Not really all that big, wide and inflexible is probably the better way of putting it. I can get my hands through the rings just fine, its the rings and the latex cuffs that are just about impossible. Even with lots of talc the rings pull off the latex cuffs as I struggle to get them on. Yes...

That's funny, I pasted that in from Word after I used it to figure out the wording. It added the formatting stuff. That should be Disgusted Party.

Quite frankly the reason the gov got reelected was because a few more people voted against what's his name then voted against what's her name. Just like the last presedential election, it was hard to figure out who to vote against. The last one I actually voted for was Perot, and that was more...

I called the Sea The World and turns out they normally have them. Of course, they sold the last pair to the zoo this morning. You have to give Craig credit, if its not true its a great line. :D He should have some more in next week that I can try. Funny part is that's where I got my DCS...

Thanks all for the Viking info. About the Waffle house, is that stop on the way to Gilboa, on the way back, or both, and does it involve lighting a match? :D

BTW, does anyone know of a dive shop that stocks Viking Dry Glove Rings in the Detroit area. I've been in most of the shops and I don't think I've ever seen them. Given the cost its something I definitely want to put my hands on (or through) before I spend any more money.

Personally, the move to Florida or better yet Hawaii sounds good to me. I can pump up the suit a bit, but not too much, I went with a cuff dump instead of the shoulder dump. The slightest positive preasure and it vents. Everything else sounds reasonable then. Hopefully we won't have any...

Ok, the title might be a bit odd granted, you buy a dry suit to stay warm after all. What I'm curious about is tricks people have used to keep warm on the surface interval when the air is cold. I'm thinking of going diving on the New Years day at Gilboa, provided the weather isn't too bad...

A lot of it depends on how well you fit the standard wet suits. For me a standard wet suit has a girth problem, or I have a girth problem, depending on your view I suppose. The hyper stretch deals with it quite nicely, they are also somewhat easier to get in and out of. Down side they cost...

Now there's an interesting thread, what pranks have you seen Mike pull. It might ruin the reputation he's worked so hard to achieve. Don't get me wrong, I actually do appreciate the place, it has been slowly getting better over the years, and Mike gets all the credit for that. When you get...

I almost forgot, the absolute positively essential upgrade to the quary. Real bathrooms and showers in a nice heated private room. No more holding your breath and wondering what died in there that is making the flies so happy. BTW, has anyone considered a mask and regulator with maybe a pony...

Glad you liked it. I was feeling a bit sarcastic last night. Hopefully we can get some others to add some ideas to it and have some fun. But whatever you do, don't show it to Mike, I'm not sure he has a sense of humor and lord knows what might happen.

The obvious problem here is that Mike isn't thinking the right way. There is no money in catering to the masses. He needs to start adjusting his thinking. First off, he needs to cut down the number of spots and put up some decent cottages. To raise the funds for them, he should sell them off...

I would disagree on the car pooling. Everyone of them uses more space than four or more students ground tarps. The number of cars on a busy weekend gets to be a real problem. Every car you keep out increases the amount of space and the more people and their gear that can be accomidated. If...

If he were to number the spots, no reason Mike couldn't also take reservations for them in advance. Kind of like camping spots at RV parks. Regulars could reserve particualr spots ahead of time because they know where they like. I would also suggest numbering them starting at 1 for the most...

Almost forgot. Have a fixed allottment of spaces down there, and only sell that many. That will avoid frayed tempers about paying for it and then not finding a spot. That of course assumes clearly marking the spots. Lets face it the spots are pretty ad hoc.

If anyone happens to talk to Mike, assuming anyone can have a conversation without getting bit. I always have to count my fingers when I have to talk to him. I would suggest the following: To encourage car pooling, charge a fee per car, and then per diver/non-diver to just go diving. Rather...

Of the four divers in our group with front entry trilams from DCS three hate them. The one guy who has a back entry (me) loves it. Main complaint seems to be freedom of movement. For me I didn't feel comfortable putting on the front entry. At DEMA they talk to the DCS folks about it, and...

When I did my open water dives, there was a woman walking around who kept saying I don't dive 55. I didn't at the time understand what she meant. I found out al little later exactly what she meant. At the time I was diving a 7mm farmer john that was way too warm. However my wife and...

Hey Bob, Is the Bell Cuff to replace the cuff's on an existing suit, or do you use it as a cuff with a set of rings? Or am I totally confused?
