    Basic Film Questions

    Thanks for the replies. We bought the camera with an external flash attachment. And we'll probably not be enlarging many of the prints, they're just for albums. Truth be told, this was all my wife's idea, and I'm just kind of along for the ride.

    Basic Film Questions

    Good morning, We're never going to be high-end photographers, but we are going to purchase a Reefmaster RC Pro 33mm. Is 400 the recommended film speed? We rented this camera when we went to Bonaire a few years ago and had acceptable success with it. We'll be going to Cayman in a week...

    Blood Pressure Question

    Boy, I WISH oversized biceps were a problem, lol. Thanks for the info you guys. The supplement is just a creatine supplement. I think they just put the caffeine in there to give you a boost during the workout. I'd prefer it not be there, myself. Probably not purchase it again next time...

    Blood Pressure Question

    Thanks for the replies. Let me elaborate on a few things.. First off, I'm only testing the waters, so to speak, by throwing the question on the table here. Obviously the internet isn't the place to diagnose anything. :) I don't smoke. Consume about 3 drinks a week. Limited caffeine...

    Blood Pressure Question

    I have been taking my b.p. with a home tester for about a week. I'm averaging 134/82. Age 38 Male 6'-3" 195lbs. I'm in good shape. I'm not on any b.p. meds (yet). I tried some a while back, and hated the side effect of a raised resting heart rate. I got stubborn and ignored it...

    Pony Bottle Philosophy

    Well as luck would have it, I did a tune up tonight in the pool with my old instructor. Turns out he now makes it mandatory for himself and his staff to carry a Spare Air, and he does an excercise with it and let me use it. I think that's convinced me. :14:

    Pony Bottle Philosophy

    Thanks for all the input, very helpful. But a recreational diver who just goes out and buys a pony and tosses it on, and suddenly has the feeling that they are now safer and less dependent on their buddy, might not be diving with the mindset I'd appreciate from a buddy. That additional...

    Pony Bottle Philosophy

    I sometimes consider a pony bottle, but rarely see them used by recreational divers. I wouldn't want it to be a reason to become cavalier about monitoring my console (and I don't think it would). What are the other considerations that keep people from using them (and conversely, those that...

    Snorkeling in Ft. Lauderdale

    I have some non-diving friends who are going to be in Ft. Lauderdale at the end of this month. They'd asked me about snorkeling conditions, but having never been there myself, wasn't sure what to tell them. 1. Water temps/wetsuit requirements? 2. Visibility? 3. Locations/places to...

    nice dive in Fort Lauderdale...

    Hello all, Sorry for the slight thread drift, but what is the typical visibility in Ft Lauderdale area in the winter months? We've never been there, but we can get pretty cheap airfare at the moment and are thinking of booking. Thanks, Bosch *edit* Forgot to ask about water temps...

    Underwater slate ?

    I can't believe people would pay 30 dollars for the equivelant of a magna doodle. They're 6 dollars at any toystore, that's what we use.

    Milwaukee Diving

    Hello, Earlier this month I asked about diving up around the U.P. I'm from Nebraska, and am going to be visiting relatives in Steven's Point. He (my cousin) is a new diver, I am not. We've agreed that the U.P. is too far for a day trip, or for leaving the wives behind, so I'm wondering...

    Shipwreck Tours

    Thank you for the reply, Paula. So you've been there? Answers to your questions: I'm actually going to go up to WI from Nebraska in July, and my cousin is just now getting certified. So for him, it'd be first time stuff. I have AOW and a few specialties (drysuit, wreck, deep, and nav)...

    Shipwreck Tours

    Hi all, This is my first post, I hope I'm putting this in the right place. Has anyone ever been to this place: http://www.shipwrecktours.com ? Some of their linked pages won't load for me, so I'm wondering if they're Ok. I have a relative who has suggested it, but neither of us know...
