Steel Box Trailer completely sanded down inside and out 18 months ago and repainted with rust resistant primer (2 coats) and enamel (2 coats). Roof is sealed. No leaks. This trailer has been outfitted for diving. It can easily carry 8 sets of double tanks and 5-8 Aluminum tanks. 4-drawer...

With the visibility being so good and the weather looking like it's going to cooperate I'm going out with Lake Travis Scuba the Saturday morning. It looks like we'll be able to dive both Starnes Island and the Oasis Wall which should be awesome with the good vis. Anyone want to join us? The...

Just got back from a couple of dives at the lake today. Great news! The lake level is back up and viz is not tooooo bad. :D I backed my truck down the boat ramp where Robert (Lake Travis Scuba) was able to pull the boat right up to the back of the truck. We just handed tanks and gear off to...

OK, who's up for FEAST on Friday, February 5th at 7:00 pm? If you're interested throw out a couple of locations and we'll pin it down in the next week or so. Something central preferably. Come on, Austin Swampers! Let's get together for a Friday Happy Hour!! :D

Not sure where NadMat is off to these days, but it sure has been a long time since the Austin group has put together a FEAST. Anyone interested in getting together next Friday for a couple of beers or margaritas? Location TBD by the attendees! :D

Well, the wedding planning is starting to ramp up. I'm doing the smart thing and generally staying out of the way, but I have been tasked with the honeymoon. I know y'all will be surprised to learn I want to go somewhere we can dive. I'm also going to be in the market for some serious R&R. So...

OK. This is the official trip dates. Hope all of ya'll that were interested before can still make it. We may have to drive into Little Rock for fills, but hey, bring plenty of tanks and you'll do less filling, right? I'm leaving Friday afternoon from Austin. Last I checked Shawn and...

Several Swampers are interested in making a trip to Lake Ouachita during the weekend of Sept 26/27. These will be the dive dates for TSD group dives. If you want to come early or stay late that's cool. I will look into renting a pontoon boat for Saturday and Sunday. Any other days you are on...

I'm thinking about diving this lake in the near future and would appreciate any advice y'all can provide. I'm looking at diving it from a boat so I hope someone can provide the name of a good charter service as well. Thanks!!!!!

Has anyone ever dove the Oriskany before? I'm going this summer with Paul's group. I'm looking forward to the dive, but don't know a soul who's dove it. Some of us are planning a technical dive...others will be doing a couple of recreational dives. Any info ya'll have would be great! Also, I...

I'm open all weekend. Anyone want to dive. I'm open to anyplace anytime. Let's go diving!! :D

My girlfriend and I are heading to Belize this coming December. I'd like to do some cave diving there if I can. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking for a little information on Lake Amistad. We are looking for different sections of the lake to teach technical classes. We need info on the following: 1. Where are the deepest parts of the lake. It's supposed to reach 220' at full pool, but where?? 2. Where are your preferred...

OK, maybe calling it a "bulk order" is stretching it a little. I'm trying to negotiate a good price on tanks with one of our LDS's here in Austin. The man in charge of the purse strings there tells me that the more people I can get in on the order the more we can save on our tanks. The tanks...

There is a good possibility that we might be able to get Jeff Loflin over to Austin to do a sidemount class sometime this spring. Jeff is an awesome instructor. I took DSAT Trimix from him a couple of weeks ago at 40 Fathom Grotto near Ocala, FL. The guy regularly dives sidemount himself and is...

Just a reminder that this is the last order that I'm doing for the version 2 DIMWIT t-shirts. The cutoff date is this Sunday. I won't be taking more orders for this one after that. For more information see this thread...

I still have a couple of t-shirts left if anyone is interested: 1 - Small Black (version 1) 1 - Pink XXL (ladies) If neither of those turn your crank then I'm going to go ahead and do a second run of t-shirts because of all of the requests I've received since the 1st order went to print. If...

Anyone want to do a dive out at Lake Travis this Friday evening? I was thinking the Jungle Gym with all the skeletons :wow: hanging off the trees and trestle would be appropriate for the day.:fruit: Let me know if you're game.

I'm looking for information on making my own custom length inflator hoses. Any help would be appreciated...where to find tools, parts, etc as well as technique. Thanks!
