    Diving Glacier Bay

    Im going there this summer, and I was there last summer. You have to remember that there is glaciers dumping tons of fine sediment into the water. You could find a clear section if you look hard but my best bet would be outside of GB. Vis is going to be normal, around 5 feet also GB has some of...

    Charter boat season starts soon!

    There is a great camp ground Lowell Point, they have some great access to some shore diving (I haven't dived there since I was working and flying all week in the helicopter.) I did some shore fishing and it seemed to drop off to 40-60 feet near a outcrop. I would love to dive with you guys but...

    Fairbanks(Interior) divers

    I haven't dived any lakes in Fairbanks, most of my diving is in Northern California and Juneau. I haven't had time to go to the lakes or ponds in Fairbanks but I want to dive the clear water lakes.

    I have my own gear, so far I have: bp/w+kit, reg kit, drysuit, two tanks. Im trying to find a few more tanks and a AL40 for a bailout since I dive solo a lot.

    Lack of diving infrastructure in Alaska ...

    I drooled over your set-up, but you can do a lot of mixes and as of now I just do air. Is that a booster on the back wall next to the controls? Also what type of compressor do you have?

    Deco Cylinder Mishap

    I was thinking about this and usually cars and especially with my truck I have a small short and i get shocked every now and then. This could have been the source of the ignition point since it is a large spark and it has fuel: plastic, carpet, and vinyl.

    Do you use more lead in Drysuits with improvised undergarments?

    I dive with permaloft tops and bottoms for winter and only use 23lbs of lead with a ss back plate, for the pool its 0. I use al80s and still haven't dialed it in yet, but with a few more dives and finding the sweet spot I should drop 5-10lbs.

    I finally got a drysuit!

    Thanks I was looking at Dive rite in and they do have good prices. I have been looking and trying to find the right dry suit. I have tried a lot of the DUI suits and fell in love with the TLS350 QZ, I tried a 50/50 and the bottoms end up squeezing my nether regions, the Back zip was nice but I...

    I finally got a drysuit!

    I got off e-bay for 520$ a slightly used DUI TLS350 QZ! I have been looking for two years and have always lost, now I am the winner! It was cheap because it didn't come with wrist seals and has a hole in the boot, I was going to anyways replace the boots since I have large feet and wrist seals...

    gold diving??

    It's not hard to get the rec permit. I have gone panning and have found a bit of gold but you don't have to dive in a river since most of the gold deposits hang in shallow areas that allow the gold to drop out. This is usually behind boulders, in pools, vegetation, and along the bottom/sides in...

    Wow it actually looks interesting and not the oddity of a bunch of idiots, but real professionals and something of interest.

    gold diving??

    You need to have a claim to mine in alaska for commerical aspests and that is a pile of paper work and a lot of money is involved. For recreational gold panning there are limits on gear. The gear must be light, shovels and hand tools are permited, dredges are allowed but must be small and light...

    Lack of diving infrastructure in Alaska ...

    I you want a good idea about what to expect, treat it as a fishing charter and break down the costs: -Vessel 30-45 feet thats around 30,000 for a pile and 400,000 for something that runs and will be turn key. Anything under 30 feet is stupid going on open water with a lot of people. Plus a...
