Born in 2005 and I have used them only a handful of times up to 3500psi and I have NO idea on if they should be hydro'd or even what interval.. I'm hardly an authoritative source but my recollection is that this type of tank wasn't hydro'ed, they just had a defined life span, possibly ten years. I'...

Found this posted on The Scuttlefish, I'm only ten minutes in and it's definitely worth posting.

I don't know what kind of pilings the refinery pier at Cherry Point has. I believe that that recent expansion plans may have been derailed by environmental concerns.

Grouper vs. shark



I saw something similar with a really big lingcod coming to the surface from 180' to eat a kelp greenling when I was a kid in Alaska.

Marc Maron just reposted his Robin Williams interview to his WTF podcast feed. I don't remember hearing the interview but it isn't uncommon for Marc's interviews to go fairly deep into mental health and addiction issues.

Is that the martial art that requires double hose regs so you can only cut the exhaust hose?

Causing some difficulty placing words in proper order is, cognates be dammed. Perhaps you aspire to future SEO exploits or are a purveyor of a particular canned meat product that is popular in Hi.

If ASL is your primary language I apologize and suggest you go diving with Bob in the morning.

So, I thought that the mommy octopus doesn't even eat during that period - think that's true of this species? How do you not eat for 53 months? :eek: Just heard an interview with the paper's author on CBC. He said that they offered her crab legs that she wouldn't take from their ROV. The paper is p...

Just don't mention any marina and water use by boat owners. The issue has actually come up recently . As other's have mentioned in the thread SPU is very confident in our protected watersheds and only chlorinates to the minimal allowable level. If aerated there shouldn't be any residual chlorine.

The black one costs extra and they ship the wheels directly to your instructor.

I've had seasonal allergies all of my life and have only found good strategies to manage them in recent years. Both Fritz and Tom have had very good suggestions. What has worked well for me has been to take a non-sedating antihistamine (I'm currently using Costco's Aller-Tec Active Ingredient, Cetir...

Way cool! Did you opt for the kit or are you getting a fully assembled unit?

If you are looking to get them filled with gasses other than air when the VIP is completed that may make the choice more obvious, especially if one of those gasses is He.

This same thing has happened at Cove 1. The marker buoy has gone missing and not sure if there are any plans to replace it. Most of the boundary line and buoy maintenance at the coves has been a volunteer effort, officially coordinated with Seattle Parks, by the Marker Buoy Dive Club. Randy William...

taking tanks directly to Fire king will cost you around $20 per tank if you take 10 or more tanks and negotiate a deal with them. :notworthy: You were able to negotiate with Fire King? I tried that once and all got was a lousy Christmas card. I'll bet Koos, LLC is better at getting a deal than some...

Tell us more... is it all full moons, or only specific ones? how do you know about this, etc I've seen the spawn (with feasting dogfish) several times in the mid to late 1990's. The knowledge imparted on my by people who had been going there for decades was that the spawn was during the full moon i...

Hey I have done some Googlin' on this and am not coming up with anything solid. Can you give me some more info on this? Sorry, got too involved in adding the hyperlink and forgot to add "on Cypress Is.". Cypress Is. is on the East side of Rosario Straight North of Anacortes/Fidalgo. Pelic...

If you want to see thousands head up to Pelican Beach (named after a sailboat not fauna) on Cypress Is. at night during the next full moon. They should be around munching on the millions of spawning candle-fish. It would be quite a night dive.

There should be some literature out of the UW in the 60's and 70's about how the inter-tidal environment changes in the absence of sea stars. Bob Paine (cited as R.T Paine ) and several of my dad's fellow grad students had several study sites on Waadah Is. in Neah Bay that were monitored while they ...

Can you find dish washing gloves that work for you? You might find them at a restaurant supply store closer to home.

It's been recovered and there's an article with photosin the Seattle Times. Hopefully our friends with photo credits will come fill us in.

I doubt that your Epi-Pen would handle repeated salt water immersion. You really need to inject an Epi-Pen into a large muscle which is why the thigh is a recommended site. The wrist is problematic because it has veins, arteries, nerves, and tendons all running near the surface. It shouldn't be that...

Apply a fabric (probably cordura or something similar) from the inside using the adhesive of your choice. E-6000 would work well.

I'm pretty close to Edmonds and open later than Seattle Fabrics, let me know if you need some scraps and I'll have some set out for you.

Can you copy your BookOfFace posting to NWDC? Some of us don't play over there and I'm curious about your teaser post here. If not any hint of a cuort or docket number would be helpful.

This is an informal group that meets via a forum on the internet. Think of it as a choose your own adventure game. The forum is fairly centered on Puget Sound diving but there are folks in Oregon and Alaska plus other parts of the world here too. Take a look in the dive planning forum if you want to...
