    SoCal Birthday dives in Monterey! 11/18 - 11/21

    Let us know when you'll be where, and we'll make it a party...My B-day is just over a week before you arrive...I'm sure I can convince the wife to let me dive...If you boat dive on the WE, I can join you...I can't dive during the week right now...

    Suggestion Mozillascubaboard search plugin

    Is there some reason you can't just post it here? I'm sure it isn't much bigger than most pics...

    Questions about rigging my bp

    I trim with a knife and burn the ends... As for a good place to buy, there are several...I use a Dive-Rite harness and backplate setup. Good luck!

    Deceptive LDS practices..RANT...

    I consider Sport Chalet to be a big Sporting Good store, and my local Sports Chalet seems to have embraced scuba...They do air fills (not mine, but they do some...) have equipment, offer instruction, etc.

    Kama'aina diving deals

    Is there some reason UPS or Fed Ex doesn't deliver? Or is it expensive? For some reason, receiving something UPS ground in Hawaii seems kinda hilarious to me today...

    Safe ascend with empty tank.....

    I think Drew means..."no" deco limits...heh I think if you are that low on air the best thing to do is to safely ascend, and get to the best air supply available (the atmosphere...). Though both are *bad*, running out of air and dying is infinitely less preferable to DCS.

    LDS for repairing latex drysuit seals and other repairs?

    Otter Bay (Monterey) isn't in the bay area, but I'd take the suit to them...

    Suggestion Remove Introduction and Greets from New posts search

    You could make it opt-in, but I guess that would negate the reason for the forum....

    which gas-switching nitrox computer

    This question sounds familiar...Have you asked it elsewhere recently? I like the Suunto Vytec...three gases, if you need them...Unfortunately, it doesn't handle He mixes, since the min. o2 % available is 21... Oh well...I don't use He, so it doesn't matter to me.

    proper weighting

    You have it quite close... I like to be roughly neutral at ten to fifteen feet with 500psi or so in your tank. I err on being a pound heavy, rather than a pound light. Scubaboard has seen this subject a number of times...there is probably lots of info available which you can find using...

    buy gear online or LDS

    If you are going to buy from them exclusively(and pay their higher prices), I hope they at least give you the air for free...Otherwise, aren't you paying twice for the air (since that seems to be the primary reason you cite for using your LDS exclusively)?

    Legal Action Against Us Distributors

    Or, I think it is actually better never to *need* a warranty.... So, I'd put it something like "Don't buy an item that is poorly designed, whether it has a warranty or not, gray market or not." Same with a manuf. having a history of defects....Regardless of whether I buy from gray market...

    Leaving tomorrow: Bring weights?

    We already know soft weights fit in the pockets...heh...Will hard weights fit in the pockets? If so, you might consider leaving the weights home and take the pockets...I would think weights would be available at the destination. And, you won't be carrying much weight when you dive. (!!)...

    Single and Diving after wisdom teeth removed?

    Seems to me that it would depend on the method used to remove them.... And, what does "clean" mean? Is the ocean as clean as they want your mouth?

    Major Problem

    You don't say what you are using for exposure protection...But, a wetsuit obviously operates just as you say...Perhaps the wetsuit (if that is what you are using) is too loose in the areas you are having trouble with? What thickness suit are you using? A drysuit is another story altogether...

    Legal Action Against Us Distributors

    Is this a troll? I think the first question is...what is it worth to you personally? Suppose you could file...Do you want to sustain the cost of the suit? My guess would be an antitrust or trade regulation type of attorney would do just fine...It won't be cheap... You want a...

    What kind of dive trip? If its a liveaboard, don't forget earplugs...Boats sometimes move at night, and you can sleep easier with earplugs...

    A sad story what are your views?

    While I agree 100 percent with what Kimber states here, I ask.... Who is to say that the decision the guy made to become a father wasn't irrevocably made prior to the conception (whoever it happened) of the embryo? That is certainly the case in the normal way of conceiving and having a...
