Ran across this last night. New Sony video camera that comes with water proof housing. Looks interesting. GoPro Killer? New Sony Action Cams Shoot 720p HD Video at 120fps Marc

Congratulations eweingarden.

My classes were held in the dive shop in their own pool. Approx 4ft at the shallow end and approx 10-12 ft at the deep end. Not a very big pool, but plenty big enough. And no kids jumping off a diving board on your head! I should add that since I certified through the shop, on Sunday...

To this I will add, do not be in the area right around the ladder while anyone is on the ladder. When the boat is pitching, they may fall off and you don't want to be under them if that happens. Marc

This is not my chart but I found it online when I had a similar question. Maybe it will help you. Scuba Diving: Bouyancy chart, peak performance buoyancy, padi open water Marc

I have the cruise line excursion booked for two tanks with Don Fosters in Grand Cayman Dec. 5 and considering booking one dive during a snorkeling boat trip with Eagle Ray in Cozumel Dec. 6. Would love to hear from anyone else who will be aboard. Marc

Thank you everyone. I am looking forward to doing more diving. farsidefan, I am already in big trouble as far as air consumption, I am apparently a big air hog! I was the limiting factor during our 2nd and 4th dives where we were using the second half of the tanks. I would start with 1600-1700...

Did my OW certification dives this weekend, August 11-12 at Beaver Lake in Arkansas and passed all skills and dives! Yippeee! The water was 85-87 degrees above 26 feet and visibility was about 10-12 feet. We finally caught a break on the air temps as it was only in the 80's both days instead of...

bperc, I see in Flickr that you use a Canon G11. Are you also using the Canon WP-DC34 housing or something else? Marc

Test post with Google Chrome. Please ignore.

I hope it stays this way through my OW cert dive weekend on July 14-15!

I read through this thread a few weeks ago and just today ran across this picture/article on one of the blogs I read. Granted, the guy is not SCUBA equipped but it is cool none the less. Photo: Pararescueman (with swim fins) jumps from a HC-130P/N King during a special rescue demo « The...

I realize there is much more to learn and you have pointed out some of that, but if I ensure the alternate air is there today while I learn, I can adjust to other factors later as I learn more. I have learned but need to practice, proper ascent rate, ensuring I don't hurry my ascent, as well as...

I think this thread clarifies in my mind what my instructor told me in the pool last Monday, "You begin your ascent at an early enough point to leave my 500 psi in the tank." When I looked at him quizzically, he explained to me that the last 500 psi in my tank was not my air, but was his. And...

Reefman, Really nice pics. I love number 8. Looks like (s)he is ready to have a conversation with you. Marc

I was going to ask about the size of the Parrotfish. It looks huge! Fantastic pictures Robin. Thank you for sharing. Marc

What do the more experienced divers consider to be essential information to log on each dive? I've been reading some of these threads on dive logs and I can see where having certain information in the future would be a good thing for planning future dives. Just starting my pool dives in a couple...

VooDooGasMan, A noob question here, but why were the divers in this video constantly digging their hands into the sand on the bottom? Marc

Don't be sorry. I'm new to the board and might've missed this entertaining, informative thread if you hadn't bumped it. Marc

9/10. Missed number 6. Immersion Diuresis.
