Re: Setting up a SIB/RIB for diving?

I'll let you and Bill know when it's up and going. I can't wait, because diving some new sites will be nice.

Re: Setting up a SIB/RIB for diving?

Thanks again for all of the info at the start of the project, I just realized I never did put up pictures of the project. It's been a long winter of projects from rebuilding the entire water pump/lower seal, splicing line, rebuilding, cleaning and balancing the carbs, more gear aquiring, and current...

Re: Harper Pier / Barbara G

I'll definitely stop by and say hi if I see your vehicle Bill. If you see a roll of poly rope on the roof of a blue Subaru, go ahead and grab it. We've got to find fills Friday night or Saturday morning before I can head out to dive.

Re: Harper Pier / Barbara G

I have a few hundred feet of harbor freight yellow poly line I could donate. We were looking at Saturday or Sunday heading out that way to dive. I won't be much help for installing the line this weekend. I'll be diving with the fiance who is getting used to a new drysuit, and a couple new pieces of ...

Re: Tire Reef Removal?

As long as they mark it somehow so divers don't go in the wrong area, it's not a big deal, or loss at that site. A barrier of sorts signifying the end of the diving area is all that is needed. There is hardly any life on those tires, few people go that far, or even see the other tires stacks that pa...

Diving with Pacific Adventure 12/6

As always, i've been really impressed with this boat crew. On this trip we had Mike and Samantha for our crew. They greeted us at the dock, and wheeled our tanks down the dock. Loaded up the boat and headed out. Dive site one was I believe the fingers? Which was this nice wall. Waves were kicking up...

Re: CO detectors

I did want an opinion, and your opinion greatly helped toward finding further information to compare the models. On my phone with the bad font it looked like 3.5ppm, not 35ppm on their site this morning. Sorry if swyping fast on break on my phone at work came off as harsh... I'm just surprised there...

Re: CO detectors

Do you really wait for an alarm? It's resolution is 1ppm, I don't care about the alarm, I can read numbers just fine when I'm analyzing a tank. I can easily take note of a high reading if I know what I'm looking for. The Oxycheq is +/-2ppm resolution, alarm of 10ppm with 0.5ppm drift per year. 6.0pp...

In prep for our trip in a few months I started looking at CO detectors for vacation again, along with the last post. I know we get fills in more questionable locale on vaca... I'm not super worried about my air where I get fills locally, it gets tested a lot, and the testing is posted. The CO detect...

Re: Light advice

If you are going to spend the money, always get the brightest light you can afford, you won't regret it. I thought I didn't need a 35 watt hid, but after diving one, and diving with people with 50watts, it's hard to imagine diving without 3000 lumen... Quality of build, construction methods and mate...

DRIS Impact Stubby Video Lights on a Hero3

Well, here is the first video from the DRIS Impact Stubby Lights with the Hero3. I'm actually fairly impressed, since the warranty is decent, and the price was fairly good. I'll need practice and pointers for getting all the lighting correct all the time I'm sure.

The craziest part I see is they don't have drysuits on... We kayak the class III/IV rivers when it's snowing around here, and at least salt water doesn't freeze on your gear... Albeit I prefer diving over kayaking in freezing weather...
