    Pearl Lake, Il - May 14th

    Anyone up for a couple dives at Pearl Lake tomorrow? I'm available all day, and need to find out if i still fit in my wetsuit (i put on a few lbs this winter). The real reason is that I want to get my opening dives in for the season!

    Honeymoon Trip Sept 16-20, 2007 in FL?

    Hello, My fiance and I are talking over options about our honey moon and I was wondering how risky it would be to go to a resort around Orlando, FL during the previously mentioned week. Do you think it is stupid to risk that extra stress if a hurricane happens to be floating around during...

    Bicycling Suggestions

    I did check into the various fitness clubs in my town but wasn't impressed with either the facilities or the cost of membership - hence my decision to buy a bike instead. I do wish there was a nice pool to do laps in that didn't cost so much (these pools were in sad shape as well). Thank for...

    Bicycling Suggestions

    Wow, thank you all for your great responses. I would rate my self physically as somewhere between couch potato and slightly out of shape. I have a build that lends itself to a natural strength but my endurance sucks. I would like to develop the habit of riding a couple miles a day (probably...

    Bicycling Suggestions

    I realize that this is a scuba board and not a bike board, but one of the reasons I am looking into buying a bike is to get in shape for scuba. Hopefully this is on topic enough. However, I honestly have not rode a bike in like 10-15 years, and I'm sure there has been a great deal of...

    Breathing from freeflowing reg

    I was taught to kind of bite down on the one side of the mouth piece so the air flows across your lips. Both hands free, and you can still sip in some air. Imagine getting a drink from a water foutain (bubbler?) spout and thats how the air would kind of flow across your face. I hope that...

    SSI vs. PADI

    As far as SSI pushing gear, with my instructor he didn't pressure anything. He ever cracked jokes about how the manual was written in some areas that stressed certain jokes. I guess i'm trying to say, don't assume that b/c the manual sounds pushy the instructor will be pushy about equipment.

    Scare tactics advertising

    It could be just me, but i'm willing to bet this wasn't a scare tactic. It was probably an attempt at humor, however poorly people may or may not find it.

    scuba web site feedback please

    If i remember right, i think they are based overseas, but may have a warehouse in chicago they ship non custom items from. i could definately be wrong though.

    scuba web site feedback please

    I have a Triple L Wetsuit and Orion BC. I bought them because of the price, and I am new to diving. I've got about 15 fresh water dives on them. I wouldn't buy the wetsuits from them again, there was pilling (is that the right word) on the shoulders after about 10 dives. The neoprene is also...

    I have that reg too, and I really like it. Breathes incredibly easy.

    Pirates of the Caribbean II, did you see all of the reef critters?

    Pretty good. Running gags from the last movie carry over. "Hide the rum!" I enjoyed it, but think it will be the forgotten one of the 3. Unless the 3rd one really sucks.
