Re: Cell Phone Service at Dive Spots

I think it's your provider. Verizon has very good coverage at all of these places.

Jess, what is your shoe size. My wife dives with F1 fins and I can arrange for you to borrow them for a dive.

Lost Weight Belt at Cove 2

One of the guys in our IDC class lost his weight belt at Cove 2 on Saturday, November 14th. It's a black belt with four XS Scuba weight pockets on it. There are NO weights in the pockets. The belt is fairly close to the center line of Cove 2 in water probably no deeper than 30 feet. Let the search a...

Parking Enforcement Cove 2

I have not seen parking enforcement weekdays but they were certainly out this weekend. Granted, I was parked there from 6:30 am until 3:30 pm so I deserved it. Just know that they're back.

Re: Renting Wetsuit

Your local dive store (LDS) can help for both the weight and the wetsuit. In no particular order, look up Underwater Sports - Tacoma store. TLSEA, Tacoma SCUBA, and I believe Lighthouse Divers Supply has a store in Tacoma too. In addition, Underwater Sports has a store in Federal Way. There may be o...

Free diver, Natalia Molchanova, missing in Italy

New York Times article about record-holding free diver Natalia Molchanova missing after a recreational free dive. Sad. (Suggest that you right-click and open in a new tab or window).

Re: Hyperbaric trip experience/getting bent call for insight

Don't be concerned that they treated your daughter through a complete Table 6 profile even thought the symptom were releived. The diver that Fritz mentioned experienced complete paralysis of one arm and both legs. 100% O2 via an adult non-re-breather mask at 10 liters/min (lpm) was applied within 15...

Should GPO Eggs Look This Color After 5 Months

In February of this year I shot some video of a GPO on eggs. I revisited the same site last Sunday. I'm told by those that visit this site a lot that this is the same GPO. The link below is to a 16 second video (HD) comparing the eggs then and now. Do know that I was using LED lights in February and...
