Alki Plains Line Project

If you've read me mention line dives before, one of the team members just setup a nice website with a writeup of our last push on it:

There's also a move clip of the dive:

Heh, and in the writeup, if you look for the diver towing the scooter with three light stages nose clipped and the hella dropped knees, that'd be me... =)

Tomorrow they're going to try to hit 15,000 ft (at 100 fsw) with around 3 hours of bottom time and nearly 5 hours of total runtime... I'm probably going to do one 3k setup drop and then a 3k run to pick up a ton of dropped stages and scoots...

We have so far been unable to teach the seals proper frog kicking technique.

Classic line

BTW, it looks like someone in one of the shots of the team at the beginning has a stage on their right side?

That's one of the push divers...

Its attatched to a d-ring on the backgas like this one...

And that's not the beginning of the dive (in the APLP shot), that's the end, any stages clipped off to backgas like that are empties...

Thanks for the clarification.

They made it out to 14.8 - 15k today (emptying 3 1200' reels onto the end of the line...)
