    Diving without Certification (A RANT)

    No I do not know the Tech Diver. It may be my friends ball game. However he is also my Brother -in-law. So that adds an additional layer to the story. I may have gone high right. But... If something were to go wrong I'd have to hear about it every time I strapped on a tank. Man...

    Diving without Certification (A RANT)

    Again my question was, Am I off base with being irritated by this. It was not meant to devolve into this whirling dervish back and forth about instructors vs. techdivers.

    Diving without Certification (A RANT)

    Oh Man...This was really not what I wanted this to devolve into. You want details, here you go. 1) Both guys are under the age of 30. 2) This was a shore dive in the Florida Gulf off of Destin with High Wind. 3) The dive had no plan. "Here's your tank, here's your reg, here's your BC, keep...

    Diving without Certification (A RANT)

    It was on the coast. Apparently a shore dive of some sort. Again it just seems like a heck of a risk. It leaves me scratching my head. Yeah nothing happened, but it could have. I thought that, as divers, we needed to mitigate risk and call things out that don't seem quite right. Which is...

    Diving without Certification (A RANT)

    Okay, Hold on just sec. This isnt 1970 (no disrespect). Both guys are under 30 of age. The friend is my brother-in-law. The tech diver is friend of his from work. My point is if he wanted to learn to dive he should have found an instructor. I have friends who are instructors who let me...

    Diving without Certification (A RANT)

    Alright, I have to get this off my chest!! I have a friend who decided to go diving without any certification. The guy that took him was a Tech Diver with over 250 dives. I told my friend that diving without a cert is a pretty big risk. He may try it and love but by never taking the class...

    Bad Air Experience

    Ive been monitoring this post for awhile and I have to say that I can't believe that NADCO would give somebody bad air. I've been using them since I started diving and have never had a bad experience. They are a very professional dive shop. Just because the inspection label says NADCO doesnt...

    Article: Should Shark Week Focus on Conservation?

    I waTch Shark week with my 2.5 year old. He loves fish, sharks and whales. As a matter a fact he has a stuffed shark that he sleeps with. I figure if we don't watch the "sharks eating people" episodes alot of the other programs really show these animals doing amazing things. He loves...

    wetsuit seam coming apart

    Thanks guys. I've already contacted the Manufacturer. This is really a plan B because I cannot afford another wetsuit right now. Being that I got this suit online, I am expecting trouble.

    wetsuit seam coming apart

    I have a wetsuit that is separateing in the back where two different thicknesses come together. The wetsuit was purchased in April. I was planning on using some Aquaseal or similar product to put it back together. My concern is the fact that it is a seam and not in the main body of the...

    Buoyancy AHHH!!

    Well That would suck in a quarry. I'll just keep working at my configuration till I get some head way. I've good strides since OW. So it should only get better.

    Buoyancy AHHH!!

    "You don't look overweight physically from your photo in your avatar~ You dive in freshwater using a 7mm wetty and 21lb- I believe you are over-weighted- I use a al80, 7mm wetty with hood in SALTwater and use 18lbs, I could drop half of that in freshwater. Slow your breath rate down by...

    Buoyancy AHHH!!

    Okay so maybe I need you guys more info. Here is the deal, long and drawn out. I dive a 7/5 wetsuit typically with hood and gloves when I go deeper than 35 feet (i dive quarries mostly for experience and proximity) I rent a BC typically Back inflate(Zeagle Scout). The best dives have been...

    Buoyancy AHHH!!

    Thanks You are right about the adding air till I see movement. Some dives are better than others in terms of buoyancy. Last week I tried my level best to control my buoyancy with my breath and not mess with the inflator till it was a absolute necessity. I had some success with that. I...

    Buoyancy AHHH!!

    I am having some issue with my buoyancy. The beginning of the dive through about to 1500 psi in my tank I do great, give or take some minor adjustments here and there. However once I get below that magic number of 1500 my buoyancy really suffers it is poor, i'm constantly inflating or...
