Hey guys, please don't be disrespectful. That's my mother-in-law.

Totally agree John, and Erica and I have that same deal. I'll honor it was anyone as I expect them to do for me. You gut is not wrong, and even if it was... you're not harmed by not going. The DAN insurance thing blows me away - that people won't spend $75/year (plus my $44/year family membership). ...

It's Friday, it's beautiful outside, and I'm thinking... MMmmmmmmm Beeeerrrr

Yup, I think I'm going to have to call it a day.

Really!? I never treated a DCS case, course, I was a medic in a rural farm and golfing area of southern AZ, so I suppose there wasn't a whole lot of diving there anyway. That's an amazing number - I wouldn't have thought it to have been that high! Can you imagine if they lost cabin pressure?! As an ...

Welcome! Do you brew your own beer? Want to come crabbing with us at Langley on Saturday (tomorrow) afternoon/evening? Bring homemade beer?

If not, why? Check this Darwinian sh*t out: While diving in Maui last week, Erica and I were on a boat with 4 other divers. One set of buddies (2 guys from LA, both with AOW certs) mentioned they were flying out late that evening... right after we completed our second dive at 9:30am!!! They weren't ...

Yeah, I think it would make a tighter group too. That way we also keep a grip on how many people we actually have... as of now, we know we have had just over 100 people register. I'd guess there are about 20-25 people who are active. My 2 psi worth is to keep the group completely open, but if people...

I think that's smart for now - the more members we have the more policing we have to do. On the flip side, it'd be cool to have a bunch of good people here. Calvin - how many people are actively participating versus how many just logged in a once, twice, or a couple times and aren't really "inv...

Yeah, I know. I tried to move the date, but people weren't willing to change their plane reservations, their lodging, etc. The nerve! :angryfire: Fortunately, I have the legendary Bill Walker :prayer: to share the story with me until I can see all the pictures and hear the story at the same time. I'...

Hey everyone! Maui was amazing – pictures will be posted soon! The highlight was a toss-up between diving with several white-tipped and gray reef sharks at “Molokini Crater” and diving with 100+ turtles at “5 Caves!” In addition to that, the rays, fish, eels, and other marine life were all simply am...

I'm buying two (one for me and one for the wife)!!! They're VERY sweet and the backplate is VERY comfortable!!!

Welcome to the club fish! Looks like you had great weather out there. I bet everyone was anxious to get in the water when they sipped up their dry suits!!! It was sunny and hot!!!

No, not him - but I'll share with whom sometime in person. I thought it was a mighty fine quote myself. There was a passionate discussion as to what gasses were better to decompress with at what depths, blah blah blah - way over my head. Then I heard him say, when someone mentioned they'd NEVER deco...

Hey! If they keep that up, we might have a great new drift dive site!!! If nothing else, we could collect stuff - it'd be like Christmas!!! How deep is it below the narrows anyway? I'm totally ignorant - is it really deep, closed-circuit only, or what?

As soon as we get back from Hawaii (mid-July) we'll be putting our gear together and will be ready to start diving regularly come early August!!! We have a little 17' Larson bow-rider too - I'm drawing up plans to rig a flag pole for a dive flag. It's not "ideal," but it's certainly "...

Indeed! They must be covered in level 3!! I must confess, I probably won't be climbing the fish ID ladder, but my fiance is interested in it! Perhaps she can become our resident expert?!

Is this the infamous Puget Sound Coral Snake coming out of the toilet?!

Sounds like a gunnel to me! I loved Janna's class!!! I'm an official REEF level 2-fish-identifier-survey-guy!!! Coral snake eh? Growing up in Southern Arizona, I didn't know they lived in 40fsw of salt water!!! (kidding)

Hi Jeanna - welcome to the club! Bob recommended I speak to you about the aquarium too - which I hope to do sometime soon. I enjoyed your website!

Check for XL's for me too!!! Also - sometime I need to get a woman's small or medium from you for Erica too! Maybe I should just hit BUWS?

Oh yeah - the people I spoke to at DAN kicked ass too!!! Friendly & helpful!!! Who would have thought there's still top-shelf customer service out there?!?!

John made an excellent point... I just upgraded to the "preferred plan" with DAN insurance. The last thing I need is to be in Hawaii and have an issue. $50k+ in debt wouldn't be the best way to start a marriage!!!

I won't be able to make it either - I'll be on my honeymoon. I'm looking forward to your article.

There are lots of great shops - where do you live/work?
