Thanks everyone for the great response to my previous post (Texas Swamper (bogrady) wants to dive Eastern CT). We're getting closer to the date now and I was just looking to see if anyone was planning anything for the Saturday 24-August in the Jamestown area. Our current plan is to dive Ft...

I posted this over in DiveNY but no one was able to help so ... Howdy from the land of endless low viz water - I'm coming up to visit my son in Haddam CT the weekend of August 23rd, for the specific reason of getting some dive time in - we have not been in the water together in over 2 years...

I’m trying to read the Dive Organizer database with one of the many open source SQL readers out there. Seems that Mares has encrypted the database to prevent us from reading our own data! Come on guys – the software may be yours, but the computer and the dive data is MINE! If you think I’m...

Travis County Search and Rescue will be training some of its search and rescue dogs for underwater body location on Oct 1 and Oct 2 on Lake Georgetown. This is an all-volunteer organization and they need 6 divers to literally play dead in the lake for the dogs to locate. I participated in this...

But only a Wholy Bagel from Oak Hill can be DIMWIT ... The Everything Bagel from Wholy Bagel in Oak Hill. The only authentic NY bagel you can get in Texas. Even more tasty in the Bell Grotto, 47 FFW off Wentz Park, Lake Travis. Special huge thanks to Randy Cook for taking the picture...

Selling my hardly ever used ProPlus2. Got it as a gift 2007/2008 timeframe and used it only a few times. Its been sitting in my kit as a backup since then and I don't really need it. $290 shipped anywhere in the continental US.

The long lost younger O'Grady will be back in Texas with his dive gear over the Christmas holidays. I'm looking to get up enough Swampers so he can enjoy a day on the Giant Stride before he heads back North. How about it - any interest in kicking off the New Year and making Stephen feel like he...

Selling my hardly ever used ProPlus2. Got it as a gift 2007/2008 timeframe and used it only a few times. Its been sitting in my kit as a backup since then and I don't really need it. $325 shipped anywhere in the continental US.

I've got a 3 year old Bare XCD2, size Xl with size 9-10 hard boots on it. Has less than 20 dives on it, only 2 in salt water. All the dives were just after I bought it. Right after I bought it I lost some weight and bought a smaller size. Been holding onto it in case I gained it back, but...

I have a Pro Plus 2 and love the large display. Problem is - I want a wrist mount and really don't need or want integrated air. My SPG is just fine. How would the Pro Plus 2 operate if I just "cut the hose" and strapped it to my wrist? Would it still operate? Would the DTR algortihm just...

I’ll be in Stavanger Norway for most of February and I’ll have a few weekends open. I was wondering what the diving opportunities are in Stavanger this time of year. I understand it will be COLD, -I like cold and I’m an experienced dry suit diver. I won’t be able to bring my gear so I’ll have...

I don't want to hijack O'Shea's tradition here, but I've given up my prime spot as one of Santa's Elves in THE Macy's Thankgsgiving Day Parade to stay in town this year. Anyone up for the traditional Thanksgiving morning dive out at Wentz/Windy Point? I'll be out there. Anyone who is going...

There is a moderate possibility that I'll be doing some business in Longview on Friday April 3rd, and I'd hate to waste the opportunity to finally sample the waters at CSSP. I can't commit yet - but if I were to show up on Saturday morning April 4th - would there be any regulars out there that...

I was planning on just working around the house on Saturday, but when I stepped outside and felt that brisk winter air all I could think was "Perfect dry suit diving weather!" So honey-do's and viz be damed - I threw the gear in the car and headed out for a little solo time at Mansfield...

Anyone doing a shift at Aquarena this weekend? - I just put my request in for 2 tours on Saturday.

I feel I owe it to my Swamper brethren to come clean before someone discovers this and it becomes an uncontrollable scandal ... Some of you may be aware that I'm not actually a Texan. I was born and raised in NY and didn't get here until 15 years ago. In fact my son and dive buddy Stephen is...

I'm about to place an order for a Salvo light. But I'm torn on the LED or HID choice. I dive the dark murky waters of Lake Travis here in Austin Texas. Its low viz (typically 10 feet) lots of particulates and even a high noon bright daylight dive is a night dive at 90'. My buddy dives a Dive...

Friday’s taste of the old Scuba Park has me hankerin for more, and Stephen is looking for his chance to explore too. Anyone out there interested in getting on the Wednesday PM dive. I’d like to do a two tank dive at the old Scuba Park. Since it’s a PM dive, it’s a nice short trip from the...

I finally had the opportunity to join the Lake Travis Scuba fan club on Friday. I ran into Robert out a Windy Point last weekend and managed to win myself a spot on the official Devils Cove Anchor Recovery Team. Since the Swampers seem to be into acronyms these days – that’s the LTS-DCART from...

The Pro Plus 2 manual states: “End Pressure Alarm: Factory set for 00 PSI/BAR (disabled), the End Pressure Alarm can be set to values between 300 and 1500 PSI …” Once I’ve set it to a value, how do I get it back to the factory default of 00 PSI/BAR (disabled)? All I can do now is cycle...
