top 5-10 still manky but down at 60' at mukilteo oil docks it was 30-40 this a.m. on a low tide...

Silicone ship date has been set at July 25th... I need to start getting numbers.... email me a ljjames (at) mac (dot) com Real numbers. If this means i start taking deposits, I will. I'll keep some in stock but if I can put in a big-ish first order it will help defray the cost of shipping... (AKA a ...

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

well... lets just say when boys come up to me at the dive site and ask "does that thing work or did you buy that suit from a boy!? Looks like it fits pretty good for a boys suit..."

I say: "I dare ya to come a little closer and find out"

yes, you "need" a scooter... it's a deep seated hunter gatherer instinct... You will be able to feed your tribe better with a scooter ;) You must not let them starve... *giggle* Boy.... as if anyone who was "on the edge" needed another reason to get a scooter. Alas, I have not ha...

this is a cross post with regards to crabbing from dive matrix. The question started with 'how to transport' but brought up the fact that sometimes 'teams' of divers come out of water with 2 crabs in one bag and seven in the other... ---------------------- Okay, here's the long version... it's gonna...

Cross post from thread on the dive matrix. we dive our singles reg setup, long hose, backup, etc... I dive a backplate sans wings. an AL40 or AL80 depending on the dive... Yes, it has everything to do with a scooter :) as does this.... http://scubatics.org/ ---------------- Hi Just a quick post to c...

Okay, that almost got sugarfree red bull on the screen... Thanks for the laugh!

but yaaaaahhh....

It's not addicting... nor is monkey diving....

"come get that tank off your back, try monkey diving! It's not addicting.... really!"

There will be more!

yes, we have that on other sites and it works well, you think _this_ is giggle fodder, I got news for ya... BUT, that doesn't help the wives/gf's/dive buddies (who are not on this board) of the boys who are here reading this... I'm all about education, be it she-p's or scooters and monkey diving ;) ...

why does it have to be closed? No one ever talks about closing the boys threads on condom caths?! y'all just giggle like little girls and keep on recounting stories "and then there was the time...." how about you boys just keep your post to yourself unless you are asking a question for you...

this goes for many of the neoprene suits. you really do want to take the time to clamp the area before the install, it seems annoying and like an added step compared to the shell suits, but it saves a lot of headache down the road. for women, so far the streamline P-valve from Halcyon works very ver...

Not sure where this is to be posted... it's a free thing as far as I can tell, so in reading the 'rules' it seems here is place... JULY 19TH, Saturday, Les Davies, Tacoma JULY 20th, Sunday, T-Dock, Mukilteo Try out an X-scooter!! Don't miss out on the FUN! http://www.vimeo.com/1256770 We will be the...

If you don't mind the site prep (shaving) and a bit of a learning curve (though that is getting better now as we are putting together a nice little 'instruction' sheet), the She-P will make your dives infinitely more comfortable. Even better now in this hot weather where it's great to be able to hyd...

You can scooter in the pool....

A bit of video from the "scooter side of the pool"

vis was so plankton-full at the Edmonds UW park that i'm not sure i can salvage too much of it.. But, since i promised i'd do a weekly video vis report, I'll give it a shot. Stay tuned Diving the Northwest via Video PODCAST! (and vimeo)

Tuesday vis at the MUCK-ilteo docks...

Oh yeah! We ARE the 2% club! You will always find us 2 standard deviations from the mean rockin' the edge of the bell curve.

hehe thanks! Ya, youtube serves a purpose, I would say 98% of peeps will only watch Youtuber, but for the other 2% it's really nice to have the vimeo option. actually many of the vids are up in ipod format on the "podcast" section of my homey home page :) I just picked up a lightly used So...

I was under the impression that the fatality at alki was in fact a lack of enough positive buoyancy at the start of a dive whilst gearing up which allowed things to get out of control when the 'rogue wave' hit. a) Enough gas in BCD when putting on fins/entering the water to float, especially when di...

Hah! I was just thinking the same thing... "gee, I guess it will be okay once it's covered in laminaria like the Gnomes at the pipeline..." and then i thought... Hmm... I wonder what kind of concrete they made it of... I actually like the idea of moving it off the line. I don't really want...

matt, if it's "just for fun" such as this video or 'buddy/student' videos I use the old iMovie HD (I can't stand the new iMovie), mostly because it's fast and easy. If I think I'm gonna be able to do something with it (as in I get some bomber footage that might be good for public access so...

You're painfully young, aren't you ;) JUST KIDDING... It sounds like weather chimes.... to go with weatherwatch... Duh! Wow thanks for the info. I like to here of people trying new areas. I dove there last weakend, but did not go past where the beach ends. Nice video, but I have to be honest.....I t...
