    Fear of Jaws

    LOL......I did have a fear of encountering sharks in the water for some time after becoming certified but the overwhelming beauty below soon won me over. I am atually more afraid of encountering a shark while swimming and not diving. I am more afraid of what I can't see with the aid of my...

    Best off shore shallow diving in Florida

    As far as beach entry shallow diving in Florida you may also consider an area further north than Key Largo and Ft Lauderdale. In Riviera Beach (Palm Beach County) there is a phenominal dive spot at the Blue Heron Bridge. Get a hotel room on Singer Island and the brisge is a hop-skip-and jump...

    Blade or Split Fins

    I still can't decide which I prefer. Got caught in some rippin' current several days ago and felt like my Atomic split fins weren't quite giving me the push I needed; however, with my more leisurely dives they are so much easier on my knees. I'm sooo confused....Can I get a dive bag big...

    The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

    Several of us dove the bridge yesterday and as is always the case.....It is amazing! We saw a Swollen Claw Mantis for the first time over by the moored boats.....We never went deeper than 14 feet by the boats and saw one of the biggest Sting Rays I have ever seen actively hunting and unphased...

    Calculating SAC Rate and RMV

    Now a new question on an old discussion for you very experienced divers.....I love using steel tanks and rent them whenever possible as I like the lack of fluctuation in bouyancy during the dive. I can make it easily through the dive with an 80cf but recently used a 100cf thinking I would have...

    Tight feeling around the lungs and neck

    How funny!! I got some strange looks when I cut the neck on my rash guard......I still believe I must have been choked in a previous life......I wear almost exclusively farmer jane wetsuits and then if needed I add something on top that is open in front. I have a full wetsuit and dread the...

    Why are so many female divers codependent?

    I enjoyed reading your post.....Having learned to dive because of my husband many years ago, reliant on him entirely. Raising family caused some time off from diving but now, years later I have the dive bug and my husband does not! So I, by myself, re-certed and went on for my nitrox and hop a...

    Easiest breathing regulator?

    Thanks Tammy.....I went to my LDS and tried the MK25/S600 and was blown away as its ease of breathing....When I would close the flow on the Scubapro the greatest restriction, that was how my US Divers reg was breathing......and at 90 feet...No wonder I was feeling anxious... Thanks to...

    Unreasonable fear of depth

    Fuzz I am just now reading your original and subsequent postings and can totally relate. Its odd that when I originally learned to dive 15 yrs ago I had no fear and quickly got my AOW. But I took a break from diving due to family and even though I took a refresher class I have anxiety with...

    Easiest breathing regulator?

    Can anyone tell me if any particular regulator is known for easiest breathing? My current regulator is a trusty old US Diver. I know it will need to be replaced and I figured I'd start the research before it needed replacing...Thanks
