    Ever lost your computer the MIDDLE of a dive?

    Yep, that settles it. Backup computer it is. I've been highly suspicious of air integrated (simply because I work with wireless network equipment all the time and know how often it just "quits" or something interfers with the signal and connectivity is lost). Now I'm completely convinced that...

    Ever lost your computer the MIDDLE of a dive?

    Yeowza... I had a sobering experience yesterday... I was working on some mooring chains for a friend here in the great frozen north yesterday. I was on my second dive, 45' of 58 degree water (below 2 thermoclines) detangling a chain from one of two mushroom anchors. I flip over to my...

    Grand Cayman - running trip report

    Love the pictures, thank you SO much for sharing your daily dive reports. After looking through the pictures, I've decided my 2009 Cayman goal is to see an Octopus; you guys seem to have pretty good luck. Any tips on regions/what to look for? Is the time of day/night important?

    Grand Cayman - running trip report

    We don't get back to Morritts until the end of September this year; we've got a bonus week though, and you've got me ITCHING to book a flight right now. Have you dove Sunset yet? Found the mermaid? There are some AWSOME photo ops there. (You where "there" when you found Cathy's place)...

    If you're quoting Nietzsche, then I'm done "just say'n", I'm definately out classed... ;) Water temps here are in the 60's; if I could just shake this dang'd cold, I'd go diving to celebrate!

    Methinks we called the puppetmaster behind divealotdiver off...or perhaps the puppet simply lost a an argument with a tablesaw and lost his tongue... :rofl3: On the serious side... I sure would like to see those whiteboards outside the entry points to the platforms...

    I've been doing a lot actually...just not much in the "Warm waters" of Texas... I've done quite a bit of mooring work up here in the frozen north... not just a couple of weeks ago, I was refitting a 25' section of 5/8" (175 lbs worth) to a mooring ball in 52 degree water; and then when I got to...

    East End dive ops

    Let me whip out my trusty, but not dusty log book... 2 Years ago we picked up a dive guide at the airport on our way home that had some awsome sites listed in it..that guide got "wet" last summer (after my dive buddy put it at the bottom of the "wet bag"...) so I replaced it with a better one...

    Here's the thing, and since you're new to the board, and new to this group, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and help you out. We have to assume some basic truth's from the original post. I can't imagine anyone launching into a story that is COMPLETE fiction to a group of people that...

    East End dive ops

    I'm a little late to the thread, and glad to hear you had a great time. I also stay at Morritts every Sept/Oct. I have been diving with both OF and Tortuga, and have to report that I prefer diving with OF. The Tortuga folks are nice enough, but they are appear (as has been reported previously)...

    At the bequest of my dive buddy to "catch up on the do'ns at CSSP", I read this entire thread, and I'm sorry to say, that's 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back. <soapbox=off> This thread has gotten SO FAR off track from where it started. The last thing this thread needs is 2 more...
