Re: Regulator service

You may have a free or reduced service option with the shop you bought it with, so I would check with them first. Otherwise I'd send it to Don Peterson at Octopus Gardens.

Re: Truth Aquatics/Conception Boat Fire Tragedy

What an awful tragedy. I am hopeful that they will find more survivors, and my heart goes out to the ones who have made it, and to the loved ones of those that didn't.

Water + expensive things = a roulette wheel of disaster/awesomeness. I'm glad you could help, and hooray for free beer!

Re: Lurked for a bit, now looking to lurk underwater with y'all

Welcome to the board! There are weekly north and south end dives, and most of us are up for a weeknight after work or weekend dive too.

There are some suits in the classifieds section on the board, and I've seen some deals on craigslist. Hopefully you can find something soon!
