Thanks to ScubaTooth, I found someone who can help me. Now we get to see if the old "Even a blind dog finds a bone/propeller" saying is true or not.

Howdy folks!! (yes, I am still alive) Have need for a dive buddy for a simple search/recovery dive in Eagle Moutain Lake. A fisherman buddy of one of my good customers contacted me needing a diver to recover a $600 boat propeller in 12 feet of water. He's offered a small fee to recover...

Does Zagnette get her own Cabana Boy? PS. We need to do Sweetwater again....

For those needing directions to the production, we'll be meeting at the UNT Lyceum theatre, located in the Student Union. From Dallas, take I-35E north to Denton. Exit on McCormick Street, turn right at stop light. Turn Right at next stop light onto Eagle Drive. Turn Left at next light...

I'll head there tomorrow (Tuesday) and purchase your ticket. Will James (Thing) be attending? Anyone else??

One thing everyone needs to remember is that even after you get out of the water, Boyle's Law is still in effect. What I mean is, if you dive and then nearly immediately head up for a dry land excursion to altitude (hiking or driving through mountains), you are increasing your risk of a DCS...

That would be the add on "Brag patch" like the curved ones PADI has. Picture a small fish with a toothy mouth carrying off a bloody ear.

It was very yummy! But was too chicken to suck the heads... but tail pinchin was tasty. Tooth -- The theatre production is Sunday, so we could do diving on Saturday and then have you come up to UNT Sunday. If that's the plan, I need to know soon so I can purchase your tickets. Shall we...

I'll add my congrats as well! And I'm almost done with mine. Just gotta peg down one or two more things...

You two are more than welcome to join up. This weekend is out for me due to other obligations, but there is a chance for next Saturday. Membership is simple, just show up and dive with one of our "regulars" and get your log book signed. Extra points if you join the "Bloody Ear Club" by...

Well....that cuts out the majority of our group :D

If anyone is interested, UNT is hosting The Reduced Shakespeare Company as they put on their production of All The Great Books (Abridged) where they hillariously attempt to condense the all the best books of western literature down to a 2-hour production. (if you have a cable/DSL connection...

<laugh> We can't all have nifty places to dive in like the Great Lakes and the Saint L. Though both are definitely on my list someday soon.

I call the sofa!! :) If it helps, we can transport your gear for ya to reduce the hassle of carrying it on the air plane. Do ask M and see what she thinks. Hmmm... [bites his tounge and teases] Now what was that saying Michelle like to use about straight lines?

That's a big enough window there.. Lemme check with TwoBit since he mentioned something about his family doing an Orlando Theme Park crawl about then. I hope we would be able to link up with him once we get there. Victoria -- Keep tuned to this thread to keep up with our plans.

To make sure it is stated correctly for any non-divers lurking in the thread, making the "awww" or "errrr" sound during a Controled Emergency Swimming Ascent is to ensure your airway is open to allow the expanding air in your lungs to escape. This reduces the risk of a Lung Overexpansion...

Reason for selecting the wet sub was the reduced cost (both purchase and operation. Plus it's much easier to transport. It's possible for us to hit all the local mudholes with this (as long as they have a boat ramp that allows a 4-foot draft). But that other sub was pretty cool looking...

Tony -- Weren't you the one who was considering converting a pontoon boat for diving use? Can we add in the necessary equipment so we can do something like in this picture? How cool would this be? :)

I'm remain jealous of you folks down there for having such a good site "in your backyard". CSSP is a good spot, but it's 2hr drive in afternoon Dallas traffic for me.

Since you enter this from "underwater" through the back rear, you could stick polls out that direction.
