Well, it's been three years on a project in Northern California and now I find myself back in the Pacific Northwest. Though I'll miss the diving in Monterey and, to a lesser degree, Lake Tahoe I'm happy to be back. Tides look a little weird but I'm anxious to dive. If I can hook up with anyone...

My field is logistics, operations, sales and customer service and I'm looking for work. I would be a great fit in a retail sales operation or warehouse logistics manager position. These skills translate across industry lines and geographic borders. I have years of successful experience...

BCD Sale - a set on Flickr Gently used BCD with Aeris knife. Size XL. I'm selling this BC only because it doesn't fit me as well as it did. My fault, I lost a lot of weight and would like to sell this one to buy something that fits better and that I can expand to doubles. Looking for $295...

I'm planning to wander over to either Monterey or north to Gerstle Cove, Stillwater Cove and that bunch. I'll decide which later on today or tomorrow morning. I know Monterey has accomodations aplenty with the diveshops right there, restaurants and motels (Lone Pine?) but if anyone would please...

Maybe I'm just tired but I've had enough searching on the web for tips on the smart way to do Maui. I'm going to beg some knowledge from my fellow SB members. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction after I explain what I need. What a drag sifting through the advertisements. There's...

Each room of the new house is filled with boxes labeled United Van Lines. I dreamed about boxes last night after six days of unpacking. Usually I dream about warm beaches and clear water but not so much anymore. I'll miss the proximity to the marine environment and the great dive buddies I was...

What a great title for this thread...NOT! "Needing Some Info", what the hell is that? :shakehead Geez, my company has offered me a promotion but it involves moving to Sacramento from Seattle. One of my passions is diving and I live ten minutes from pretty good diving and maybe two hours from...

I need it to keep my eyeballs from freezing! :11: Coming out of the surf between the pilings and the oil dock I thought I had a hold of it but I guess the hands were colder than I thought. Please let me know if you find it. A TUSA with gauge readers. Thanks! (Added Phone Number...

:confused: I'm curious if anyone other than me is concerned about this major sewage spill in Puget Sound? I know the EPA is investigating and that it is considered a major ecological event. With our government "leaders" hesitant to really pinpoint the severity of certain events I'm wondering if...

I saw that there were some comments here and there on other threads about an Orca-dive sometime in the future. Fall? Early winter? Here's a thread where we can focus on ideas, times, participants and other details. Maybe I can even go! :popcorn: (And if there already is such a thread...

That's last night, September 27th, 2006 at the Underwater Park. My buddy lost his favorite mask last night. It's distinctive in that it has a yellow tinted lens and a black skirt. It was lost in the bay on the shore side of the eel grass. Sounds easy enough to find but it was dark! If you...

This was the third dive on this computer. It performed as advertised throughout the dive. I soaked it, dried it and hooked it to the PC. Went to SET 1 and punched it up to PC mode. Opened the program initiated download, got "Found USB", got "Handshake" got "Time Out". Tried twice and looked at...

This is kinda embarrassing but I've done a search and couldn't find the answer. OK, here goes. Why are tank O rings two bucks a piece at the LDS? Are they special SCUBA O rings? My guess is they aren't special so if I went to my hardware store could I pick up an O ring for, like, 50 cents...

In most threads I've researched on the use, choice, size, deployment, dive style, necessity, philosophy and mounting of a bailout bottle I haven't seen this question adequately addressed. For those that mount their bailout tanks to their main tank I've noticed that some mount them upright to...

Just finished my first dive with my new Atmos 2 wrist unit. It seems to meet my expectations but I've got to ask whether that back-light is broken? In the ads, and on the Aeris website, the demo shows a pretty bright blue color. I decided that feature would increase the contrast and make it...

What's the general consensus here among SB divers?:confused: My impression is that I'd like fewer pieces of equipment and a wrist mounted, air integrated computer seems to be the way to go. But I've heard the transmitters are fragile and this system is very expensive. I'd like to know what...

Body Of Missing Diver Recovered Near Bellingham June 16, 2006 By Associated Press BELLINGHAM - The Coast Guard says a San Juan County dive team has recovered the body of a missing diver near Bellingham. Petty Officer Jeff Pollinger says the body has been turned over to the Skagit...

The big back-lit reader board over a department store in my town was headlined with "HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!" below which were a few specials for the weekend; sleeping bags, coolers and what not. I parked and went in but for some reason I couldn't shake that image of the billboard. I had other...

I did a search here in Orca Bait and couldn't find what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for is good viz reports to lure me to an area or bad viz reports that I may shy away from. I'll usually dive any viz because for me it's the diving, not the seeing unless in an area where I specifically...
