    Octo to go with my AL Titan LX?

    You can also go with the AL AirSource 2. Some don't like having the integrated, but myself I am using the Titan LX supreme, Pro QD with i3, and the Airsource 2. The set up is pretty nice, but I would recommend getting a longer hose for your regulator if you go that route.

    IDEA....CERTs

    The INTERNATIONAL DIVING EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION ( my 2 cents would be if you are comfortable with them and the instructors are what you like then go with them. Their certs are probably the same as the others.

    Which specialties are worth the money?

    Just to make a correction to your poll, SSI I believe has a solo diver cert also. But as far as your poll, I think it would be the ones you are interested in. If you are interested in caves then that one would be worth the money, wrecks so on. As for the ones that I think are the most important...

    "Hot" First Stage

    I have seen the exact symptoms before. The problem I had was what someone previously said. The air got turned almost off by being in a tight spot or going down/up a rope and the rope turning the knob or me just being new and turning it off then a 1/2 turn on. It was acting very weird, was...

    Dive report -Vortex Springs 10 07 2008

    I am happy some of the pictures turned out decent. I need to work on the picture taking one of these days. As far as how far down we went, I took him down to the Christmas lights, showed him how the Christmas lights turn down and then gave the turn around sign. I didn't trust myself going any...

    How often do you clear your mask?

    From reading ScubaBoard, I have come to the conclusion it depends on if the kicker was wearing a split fins or not. Although in all serious I would think that it depends, sorta like driving wrecks. Normally the person who hits the person in the back in at fault (ie the one getting kicked)...

    How often do you clear your mask?

    Well, if I forget to put on the anti-fog I tend to clear it a lot because I am letting water in to clear the fog. If I remember to put on the anti-fog I clear once.

    Overbreathing the scrubber

    I actually asked this question to a few on a different forum and this was pretty much the replies that I got: "not likely, however, quick changes in depth can affect your PPO2, so you need to watch that."

    Irresponsible diving?

    I am curious, how deep did the DM go? Was he just jumping in to get wet? I mean he could of just been going as deep as you would if freediving.

    Solo diving?

    I know my LDS has trips to look for antiques and Fossil teeth in a very low viz river, from what I was told they require the person be AOW to join the trip and after the trip you get your Solo diver due to the low viz and it trains SSI. Of course for the trip they also require other things such...

    Hello from B'ham, AL

    This weekend I went down to Vortex Springs and did my O/W dives. I had a blast although my first dive had an unexpected happening. I was going through the fake cave and unfortunately somehow my air got partially turned off (Probably from being a newb and hitting the ceiling). I went through...

    Underwater metal detecting

    Well, here is a warning. When ascending to the surface, take off the head phones. It would be bad to go up to the surface and get hit by a boat because you had the headphones on and couldn't hear it coming. Of course if you are close to the beach i doubt there will be boats though but you can...
