My wife and I both have 2 lbs. in each of the back trim pockets and the rest in the ditchable front pouches.

Rescue before the season is out, DM next spring.

This is a great thread folks. I am just getting ready for Rescue and then onto my DM probably next summer, I really like getting a feel for what's coming. Charles

P.S. Search and recovery too, just remembered.

We just did our AOW this past weekend. The two required dives are deep and nav. Our deep was 62 feet at 3'000+ altitude and cold water. The nav dive was swimming a rectangular course and a pyramid course. The three other dives are selected from the various AOW disciplines. We did peak...

We had great luck with Quiescence as well...

We had a scheduled trip back to the Florida keys and I got the crazy idea of seeing a "different" part of the keys we hadn't seen the first time, namely the underwater part. That got us into our OW cert. We didn't quite count on the "addiction" part :). Now we will be planning all future...

Key Largo with Quiescence. Flying in Friday, driving down and diving Key Largo on Saturday. Our first ocean dives and certainly first reef dives, we can't wait!

Same thing, I have the QD+ and have not lost a weight pocket since my first experience. The key is to *make sure* you securely clip it in, the QD+ makes a loud "click" when it locks. My one exception was my first experience with it at the LDS pool, lost one in the shallow end because I didn't...

We are diving the afternoon dive with Quiescence this Saturday the 20th. Will be our first ocean dive, can't wait!

I'll post my own mini-panic from this past weekend that I am still kicking myself over. 20' fresh water controlled ascent, go to put a small puff of air in my BC (I was a little overweighted), nothing, no air going into the BC but my reg is just fine. Get to the surface but only by kicking...

Thanks all, I'm sure we can find one for a quick reef dive on the way south! Charles

Dove my new PRO QD+ over the weekend for the first time. Still trimming out the weights, also am a brand new certified OW diver. Still, top votes for the PRO QD compared to the rental equipment I used in class. BC fits great and is comfortable when inflated.

I apolgize if this one has been asked before, but any recommendations for dive shops in Key Largo? We are going to be passing through on our way to Key West in September and thought a reef or reef/wreck dive along the way might be fun. Thanks!

14 years being a vegetarian, just OW certified and not planning on changing my diet since starting to dive! :)

I passed my OW this past weekend!!! Yeah!! My wife had a little trouble with OW dive 1, but completed OW 1 and 2 on Sunday and will have to finish off OW 3 and 4 this coming weekend. I get to go along and dive just for the fun of it this coming weekend... Charles and Carolyn Leader

I have the exact same symptoms, though less popping as my eustachian tubes are a bit clogged now. Saw my doc yesterday and he identified fluid in the middle ear, prescribed Zyrtec and Flonase. Hoping to have it cleared by this Saturday so I can finish my OW cert. It happened during the confined...

My wife and I completed the PADI OW written and confined water dives this past weekend (looong weekend). We are doing our open waters in McCall, Id. this coming weekend. Our purpose for getting ceritified is a planned trip to Key West in September. Just found the board and wanted to introduce...
