    IKEA dive pack - poor man's dive caddy. ;)

    here's a better picture of the side view it's 2 horizontal straps and one vertical strap. I actually had a lot more extra room in this, but didn't want to push it on its first day in the field! ;)

    IKEA dive pack - poor man's dive caddy. ;)

    So, the bag is held down by the 3 dive belts. I threaded the belts between the halcyon pocket/back pad and the plate, but not to the plate itself. I removed the wing and tank straps and placed them in the ikea bag. ;) The bag is awesome, waterproof, well stitched on handles, nigh...

    IKEA dive pack - poor man's dive caddy. ;)

    So I was going to get a dive caddy prior to my upcoming trip, but the local dive shop sold out and i didn't have time to wait for one to be shipped, so I made my own! Best part? I used it as my dive bag on my trip. And yes, it fits well within the 22x14x9 airline carry on dimensions...

    Cozumel mid december, need advice/reccomendations

    Unfortunately that won't be an option, we are several states north of texas, and current ambient temps here are in the 30's, let alone water temps. And my girlfriend is really small and thin, and hence gets cold quite easily. She needs a wetsuit for the indoor pool, let alone getting her...

    Cozumel mid december, need advice/reccomendations

    Thanks for all the great suggestions! I looked through the websites of some of those dive ops and I was wondering how to do my girlfriend's referral dives and saw that the aldora group states that the referrals are small sessions before a regular reef dive, (i.e. it is rolled into a typical...

    DCS? Went to the hyperbaric chamber just in case.

    had a crappy weekend, so I thought I'd share. I've been somewhat stressed a bit at work, so I thought i would go diving on Saturday morning and give myself a mini-break/vacation and go diving in one of the more scenic area of Puerto Rico. So I leave early (around 5:00am) and truck down to the...

    Moving to Omaha

    Less than 20"? That's what, less than 2'? sheesh. I knew vis was bad, I just didn't realize it was that bad. Oh well. I am interested in spearfishing and haven't done any bluewater because i've heard some bad stories. To attract fish, they chum up the water down here, and naturally, that...

    Moving to Omaha

    Heh, that's pretty funny ;) Nope, not UNO. Nebraska Med center. Did my college in MN where it's colder. Brrrr. My college team was 2nd to last in football, so I probably can't relate to the football insanity that takes place in NE. We were just happy when our team got points on the board. ;)
