    100th dive done in your lovely area!!

    My 100th dive was beautiful! Surrounded by great dive buddies, sealions, calm seas, and whales for a surface interval... I couldn't have ordered a better dive. I'm hooked on SoCal diving now.... any cure besides giving in to the cravings? :daydreaming:

    Low O2 in Puget Sound

    Hi all, I was sent this link to some video that was shot in Puget Sound of the hypoxia of the Pacific Ocean and it's terrible impact on the wildlife. Just makes me sad. I sure hope that balance is restored soon. Sund Rock Low O2 Mon Sept 27th - Janna Nichols - Pacific NW Underwater...

    Coming to Chicago June 20-24

    Hi all! I'm driving down to the Chicago area with my 15-year old, newly certified nephew, and I am hoping for the impossible. Since it would seem like a waste to drive for 19 hours and not dive in Lake Michigan, we would like to check out some of the shallower wrecks, but unfortunately we...

    Left my divelog in rental car in Fort Lauderdale

    I'm devastated! :puppy: I can't believe that I did it, but I actually lost my dive log! I've been calling the rental agency, begging them to find and return my log, but I think I am going to be out of luck. So my question is... how tragic is this? I will have to replace my C-card and...

    Women style Ranger

    Just a quick thanks for creating the fabulous Women's Ranger. I think I was drooling a bit while fondling it at DEMA. Now I have to figure out how to tell the hubby that I need to trade in the 8 month old Ranger that I currently dive with. Any suggestions?

    The difference one year makes

    Well, it was my birthday yesterday. So after my diary entry chronicalling what a great day today was... the paying off of my drysuit, booking my dive trip to Port Hardy for the end of the month, and the great drinks and appies I had with my buddy Dawn, I decided to read what I had said last...

    Very basic zipper wax question

    Wohoo! Got a Fusion drysuit! Yay. This is going to be the best cared for piece of equipment since the beginning of SCUBA. Now if only I can figure out what is meant by "waxing the zipper". Yup. I see the wax. Yup. I see the zipper. From what I've read, I want to wax the...

    Okay, I know that July isn't the best time to come diving, but...

    My brother's wedding is July 11, and I'm hoping to get some diving in too. My time for the week before the wedding is totally un-structured, so are there any areas/islands that might be more protected from bad weather that I should start looking at? I'm not looking for guarantees, but I...

    Ticks

    70 minutes of diving, 3 hours of tick search and removal. It was still worth it.

    Thank you, Shaka Doug!

    Thank you for the fabulous dives, Doug. And I'd really like to say how much I appreciated you taking good care of my less skilled, air sucking husband on the scooter dive. I originally was going to try to convince him not to go, but after meeting and diving with you - I had no more...

    How often does a free-flowing regulator really happen?

    I'm looking into purchasing my first regulator. :D Since I'm looking at ones that will be good in colder water, I'm noticing a lot of reference to free-flowing. How often does this really happen? I understand why it happens, I practiced what to do in the pool if it does, but I'm sure not...

    Okay, I'll bite. What's the Kool-Aid for?

    I'm sure I'm going to feel like a :dork2: once I get the answer, but... What does all the scuba reference to Kool-Aid mean? I have spent the last 2 hrs searching this board, and then just google searching. Lots of people say they are going to drink or not going to drink Kool-Aid. But no...

    Has scuba replaced anything in your life?

    Well, I'm noticing that I don't have room in my life for one more obsession. Therefore, something has to go. The dogs have been a little neglected, but I'm thinking of giving up cleaning my house. What has gone to the wayside in your lives?

    Can I be an honorary member?

    I just wanted to mention how envious I am about your Beach Crabs group. The freedom to just 'post-and-dive' that you all have, along with your obvious respect and friendship is quite inspiring. I found this part of the board because FishNut was giving me some guidance about a possible trip...

    Yay, no longer a dive-infant

    I'm a dive-toddler, now. Flew to the west coast (Vancouver Island) this last weekend and did my dive 4 for OW, then did 4 more dives. And on one of the dives I actually felt like I was getting the hang of this. I was cold, and scared, and facinated, and thrilled, and agitated, swollen...

    uncontrolled finning ascent

    Hi. I have a problem with keeping a horizontal motion when I’m finning. I can control my buoyancy when not moving, I have good horizontal positioning (when I tuck my head, I can see behind me instead of looking at my knees). I have the commentary running thru my head “Maintain long...
