Might try cranking someone's air off for a spontaneous OOA drill....or using complicated hand signals that don't mean anything over and over....

Heh. The metric system. For all 12 years of public school I attended, I was taught the metric system. It was widely acknowledged that the USA would be going metric. Right after I graduated, I got a job in construction. I was lost- I didn't know how many inches were in 8 feet or what a sixteenth...

Yep. I have yet to meet any real- life jerks diving around here. I'm sure they're out there, but I've been impressed by the helpfull and friendly divers I've met so far.

Uh...so, it's Tuesday the 20th, 7:15, then? kewl.

I just started diving with any and everyone who wanted to dive- I met some people on the 'net, and now I'm diving at least once a week or more with them- just be eager and helpfull and stuff. It won't take you long. Go back to your shop you got certified through and sign up for the advanced...

I'm in- I live about 10 minutes from there. I usually dive on Wednesdays, so I'd vote for Monday or Tuesday.

Absolutely! Let us know when you'll be around.

Go ahead and wear your mask on your forehead.

Yeah- gotta chime in for Carta de Oaxaca in Ballard- hands down, the best Mexican food in Puget sound. I grew up in Albuquerque, so I have high standards for Mexican cuisine.

Sounds sweet. I'd like to go there to find out what warm water diving's like someday. The wife and I were talking about doing it next year.

Interesting theory.

That's for the "in memoriam" thread. What this thread is for is talking about what might have happened. It's human nature, as H2Andy pointed out, to be curious about the cause of death. All of the speculation here has been appropriate and reasonable, IMO. Nobody is blaming Lee Harvey Oswald...

Oh, yeah! Right, I forgot. You defenitely don't want to come here. This place is soooo depressing! Rain, moss, dark, rain, mud, more dark, more moss. We only get 2.6 days of sun a year. The diving's great.....as long as you tape your guages to your mask so you can read them. Be sure and use...

It's not part of the Deep Sea Detectives series. It's for Chatterton and Kohler's project, Dive Portal.

"Blamestorming." That's good. As far as the "CSI" stuff goes....of course everyone's speculating. What else could this thread possibly be for? The facts are sparse, and conclusive evidence will probably never be had. Within reason, it's entirely appropriate to engage in a bit of "what if"...

OK, I've never been to the longhorn, but the pit freaking rules. They don't do ribs, it's pork or brisket sandwiches, and a few different sides. They are only open for lunch, and only on weekdays. There is no indoor seating, and no waitresses or anything like that- just get in line, go up to the...

I'm new to diving, and I admittedly don't know much. But I've been following this incident closely. Sounds like Mr. Davie was a pretty amazing individual. The thing about this incident that I keep wondering about is the fact that he made it to the surface, and was seen swimming towards the...

I'm new, but, yeah, there's tons of great diving here. Plenty of fun, even right across from downtown, in West Seattle. If you're not a wuss about cold water, you're gonna love it! Check out the NW Dive club site in my Sig, there's some dive site info there- we just started collecting those, so...

I SHOULD have called off my third AOW dive for numerous reasons. I felt like hell that day, I thought it would be a good idea to do it with my brand new back-mount BC, the surge was stronger than I had dealt with before, and I was horribly frustrated trying to do my nav skills. but since it was...

Better: A Texas-style, steel cage deathmatch chainsaw fight between Geraldo, Rush Limbaugh, and Micheal Moore. No, seriously, only the contents of Al Capone's vault can protect you from sharks.
