    Backup air recommendations?

    Funny- seems like every time I start wondering about something, I find a thread about it here! I've been thinking about adding a pony of some kind to my kit, too. I'm not interested in the spare air, but 30 cf w/ separate reg and pressure gauge does sound appealing.......

    A diver out at Sund this weekend told me that the Sixgills like to eat the Dogfish, so it makes sense you'd see them together....

    Hood Canal Photos

    The vis was not too bad, actually; for Puget sound in the summer, at any rate. 5-10 feet near the surface, but below 30-40', we probably had 20' or better a few times. It was a lot of fun!

    Mine, too. I'll wait for a cheap, used copy in paperback, but I don't want to give the author any more money than I have to. This is beyond sour grapes.

    for the newer divers ...

    That's good to hear. I'm amazed every time the law comes down on the side of common sense and personal responsibilty; and I guess this is one of those. Thanks for enlightening us.

    Dang, were you there? I met so many people this weekend, I got confused, what with internet handles and real names....sorry I missed you, too. Did you get any dives in?

    Sigh. You Californians with you bright COLORS just don't understand how many shades of grey a Puget Sound diver is capable of differentiating! YES, they make lots of bright, obnoxious COLORS! http://www.usia.com/ See? :14:

    Hey! Don't try and blame ME for your personal shortcomings! ;) Mrs. Nailer says I'm quite fetching in my new duds, she just doesn't want me wearing it to any weddings or parties!

    Dead sexy!

    Ah, but it's much BETTER than a sack! I tried the homemade "hefty sack and duct tape" drysuit before I plunked down the $ on this bad boy, and, believe you me, this one is better!

    Is what I am in this bad boy! Did my first 2 dives in it yesterday. Aside from the stunning appearance, it's very well made. I'm quite happy with it, and I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend USIA to anyone in the market for a new drysuit.

    Current Visibility Report

    I buddied up with a pier pilling at Mukilteo for a while this afternoon during my safety stop. After a couple minutes, I started wondering why he wasn't moving; then I noticed that he was much taller than I remembered.....

    You guys really need to step up to 20th century sewage treatment.

    Deep stops and ascents...

    Hmm- I clicked on "safety stop only," but I think I may start doing the half-depth stops, since my dives always seem to be 100' +.

    What is average surface air consumption?

    Male, 5'10" 220 lbs SAC= .55 on average. I guess I'm doing pretty good- I was 1.1-1.3 at first- I've gotten a lot more relaxed in the last 10 dives or so.
