You should see the looks I get when folks spot the KY Jelly in my dive kit. I use it as a lubricant for my wrist seals. Works great! Okay, I have a mustache and no purge valve. It leaks constantly, but I'm used to it and clearing is automatic. I don't use vaseline (and I wonder if it...

dotyj, You're not really that far away in Vancouver. Once you get certified you can hop in the rig and head to the canal. I expect you can be in Hoodsport in about two hours, right? That's not a whole lot longer than it'd take me from Seattle. There you can dive two of the Northwest's...

:laugh: Thanks!

. . . and promise not to engage in a political discussion on the board all day. And I'm taking the little dancer to the memorial at the international fountain (or whatever they call it this month) this evening and lighting a candle. And thanks, AquaTec: we'll do that.

So you're hitting the dive site with a pony that's not full? Why? Most LDS's around here will top off the pony for nothing, especially if you leave money there often (fills, vips, hydros, gear). So you're loosing a little gas when you test the reg and when you take it off, but that takes a...

One particular dive buddy I have started 'taggin' us with bad music just before we descend. You know how you get a tune stuck in your head? well, just before going down he's try to stick some disgusting song in our heads. It works very well. So now we work on outdoing one another. The...

The first personal comp I worked with had 4K of RAM and a tape recorder to store the files/programs. Disks? Heck, this thing didn't even have lower case letters. Remember the Z-80? Gotta go take my Geritol now.

I plan to be contemplative today. And to dive as often as possible. Peace.

:laugh: hahahahahahahahaha This thread is too funny! Cracks me up (that's slang for makes me laugh).

We did a live boat dive a few years back and the skipper lost our bubbles. I guess he thought we were just going to poke around in the kelp forest and we thougth we would do a drift dive (bad planning?). Anyhoo, we ended up about 1/4 mile away and my buddy had a Dive Alert. He set it off...

Funny you mention that site. That's where I pulled the quote: http://www.pina3.net/dive/stroke.htm :laugh:

My dives usually start about the time I submerge and end about the time I surface. They're generally the right length. That's how long a dive is for me.

Scorpio, water. Interesting poll. Interesting results. I hope we get a lot more responses.

Converse canvas sneakers work great and save a bundle. Gotta get 'em big enough. I've been diving rock boots/Converse for about four years now and love them. No problems. I can see the snagging potential with the laces, though. I usually tuck the laces in, but I like the duct tape idea a...

As I said, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. socal: how do you reconcile your contradictory viewpoints? Can Jane and Tom speak out (whine) and still remain here? Can whiners be 'good' Americans? Or are you speaking as gedunk and ladydiver suggest about Jane's actions in...

Semper Fi means there is no such thing as a 'former Marine'. Just one like me: not on active duty. I'm heading off to Alki now to blow bubbles. Gedunk, you have a great one yourself. Go get wet!

Except that he wants "the "Jane Fondas" and "Tom Haydens" of this country" to stop, "moaning and groaning about the Vietnam war and how wrong it was." And suggests that they leave if they don't like it. IMHO they are trying to speak out and initiate change through the aforementioned social...
