Hey Chuck, I work alot with Argon (and chemistry in general), and have to tell you that this is a perplexing problem. Argon, is completely inert, so it's not...
... Heavy fog on the way down. Bad accident on the other side of Hwy 101 at the bridge that marks the Santa Clara county line. Be careful driving AND diving...
Hmmm. Actually, I never reported on last Saturdays' dives. Well never mind that. One of our team spotted, and then recovered, a camera floating on the surface...
Cleaned out the garage today, found some stuff that I no longer use. Henderson 7/5MM Gold Core Wetsuit Hood, Large used 2 or 3 times, 40.00 Aeris Velocity Duo...
... The models didn't look great, but in Whaler's we saw a pleasant 0-3 foot swell. Surge was sometimes pretty strong, but seemed to stop to allow us to look...
I found a fin at the southern end of the Middle Reef. Send me an email with the fin's identity and we'll get it back to you. -- Bill Wohler <wohler@...>...
I was quite surprised at how quickly it could move. I suspect there was a sea lion about. Chuck Tribolet http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/triblet/ Silicon...
... It never blew over about 12 knots. Mostly sunny. The coasties were out doing boardings but skipped me. They mumbled something about "four citations" on...
Hi! I have a 4-year-old Zeagle Concept II Pro BC for sale, $200. It's size XL, for *big* people. The Concept II Pro is a single-tank, heavy-duty, adjustable...
Ken was kind enough to drive my poor carcass and we met Mike at 5pm and slowly geared up for a crepuscular dive. Mike was trying a black plate wing ...
WOW COOL! It was back in June I lost that fin. Contacted Bill and it is definitely mine! The surge at the ramp was much heavier than typical and the vis was...
So, now I have three camera related items that have o-rings. a red one for the housing (olympus) a yellow one for the strobe (inon) a blue one for the focus...
Be *very* careful with this. Many common o-ring greases disolve many common types of o-rings. Is it really a problem just to use different tubes of grease?...
No - it is not really a problem. Just trying to see if there was another (more compact) solution. Doesn't look like it. thanks for the responses, Jason...
LOL--monkeyface does look mad! ??Mike Boom in a back plate?? Crepuscular dive?? If you think California wine is treacherous, just wait till you try the ...
Jason, If you really wanted to find out check here. http://www.efunda.com/designstandards/oring/oring_chemical.cfm?SC=none&SM=Si licone#chem Basically I use...
... No one was more surprised than me. Ken Gwin backed me into one, and unleashed a 40 cf stage bottle on me as well. Once I get over my astonishment I'll...

Very long time ?? Maybe they should roll the tanks.... ;-) Although it doesn't sound easy to roll a set of doubles..... (I know, I know...) JP ... From:...
Very interesting. I would have thought it would take some time for mixing through the isolator but nothing like that. I wonder how much of a pb is it even with...
Thanks Clinton and Kawika, I ll label it as a probable Bull sculpin. Mike got some video of the thing, it may be easier to id than with my pics, though it may...
Anyone want to dive Santa Cruz Tuesday? Experienced low vis diver a must, or at the very least, an open minded one. I will be hunting. Last week was flat, and...
... Wow, nice catch. I'd like to have a piece of it--literally...8-) Since you hunt maybe you can answer this. When I was kayaking Saturday I saw about three...
I added 2 of the wanabe Bull sculpin pics that may or may not help. With book in hand, I christened the other sculpin as a Spotfin though I assume a large...
I agree he's missing something to be a good spotfin. From the shape of the mouth and nose I d say not a scalyhead, neither a subnose, that was already my...
