I'm in!

Cabazon makes great Fish and chips! Mmmm....Beer batter cabazon......

Jake

I've met that fish!! He lives on the truimph in EUP!

Jake

I was acutually leaning towards an earlier dive, as I haven't managed to put the DIY divelight back together yet from it rebuild. Pez, I could meet you around 3:00 at muktileo, that should get you out in time to make something at 6-7.

Jake

Pez or Jeff, if either of you can make a mukitleo dive, that would be awsome. As much as I like 3 tree, that drive at that time of day isn't gonna be fun.

Jake

I've been there once before, so I know where it is, just trying to figure out what my odds are of beeting traffic down there. I've gotten caught once or twice trying to get down to alki after work... It would be a nice dive though....

Jake

It'd be a haul. How long do you figure it would take me to get down there friday afternoon from everett?

Jake

Anybody interested in a dive friday afternoon up at mukilteo? Doesn't look like a good day for the park, but the silver cloud site should be fine.

Jake

Awsome report and Pics! That is indeed a huge wolfeel.

Thanks Sandman!

Jake

Sounder,

Are you suggesting the diving in Maui was better than in the pine lake?



Jake

I had almost 30 dives before I did my AOW this Fall, and I did quite a bit of research before choosing a class to take. I knew the skills I wanted to take away from the class, and I sought out instruction that would help me develop those skills. (I'm still working on most of them.) Before I took the...

Tryg,

10:00 should work well.

I've only ever been to cove 2 at alki. If you have a spot you like better I'm all for it.

Jake

lambersonator,

That should work out. I need to make sure I can get my tank filled satruday since I managed to schedule a dive saturday too. I'll give you a call tommorrow, what time were you thinking?

Jake

Doug, he's got about the same size feet and the larges are too small. I had larges for a while and they barely fit my size 11 feet with 5mm neo boots. I think the XL's should work for him. $40 is a good price.

Jake

I need to get in the water!!

Anybody interested in a dive sunday morning?

I haven't been able to get in the water for almost 3 months, so I'd like to keep it shallow, but any place from alki to Mukilteo would be fine. Anyone interested?

Jake

It was a 737, MUCH smaller plane than a 747, thougha 747 would be cool, 2 decks. http://dive.bc.ca/boeing-737/boeing-737_wreck.html Going to have to set my recorder. I keep wishing we could grab one from the bone yard and drop it in off Mukilteo. Be a good spot, nice and deep, with some current to k...

What size do you need Doug? I know someone with a pair of large jets that don't fit him.

Jake

PM SENT!

It's alright, sacrifices must be made sometimes....

Perhaps a night dive next week?

Jake

So nobody's up for a mid day dive saturday? I was hoping to avoid the dark for this dive just to get my bearings back. Anybody?

If not you guys are going to leave me to the evils of brewing (and drinking) beer this saturday........

Jake

I'll bet that's it. When using standard disposable Alkaline batteries, 8 cells (1.5v per cell is 12 volts, so using rechargables (1.2v per cell) actually results in a dimmer light than the disposables. (This is with nominal voltage) That's why a lot of the lights say they don't recommend using recha...

Celeus, Are you saying your light cannon seems brighter with the rechargable UK pack than with rechargable C cells? If so, my guess would be that the pack is actually 10 cells for a total of a 12volt battery pack, where as 8 C cell Ni-Mh batteries only puts out 9.6 volts (1.2v/cell). This will give ...

Anybody diving the north area on saturday? I've been out of the water for the last two months :angryfire: with some ear issues, but got clearance from the Doc this week to get back in the water. \:D/ So anybody up for doing a dive at Alki or anyplace north of there? Lawgoddess? burntchef? Sounder? A...

I think beef stew and beer afterwards would be a must. I think I'm good enough to stay off the bottom and out of the muck. Shoot me a pm when the ice thaws, it sounds like fun.

Jake

Hey sounder, I'd be up for it once the ice thaws.

Good vis you say?

Diving under the ice however, seems to be a baaaaad plan.

It doesn't help to know how to swim if the water is so cold you can't move your arms......

Jake

In the Seattletimes today there are some pics from the party that was going on during the dive, and several of the divers getting geared up. I can't figure out how to post a link to the pictures, but they're easy enough to find on the website. I'm in no way a trained tech diver, but if I'd been show...
