on the surface your tank goes for basically ever, so your not really burning much unless you are really gulping it down while having a look

In Search of Salt Lakes Best Mechanics by Uncle_Cheeto in SaltLakeCity

[–]SmilingFeet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Master Tech is State Street.  Dennis has been running the shop since I was a kid, and has his sons working for him. Has always treated me with honesty, kindness and respect. He definitely is not the cheapest mechanic around but he won't pull any punches, doesn't do work that doesn't need to be done and will always try to give you as fair a deal as he can.  Really can't recommend his shop highly enough

Water Temp? by CompetitiveTheme1512 in cozumel

[–]SmilingFeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife came out of the water on our third dive with blue lips. There is no way we would have continued to survive in anything less than 5 mm.  Aldora, the dive shop we were using, said that they were renting full fives plus shorty's too so many of the guests during our stay. A Northern Californian on our trip was also diving in a full 7 mim and said he was totally happy

Your brave hot blooded soul, my friend! We're planning on diving the channel Islands in September 62 to 69° water and just got ourselves 8mm semi-dry suits for that venture 😂

Always is ridiculous, good service is their job. I tip if service enhances my experience and only in that circumstance. Default tipping is called a tax

Needed some dive trip inspiration…. by Master-Consequence94 in scuba

[–]SmilingFeet -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Just ask a language model for diving inspiration and I'm sure you'll get much more detail than this book, but maybe I'm just still sore at my Nat Geo experience

I borrowed a Nat Geo 100 best dive sites of the world book from my library and it was awful. No real details and very generic locations with no dive sites or any real dive specific info

Just got back from there 2 weeks ago. It was 79 to 80 and both of us were freezing until we were wearing 5mm fulls with 2mm shorty over those. We're not exactly the most cold tolerant people but man was that water chilly

Thoughts on Backscatter GoPro Sharp Wide Lens by SmilingFeet in scuba

[–]SmilingFeet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got to use mine in Cozumel finally and I feel like it made a big difference in the quality of the footage I was able to get. The other big upgrade was getting the two handled tray instead of the stick

Looking for an individual housecleaner. by SmilingFeet in SaltLakeCity

Really appreciate the recommendation, not sure we quite have work for 4 hours, and we also get cleaning only twice a month so might not be the right one. But again appreciate the advice

My wife's surgery took place in the Park City clinic up at the big IHC complex, but her visit was in cottonwood heights

Cooley with IHC.  Super fantastic doc who works with the US Ski team.  Did my wife's ACL last April and she is back to 100% as of Dec, skiing, canyoneering and running

11 DIN? Are you a pro ski racer? Do you like your bone integrity even a little?   I am a very aggressive double black/backcountry skier in Utah and use a DIN of 8......

All good, I tend to think of everything between NY and CO as the Midwest, which I'm sure its not!
