    Can we dive Morrison on Sunday the 28th.

    Using the guage at Carrysville as a guide (thank you Super Bug Man) Morrison is in terrible shape for diving. Whether or not you can physically get on the premises, I don't know. I've been watching the station reports since November and haven't seen anything that would encourage me to drive...

    Anyone used this vendor?

    Scubagolf, Does your wife's suit have the "oceanliner with titanium" lining? it is supposed to dry quicker, and give better stretch among other claims. If so, what is her opinion? Thanks for the input.

    Anyone used this vendor?

    I'm looking for a 5mm wetsuit, one that fits. That's hard for me to find off the rack. I came across an outfit called AquaFlite out of Westwood, CA. Their custom prices seem pretty good and they advertise custom suits in 10 calendar days. Has anybody done business with these folks? Were you...

    Dive Report: Russian Freighter and Tug Philip 11-27-2009

    Great pics, just like always. Beautiful job: I've never dived Tessie but I show her coordinates as 30degrees 11.637'N and 87degrees 14.452'W. That puts her 1.2nm from the Russian Freighter on a course of 284

    Pete's Tide Dive

    Thanks for the offer but I have a handheld GPS for backup as well as printed numbers on every trip. What I don't have is a backup for my bottom machine. Without the depth sounder we just have to go to the numbers and drop the anchor and hope for the best. Still, it's better than not going at...

    Pete's Tide Dive

    CMU You're right there.:D You can't expect as much from an all male crew. Didn't mention it earlier but one diver's computer gave out on the first dive and he didn't make the second dive. When we started up that morning the GPS kept giving a "battery alarm" signal. Couldn't find in...

    Pete's Tide Dive

    Yesterday was as near perfect a day as I've seen for getting to a dive site. The wx buoy said the seas were .3 feet (that's 4 inches) and it was right on the money. After a delay to retrieve a forgotten tank we departed Sherman Cove under warm, sunny skies. Before we even reached the pass we...

    Tex Edwards Dive 10/8

    Four of us set out for the Tex Edwards at first light Thursday. At first, the rollers in the pass were glass smooth about 2 feet high. As they got higher, they got rougher and we wondered if this trip was such a good idea. However, once we got out of the pass, the seas were calm. We dove in...

    Upwelling?

    My computer didn't yell at me. Becoming disoriented seems like the most logical explanation. Still, I'm not sure that explains my buddy having the same problem, nor my difficulty getting back down with no air in my wing. This experience just adds to the fun.

    Upwelling?

    On a recent dive we missed anchoring on the wreck. We were in two teams of two. The first team reported back that they could not see the wreck from the anchor but found it and gave us a bearing to the wreck from the anchor. When my buddy and I reached bottom we could only see sand but started...

    Cypress canoe rental question

    Rented from them last April with cmufieldhocky and a friend of hers. They were very nice folks, even volunteered to put the canoe in the water and pick it up for us. We had my truck so didn't need their help. cmu handled all the arrangements so I don't have many details except I remember they...

    Cypress canoe rental question

    cmufieldhocky, a friend of hers from Tennessee, and I rented from them last April. Unfortunately, cmu handled the transaction and I don't have contact info. Those folks were really nice and very helpful. They even offered to put the canoe in the water for us, but we had my truck. They have...

    Morrison Springs Hours

    One day last week we arrived at Morrison Springs about 10 a.m. to find the gate locked and a no trespassing sign posted. I know the area was flooded a few days before, but as far as we could see from the gate the parking area, it wasn't flooded then. Yesterday I called the County Parks and...

    Morrison and Vortex Report 4/9

    Stopped by Morrison on the way to Vortex, just to see what it looked like. Didn't get a chance. Got there about 10 this morning and the gate was locked and a no trespassing sign was posted. Parking lots were dry but that's about all we could tell. I've only been to Vortex one time...

    Intro

    Hi, I'm Ron and a brand new diver. In fact, the ink may still be wet in my log book. I,ve enjoyed taking friends out to dive. Bubble watching is ok but it's more fun to look up at them than to look down at bubbles from the boat. I'm looking forward to meeting and diving with many of you. I...

    Advanced Scuba Diver

    I'm a brand new diver with only my course dives logged. Your opinion: Should I take the Advanced Scuba Diver course right away or should I get a few dives first? While taking it immediately will get me more supervised instruction sooner, will getting a few dives first allow me to get more out...
