So, um.. are there any GOOD dive movies? Along Came Poly. The part when "Ruby Tuesday" walked in on his new wife getting... well, you know, with her fins on make that my number one pic for all time best SCUBA movie. So..... Do you want to do the Scuuuubaahh...?" I Loved that line, I ...

Been diving for more than 20 years and have never used anything, but I have neoprene neck seals.... Blaiz - that looks like more than just a neck seal hicky, it looks like you could stand to trim a little off the seal... OUCH!! And Rick, I know better than to believe that was from just the 'seal' wh...

Thanks Ben,

I've been to candlepower forums and I am getting a lot of useful info from there. Never heard of Avnet, I will look up their address. I had been looking at deal extreme like Mattleycrue pointed out, but their selection wasn't all that great.

Cheers

Wow, that looks very well done. Congratulations.

Where do you DIY guys buy your led's and heat sinks? I don't have an electronics store in Sitka that carries the stuff.

Thanks in advance.

I'm the dumb guy that probably would have picked it up. It would probably be on the shelf at my house next to the other weird crap I find in the water. However, after reading this post, I will never pick up munitions underwater.[/quote] ORDIVER made me think of the book "Shadow Divers' when Joh...

I was diving around the causeway here a few years ago and thought I had found an old artillery shell. The cause way has tons of military scrap from WWII scattered all over the bottom and a few bunkers still intact for your exploring pleasure. Anyway, the casing I found was about 2 1/2 feet long and ...

Here in SE Alaska it seems that our Wolf Eels that live in the shallow water near town like on the breakwater and the runway jetty, all move off in the winter to some other place. Even the famous Cuddles doesn't stay through the winter. Cuddles usually reappears around this time.(mid June-ish). Are ...

Chris, Just wanted to say that all of us up here in Sitka are thankful that you're OK. We've heard of subcutanial bubbles, but this is new to us, so we'll be researching it for our own safety. Thank you for the post, a good first hand account is worth a lot when researching new material. Be Safe Bot...

Thought about det cord, but the wreck is only a couple hundred yards from the Coast Guard dock, and they have guns... ha ha Also, I figured I would have to run a pneumo line from the surface, but with all the boat traffic in the channel I've been trying to stay away from extra hose. Was hoping someo...

Just putting in a higher psi rated burst disc. my steel tanks all have pro valves.

I don't go crazy with it like some of the cave divers I've heard of, and I don't push my luck at all with Al tanks.

when I worked at the sop I never did this. No one is using these tanks but me and I'm filling them at home. Just wondering if installing a bank system using old welding tanks is going to create too much heat to make it worth my while. And I know most don't admit to this, but when I started overfilli...

So I want to get the prop off an old schooner and I need to cut the shaft to do it. I thought I could run a pneumatic cutter on a pneumo line from a sling bottle, but even after I ran it at 140psi, when it only calls for 90, it was a no go. Anyone know how to move more volume through the air tool? C...

I know it was a pretty common practice for tech and cave divers back in the 70's and 80's, but how many people are still overfilling their steel tanks? I'm too worried about the quality of my Al 80's to try it with them, but I've been pumping my 95's and LP108's up to 3200 and not having any issues....

AH, the good old days, if the Calypso won't fit through the channel in the coral reef, don't worry, we'll just dynamite the reef. And when we see a baby sperm whale that we want to tag, just drive the zodiac around him a few times so he's good and disoriented and then we can just tie a line to his t...

Amy, Welcome and enjoy the diving in WA whenever you can. I used to live in West Seattle an Alki is always a good place to meet other divers.

BTW: I should warn you about that dive gear wish list.... It just keeps getting longer and longer and costing more and more money!

Just found this on E-Bay. It's for 3 Dive Rite battieries and 2 chargers. Might be a good deal for someone with a Div Rite light.

Do you mean a standard inflator hose? I have 4 or 5 extra's, just send me your address and I 'll drop one in the mail to you. I don't have an AIR II eother, so you can keep it or list it on e-bay..

Cheers,

Is there a policy for just listing gear on this site? As opposed to listing on E-Bay and then referring via post??

Eric,

The 'other' Dave here. Glad you made through the herring season OK. Are you going to be back in Sitka next year? Keep us posted, it was great to dive with you. And give us some warning next time you're heading our way, I have tons of gear if you need a lend.

Hey it's the other diver Dave here, the guy who found the Steam Ship Bowl!! What are you guys up to? And can you tell me how to get ahold of Chris? I have an old Ikelite SpD battery pack I want to use for a DIY led light.. When are you guys coming back? And did Coconuttele tell you he lives next doo...
