This weekend I saw a guy wearing what I believe was a "Mares Dragonfly" BC. There should be a law against selling this kind of crap. The BC was weight integrated and had this really odd inflate/deflate "block" for lack of a better word down by the waist, left side. This guy was obviously...

A "Depth Gauge" measures depth from the surface to the bottom of the keel (typically the lowest point of the boat). A Fathometer measures the distance from the keel (where the hydrophone is) to the bottom of the ocean. I just reread gkwaldee's last post.:eek: "And normally we dont want...

Brand: US Divers Model: Pro Diver Supreme Year bought: 88 or 89 (was in my drunken navy days, still a fog) Maintenance: Worked great. Sat in a box in the attic for years. Took it out and had it serviced. Works like a champ. I also have the Pro Diver Supreme 2nd stage and a chrome...

I have to say one other thing (surprise). If your son wants to be a Navy diver. And I mean ANY kind of diver. He had better be able to commit 100% and then be ready, willing and able to give some more. Physically and mentally. Navy divers are some of the fittest people you will ever...

Julie I just happen to be a Fireman. I am also a Diver on the Water Rescue Team. I also happen to be a U.S. Navy Submarine veteran (86'-90'). First off there are many different ways to dive in the Navy. Like its been said earlier, SEAL's are not the best way to go. They are naval...

I did check, but no sections for Missouri. Most all states around me but not mine.:(

If this is in the wrong place mods please move it. Do you live in S.W. Missouri? Like to dive there? I planned on diving today. Buddies bailed at the last minute. This got me thinking. I need to have a nice base of buddies I can call to go diving with. I, like most are busy. I only...

RebreatherBoy = TROLL I dont even know where to start with you. Anyone with half a brain can read your words and know how full of **** you are. You are the only "low-life arrogant schmuck who thinks the Constitution doesn't apply to him".

Geekdiver From one vet to another, I'm with you and your fine son all the way. I would go all the way in prosecuting this turd (IHOP mgr). I would strongly suggest you find out the owner and make it clear what happened (+ tape it). Make an example out of them (legally) so other unpatriotic...

diverbrian We served in Groton at the same time. I was there from Feb. 87 till Dec. 89 All on the Shark SSN-591. We were usually tied up at the first or second pier. I seem to remember the Providence. Dont remember anyone off her though.

Hehe I'd bet it would be pretty funny looking if it wasnt you. What was the name of the 597 boat? My memory is fading on what class was what. Was 597 a Skipjack class? Ours was a real piece. But we had a really good crew. Could hold our own with the 688's most of the time. You...

Small clarification from an ex Submarine Quartermaster. Everything gkwaldee posted was correct. Typically we use a fathometer while on the surface running to the dive point. As we are making noise anyway. However once submerged if the depth allows the fathometer is "secured". Since a...

U.S. Navy QM2 (SS) USS Shark SSN-591 87-90 Qualified in Submarines '88

Just saw this thread and couldnt resist posting. I graduated from Submarine School in May of '87. They had just quit the free ascent training in the tower. I was sooo pissed. Still feel robbed. I did go on to qualify on USS Shark SSN-591. I specifically asked the Doc about this when...

Dont know about the laws in California. Doubt most of the **** house lawyers that have posted do either. I live in Missouri. And here a Game Warden CAN search you and your home without a warrant. And it can and does hold up in court. If your toting a rifle around in the woods or are...

Thanks for the advice guys. Sounds pretty much unanimous. Will order 13's. Thanks a bunch!

I need to purchase some DUI rock boots. I bought a used suit and the boots it came with are way too small. I wear a 13 tennis shoe. Do you just order the 13? Have they taken into account the socks and suit underneath? Thanks

ABQ I told my wife before we got married to make sure, "she was stocked up at all times". I was never going to pick those up for her. Some things in this world just shouldnt be messed with, cats should not sleep with dogs, etc., etc. I did order a dive rite strap. Was going to make one...

I had 1/8 bungee's on my computer. Had it just right for a wetsuit. Tried to stretch it over drysuit rings and BAM pin popped off. Ive got to figure a better way. The 1/8 I have feels like it "gives a little hard". Bad explanation but dont know exactly how to say it. Would have thought...
