    Driving with tanks upright in pickup?

    I want to build either a stand that will hold tanks upright when they are in the back up my pickup, or something else that will keep them standing upright. What do you guys think? Have any of you done something like this or do you just lay them down?

    Captain Aquas in Dublin

    When (typically) do Dive Shops have "Sales" ?

    Some dive shops have small sales like a 10 percent off tuition, but lately, there have been a lot of "going out of business" sales. I think like 4 dive shops went out of business in the bay area. I know of atleast 3 in my city that have failed in the past 10 years.

    Monastery Beach - When to/not to dive

    To me, monastery is one of those mythical dive spots. When its dive-able, there probably isn't a shore dive in the Monterey area that compares to it in its beauty, life and personality. Things like this last death just reminds me that every rose has thorns

    That took an interesting turn. I got another call back that they werent going to dive last night because of conflicting reports from the father and other bystanders. They are going to meet today at 8am and bring out the sonar and sidescan stuff to determine if there really is a body down there.

    Lesson learned the hard way (almost)

    it was the exhaust valve at the back of the low pressure inflator. we did back rolls because we knew what that part of the bottom was like. Also, i was about the 10th diver in the water.

    Energy drinks before diving ???

    check out what our department gets to do

    We've been told we get to participate in it, but i have no idea exactly what we are doing.For some reason, i dont think we will be doing the high speed stuff that is posted on the website. It will probably be clearing the port/big ships for bombs again...or just standing there looking cool
