I concur also.

I want to dive too, somebody hook a brother up with a fin and a snorkel please. :)

Special thanks geraldp.

DeputyDan, I hope you know which forums your wife DOES NOT look into, because if she starts getting cranky, you can blame it on me lol So what are OW, BC, Sausage, Shears, Nitrox, AOW, LDS, and BCD? I don't know much here and the search button isn't very helpful either. Excuse my ignorance...

Approximately how much money did you guys spend to become fully equipped for SCUBA diving?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, actually I been a member here since May this year and Hello From Mars was just a joke lol Anyway, I didn't know so many people here didn't even know I existed *sniff*. I'll fill out my profile ASAP, I've been just a little busy here and I didn't have a lot time...

It's pretty good, they say if you can dive on Mars, you can dive anywhere.

Just kidding.

Gary, your story has inspired me, thank you for sharing. I can only hope that when I join the U.S. Navy I will find myself among such great and dedicated people such as yourself.

I will print what you both said and memorize it. I never did anything extraordinary in my life so I'm really excited about joining up soon and getting away from this hole I'm living in right now. I know it'll be tough but I count on my motivation to keep me in. From what I know, majority of...

EVEYPR7 I'm not a diver, but I'd just like to say that Gary D. offers you an excellent advice. Your friend is not the one that will decide when you should night dive, you are. If you don't feel confident doing it, then don't push it, give it time until you gain more experience and feel more...

This is exactly what I wanted, thank you very much rmediver2002. Just one question, what do you think I should focus on the most in this manual? It's pretty big and trying to study it all may be a bit overwhelming with my schedule now, but I'd like to hear your opinion. Is is it expected of a...

Hey guys, thank you all for your inputs. I've been working hard on my strength and stamina for some time now already, I just thought doing some academic work on diving would be helpful too. rmediver2002 I like the idea with the manuals, I looked for them on the internet and most of them range...

LOL I knew how to use the snorkel, I just didn't understand the physics of it, so why be sarcastic? You guys are a bunch of snorkels. CBulla thanks for the link.

Is there a thread here that explains how exactly a snorkel works? I did a search on snorkel but didn't find results I wanted. Till this day I don't know how this simple device works, so give a hand to the newbie please.

ACADEMIC PREPARATION: The course of instruction is complete and is not based on an assumed knowledge level. However, for classes in which minimum time is devoted to reviewing basic concepts, additional time is available for in depth coverage of the subject matter or additional practice in...

Thank you all for responding to my post, I've thought about what you all said and I've decided I will take the route of a diver. I'm realistic about this profession, I expect training to be intense, and if I don't make it as a diver my first enlistnment like Duane S. said, then be it, I guess...

Hi, I'm 18 and I'm soon joining the Navy. My plans are to become a SEAL, however I'm not a U.S. citizen yet therefore I'm not eligible for the program. I thought about becoming a Navy Diver until I obtain my citizenship since that would give me a huge advantage in BUD/S, especially in the...
