What (s)he said :D Thanks for the detailed explanation though, it's nice to know someone else confirms my thought.

I'll be heading to Caba San Lucas with my lady in May and I've been reading up as much as I can on some of the dive shops out there. Does anybody have any recommendations on who to go with, or more importantly, who to stay away from. If you dont feel comfortable naming names, feel free to PM...

I was under the impression that the last 15ft were the most dangerous as far as change in pressure is concerned. The pressure change from 15ft-surface is greater than say from 45ft-30ft which is greater still than say 90ft-75ft.

Thanks for the invitation. I'm definitely going to keep that in my mind for the future. I'm still acquiring gear so once I have reliable stuff that I can dive with in a short notice (instead of renting everytime), I'll let you know as I think it's good to dive with a variety of people when your...

I finally dove dry for this first time at Edmonds this morning! I had never dove at Edmonds so it was a tale of 2 firsts. My new Bare Nex Gen worked perfectly, albeight my slight problem with trim, but I think that will be worked out with time. It was such a nice feeling to unzip and be...

This was just posted on King5.com. Not much more info than the PI article though. My thoughts and prayers go out to Josh's family, especially his Fiance. Man dies in diving accident in Elliott Bay | Top Stories | KING5.com | News for Seattle, Washington

I usually just use both hands at the same time to give the "Ok" signal My buddy and I both know that means "i'm having a kick-a$$ time"

Ahhhh gotchya. Good to know. By the way, per your recommendation, I peeked under and all around the Honey Bear but didn't see the octopus...must have just missed her.

I was heading back to shore in cove 2 on Monday and I ran across an industrial battery on the bottom just east (I think) of a submerged piling. It looked like a car battery only bigger. That can't be good considering all the chemicals in battery's. If I had a lift bag I would have sent it to the...

That would be a nice Christmas present! This will be my first open water dive since I got certified in May 2006. I'm going with some more experienced divers to get me "back in the game" so to speak. It should be fun!

Hey everyone, I'll be doing two dives at Alki tomorrow. Anybody else going to get wet on Christmas Eve?

I do not have a drysuit but for other activities in the cold I have found that the Under Armor "Cold Gear" line of long underwear is far better than any polypro I've used in the past. It's warmer, it fits better and has better freedom of movement. Has anyone used this as a first layer instead of...

The roots of my upper molars extend into my sinuses (my dentist so graciously pointed this out on my last x-ray) and when I get a bad sinus infection it causes pain in my upper teeth so it is entirely possible that the pain you felt in your tooth was from your sinuses. Just my 2 cents.

Twice....once on this part and once in the Orca Bait forum for the locals...

Really is sad...does anybody have details on how this tragedy happened? Sounds like he got tangled up, I wonder why his knife or buddy didn't get him out of the lines? It happened off Salty's in Alki. He was discovered by an instructor and his student...very very sad...

http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_073107WAB_diver_drown_elliott_TP.ccb6041a.html KING5.com Staff SEATTLE – A diver who got hung up underwater in some buoy lines in Elliott Bay died Tuesday. A scuba instructor and his student found the man near Seacrest Marina Park near Alki...

I had to think about that one for a second:rofl3:

Did you go to Pullman because you are a student? If so they have a diving class that I took last year. The instructor, Barry Moore usually has TA's help out with classes. If you are a student and are interested in maybe doing some TA work in the pool for the SCUBA classes, let me know and I will...

Being a male, the only way I would dive nude would be in tropical waters, and above the thermocline...if you catch my drift:rofl3:
