There's a meeting tonight 11/17/2009 at the West Side Pub and Grill in West Bend at 7:30. We're talking about the Lake Michigan Dives the last two weekends, an upcoming dive in Sheboygan on the Chamberlain and Hettie Taylor next weekend, and also have some interesting auction items. Hope to...

Sorry, this is absolutely not true, in the U.S. anyway. There's no such thing as federal airspace, and you don't own any airspace over your private property. Gotta have a license to fly a plane.

Hot water before the dive, not just after. It'll make a big difference.

I just thought I'd chime in here to tell you that keeping wild birds is illegal in most states, even if they appear to be orphaned. You might want to be careful who you turn it over to.

Negative visibility? Is that like visibility that is so bad you can see BACK into your head or something?

I haven't been there this year, but I was there last year around this time. The viz was, well, pretty bad. 4 or 5 feet, max.

Hi all! Few questions I was hoping to get some help with. I'm planning a trip to Isle Royale on 8/20 - 24. I was there 15 or so years ago and I'm (finally) getting back. It sounds like the dives aren't very guided. Can anyone point me towards some resources/maps/diagrams of the wrecks...

Thanks for the help. Jim, I will see you on Tuesday and give a report. I'm really looking forward to the Niagara dive next month!

I'm going to Devil's Lake, near Baraboo, WI, for some camping this weekend and thought I might take the dive gear along. Has anyone been there? Is it worth it? Good places in the lake to dive? Thanks!

I've seen loons fishing underwater before. Very cool.

"In violent waves of crimson blood, the penguin is devoured." Melodrama, anybody?

#1 most insightful thing I've ever read on Scubaboard.

Well...possibly. Each time I've had it I didn't like it, but the same person made it each time. Very greasy.

This is neither DIR nor simplistic. The secret to cooking a turkey is this: the less you do to the bird, the better. Brine it overnight in water and sea salt. Take it out of the brine, pat it dry. Preheat the oven to 500, put the bird in there for 5 minutes, turn the oven down to 350 and...

I've got one too, and had the same problem. The battery is replaceable, but they won't service them anymore. Shame, as even though it's primitive compared to what's out there now, it's a very useful, friendly device. Someone put a lot of thought into that interface.

Where are you at then?

Argue, mostly:)

Very interesting, I have worn contacts for 20 years, and my eyes have become extremely light sensitive. What causes this? Is it the contacts themselves or a change in the eye? If I stop wearing contacts will it get better? Thanks!

This entire thread is a moot point. The FAA has a regulation that you have to wait 24 hours before you can fly (on any commercial flight any of us would be on, anyway.) If you break this rule (and they will find out if you do) you are subject to detention, probably at camp X-Ray, and you and...

I'm amazed you were ripped off in front of the store, that's a pretty busy road. Do you have renter's insurance? That should cover your gear. If you don't have it, get it, it's cheap. Hope you can get your stuff back.
