Olympic coverage NBC sucks...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lulubelle]

Any of you folks not on the East Coast want to know how the Men's swimming Medley turned out? NBC won't be showing it to the west for three more hours.

No we can see the results on the internet if we want to. In fact I already have.

I do think it isn't right for NBC to not broadcast key events live across the country.

Hi rktman, I watched it in HD, it was great. I was trying not to spill the beans to those in the West who might want to watch it and not know before they did.

[rktman26]

I misread your question!!! I thought you wanted to know how it turned out. I have edited my above post to avoid spoiling it for anyone.

By the way, I dove with the Brigade again last night. That thing is AWESOME.

I'm taking the Nitrox class Tuesday.

Speaking of new equipment, if I get some equipment and just need to check it out in the salt water, do you think I could talk your friend at Discovery into going to Radio Island w me to check it out? Otherwise I may be going to T and C with equipment I haven't used. Don't want to go on a group dive there...just get the equipment wet and see how it feels.

When will you be going?

You have to dive Radio Island at High tide, otherwise you're doing a very fast drift dive with horrible visibility!!!

Haven't gotten my stuff yet, so I'm not sure. I may try to take it in over the Labor Day week since I'll be there. Thanks for the warning about the tides.

There will probably be a lot of people there, if you dive at high slack tide.

Basically, you want to start your dive just before the tide stops coming in. Drop in over the rocks, and head to the bottom (about 35'). Let the current take you towards Beaufort.

By the time you hit your turn pressure, the tide should be heading back out, and you can ride the current back to your entry point.

We can usually get about an hour of dive time at Radio Island. Just don't expect the visibility to be good. A really good day at Radio Island is 10 feet.
