Cool! What time do you guys plan to be there? Urso-meister -- please show up!. You will be absolutely shocked at how warm you can stay w/ that Cressi suit. ...
I have three extra masks, three pair of scuba fins with boots, snorkels, etc. I know Jeff has tons of gear as well. I am thinking 10 am or so on Sunday. ... ...
I've got the worlds best dive line ready and waiting... I'll bring it just in case we get itchy to do the pit..... The viz in the pit should be pretty bad nice...
I'm not expecting a ton of responses, but thought I'd toss the idea out there. I will probably be getting there about 7:30 with the goal of refining my...
Hi, I seem to have been bumped to the "bouncing list" for no reason that I know of. I hope I am now de-bounced and visible again. I haven't seen any messages ...
Hey guys: Dave Abel called me today (Sat.), and claimed he will be at Dutch Springs Sunday. From what I remember, Dave is a good diver, and should add to the...
I wrote to John Achille and Greg Hysock to see if they are coming because their options are set such that they do not get e-mails. John said he will be out of...
Mike: Chances are, I'll make it to Dutch tomorrow. Sorry some of the new guys won't make it out tomorrow, they probably have more sense though! :-) Thanks for...
Hi guys I have not dug out my cold weather dive gear yet. Whats dutch like lately I have not dove there in a couple years . When I was a divemaster with...
Hi guys: I just wanted to let everyone know I'm heading up to Dutch in about 30 minutes. Hoping to be there around 10:00, but there's season pass photo's to...
Hi Greg, Visibility is usually in the 30'+ range. The life-guards never seem to hassle us, no matter what bizarre stuff we do (like taking our fins and weight...
It was a little colder than expected, which made diving a little bit of a chore. Doug showed up before we hit the water, so we jumped in to do some tentative...
Oh mike that really sucks about your keys. My fingers are still feeling it. I imagine Dutch is going to stay cold a little longer than last yr so I am looking...
Hi all: Sunday was a great opening day, considering a few minor annoyances. Considering last year, 3 weeks into the season, the water temp was in the low 50's,...
I was definitely frustrated by the cold. After my face numbed, I felt great. Soon after that the fingers started to hurt and the it was all over. How was the...
Jim: You asked how the vis was on the jungle gym. It was greater than I had ever seen it. Everywhere in the cove. Especially over the sets of stairs at the far...
BTW, I forgot to mention that I added Dave Abel to the group. He drove all the way down from Long Island to join us and nearly froze to death since the 43...
I felt a little dissapointed at the depth of the car at Dutch Springs, after all the hype about the water being deeper this year. Although I only logged 94',...
Jim(s), Would you be willing to put Sunday's logs in the "Files" section? I would be interested in checking out the profiles using the Suunto Dive Manager...
I went to NE scuba supply last night and picked up a pair of mitts for 9.95! I also bought a pair of thin reef gloves for 20 bucks. Things will be much better...
Mike: I put the D3 file that you asked for, in the file section. Nothing too impressive, but as the water warms, I've seen the bottom times double in the...
Very cool. I looked at the profiles and you tell a lot about the dive. Looks like you found an 82' hole over by the pumphouse. I was also surprised that the...
Mike: I notice it takes a little longer to ascend now that I use 8 pounds of weight. But my descent may be a few seconds shorter since I don't use my hands to...
A hot topic after the cold weekend. I did a little research and found that there are at least 2 common kinds of heat packs. The not-so-useful-for-freediving...
Mike: Thanks for doing the footwork. These handwarmers look like they have lots of potential for us this time of year. We ought to buy a case of them and split...
Jim, Here's a link to a Canadian shop where you can buy them for about $6 per hand, shipping included. They also sell larger pads that you can use to heat...
