    Clothesline for liveaboard

    I have a couple of different ones in addition to the large towel clips that I also use to hang stuff. One was built by my buddy Dan and is a loop of stainless steel leader with shark clips on it that you can hang over the top of a hanger with your wetsuit to dry other stuff (lycra socks...

    Socorro Island, is there a way to access/hike it during a liveaboard trip?

    No..it's not a thing. That said, we did a couple of hikes in Cocos so if you want to combine diving and land excursions maybe that's another option.

    A new normal...

    Yup...it's awful. I had never had anything like that that reduced me to popping pain pills, muscle relaxers, etc. applying heat and still being able to do nothing but roll around on the floor and groan in agony. Most of the other dumb stuff I have done to myself might have hurt like hell for a...

    A new normal...

    Nope, not exactly.. it happened when we were touring the ranger station. I was crossing that suspension bridge and all of a sudden my leg/butt area started killing me. Could be bouncing around on the gunwale of the pangas all week on my ass and then the bouncing/slamming motion on my...

    A new normal...

    No decent tips, but I messed up a disc (L5 S1) in Cocos last year and it ended up impinging the piriformis nerve that travels down my left cheek and leg. It was up there in the top 10 most painful life events that I can recall and the worst part is it maintained that level of pain for a few...

    Question Sinus Lift for Dental Implants - Any potential issues?

    Not sure if you have discussed this with your oral surgeon yet, but there is quite a bit of spacing needed between those appointments/procedures (or at least there was in my case). I had the extraction and then I think it was a couple of months or so before I had the sinus lift. Once the sinus...

    Question Sinus Lift for Dental Implants - Any potential issues?

    Not a medical expert - just a dude with a sinus lift and an implant. As with all things medical/dental each case is unique but I had an extraction, sinus lift and implant of #3 molar about 6 years ago or so and have done a bunch of diving since then with no problems. Like you, I was worried...

    Osprey Transporter 90 or 120?

    I have that same REI Big Haul bag in the 30" size, an Eagle Creek ORV Trunk (also 30") and an Osprey Farpoint 36 wheeled backpack (liters not inches). I usually bring either the REI OR the Eagle Creek as my checked bag and the Osprey as my carry on item. Like others posted upthread, my reasons...

    Are moderators still active on Rebreather World?

    Congrats! Another angle would be Soggy. I lost touch with him as well, but he was doing some admin work before we sold the site so he might have made a backup at some point.

    Are moderators still active on Rebreather World?

    Wow, there's a blast from the past. Hope things are well, Matt. I can't remember where I dug that up, but I do not have a backup of the site anywhere. My guess is that Rax or Spectre would, but I lost touch with both of them years ago.

    Trip Report Cocos Island - December 2023

    I was on @rongoodman 's boat and it was like a quarantine vessel. We had a couple things rip through most of the passengers at various points during the voyage. "Luckily" I got one of the two illnesses from another passenger who was already sick while we were dining out in San Jose a day or...

    Northern Virginia Checking In

    Many many moons ago in a galaxy far far away...we had a couple relatively active clubs and started a regional forum here on SB. I think most of those folks have moved on, but (if their website is any indication) Patowmack Divers still seems to be alive and kicking. You might try reaching out...
