    Fall GLWC M&G - Save the date: October 19-21, 2012

    I am looking into it. I need to see what my professors will have in store for me as far required study during the week. The Spring Meet and Greet happened right after finals week so prepping dive gear during that week was out when I had to study for exams.

    GLWC Fall M&G October 14-16

    I use wet gloves for the reason that I am not manly enough to like freezing my hands off. Read the book Dark Descent and you see my luck with dry gloves. For me, dry gloves are concept that never are quite dry. At least with wet gloves my hands are insulated. I hope that you are having a...

    I would rather be there myself. There have been some things going on starting last week that I simply could not get out of doing. I will be looking forward to seeing you all in the spring.

    GLWC Fall M&G October 14-16

    I took my tanks to the shop and I am getting set to get them filled. Now, I have a family emergency which means that I am not available next weekend.. The gear will have to stay dry until spring. I hope that you have a great time! I will try to see you all in the spring.

    GLWC Fall M&G October 14-16

    I plan on filling up my doubles with 28/20. I won't be there until late Friday afternoon, so a deep dive on Saturday for me is a definite possibility :) . I may wish to do a deep dive on Friday evening, but I do not know if I wish to wait for the tank refill on Saturday morning from that. My...

    GLWC Fall M&G October 14-16

    I will be leaving here about 1:00 Friday afternoon. That should put me in Gilboa about 5:00 to 5:30 pm. Maybe someone will be up for an late afternoon or early evening eye-opening dive.

    Switch to Hogarthian Setup - Air Consumption Woes

    I remember when I first switched to a hogarthian rig, my RMV went up. Eventually with more dives, I was more confident in the gear and had to make fewer buoyancy adjustments. That came with time and experience. My basic advice is to settle down. Become comfortable with your gear and don't...

    GLWC Fall M&G October 14-16

    I have reservations for the apartment on October 14 and 15. Kathleen and I will be arriving with some "sweetness". I can't wait to see you and tip a few after diving.

    R.I.P Netmage

    I used to dive with Tim quite a bit up here. I remember his sense of humor and his skill. He will be missed here.

    Went diving yesterday

    Since beginning this straight day job that I currently have, I haven't been able to take advantage of the opportunities which the weekends present until now. Yesterday, I was introduced to another dive boat up to the Straits of Mackinaw. The boat is older boat and doesn't have a name yet. It...

    GLWC Spring M&G April 15-17, 2011

    At present I am in a nice, dry, warm bed, but in 45 minutes I will have to head to work. The second wife (my employer) has been getting more demanding by the day. Kathleen wants to know know if the recipient of the TOP SECRET Quarry Cake recipe has made any for the group in her absence. We...

    GLWC Fall MnG

    We need to find another trailer to help form our little horseshoe if the bunkhouse will not be there! In any case, I had a wonderful weekend and my bride-to-be echoes that sentiment. I thank all that provided me with dive buddies for the weekend so that I could practice my buoyancy and...

    GLWC Fall MnG

    Tim, Mike's Non-Upside Down Cherry Chocolate Quarry Cake is a dessert that acts as a culinary GPS to know Mike's location. When Kathleen brings it, we ration it out to Mike and simply follow the trail of cake crumbs which leads right to him. When rationed properly, it is a powerful tool. As...

    Called my first dive...

    You made a good call, but I wonder if there wasn't a reason that there were only two of you on the boat. I have dove in that kind stuff when I was little more "adventurous", but not anymore. I will go out on a boat sometimes to see if it is more smooth by the time that we get out there, but I...

    Dunderberg Death

    I actually read the obit in the Saginaw News. They gave more detail on the accident and the diver in question. The accounts that I have read so far indicate a situation much as the tech divers here have been talking about. They indicate that the diver was not breathing and had passed out...

    Dunderberg Death

    I quit carrying a slate that I could write on some time ago. I never used it and when I tried, the pencil didn't show well. I have a wrist slate with emergency stops written on it per my dive plan, but that isn't much of a help in this case. I will amend that to say that if I send up a lift...

    Looking for a charter in SE Michigan

    I second Mitten Diver's post. I simply believe that we are talking about someone with a doubles friendly boat and maybe with the patience to let divers execute the plans that they are comfortable with. The reason that I mention this is that I have been on a couple of charter boats that I...
