I was 31 when I took my first dive. I fell so in love with it that I went on to conquer many fears and become a divemaster. I wish I would have started sooner but hey I jumped in over my head and have never looked back!

Interesting ideas but no. This was my first trial run and it turned out better then expected. I may give those a try though

I still buy decor every once in a while Decor is a cheap reg set and it has a useful purpose. I bought some old tanks that were not serviceable for a cheap price, Some decor regulators for a cheap price and still buy old unusable BCDs on the occasion and use them too. Just because they have a...

Absolutely. I am getting up in my years now though I am still relatively young. I am at the age now where I am seeing things in real time verses my own views. What I mean is I am a dive master. I don't claim to be neither the worst nor the best. I don't claim I know more then an open water...

When I first started diving I could not swim and was terrified at being deeper then my feet could touch. I took my ex-girlfriend to Hawaii with me and we stayed at a very nice resort. As we were walking around there was a pool that was fairly deep and a guy standing beside it hustling people to...

No problem. Let me know if i can help more

(I just posted this in another forum lol so I am copying and pasting my own response) In order to be fair I dont side up with any one shop so Ill name a few. Genes is an older shop that just came under new management within the past few years and has really become a neat little place to stop...

Tenkiller is an amazing dive in my opinion. There are 2 dive shops located right on the lake and a few more within a few hours drive in several directions. In order to be fair I dont side up with any one shop so Ill name a few. Genes is an older shop that just came under new management within...

I just got back from Tenkiller yesterday. It was like putting your hand in an icechest with the half water half ice feeling. The water was reading 52 degrees and a visibility was coming in around 5 to 10 foot with it being patchy at best. But I am not deterred lol. I am planning on maybe june...

I just make a list of all the things I need and maybe once a year make a drive to Scubatoys. About 5 hours away (Or I plan it where when I am road tripping I stop by) and get the product at the same price as they sell it online which is far cheaper sometimes then many of the LDS I go to. Not...

My question is I dont like the 7 mm wet suits. How would the lavacore work under a 5 mil or is it worth it?

LOL TMHeimer I have been working like you would not believe. But things are finally slowing down and I did a dive in Cozumel in January and now I am hooked again. About the drowning. I have never been a strong swimmer but I make do. I swam so much and pushed so hard all I could do was literally...

Cool Tulsa Time. Maybe we can meet up for some diving then. I am looking to video the area a little more in the park and camp out too. I am not a fan of the cold either though LOL

So my question is to my fellow okies when are we going to get back in to Tenkiller again? I am ready willing and able!

Welcome to the board and happy diving!

A little late to the game but welcome to the board fellow Oklahoman! From Tulsa area here!

It all depends on your long term goals. There are many reasons people chose to be a dive master but mine was one I was pushed to the very limits to achieve. I nearly drowned myself pushing so hard to get the required scores and to do so I had to learn to swim better then I already did. In the...

wow sounds like scuba.com has changed somewhat since I dealt with them a few years ago.

One thing I will say is when I first did a dive I was scared silly. I could not swim but I figured I had equipment and the discovery dive you did not have to know how to swim to take. I fell in love and decided to get certified and well I found a center nearby and paid my fees only to discover...

The issue I have with tipping is so many people are pushy about it. I do tip when I dive as I know we divemasters don't make much anyway but I really hate the try and make people feel guilty approach. The general guideline for tipping in any industry is 10 percent if service was great, 15 if...
