Scuba Forum / General / November 2003Where are all my gunrack in the back of the pickup friends now...
that it's time to move? Popeye? Scott? Crownfield? We close on the new house tomorrow and will be moving on Thursday. Anybody willing to help out? I'll grill up some tofu burgers.

He and his girlfriend are newly certified. We are going to take them out diving but I'm having such a hard time deciding where. Any dive I'd be interested in is way beyond them. I really have no desire to dive the "Sea Tiger" again. suds Awe, don't tell me you don't want to see the Japanese tourist on the Atlantis sub going by. I'll be there Saturday morning.

You can easily blow a tank on each of those wrecks but no self-respecting operator who has insurance will let you. The Atlantis passing by is a rather neat little add-on, don't you think? I don't mind the Sea Tiger so much, it's the Kewalo Basin Pipe dive they always do as a follow up that I can no longer tolerate. Are you local? Who do you usually dive with? suds > > Awe, don't tell me you don't want to see the Japanese tourist on the > > Atlantis sub going by. I'll be there Saturday morning.

What do they do about it? A stiff fine . . . a threat that you'll never dive their boat again . . . um, er, or any boat again? (snip) "chilly" <slarson@shaw.canada> pounded away at his keyboard resulting in: :What do they do about it? Take their boat to another spot and say, enjoy your dive.

The seas were pretty choppy, but the dive was great. I got some really nice sea turtle, eel and hermit crab pictures. I wanted to do the YO, but it was too rough. Hope you enjoyed the night dive. > > > Awe, don't tell me you don't want to see the Japanese tourist on the > > > Atlantis sub going by. I'll be there Saturday morning.

Glad I wasn't out there. We did both a dusk and night dive on the Yo-257/San Pedro. It turned out to be a classic example of what difference an hour can make. The dusk dive was nice with moderate current at the surface and ~80' vis below. After an hour surface interval, I did the giant stride only to surface and watch the boat pass me by. I'm a strong swimmer but it took 700psi for me to reach the deck. I briefly considered scrubbing the dive but I was buddied with Dr. Matt, owner of Island Divers Hawaii, so I decided this would be a "push the envelope" training dive. I didn't see much because the vis had gone to hell but I got to practice my skills in a night dive in heavy current and poor vis. It was a short dive because other divers needed rescuing after being swept off the descent line while attempting to surface. suds > that it's time to move? > > Popeye? Scott?

C|;^{) Couple things; 1) I don't keep weapons in a gunrack, too easy for creeps to steal them. 2) I'd rather take a beating than move again, or help anyone move. 3) If you wanna buy the tickets to Hawaii, I am sure something could be worked out. 4) What's wrong with your limp-wristed liberal buddies? Oh... > > that it's time to move? > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > worked out. > 4) What's wrong with your limp-wristed liberal buddies? 5) People with gun racks in their rear window, don't eat tofu burgers.

Besides the fact that they are more difficult to access from there... I always preferred to have it on the passenger side between the console and the seat with a gray towel (same color and the interior of the vehicle) over it... At least back in the days before we had the ability to get a CHL here and had to carry as 12-gauge as a personal defense weapon... > 4) What's wrong with your limp-wristed liberal buddies? They don't drive pickup trucks. C|;^{) suds > They don't drive pickup trucks. C|;^{) I woke up this morning with that sentence in mind, and raced here to post it.

LOL suds > Speaking of "limp-wristed" have you read "Jarhead" yet? What's this "field > f.ck" thing all about. LOL I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Things have changed a lot in 22 years. The only thing I have time to read are trade publications, this NG once in a while, and technical/legal documents. Try this: http://www.usmc.mil/ |
