Re: Dolphins Swimming in Bioluminesce
I know Escher is known mainly for his woodcuts of mind bending scenes but this one of dolphins swimming in front of a ship is one of my favorites... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphins_(M._C._Escher)

Re: Recreational chamber ride?
I did a chamber dive to 120 feet (I think) as part of my NOAA diving class at Sand Point some 20 years ago. Like some one else mentioned it got hot and steamy then cooled off. The one thing that sticks out in my mind is our voices changed once we were at depth, then since we all started to sound lik...

Re: I found my new compressor!
Just in case anybody cares, it was a 2003 Bauer compressor rated at 6000psig max and went for $5650 and would have looked absolutely awesome in my garage

Re: Behind you.
My favorite hand signal that was never taught to me in dive class has 3 steps.
1) Point to your eye
2) point to your left nipple
3) point to your a$$
Translation: I left it behind!

Re: I need help with my dry gloves please
Silicone? I haven't done much diving lately but back in the day we were told to avoid using silicone products since they can affect gluing new seals on. Has this and the glues changed?

Re: B.C Fix
So I was trained to dive using just my suit and a BC backpack. I loved it then and still love it. My one upgrade has been to add a set of the old style wings that attach to the backpack. I wouldn't use them except for surface swims, but it is nice to have a source of redundant bouyancy set up for al...

Re: A life altering dive
Holy C##p! I have done that dive and it was an easy one, pretty much drop into the water, sit on the bottom and watch the scenery, plus I have spent an evening with someone IN that ER (for a non dive issue), which is tiny, in a tiny hospital. I am glad to hear that things have turned out so well giv...

I feel like I should be asking one of two things...
1) How many husbands do you have?
or
2) Is he getting older while you are not?
