steel tank? I think I know why you were having problems with your buoyancy. Where are you in the PNW? If you're in the Seattle area, I'd be happy to meet up with you and help you get your weighting straightened out. I think you are probably grossly overweighted, and it's making you...

I will grab it tomorrow but it'll take me a few days to sort through and put the stuff in there that I have to donate and I have one new ow buddy who I want to give a chance to pick through it. Next week sometime? Tang, Next week works well. Just let me know when and we can figure out a time that w...

Tang,

You wanna grab it from Scoobie tomorrow and then I can grab it from you somewhere in the Seattle area Thursday or Friday?

If the owner is a member here, remember, shit happens and better to learn from it and pass along that knowledge to other divers (no matter why it happened). Ahhh the old we deserve to learn from your mistakes meme. I've had gear fall out of the boat before. You want a blow by blow account of my inc...

Scoobie Doo,

Any chance you might be up near the Seattle UWS tomorrow? They are having some reps from ScubaPro and SeaLife in to talk about new gear. I'm going with a friend and could grab the bag from you there. Otherwise I'd need to wait until the weekend.

-Kyle

Scoobiedoo, what ever happened to the box/bag? Do we need to start a new list to get in line to keep the hand offs going?

- Kyle

If not for the reel I'd say it looks like a shop rental setup... Koos, if no one claims it I'll take it off your hands. I have some new divers looking for setups and this could be a nice set to start them with (after it's serviced to ensure safety).

Are you around on the weekends? May see about trying to meet up on Saturday and snag the box from you.

Where are you located? I might be able to make a trip somewhere to grab it and get it moving again.
