Well I will certainly bring it then =D

I could be wrong, but I think the biggest difference is going to be the height of the sides of the canoe vs. the height of the sides of a kayak. I think the higher sides may make it harder to get into...but there seemed to be at least a couple divers that could do it with relative ease

Well now's the time to find out! Except that this will be a canoe... :P

I should be able to make it...What do you guys think about trying out the NuCanoe? I know it's not really much needed here...but we could get some interesting photographs of people trying to get in/out...and it'll be your chance to see if you want to put this on your "I want to get one of these...

Hehe, don't I know it. $275 worth of over-weight fees in Australia :P

Chicago, IL? Can you pack me in your suitcase?

http://www.nwdiveclub.com/viewtopic.php?t=1985 I've been wanting to try out dive kayaks/canoes ever since I met a person in Australia that had a dive kayak. She boasted how much easier it was to get from place to place (and dang...why didn't we use them when we did that 20 minute surface swim to Ind...

Hey guys - Sunday's looking great for me to dive if anyone's going!

Btw - I'm picking up the NuCanoe tomorrow for anyone that may want to test it out with me =D

Wow...this looks like it's more my style of diving (you know, semi-shallow) =D Would love to give this place a try sometime.

I don't think I'm going to get out of work anytime early today...so what about this coming weekend?

Hey! We've got a little group going to Cove 2 tomorrow. We've got all types (mostly more experienced than less) but can certainly buddy you up with someone. If you're interested, let me know! And this isn't a private thing, everyone's welcome! dd What time? I do work during the days generally, thou...

Tired of waiting for my husband to get his introductory drysuit dive..so, who's up for diving? I really would like to try the Edmonds underwater dive park - close, and seemingly easy. Need a fairly experienced diver to be my buddy, and would like someone who's familiar with the Edmonds dive park. Th...

You could use mine, Bob, but I broke mine on the 3rd dive! however, it is still together - the frame around it is cracked but has been glued together once already...not very good glue :P

I also don't know if any diving kayaks/canoes have this feature, but it would be nice if there was a hole intended for a dive pole and flag...this would help not only in that it's the required flag so that others know someone is diving (if they know the flag, at least), but the canoe would also prov...

Hmmm... sounds cumbersome to manage, but evidently it's not. I do like the idea of having a large personal dive flag above you. Some people I dove with in Australia had diving kayaks that they adored. I've been looking into them - can't afford right now but I wouldn't mind testing and writing revie...

Gorgeous photos

Meh, I suppose it's getting rather late and I need to get on this...and now that I'm back from Australia I don't have any excuse! Greg and I plan on coming...will call soon and make sure we have the days off

Not at all- I wear an spg clipped off to my right chest d-ring and a computer on my right wrist- I can usually read my tank pressure with a quick glance. I found that even when I had a computer that would calculate my air time for me, either wirelessly or through a hose, I just never trusted it- all...

Yeah...talk about leaving for a month to come back to over-inflated gas prices. Freaky. I do so love my little compact car - though it looks like a small SUV, and a friend even commented that he thought it was one! It gets 36 miles/gallon. I wish it got more with these gas prices though!!!! Crazy.

Mmm, you know I'm not quite sure why one would go with a wrist computer if it doesn't have a transmitter, since you'll still need a console and hose to read your psi.... And I'm thinking a wrist computer with transmitter is going to be out of my price range.

WELL, I am slowly, but surely, uploading many of my pictures to my photobucket account. When that's done I'll post the link It doesn't help that the computer that many of them are on is in my office while I've spent the weekend at home relaxing

Vibration huh? I might have to check into that - I *rarely* hear my 'audible' alarm on my computer.

Haha, well I DID have to read my manual for the Sherwood computer in order to figure out how to switch it to Nitrox. But you know...that was kind of easy guys, haha I think Greg will be diving Nitrox soon so it definitely has to be nitrox-ready.

Yeah, I've heard they're pretty conservative...which should be interesting with my Sherwood, as I was told it's pretty liberal.

Welcome fellow Wisconsinite! At least at one time - I've given up that name quite willingly Have you dove the quarry in Black River Falls then? I would put the name but I don't think I could spell it :P

Just got back from Australia and you're just leaving - sorry to have missed you!
