Yea, for a little while yet. You do cold water, or waiting til summer? PM me

Caverns Measureless to Man - Exley Close seconds- Deep Descent, Beyond the Deep, Submerged Honorable mentions- The Last Dive

Ahh haha, actually I'm not. I packed up and moved to St Thomas when I wanted to dive. And now I'm gonna pack up and move to FL/GA when I want to cave dive. If you're gonna do something might as well do it right, and that means often! I've done my homework, been in wrecks, done one cave (no...

ah cool, that's making a fairly well defined area. Btw, what's Luraville close to? (Santa's been asked for a better road atlas) Ballpark, what you expect the drive from Jacksonville to Tallahassee to be? while I'm not selecting schools solely based on the diving, if I can't dive it's not...

My question I admit is a odd one, but that kind of thing has never stopped me before. Geographicaly where excatly are the FL caves (or most of)? I know most are in the northern part of state and some in Georgia. I'm looking at schools to finish my degree and tring to match school/diving/warm(er)...

First, I'd like to second the earlier recommendation of getting a car. Not only will you be able to avoid the taxies, but driving in STT is an experiece all it's own!! Chris Sawyer is a good shop. If you're looking for just an easy beach dive Coki Beach (north side). When I was living down...

Ah, then yea I run into some problems as well. Ok one that's at least PG. My first "buddy" and I worked so well together because we knew two things intimately -- the anchor line buddy system and the Witchell Shoal. The two of us were completely obsessed with the wreck, and she is such a thing...

Dry suit ladies, dry suit. I have lived in the water for months on end (wetsuit) and best trick I've ever found was my dry suit!!

We're looking at an incomplete sceen, I got some questions. *You said there were four divers in the group coming at you. One is the victium, how are the other three? *The class you're with, they are lifting objects. I assume they are not an OW class, but not trained in rescue... yes...

HELP!! I've been dry for over a month. I realize I need to be patient, but this is taking a LOT of will power. Ok, about two months ago my right ear was feelin full after diving, started to get dried and flaky (ear canal), and I had some problems coming up with reserve block. The Doc said...

As for the reefs, when I was around them I relyed on the tourism of them for my job. So I'm very protective (esp, Truck Bay) and careful to the point that I have never done any damnage beyond possility unintentionally kicking up some sand. I'm a little surprise that no one counts the looting...

The shop I went through charged 300US for OW and that included all equiment, the book, RDP, log book ... PADI advertisment stickers. Since the shop was about a block from the beach, other than the shop itself there wasn't really overhead for facialtes. And if you wanted or needed extra water...

Thanks Chad. The people I dive with around here are determined for me not to mess this up. We've had a more than a few back surgerys, the last one didn't do so well (not mine). I'm hoping, got my name on a boat mid-Oct to go bugging in delaware.

recoverying from surgery next week... drysuit snorkeling! assuming I can find the snorkel!!

Just over two weeks ago I had minor surgery. Now DAN's standard recommendation is 6wks on the basis of scar tissue healing completely. At a follow-up appoiment today my surgeon told me "no restrictions, if it hurts slow down" and "you can dive, but don't be stupid" (he does not dive). The...

1- If it ain't a wreck it isn't worth the tank 2- Anyone can go deep the trick is coming up 3- Never go anywhere you aren't absolutely sure you can get your own ass back on the boat

The OW students in you class are they doing all of AOW with you or just the book work. I have heard of students doing the next cert level while still on the preivious one, but it is book work only. Usually because lets say an instructor knows all the students involved and only wants to do the...

I always set up my own gear, because I don't even let other people touch my dive gear. First time anyone else touched my stuff was for a DSD, and my air wasn't completely turned on.... I was fine, but that was the last time anyone touched my stuff. Once I moved up here (and after half a...

Worth it, absolutly. It's work, but you'll have fun doing it. And besides (taking the class, at some point you'll have to yell for EMS which you can't do the dive site for a drill) , when but in a rescue class is it approiate to yell across the quarry : "Call for PORN, Bud needs videos!!!"

If you can dive well, boyancy, gas managment ect... all you need to get started in the ocean is a wreck reel (and know how to use it), up line, pony, and light(s). Start on some easy one's and see how you do from there. For boats, there's two in Indian River Inlet in Delware that are very...
