    TSD Survey: Who are our technical deep divers?

    You can get to 61' in the Houston Ship Channel if you get a shovel and dig down through the oilOcline about a foot. Not too much deco unless you count "decon" by the local hazmat team....

    The 1st Debate.......... Wadayou think ?

    One thing is for sure - no matter what happens... its going to be interesting. I am not and have never been an Obama fan - I can say that I am impressed by his communication skills - he is a heck of a speaker. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt yet still dont see eye to eye on his...

    R.I.P PacketSniffer

    Rest in Peace Richard, you have touched so many in your short time with us, you will be missed. See you on the other side one day, Brother. Every now and then we are reminded how dangerous this sport can be. Be careful out there folks.

    IMPORTANT--DIMWIT T-Shirt Order

    KV, Tanks, (scuba)tanks alot for your trouble. I realize and know how much of a PITA it can be to coordinate, design and deliver shirt orders for a small group of folks that I work with - much less a bunch of DIMWITS spread across Texas!!! Looking forward to the new shirt - I know that...

    Camp & Dive a Nuclear Missile Silo Oct '08

    I hate to say it but I am out for this one. Hurricane Ike is going to cost me more than I initially expected. I am not going to start ranting about insurance because I am just thankful that I am lucky enough to have a house and power while many have neither. I am interested and will make this...

    Remaining MV Spree/flower garden trips canceled for 2008

    Good post Cpt. Frank good luck on the island its hard to believe how bad it got hammered. I have three friends who completely lost their houses (all on Crystal Beach). I have not had a chance to talk to my Galveston PD/SO dive team buddies yet - hopefully they will recover. I think that it is...

    Camp & Dive a Nuclear Missile Silo Oct '08

    Hurricane Ike has jammed the pocket book a bit so a dive excursion is out of the picture for me for a little while. You guys have fun and dive safe. Take/post some photos!

    Question about the Fling and Spree...

    Thats good news Cpt Frank! I was worried about you guys. Those of us that you know are good to go. Lots of cleanup and no power across the board. I am going to drive over and check on the Senior Sea Chicken tomorrow when I drive in to work. Gods speed in getting things in order on your end...

    Air Breaks: When & How Long do You do Them?

    25/5 if on a long deco using anything hotter than 80% for sure if on pure O2. We used the 25/5 while working the chamber back in the day. I am interested in what others do - should be some good discussion. Thanks for the post.

    Camp & Dive a Nuclear Missile Silo Oct '08

    At this point I am still tentative, been busy boarding up the house and getting ready for Ike - what a pain in the rear. I was going to stay put (or "hunker down") until I heard about the 22' surge in Galveston Bay - I am at 21' - sure hope it doesnt get that high and I can hardly believe that...

    Home Anti-swimmers Ear Brew?

    I grew up with earaches and remember that it wasnt summer until I had a good one or two. I started using a mix of 50% Boric Acid solution and 50% distilled white vinegar and have been pain free for about 10 years by using it after (and before/after in dirty water). I just ran out of my brew and...

    Camp & Dive a Nuclear Missile Silo Oct '08

    I am interested, looks like a check mark that needs to be completed. I will do some checking tomorrow to see if I can swing it. I will also check with a couple of locals who might be interested. One doesnt much care for the cold water..... I will let you know tomorow. Is there a place to park an RV?

    Where is everyone diving this weekend?

    I second that and I am doing a "no Ike strike" dance - no doubt its gonna rain but I think we are good to go unless it does something goofy at the last minute. I hope all goes well on your end and good luck to those in Ike's path. Situation normal on the Gulf coast...

    Where is everyone diving this weekend?

    Possibly diving my back yard - depending on what Ike descies to do. Either there or in HomeyLlama's back yard...... (ok i know it is cheesy but I couldnt resist)

    Where does the valve of a slung cylinder sit in relation to your body?

    Ya they are on the bottom - they will end up on D rings at the lower end of my new 108s allowing the tanks to sit at my side, replacing the string that did the same job. The bungee should make it easier to attach when rolling seas make donning gear a pain. I am going to try it on top as well...
