Someone mentioned turning off the tank - unless you have an overhead, it probably isn't worth the task loading. Especially at the surface - letting the tank empty will make it more buoyant, reducing concerns of dropping weights and possibly (by that point) orally inflating the BC. Of course you...

Hey everyone. I'm an old-timerish Scubaboard member (Spring 2002) who's moved from Texas to Monterey, California. I'm still working on getting my vehicle and gear out here, but I thought I'd log in and say hi :) I'm an AOW diver who hasn't blown bubbles in a few years now, so I'm probably...

This actually came to me by way of a mailing list for Texas cavers... http://www.sanmarcosrecord.com/articles/2005/07/02/news/news1.txt I'm not really up on the specifics of Aquarena Springs geography (never got around to taking the scientific diver course), but they apparently uncapped a...

Some time ago, the tank rental situation at TL was such that it was advisable to bring your own (availibity was iffy). Is this still the case, or do they keep a pretty large number on hand, nowadays? Oh, a few months back I did my first solo for my private pilots license ;) jeff

Lake Travis is closer, but I still love Possum Kingdom (because I'm a Toadies fan at heart, perhaps). The spot I normally enter is at the Scuba Point Dive Shop (http://www.scubapointpk.com/info.htm ). Possum Kingdom Lake is cold under the thermoclines... in late March of '02 TexasMike and...

Lake Bryan, in Bryan, TX, is a hotbed of recreational watersport activity. So, when asked by friends if I'd take part in an afternoon of S&R diving to try to find the rudder of a sailboat that took a flip, I agreed (if only to finally explore a nearby body of water and get wet). For those...

A cave diver in Mexico named Mariano Silva, trying to connect two sumps (from what I understand), is currently the target of rescue/recovery attempts. Laura Derrick has a something of a summary on her blog at...

Ugh, so much misunderstanding. To (possibly) clear this bit up, I'm going to post a longish email message that might just hopefully convince you that this group was not involved in anything shady.

Oh, oh! I did this research when I first got cert'd, let's see what I remember: http://texasdiver.com/tdiver.pl?sites.index This was, from what I recall, one of the more comprehensive lists. It's missing more current sites (Twin Lakes, for instance), but otherwise isn't horrible. jeff

The issue (which was extensively discussed on cavetex, a Texas caver listserv) is that, traditionally, cavers have been permitted to go caving in Mexico with a normal tourist visa, which is what the Brits had. They were also mapping as they explored, which is a normal (and responsible!) dry...

Why do they need a cluster? They aren't under any significant load, yet. http://www.scubaboard.com/t49285.html (they're using mysql) Seconded, of course (about the site running nice. I know that mysql already uses a hash implementation). jeff

Heh, I had a bunch of questions, but http://www.servermatrix.com/servers.html seemed to answer them (I just looked at what they offered). Remaining questions: 1) Which version of mysql is installed, using what sorts of tables? 2) What filesystem do they install on the server? Comments...

:) It'll be my first time to dive out of Texas... been a while coming ;)

...T minus 7 hours until I fly to Hawaii :) Hopefully Texas will start warming up soon, I still haven't managed to save for a drysuit :shiver: Hope y'all have a good season! jeff

Hmm, looks like a lot of the old emote macros are missing :( (or they're just not working in signatures)

Wow, congrats on the upgrade. I'm not nearly active enough to be a webmaster for the club (which is why I wanted to give someone access to the ScubaPages.net site :) ), but if whoever gets decided will PM me, I'll be happy to send along what files I have, in the hopes that they will be useful...

Anything you can suggest I bring, Dee? :) Preferably something purchasable, as I'm incurably lazy ;) jeff

Tony has graciously PM'd me to tell me to get my butt down there, and that he'll have tanks (not to discourage you to bring more! we can show our Swamper spirit by building a habitat out of empty tanks duct-taped together...) I'm headed to Carlsbad (caving - new hobby), Colorado (hiking)...

Replying to myself: brock@o-vations.com is willing to sell Subconn connectors to low volume buyers (that is, those of us only needing a few for canister lights). His pricing is not cheap, in fact he quoted me: This is for (what appears to be) a canister light suitable set of connectors...

Be sure to tell Mike hi from all of us :) I hope everything's going well with him. jeff
