$18.89 at amazon.ca. If you ever see anything in the dive shop, you should realize it can be purchased for half the price somewhere else. Another good example: $29 for neoprene socks at a dive shop, but $7 at MEC. - ChillyWaters

Well, perhaps you should have a big dive party for your 100th! Make it a weekend and I'll be there. That's got to be worth a day off work. - ChillyWaters

I might be interested in a dive this weekend.... keep me posted. - ChillyWaters

I'm trying to get the nerve to get out again. I've only been once while being over here in North Van. The last time it was freeeeezing cold (36F or so, and down to 33F). That's just dumb. I'm more worried about the temp than the runoff. If the viz is crap, just get closer to what you want...

Yeah, there are some. But, if you would refer to my original wish for the Scubaboard wiki, it was for managing dive site listings. Group managed dive site listings, with all the trimmings, is a cool opportunity. Wikis are definitely a good technology for that. However, I do think...

That's good to hear. Now I'm just curious how "akin" it is, and how far in the "not too distant future." :) - ChillyWaters

:D Actually, with respect to wikipedia, there was some research done to compare the correctness of it vs real encyclopedias, and you'd be surprised to hear that they are in fact on par with each other. Real encyclopedias aren't perfect either. Also, Wikipedia is hoping to start stabilizing...

I would like to put out a question to Scubaboard and its members on the adoption of a wiki for scuba diving (on Scubaboard). While the forum is great for discussions, it does nothing for holding relatively static content, such as: 1. Dive site listings -- including descriptions of sites...

No weekday diving for me. I just started a job in West Van, and I have to say that I'm still trying to get used to work life. I was a student for waaaay to long. I'm a bit tired during the week still. Hopefully that'll change soon. Enjoy your trip. When is it? Hopefully you can join...

Good stuff... I think I'll have to let it warm up first though. Did my first dive at Whytecliff yesterday and it was sub 40F. We didn't have a clue where to go (I need a map), and tried to go deeper at one spot, but it only got colder (35F). That's just way to cold! I'll need to put on...

Hey Creamy one... would you be up for a "club" dive sometime? I just wrote Les and mentioned the concept. I figure every 2-3 months would be fun. The board doesn't look too active here, but hopefully the diving scene is. - ChillyWaters

Okay, I've moved over to North Van now (from Victoria), and am gettng ready to finally go diving this weekend. I haven't dove cold water since August, so I'm getting rather excited. Now, does anybody dive over hear? Not much activity from Vancouverites on Scubaboard. Perhaps they're too...

We went in the monsoon season, and I'd recommend to anyone to go then. It rains, but only for about 1/2 hour a day, when it POURS. But the rest of the time is great, and there's apparently hardly any tourists. To be honest though, I would definitely recommend everyone to avoid the south...

Did you enjoy the diving? I was just in Thailand & Cambodia for September and October. Not for diving, but we did get a few dives in. I didn't do those two sites, but I did Anemone Reef, KDM, and something else, around Phuket. We also did some diving around Koh Phi Phi and Koh Tao...

Hell, I could almost last 20 minutes in my old wetsuit before shivering in 40C water. :D How does the Bare hi-loft compare to the Whites stuff? I only get a bit cold in 40C water with my Whites MK-2 john and the very light MK-1 shirt -- wearing shorts and a light coolmax shirt underneath...

I'd check out this board for more information, or post this in a better section. I have a Whites Polarflex (half neoprene, half shell), but it came with a whack-load of woolies that I can use in varying combinations. My dive buddy uses a basic Whites shell (nexus), and it comes with a single...

I don't know, but I think it is funny that a group pushed for the the "club" to be formed, then immediately stopped using Scubaboard. - ChillyWaters

Why not just sell them and buy another? Or, put a post in the forsale section looking to trade for your region? Maybe someone will be moving from your region to the U.S. and want to trade trade-in for a region 1. - ChillyWaters

And I would join you, but I'm about heading off to Thailand very soon. 2 months of exploring, and we're hoping to get a few days of diving in there too. - ChillyWaters

Yes, that's EXACTLY the problem. Sure, it may not cause too much more harm, but it DEFINITELY shows a lack of respect. I watched an interview with Dr. David Suzuki the other day. At the end of the interview, after discussing lots of issues, he mentioned how we must change our lack of...
