I never ask my husband to lift dive gear. Then my gig is up when I pull in with a load from Costco.... active female divers work smarter, not harder. There are some things that require more hand strength than I've got. (Diving concept gloves replacements I'm talking to you) and my non diver...

Not far away Leeds Royal Armory, a day to Scarborough (castle, beach) and a trip to York. Also look at easy jet for cheap flights.. Cheaper than train last time i was there.

I prefer to use my drysuit for bouyancy in single tanks. Its much warmer. Ocean Water right now is 45f. We are making 2 70 mins dives a day if boat diving or 1 90 min if shore diving. For most dives i am diving doubles so i put air in wing and ds, but if i get cool, i vent the wing and add to...

As a referral i would want you to do a pool session again with me. I dont know you or how well the other instructor has trained you. The new instructor has the riskier part of certifying you in the ocean and its important to know you.

Some shops take you in the pool for drysuit orientation, and they can sign the pool session off on the folder. You then get to do your ow dives in a drysuit, but just the 4 ow cert dives, and not be drysuit certified, or they let you try 1 ow dive in a drysuit. You need do do a 5th drysuit...

I have the same suit same era, same problem. I was told by the bare service guy himself that my suit fabric is delaminating, and while they lifetime warranty the seams, Not the (defective) fabric. they are unable to fix the seams on my suit. Many of my coworkers got entire suit replacements. I...

He digs himself quite the hole with his verbal diarrhea. Extreme scuba makeover ladies. Ditch your bp/w amd jet fins and your ugly double tanks and black drysuits this dude can teach us and kit us up so we look sexy in our hello kitty gear, then guys will want to dive with us. Maybe he can make...

I have a month old new dui clx 450... My wrist zips seem slightly smaller than the zip on the zip gloves. With a bit of effort they do fit, even if seems they dont. The second time seemed a bit easier, after some practice im sure. It doesnt take me 45 mins. Maybe 5 mins per glove at most the...

We dive. No fair weather folks taking our parking spots, asking us when we are leaving, or standing- stunned -slack jawed in the way while we are wearing 100+ Pounds of gear trying to enter the water. Surface temps get a bit chilly if there is arctic outflow winds, but for the most part...

Scuba gear is alot harder to hide than regular mall shoe shopping binges. How much have i spent (this year?) Oh ive had that forever, you never noticed before? 23 years in.. I have a dive shop in my garage. I wish i could have gone a bit longer with my "old " drysuit but it is seeping due...

I am a very newbie sm diver..just 3 hours of bt... Comparing my hp100 double.... Its the spinal flexibility that is so nice. Gearing up is no big deal either as a bm technical diver dealing with stages or sm with stages ime. Just do it. Its the underwater experience on your body and bouyancy...

Nice for tourist snorkellers who rent gear and are required to wear a life jacket while snorkelling. My mom would like it.

Drysuit in the pacific ocean. Im going to keep the 100's configured as they are. for now. I have enough gear to have both ready to dive.

i bought a sm system, its in my garage, waiting for me to vis my tanks, reassemble some regs. My number 1 bm double buddy doesnt know and he's going to implode when pics pop up on facebook. I have 2 awesome sm buddies who are going to mentor me. I have grown to appreciate the advantages...

Mid day has busier parking lots. I prefer to park close to the water. For some dives i take tides into account, and id rather dive the earlier high slack because i hate waiting all day to go diving. Im also a morning person. Some people dive later. Do you have a local active diver facebook...

They do pop out easily if you push them out. Push on the suit side, outwards. I Used to struggle with my tiny girl hands until someone showed me. No tools necessary.

It has crossed my mind a few times, as the medical form is handed in to me, that the first skill we do before we even hit the pool deck is "walk 1.6 km/one mile within 12 mins." https://www.padi.com/english/common/courses/forms/pdf/10063-ver2-0.pdf Lets' see if you lied on your form. We are...

I can relate a bit. My husband doesnt dive, but he works a lot. I have a friend who is the same, so we take turns sitting out dives to watch each others' kids. My kids are getting older now, 6 and 8, and on a recent weekend trip i brought them along as non divers on the boat for 3 days. They...

X1 multideco.. Yes.

I talk them thru it. If the chest buckles are not trapped under the shoulder straps i hold those out to hand off for them to clip themselves. If the shoulder strap needs cinching i step to the side and pull down from the sides, not the front. Rarely is there a person who cant do up the straps...
