I'm waiting to try this one out, but on a more experienced diver, possibly my instructor. put alkaseltzer in their bc pockets, then watch them look really worried as tiny bubbles start rushing out of their equipment!

I hope not, that puts him closer to me..... but I'll keep it in mind when i dive in monteray

I'm in oregon, but conditions shouldn't be too different, and I can dive here in a full wetsuit. I saw a few guys diving without jackets or hoods too, but that looked really cold.

good idea, but how?

I'm 16, just got my open water certification through PADI, and the open water dives were awesome. Just waiting for my dad to finish up his last dive for cert so we can go crabbing together this fall and hopefully dive before that too. Any other teen divers from oregon on here?

I'm interested in learning how to calculate nitrogen absorbtion, no decompression limits and multi-level dives by hand. Where can I find the equations/tables of absorbtion rates of tissues/whatever this actualy takes? I've got a vague idea of the theory and I've taken integral calculus so I...

I'm currently taking the padi open water certification test, and I'm wondering what effect being diabetic has on it? I've had type 1 diabetes, insulin dependant (also known as juvinile onset) for 6 years, and have done fairly well managing it. I've never lost concousness as a result of a low...
