Re: Want a diving job?

The "new" status...this is a job which possibly involves entanglement (the bottom of the Lake is a trash heap)...solo diving at all times...so it's not recreational by any means. Picture getting entangled in random stuff, while having raw sewage blasting into your face and finding the solu...

Want a diving job?

So...this is a close friend of mine who has a diving job open. Ignore the "navy background"...what he needs is someone who can do light commercial work underwater and keep their head straight. This is working on the houseboats on Lake Union. Looking for someone with some knowledge of const...

Has anyone dived Keystone Jetty recently?

Just wondering if anyone has dived the Jetty since the dredging? I know what the beach looks like...but wanting to find out if anyone knows how much the dredging affected the underwater scenery.

Re: Know who dives near the bay area?

I have used Glenn's Aquarius every time I'm there...but may visit Seven Seas this time, as their new shop looks stellar. If ...

Re: Trouble Descending

Relax...like a rag doll. When you're tense or nervous...you are more buoyant. (This is why new divers take weight off of their belt so quickly) If you relax like a rag doll, you'll descend if you're properly weighted. The problem tends to be...the diver worries about whether they can descend (especi...

My prayers go out to this diver and his family. I've dived with him and he's a super nice guy.

If I were a rock climber, I may not want to "free climb" myself...but I also would never want to hear a "free climber" got hurt.
