Count me in for some pasta salad and cookies! Hopefully my drysuit hasn't shrunk... Shrinking in a trylam suit must be a factory defect! LOL

Will Mike allow that?!? That definitely sounds like something crazy enough for me to do!!! Keep posted on the verdict!!!

Just got an email yesterday from Rich Synowiec with the "Scuba Concessions" there which read as follows ... "The tunnel has been off limits since late 1998 and it is considered trespassing to dive the tunnel since. This summer I petitioned the parks board of directors to allow permits to be...

To those of you considering this solution I would like to point out the fact that although the defroster will solve the wet/cold glove problem ... It will create yet another called "Stinky Neoprene Car Scent". Although a great solution in a pinch I encourage those reading this to weigh the...

Last I heard Ken was going to be there ... I know I will be! Anyone know if/when the Fire Truck is going into the quarry?!? I think they need to find a way to keep the lights working underwater!!! Lights + Strobes + Disco Ball & Dance Floor = Underwater Scuba Dance Party!!! Dork Divers Unite!!!

Attack of Gilboa's Killer Trout!

Most of it depends on how good your surface support is. I've been very fortunate to dive with a group from my university alma mater which provides excellent surface accomodations. (warm food, ez-up tents, :coffee:, changing area, etc.) Just got into dry suit diving, so that should help make my...

Never been to Thailand ... Advanced to DiveMaster in 4 months ... Could be fun! Just remember that if you're dive computer randomly spikes a few hundred feet that either A) you need to check your buoyancy control or B) you were underneath a tsunami!!! Cheers!

A standing ovation I must say!!! My eyes are always peeled for anything out of the ordinary. My luckiest find has been a 4lb piece of lead! lol

First time diving dry!

Perhaps with more dive time you can work on your trim. I found doing sumersaults help me get a good feel for how the air moved throughout my suit. I do miss the flexibility of neoprene, but I enjoy being dry too. Needless to say I won't be throwing away my neoprene yet! Good luck with the...

I know it's been said a few times, but a "carpool" price for a day pass could help lower the number of cars in the back area. I understand "per person" charges on everything else (camping, diving, etc.), but the per person on the "day parking pass" might be able to use some work. My dive buddy...

Never been to blue springs. I second Steve on Gilboa. It has a variety factor that very few dive locations in the midwest can match! Vis is usually 20-30ft unless some open water check out divers ("rototillers" as I call them) decide to walk along the bottom. If you're looking for ultimate...

I think Bill Phillips has developed an excellent program. Obviously he puts an emphasis on shakes and supplements, but I don't see that as all bad or self centered (just for the money). I think his concept of the "20 Minute Cardio Solution" is and excellent circuit training method. For...

skyking wasn't lying about 72 degrees ... I was a part of Ber's AOW class ... I got 70 with 64ish beneath the first (and only for that matter thermocline) After the rain the vis was not very impressive to say the least Tuesday night. The weeds are growing up with several already approaching...

Been diving almost a year now and finally have the time to go for my advanced certification. Will most likely be diving with my instructor on several Tuesdays from now until June. Most likely will be going to Gilboa, but would consider others. If you are interested in being a dive buddy on...
