I've been looking at these and am about to pull the trigger and order one. I haven't found that kind of deal (yet). Mind sharing your source?

Dusty, what glue did you use?

Dusty2 wrote:Yea!

New zipper installed and tested! lots of lessons learned and one hell of allot of bucks saved. Total cost including glue $150.00

Next time it will be allot easier.

Pictures or it didn't happen!

I have a gently used one of these that I'd be willing to make you a great deal on - sized for big guys. PM me if you're interested.

Mr. Penders did bring his camera (posting the photos is another story :smt064). On dive 1 we decided to head straight out. We surface swam to the buoy straight out from the entrance and dropped in at about 40'. With viz about 10-15' we decided to head deep to the bottle field. About 4 fins kicks an...

Pictures?

Redondo is one of the only local sites they turn up, almost always on night dives.

I want a picture!

Some regs should be under pressure when soaked. Atomic is one of them:

Not sure whether this the same with their version of the alt air.

If Scoobie Doo is in, I'm out. Les D just seems to have it out for him.

Actually, my daughter's bday is tomorrow, and I'll be knee deep in cake and ice cream instead.




But seriously, someone needs to keep a wary eye on Scoobie...

Did you notice the montery sea lemon on the left? I did. And took a few shots of it...never even noticed Mr. Scalyhead. IMG_6580.JPG Also found these on the same engine block (just below and to the right of Mr. Scalyhead). Not sure what they are, but they looked cool. IMG_6579.JPG A couple other sh...

I'm out - fatherly duty calls...

I'm a maybe, not sure I can get there by 5. Anyone planning a 2nd dive? Or maybe a late first dive (Cardiver?)?

I'm trying to figure out a date myself this summer to camp/dive at Saltwater, as we really want to do a night dive on the reef (park gates close in the evening). Mike Oooo.... this sounds promising!! :boucegreen: If I promise not to TP your tent and eat all your food can you keep me in the loop on ...

Dash Point State Park would put you right about in the middle of several south Puget Sound shore dive sites. Saltwater State Park is also located in the south sound and has camping, but may be little more primitive. However, Saltwater has a very nice reef that Dash Point does not (but make sure to t...

Trying to make it, but can't confirm yet.

Nice!

Is it like when your parents scold you and say "Go to Bonaire and think about what you've done!"? Wish I had figured out how to accomplish this punishment during my youth. :notworthy: So, does proper technique require just putting one toenail over "the line" - or running so far ...

Have you tried using your older strobe for fill yet?

Nice shots all the way around, everyone!

And Jesse - nice shots on the squid! Wish the little bugger would have given me a shot at him too...

Rob and Mike, sorry for calling you out on the photos. Now you have to post them :smt064 Nope. Won't do it. Can't 'make me. Okay......but not because you made me, but because I wanted to - so there :bootyshake: During our dive on the West Wall, I came across a Giant Nudibranch sizing up an anemone,...

Either way does anyone else find it weird that there would be "eel grass" between 90 and 130? I'm thinking maybe the originator meant sea pens? I dunno +1 My first thought was sea whips instead of eelgrass. I didn't take many pictures during the dives here, there just weren't that many cr...

Here's a link to a dive map of Octopus Hole that indicates a deeper wall. I've not found/dove the deeper wall myself, and the map is a little out-date (no platform exists). Best way to find the shallow wall is to walk or surface swim to the nearly-downed tree that is south of the entry, then head st...

On waist I'm still baffled on the donning sequence, etc. Just go diving with nearly anyone using a canister light on this board, watch Bob next time you're with him etc. The canister is on the right side of the waist strap, lighthead clipped to the right chest somewhere. Put your arms in and buckle...

Lynn - that was exactly my thought when I spotted him. Several others nearby were poised just like him - almost like a choir. Ron - too true. The red light seems to mesmerize many of the normally shy critters. I've had several lumpies actually crowd me while chasing towards the light to the point wh...

It was great to finally get a chance to meet so many of you on Sunday. Shared a couple of great dives with Elise, Rob and Jim - and also some great stories and laughs with many others. Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures topside - but here's a few I took during the dives. Moon Snail.JPG Ane...

Nice shots, Jesse! "It was a dark and stormy night" would have accurately described our evening. We started our first dive in calm waters, and ascended to big wind and sizeable waves. Trying to take pictures of lumpies at 6fsw while being tossed by the surge was an effort in futility. I fi...
