General banter about diving and why we love it.

...you find spiderwebs in your hood. :BDub:

...you test your wing's dump valve and dust puffs out. :penelope:

...your drysuit has had enough time to not smell funky anymore. :toimonster:

...there's a reg set for sale on CL just like the one you have, and it's advertised as 'antique'...
...I like going to the chamber.. They have great food there, and awsome live music "H20doctor"
Check out the VIDEOS!

My drysuit has shrunk, the air in my tank tastes stale, the bifocal in my mask isn't strong enough.
Pop tarts and gravy,
It's what's for breakfast.

My experience this week after being gone for a long time...

...you can't remember where you stored all your gear.

...in your stack of unopened mail, there's packages from scuba vendors... and you can't remember what you ordered.

...the tanks need another vis inspection, and you just had it done the last time you dove.

(Oh BTW, I'm back in Port Townsend again if anyone wants to go diving! I found enough of the gear, and the tanks are ready. Ha.)
