    Bad Air on Mountain?

    I have personally seen the cleaning also. It is thorough however i am not an O2 technician I am speaking with DM experience. I use the air at that store and have yet to "taste" anything other than very dry crisp clean air. Dive safe,

    Innerkip??? How bad is it?

    In my experience, I have found no better vis than about 10 feet. On two occassions I have travelled and found that the vis is bad enough to call the dive completely. The ice dive was my last straw to the point that I do not attend Innerkip. In the middle of Feb, under 14 inches of ice, the...

    Temps in Tobermory

    The boats come out of the water on the 25th of October. In speaking with Perry he stated that Ice diving is possible and if air fills are required he would be available over the winter to do that. I am sure that if anyone is interested in doing an icedive there are a plethora of LDS's that...

    Ft Lauderdale Diving

    When I was there in March I was diving a current that was just about the strongest I have ever been in...... In some cases the name of the area is a name that is made up from local divers and it is actually part of a reef, that is why I asked. Thanks again and dive safe!

    Ft Lauderdale Diving

    In march I was diving with Pro Dive and they took us to a spot which they called "The Caves." Is there anyone out there that is aware of the correct name for the drift dive that we were in. Our first dive was on the Cpt John, followed by this reef dive. I need the proper name for my dive...

    It's been six years.....

    Getting into the water.... That kicks a$$!!! My instructor did the exact same thing. Being only at his advanced level of scuba many years ago he decided to train with his son only 4 years ago. His son has since become a DM and my instructor continued to his instructor level achieving the...

    Bare CT 200 Undergarment question

    I have not had a problem with mine either. I wear patagonia medium weight wicking underwear underneath so that I am warm enough and I find the suit to be just right. If the underwear is too restrictive it may be due to the size. To alter the shoulder may take from the insulating properties...

    Is this a good deal? **URGENT**

    If the tanks are hydroed and have a current vis they are a good deal with valves. Make sure that you have the valve burst disk looked at. I had one on an older tank go off on me and it is because they are hardly ever looked at. They are a minimal cost to have them replaced...just a thought...

    cramps

    The cramps are most probably several different issues however I know that bananas are very high in potassium. The potassium in your diet is a big factor in the reason for cramps in the calves. I changed my diet to include bananas and have never had a cramp since. Try it out and let me know...
