I have provided shots of my rig. You can see that I have attached a weight pocket to the back of my nomad for lead. When I am diving caves in warm water I just remove it. I dive HP 100s so lead really isn't an issue. The only reason I add some–6 pounds is to offset my fears of being lite in deco...

Hey NetDoc, I just wanted to let you know that I used your idea and modified my tanks with your clip set up. I also modified my Nomad bringing the bungies underneath the wing using a ring set-up. I just spent the last five days diving wreck alley in San Diego off the Humbolt-Waterhorse charters...

After I cooled down, I'm back. My response to the issue that set me off is posted in the southwest sandsharks section. I agree with most of what is posted above-the information available on the board is awesome and most of the divers who post here are friendly. PD

Dear Rob, Here’s the problem with your position. First, you responded to second-hand post made by another member of the board that reposted something I wrote somewhere else. You’ve made judgments about my dive procedures without bothering to ask or find out any details about what...

Dear Scubaboard, I'm leaving the board and I want you to know why. When I first discovered scubaboard I was really excited-I saw this as an opportunity to exchange information and be a part of objective discussions with divers that had more experience than I did since I was a new diver...

Yea, sure. If the deco cylinder was arbitrarily dropped I would agree. But that's not the case.

Hello Dive-aholic, I see your posts quite often here on scubaboard and other forums. I know some of your students and they speak highly of you and I have the impression that your are really good at what you do but I don't appreciate the condescending tone of the two posts that appear above...

Hello, I am planning a trip to dive at Caye Caulker, Belize and want to know if anyone on this board has been there and can share some details. Also, while we are not going there for the beaches--we want to be sure that there is a beach with water. This may sound stupid but I saw a post-not...

Awesome! Love it. PD

Take a look at the article published in the examiner.com on winter diving in Lake Pleasant. Here is the link: Winter scuba diving at Lake Pleasant, Arizona - Phoenix Endurance Sports | Examiner.com If you like it, please link back to it. This will help me out. Pete delannoy PS. Watch the site...

The DAM Dive Gary Moyer and I dove to the Dam to day from the point north of Vista Point. The shallow portion of the line was gone due to fisherman, so we turned around on the first dive to get more reels and on the second dive, replaced the line to the dam. The life span of the line in the...

Hey Steve, If you want to dive to the dam take the road by the north marina that cuts around the penninsula north of VP to its end. There are buoys that protect the tip of the penninsula. The line to the dam starts from the buoy that is most west of the point and is about 25-30 feet off...

Today I started running line back from the dam to Vista Point. Starting at the end of the point, and the beginning of the Dam line, I worked backwards into the cove holding the north shore at 22-39 feet until I passed the line of buoys that marks the no-wake-zone. From that point, I made two...

I can't say right now but I think it will make for some interesting dives. With the line and stage bottles there is a lot of exploring to be done as long as the lake is low and we can drive to the point. Now at least you can get there...then who knows? Pete

I reached the dam today off the far point at the end of the service road that cuts by the north marina of Vista Point. From the very tip, there is 1000 feet of line starting at the bouy, bearing 180 degrees to an intersection, and then 240 degrees where it reaches the dam in 30 feet of water...

Gunning for the Dam Today I dove off the point at the end of the dirt road that takes you beyond the north marina at Vista Point. My goal was to reach the dam. I made three dives for a total of 75 minutes of bottom time. I used a map that Chad Conner had sent me last year and sited on a...

I dove today at Vista Point. It has been about 3 weeks since I was last there. The water level is down the lowest that I have ever seen it. I also saw someone affiliated with the Academy of Scuba who told me that "they-whoever manages the water" might be dropping the lake another 25 feet for...

Really great trip reports. Thanks!:D

Lake is down at least twenty feet since my last dive about one month ago. At Vista Point the temps were 84 degrees in the shallows and in the deeps under the thermoclines the temp is up to 54 degrees. Vis was patchy at all depths. I ran a circuit out to the far end of the wall along Bladerunner...

Thanks for the update. I'll be diving out there tomorrow. PD
