    Where do subs measure depth from?

    Seeing as how most of the oceans have been charted, and since all submarines have charts, I don't think that submarine skippers worry too much about the bottom in the deep ocean. They are more worried about "shallow" depths, and if they need to know exactly how far off the bottom they are, they...

    The eyes have it... or don't.

    I use those stick on magnifiers. They are actually little plastic lens designed to stick to the inside of sunglasses and turn them into "reading sunglasses". I also bought them at the local drug store instead of buying the expensive ones in the dive shop. I only put one in, though, on the...

    The Abe Lincoln Comes Home!

    That is a Kayak. A lot of people here in the Northwest use these to "cruise" around the San Juan Islands. That one looks like a single person. They also make double Kayaks, so two people can share the fun of tipping over. They come in different styles for different uses. There is the...

    The Abe Lincoln Comes Home!

    Great Pictures, UP I am so jealous, I had to work today, so I had to be satisfied with listening to the reports on the radio. It just wasn't the same as being able to be there, though. I am glad that you were able to be out there and take these great shots. Definitely something to...

    Comments? Advice?

    I stopped at a LDS on my way home from work, just to look around and see what they might have that I might "need". I have seen a few posts about diving twin steel 72's, and wouldn't you know it, they had a pair sitting there, with a manifold with J valve, plastic(?) backplate and harness...

    Don't touch me there!

    Now what am I supposed to do? It is my bedtime and how am I going to get any sleep with this thread running through my head? Good Grief!!! But 2:15am come awful early in the morning. Maybe, I should have waited until morning to read this, then I could have easily stayed awake all day...

    Scott Peterson

    Let's take a look at a few things in this case; First of all, when Lacey is "missing", he is all teary eyed, putting up "missing" posters and offering a reward for her return. Then, when her body and the body of her child are found, where do they find Scott? Down by the Mexican border...

    Are all light sticks created equal?

    Instead of everyone getting hot and bothered over "enviromentally safe" or not, why not look around for a product that might be a better idea? Check out this for one alternative to strobes or glo sticks.

    Ever Wonder.............?

    I did a little research to find out why 4' 8.5" was used as a standard for the width of the rail lines and here is what I found. The "extra" one half inch was added to add a little free play for the rail car wheels. The inside flanges of the rail car wheels are 4' 8" wide and having a...

    Ever Wonder.............?

    Ever wonder why some things are done the way they are? Well, read the following and maybe that will answer your question. Does the statement, "We've always done it that way" ring any bells? Well, just remember that bureaucracies live forever. Here is a prime example......... The US...

    Dive Optiks

    Yes, I have glued Optiks to my lens. I used some stuff called Miracle Glue. Saw it demonstrated at an RV show or something like it at the Seahawks Exhibition Center a couple of years ago. Its technical name is Cyanoacrylate adhesive. You can find their web-site here . I did make a mistake...

    Support America's Servicemembers

    Chickdiver; Very well written post, and thank you for posting that. I just sent a message myself. Like you said, there are some who are opposed to war, but we still have to support our troops, because without them, where would we be? This great nation would not be what it is now without...

    Divers death

    Something I don't understand...... >>Dotteror told the policeman that Kalinowski had come to him underwater and took his extra regulator. After Kalinowski took two breaths from it, he handed it back, the Worcester man said. After Dotteror took two breaths, Dotteror said, Kalinowski took...

    Contact lenses...info please!

    That is a great idea, but...... what are the chances that BOTH contacts come out at the same time? In most cases, only one contact comes out or gets washed out. Then what do you do? Haul out the mask with prescription lenses on both sides? Now you are "over" compensated on the side with the...

    Aeris Atmos Pro

    I think you might want to double check that reg. I may be wrong, but I think the Aeris Atmos Pro is a dive computer. You might have a little trouble trying to suck air on that thing.
