I'll just post a little welcome from the western hemisphere as well - Washington. When you get tired of the cold waters out there you can come out here and try our cool pacific ocean... Currently at a refreshingly chill 45 degrees... Big T

hehe - well, I left the house and hung out with a friend - how about tomorrow morning somewhere? My afternoon tomorrow is shot. Big T

well, it is not so much an issue of "digging" for me - and I think we all occasionally have to touch soemthing to stabilize ourselves - or maybe I'm just in need of more diving - which reminds me - anyone wanna go dive today? However, my main reason to worry is that I have to hold or touch in...

Dang - You must be BAD at dipping... I ever only get begged for more... See UP - now there is reason for durability! Big T

"wow - are you going diving? do you see anything down there?" - Nope -the fish are all hanging out at the market. Wow - are you going diving? How deep do you go?" - Well, we usually only go to the bottom... (this one leaves alot of people with that blank expression - like they missed...

Vic, I have often heard about your issue and a lot of people recommend an older Mares mouthpiece as well as it was smaller and does not protude as far into your mouth - it may be more for gag issues thoguh - but worth looking up... Big T

Ok - letter and designations aside - I'm a proud geek - I'm not going to post anything and ask you if I look like one - I know that after 14 1/2 hours in the lab - I do look like one. The one thing I can say is that now that I got laid off - 2 weeks ago - MAN do I have a lot of time for...

My S14 seems to hang on just fine - although I did replace the plastic buckle with a SS one recently. No problems so far. Big T

Does this mean I get another new buddy? Cool - I need more buddies - pleanty of water but not enough dving fools... Give a howler when you get up here - I'm relatively close to you... (Relative being a relative term and all - but I'm closer than UP and scuba kat) Big T

Hmm - interesting thread - I was really active here for a while - but then I got really busy with work and - uhm - diving all the time... Then I found that a lot of times when I read a thread there is already a number of replies from UP, LY or Roakey - and they are all people who think...

I got into diving for the fun of it - I figured I could take warm water dive vacations and have some fun... Turns out that I have just only booked my first warm water dive this year and that all else have been cold up here in the sound... (Heading to Dominica for a week of warm water)...

I have a setup that is identical in so many words to that of UP's. Here is what I use: AL 6cf Luxfor bottle with a 300bar DIN valve.. SP Mk2 1st stage with OPRV and Button type SPG.. Inflator hose... However - I'm not adding a lot of gas to my suit - I typically get 8-10 dives on my...

Yeah - the bag is most likely too heavy for even Helium to keep it up - you are just going to have to sit there and tug on it... ;-) Big T

Len, the context of the reference is that if you have taken a GUE class in my neck of the woods - you suffer from paranoia, because the last thing you would see was a hint of blue gloves before your gas got shut of or your mask took a hike... The definition of a stroke was given to me by...

he he, UP and Pete - I think I see where your bet came from - I guess we have new candidates to carry bags for AG? Anyway - I find the idea of readin Nietzhe during deep stops very interesting - Übermensch - anyone? Can we define "stroke"? I have yet to see a definition - so it seems...

UP - argon is denser than air - therefore your argument that the marker or bag will stay vertical on the surface is flawed - it will lay down - the only way to make it raise up out of the water would be to use He - ¿no? Also - make sure that whatever bag you have - the inlet valve is...

I have to say that I strongly discourage anyone from penetrating - I know of several peopel who will routinely penetrate and leave their buddies behind outside - only to later tell a tale of how they managed to silt out a room and had to feel their way out... What did Darwin say? However...

Hey Doc, Thanks - I have heard that Champagne may not be the dive I will remember the most - but it sure seems to be the only one anybody around here has ever heard of... I got my flight by using frequent flyer mile and fly into Melville from San Juan. I have a friend down there who is...

Hey - I have cashed in some of my FF miles and am going ot Dominica in late April - Want to dive Champagne reef and enjoy the weather in general. Any experiences with operators or general info on the island? Thanks, Big T (Yes, this will be my first warm water dive trip ever...)

I have to vote for http://www.fifthd.com - GUE shop and even the ow classes are taught to make sure people get proper buoyancy before they are let loose. Cheers, Big T
