The link below is to download a zip with the pictures of our trip. Sorry about the quality of some of the pictures. I was playing with my new $150 Aiptek digital video recorder/camera. Not bad for $150 but not great either. The focus seems to have troubles in some direct bright sunlight...

I returned from the Isle Royale trip early Monday morning after the long drive back. I went back and read Jeff's (Nitrox Junkie) comments about the trip and he was right on! You will not go hungry on that trip. I had to ask for smaller portions. RLT divers run a great operation. I highly...

When you do be sure to let me know. I am in for a trip this fall. I have been chomping at the bit to dive this one! Dennis

I just joined the meetup. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I will be diving Isle Royale during that week. Bummer and I live within walking distance of Goose Island! I am looking forward for other events that I may be able to attend. Say hi to O'Malley for me if he shows up. Dennis

Ron, I just checked the TDI site and cannot find any details on the pre-reqs for deco/advanced nitrox classes. I seem to remember something about AOW being a prereq but am not sure. Might want to call your local TDI training facility to get the scoop. I had my AOW when I took deco.

Just my 2 cents on that defog that comes with the seavision masks - The stuff burns eyes like regular bar soap. I am with the Kraken on the J&J Baby Shampoo. It works great and does not burn the eyes. As for the not cleaning it before use, I did the same and did not use toothpaste on the...

I have to agree. Vis was great. I was wondering if you were ok down there. When I left, I think you were the only one left. Dennis

The charter is rltdivers. I attached the link below. I am really looking forward to the diving there. It sounds wonderful from what I gather. Most of the dive sites we will be diving are within recreational depths so no deco and great bottom times. Nitrox and argon are included in the...

Another thing to consider is that an aluminum tank becomes bouyant as it is depleted. If your air was getting down to 800 or less this was most likely a factor for you if you dive aluminum tanks. Dennis

If I had a chance to do it all over again I would buy a backplate and harness set up and not even go the BC route and not wasted all of that money. I have a resonably expensive BC that I will probably never wear again (even for warm water diving). I am with everyone else on the fact of...

I recently started diving dry and have not reached a level of comfort that I would like but it is getting easier with every dive. Up to this year, I always dove wet in low 40 degree F temps. The initial warmth for me was nice but it seems that over extended periods of time, my Pinnicle Arctic...

I am diving Friday but there is no such thing as too much time in the water. I'm in for Saturday. I didnt think I was going to be able to round up anyone for Friday so I planned on diving Saturday anyhow but now it looks like there is interest in both days! What should I bring to eat and...

I believe you are referring to a re-breather. http://www.scuba.com/shop/product.asp?category=157&fromsearch=1&hashvalue=235001

Called Tina and she says that she will open at 8:00am on Friday. RJS and I will be out there at 8:00am on Friday 4/14 if anyone else ends up having any interest in joining us.

RJS, Please let me know if you are in for Friday diving at Haigh. Dennis

Thanks for the info on park regulations and dive sites.

Has anyone done any diving at Isle Royale? I just booked a live aboard charter to Isle Royale for mid June. Dennis Kunstman

Yep - Good Friday. The markets are closed on the 14th so we have the day off.

Tina says she will be open on Friday the 14th but it looks like I am the only one off work. Nordic diver (Bill) is delayed in getting their boat in the water otherwise I would have been diving the car ferry on the 14th and again on the 15th.

Anyone looking to dive on Friday the 14th? It is a work holiday and figured I could get some diving in if anyone else is interested otherwise I will be diving on Saturday the 15th. I want to figure out my weighting with my new Weezle Wear. Dennis Kunstman
