Does it come with a trailer for towing?

The ability to learn from other people's mistakes, and not have to make the same ones yourself... +1 When I read others' accounts of mistakes, I am always asking myself What would I have done? As far as relating my own errors, part of my urge to do so is because I know how much I enjoy reading othe...

Do divers have such big ego's and cant admit their mistakes? I usually know when I have screwed up badly and I'm not afraid to admit it. The concern about posting here (and others have mentioned this too) is that we may be judged by others, even if that is not the intent of the thread, and once any...

24 years of diving, I have tons of them. Ha. Moi, 27 years. Got you beat, and maybe I have made more mistakes! (Uh, I'm competing to prove I've made more mistakes than someone else?) I know most of you haven't met me (yet), but at least Dusty can see me grinning and wincing... Sometimes it's the si...

That has a very high coefficient of awesomeness!

+1 on what Dusty said. (And take me with you?)

I was there for one of those... Three foot waves, whitecaps, blowing offshore. The weather wouldn't have stopped me, it was the wind direction: if we had an emergency and had to surface away from shore... WHOOSH! Next stop, Seattle. Or the ferry prop.

I hope you mean the index finger. Then again, sometimes you gotta do that to the weather...

Humpies! Well done, very cool.

Hnnng. This is what kills me. I could be down in SA mooching at his condo if I wasn't in FREAKING GRAD SCHOOL.

*sigh* Okay, I feel better now. Sort of.

Have fun diving without me.

Oi! Be kind to those eustachian tubes. Once damaged, they may not ever heal entirely. <Unhappy voice of experience>

I'm holding out for the PolarCirkel. With the Yamaha jet.

Yeah, IMAX in Antarctica. Wow, thanks for posting that -- I hadn't seen it in a long time. It's a bit dated now. The dome, dogs, and hovercraft are gone, as is the 'IMAX crevasse'. A friend, Brooks, volunteered to fall into the crevasse for the film. :notworthy: enter the crevasse2.jpg "I soile...

Sold! Traded for a Polarcirkel Diving/560 with a Yahama F115 jet-drive and a trailer.

Only 25 years old and still works like new! - Time-tested dive planning. - Never needs batteries. - Comes with an awesome vinyl case. - Water proof -- take it with you diving for on-the-fly plan changes! - Pressure Group calculator has nifty double spinning thingamajigger. - Surface Interval calcula...

I dont know a single one of you (that I regularly speak to/respond to) yet and you've already become 90% of my social interaction.. *face-palm* Welcome to the club! (double entrendre) Those of us on the Peninsula Side may not get over to The Mainland very often, so we live vicariously through their...

Fort Flagler, where the old pier used to be. Head straight out into Admiralty Inlet (at slack, thank you). At about 50ft it's a quill fest. Where ever you find them, look for the nudis that eat 'em.

Are you going out to the Olympic Peninsula and looking for a place to dive while you're there? Or going north anywhere specifically to dive? (It makes a difference in recommendations...) On the Peninsula... Lake Crescent is always a great place to dive. Not much life, but beautifully clear, deep wat...

So, E_Mo... What did you decide? Inquiring minds (read: nosy) want to know!

I hope I'm not opening a can of worms with this comment. ... O2 has a higher Narcotic Potency than does N2. Almost double really (1.0:1.7). The worms are packed in trimix, so open the can slowly... :partydance: I hadn't heard that O2 has a relatively higher narcotic potency than N2. Can you cite yo...

Wow, that's awesome news!

Possible boat charters in PT... I've been waiting for that.

Very cool shape! Knox Bottle Company.

They made a lot of medicine bottles, so that's my guess.

I love my HP 130.

It's big and cuddly, and I usually get cold and end the dive long before I approach the reserve pressure.

...which gives me a warm fuzzy feeling (not narcosis).

Beefcake wrote:Lightweight!

Yup. I'm a cheap dive date.

But isn't that the thing with narcosis? Body mass doesn't seem to be a predictor.

....their lights were bouncing off the silt in swirly patterns that reminded me of driving in a blizzard. All of a sudden, my head was spinning, and I felt that sense of impending doom. Eww.... The "Dark Narc". No thank you. I'll pass. Or a nasty case of vertigo that can amplify narcosis....
