Though there's information here and there about the permit process for Blue Hole, there didn't appear to be a one-stop shopping note, so here ya go. I found the permit application here: http://www.santarosanm.org/permit_application.doc So a couple questions... I'll be arriving this...

Well, I'm not going to be there, but a ton of my equipment is... My cave buddy, Tom Karnuta, will be teaching a deco procedures class in Santa Rosa (actually just the checkout dives). At least the Saturday morning dive will be at the 'hole to get all their weighting and trim straightened out...

Coming into Tampa/Bradenton for a whilrwind trip next weekend and was looking at picking up a couple AL80 cylinders while I was there (here in Colorado you can expect to pay $200+ for an AL80 cylinder) and flying back with them. Diver's Supply has 'em for $150 including valve, any better...

Is the O ring for the Data Plus (P/N 2.023) a "standard" size? If so, what's the size and durometer? Roak

Oceanic, I’m picking on you because you appear to be extremely responsive to questions, and for that I thank you! When you offer a regulator maintenance clinic at DEMA for example, is the goal of that training to “train trainers” so the people who take the class can go back to their LDS and...

Clicked on a thread and got the following. Hit the back button, clicked on the thread again and it worked. So, FYI... Fatal error: Could not obtain file lock in /includes/class_datastore.php on line 523

So I get this birthday mail from Scubaboard, and it contains a link that doesn't work:

Looks like there's going to be another fundamentals class held in Santa Rosa, NM if anyone's interested: I'm not in any way associated with Flatirons, etc., etc. etc.

Up until now I’ve been able to transport the occasional T bottle in the back seat of my super cab in order to keep it from rocketing around in the back of my pickup. Times they are a change’n and this weekend I need to bring two Ts up to Denver and bring three back down. So this was my...

I've sent two emails over the last week about buying some of his cold water spools, and haven't heard anything back (he lists that the price is + shipping, I need to know what the shipping is to PayPal the amount). I've got twine, I've got double ended bolt snaps, but I need spools and I'm...

As far as I can figure out from the web and the 1962 diver's manual loaned to me by my local dive shop, they were J-valve-like, but instead of any moving parts, they simply had a restriction that choked off the air at a low pressure so breathing became hard. But then things seem to diverge...

I've got two tickets for all three days that I can't use, free to the first person who sends mail to roakey@underctek.com and includes their mailing address (so I don't have to go back and forth via email to get all the information :)) Roak

DAN Divers Day, “Safer Diving Through Education” October 12th, 2002 in Colorado Springs. http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/news/article.asp?newsid=214 Don’t ask me why DAN held their first diver’s day in the SCUBA capitol of the world NOT, Colorado Springs. Probably to work out the...

Anyone else going? http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/news/article.asp?newsid=214 I figure the price of admission is worth it just to see Bill Hamilton in person! :) Roak

DIRF finally makes it to the Wild West! There will be a DIRF class held in Santa Rosa, New Mexico November 15th, 16th and 17th. Cost of the class is $300 with any overages refunded to the student (on-the-road class cost is $275, I’m adding $25 to assure we cover instructor expenses)...

This appeared on DIR/Quest list back in May, and I just realized that I hadn't seen it posted here. Looks like the marketing/sales types usurped the engineers and as typically happens in such cases, the inevitable charlie foxtrot occurred. ============================= SPIEGEL GROVE...

OK, I’m now officially in the exploration phase of bringing a DIRF class to the Colorado/New Mexico/Northwest Texas area. I have absolutely no details, I’m only in the process of contacting instructors, finding out what’s required, etc. Pie-in-the-sky thinking puts it in the September/early...
