    Headed to Gilboa June 28-29 2008

    I'd love to join you, Ber, but my drysuit zipper went south on my last dive and currently it's being replaced somewhere in Ohio :D

    Local diving near Pittsburgh, PA?

    I don't have an apartment yet but I'm guessing about 2.5 hrs to Erie. So yeah I plan on many trips up there for dive charters :)

    Local diving near Pittsburgh, PA?

    I just got a new job near Pittsburgh. I won't start work there for a few weeks but I'm already looking for dive sites. Living in the Michigan Tri-Cities has left me jaded. So much great diving within a few hours drive. Now I'll be a bit more inland. Any recommendation for local quarries or...

    What's your favorite dive related movie??

    Even though there's no diving in it, I love watching Jaws. Speaking of Jaws, Roy Schieder died today at 75yo NPR: 'Jaws' Actor Scheider Dies at 75

    ditchable weight

    I have a DUI W&T Classic (which is almost the same) and agree with this :) But if you attach weight to the plate directly, you'd have to be sure the wing has enough lift.

    I finally got some open water time with my new toy

    If I get the 8 lbs plates then that would overweight the 26 lbs torus wing (rig would be 26.5 negative at that point). I'd have to get a larger wing.

    I finally got some open water time with my new toy

    Great googly moogly it's a night and day difference between this and my old Pro XLT jacket. It's so much easier maintaining buoyancy and trim with the DSS rig. And Tobin, of course, was right and I love the hog setup. I'm still tweaking it as I think I have the straps too tight as I have...

    Sanilac Shores Wrecks - 22nd & 23rd September

    I may go on one of those days. I would prefer to know what wrecks you'll be visiting so I can pick out what nitrox blend I need.

    Atomic Subframe mask experience...

    Hmmm. Why don't they do that to all masks before shipping them off to sale? Darcy? :D

    Water spider spins its own scuba tank

    From the description though it sounds more like an artificial gill. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/08/070828-scuba-spider.html

    Another BP/W Convert

    I just ordered a DSS single tank rig to replace my junk-tacular Seaquest Pro XLT. Hope it works out well :)

    Incident Today at Gilboa

    From my S&R class, you usually give the victim's dive computer to the EMTs/police so they can do exactly that.

    Monroe Dive Center - Quarry (MI)

    Is it a lot better if you take the boat to the submerged island or just slightly?

    Monroe Dive Center - Quarry (MI)

    Me and some of my buddies were at Monroe today. We did a shore dive near the boat ramp. Visibility was *maybe* 5 feet (and that's an optimistic guess). The water was very warm down to around 25 feet (my computer says 79F after 5 minutes in the water). Then the quarry thermocline to end all...

    Incident Today at Gilboa

    It's probably some guy in a costume trying to scare everyone away so Mike will have to sell the place for cheap. Now if we had a group of teenage detectives with a great dane and a VW bus... :D

    The Truth about Michigan State Park/diving Legislation

    Depends. Does the organization collecting the money have a good reputation for spending the money on fixing the problem rather than fill their own pockets?

    The Truth about Michigan State Park/diving Legislation

    You should never be sorry for that. And will there be any money at all?
