    Night Diving

    The simple way I look at this is to do a bunch of dives during the day and become very familiar with the site. At night you'll recognize the same things.

    How many have legitimately used your knife/shears underwater in an emergency?

    Great question. I've wondered that too but can think of situations where a knife would be needed.

    Hello Divers!

    Now that sounds pretty cool. I explored (non-scuba) an old Atlas missile silo in Colorado over 20 years ago. Great fun. Diving in one would be a nice twist.

    Rescue Divers

    When I did my RD course I found it was more mental awareness of the situation than the physical ability. I had thought I needed to haul a 250# guy out of the water but he wasn't available (yeah). But the key is knowing how to respond to the gear the person in need has.

    Backplate: SS vs AL for me?

    What area are you diving? I'm considering a BP/W in SS. I'm in the seattle area so the cold water requires more weight.

    These are great. They sure are cool when you come across these big guys.

    Desperately need a better 7mm wetsuit.

    In Seattle area I (and friends) have used the O-Neill J Suite (7M) and been pretty happy with it.

    Discountdivers.com?

    I haven't bought anything from them but I did stop by their place and was very impressed by the quality of their used gear. Seemed like good people.

    Nice. I recently got a G11 and the UW case but haven't dove with it yet.

    Very cool. I dive but my wife teaches high school biology and she loves this stuff. Thanks.

    First night dive tonight.

    The night dives are great because the critters are all active. Have fun.

    Drysuit vs BCD / Wing as Your Buoyancy Control

    I sure like having the BCD control near the end of my dive.

    cute little mini-wreck

    Very cool. Very clear viz. Is this a lake? I've dived in Lake Crescent and it was also very clear.

    Thermal Protection Recommendations?

    Before I switched to my drysuit I had used an O'Neill J Suit. Very nice. I used this in 45 degree water and it was great. Just got cold when I was out of the water which is why I switched to a dry suit.
