In Reply to: What I went through to dive Saturday..... posted by ed on March 18, 2002 at 10:42:51:
Never left anything behind, but twice now have sat on the surface dumping air and trying to figure out why I wasn't going under. You do have to remember to put on the gear you bring, even them dumb old wieghts. I took a guy from England out on the Spectre one day. He had ordered all the dive gear, and when we showed up, they only deliveried gloves and a weight belt. Bill (deck hand) to the rescue, he was about the same size as Gary, so Bill lent him all of his gear. Hooked up the reg to the tank, and after it was charged for about 30 sec., the SPG blew. Luckely, Bill had a spare, changed out the bad SPG. Made three great dives that day. Just before he left, Gary said the dive was the best part of his six months in the states. Anacapa was better than Disneyland.
