Thanks! I love to support the cleanup...and hope to help clean areas that may not have organized efforts (Monestary beach, for example...). Enjoy!

I just rinse it with water inside and out, drying it carefully each time I use it...No stink...

You are correct, only if you also assume that the word "custom" is meant to only apply to the temperature....I think the word applys to much more ("fit" of the suit, for example) I have a signature series DUI TLS350 but am perfectly fine and toasty in a $200+ softwear fleece undersuit, built...

There is indeed... http://www.sfreefdivers.org/cleanupdive_2004.html

I don't watch the show either...and you might want to keep in mind that the show has many things staged, and things wouldn't really work in real life the way they are depicted on the TV. I urge you to wait until your class to try going underwater with a tank. As an example, breathing in at...

Surely you aren't advising a guy who has no SPG to dive without one... My opinion is that an SPG is much more necessary than a computer...A person with an SPG can rec dive using tables, but a guy with no SPG is adding significant risk by guessing at his air supply. I'll even go so far as...

I also like two cam bands holding my tank on.... And, I have the dive rite backplate and wings setup which does exactly that, in addition to providing a great fit with simplicity.

yes, but for that tank size only...Since you expressed it in psi/min, it will be different for different sized tanks. cu.ft/min (or liter/min, I suppose) is the tank independant expression....

It depends on the water temperature...and perhaps might depend on the type of suit you have. For Monterey (gets down towards 50F in the winter) I use a softwear fleece jumpsuit with a polypro thing underneath...I use a trilam suit (DUI TLS350).

Folks also sometimes forget that LP is an LDS. They just also happen to have an infamous internet presence... :banana:

Although I'd probably agree that you might have occasion to only dump half, I'd rather have the B/C work as advertised, especially if it is new...Are you saying that half of the weight (presumably the weight from the one side) remained after you pulled out the plastic thing?... Seems to me...

Sorry for the hijack... I follow the policy that I try to find an owner, and use the item (if I need it, which isn't often) until/unless they show up. Most of what I've found were weight belts and knives...LOL Have you posted on the ba_diving group on yahoo about item(s) you've found in...

Agreed...Once you found you were not 24lbs overweighted to be able to hold your buddy, you might have been well-served to let go of the fin. Assuming you are properly weighted, the best you could possibly do, assuming you continuously dumped your B/C, is to slow him down. The most negative...

I've bought a reg set and many other items at LP and have been quite satisfied... I've also bought Apeks regs elsewhere online and have liked them as well... Finally, I've bought much at my local LDS, and appreciate those purchases...But, I've only bought at the LDS what they could serve...

I also might join you some afternoon for an early evening or night dive, if you'd like...I'd have to plan it a day or two ahead, but could probably arrange it. I'd be driving from Santa Clara or Mountain View.

Just curious... How much was it?

You can bet that bug went home, did the high five with the kids and said "Hey kids! Guess what? I just pissed off my 1000th diver..." heh

With the warm reception he received, I agree with you.

I think the first time or two you should do drills if you want to guage competence and get to know your buddy...Save the live drills for later, to gain confidence. The live drill can easily turn into a real OOA if you can't easily locate your reg, and fumble the one I give you (which will be...

I'm not burdened with that issue, but several threads here on SB have strongly suggested that there is no problem diving during that time.
