    Hockeynut injured

    I just saw this thread. Evidently Hockeynut was seriously injured at work when crane fell on him. Once again Scubaboard is rallying to help one of our own. Jim isn't exactly a Swamper, but I think everyone on Scubaboard has talked to him at some or other, so I thought I'd repost this here for...

    Swamp Diving - be a body

    This was posted to the UT dive club. I spoke to Karen and half a day of diving is fine, if that's all the time you have. Lake GT has about 6 inches of viz on a good day so this qualifies as Swamp Diving for sure. Working depth is 10-14 feet. Temp last weekend was 82F. Divers go down in pairs...

    Sept 10-12 Possible Swamper Camp Out at Windy Pt Private

    :hijackedthread: Lake Travis Scuba has spoken. The 6th is the official Labor Day Moday holiday. If the following weekend works for enough people I can probably take off early Friday and stake out a camp site. And get in a dive or 2. :D I'm not much at organizing so all you BBQ champs can do...

    washing undergarments

    Friends with more dry suit experience than I are telling me that I will ruin the insulating qualities of my (MK2) undergarments if I wash them with soap, and particularly if I dry them in a dryer. They are using vinegar and letting them drip dry. They don't smell too bad so I guess it works, but...

    Shaker Plant dive off the Giant Stride Th AM 11/19

    Would anyone be interested in being the 4th diver on the Giant Stride if it visits the Shaker Plant Thursday AM 11/19? So far it's Willie, Chadpeddy and me. Robert will probably have warm water pre-fills for anyone diving wet. Haven't had a Travis viz report for a while. :D
