Well that sounds more like a leash. ;)

I wouldn't dive with you if you insisted on a tether, tells me you already have a certain level of apprehension and stress for the dive and we should just go ahead and call it. We can go get drinks instead. The absolute last place I want to be is tied to a panicked diver. Sometimes space is...

I wouldn't dive tethered to anyone, hold hands or have one person grab your shoulder or bc or something. Also get a z-knife. Completely safe and extremely effective way to cut lines underwater without fumbling with a blade or a sheath... i recommend always carrying one, but I run into fishing...

I've found countless sunglasses, anchors, and beer cans. I've been on dives where my buddy found a working go pro and another found a non working iPhone once. My best find was a fishing pole on a mud bottom lake with zero viz that my buddy threw in the week before. Asked me to find it...

Most scenarios we're taught we never need to use or have to use. Still a good exercise to go over it, know some different options, and if for some reason you ever do find yourself in one of these odd situations hopefully you react appropriately. How many people have taken a CPR class? How...

Always dive with a buddy, but that doesn't mean the buddy has to be in the cave with you, if the environment isn't conducive to it. You need a second person to go over your plan and know your plan, and be waiting topside either for your return or to direct your recovery. A buddy might also do...

Rinse it and dry it when you get home from diving, store it somewhere climate controlled, and you shouldn't have any issues.

Skin and scuba near the stadiums is best for tech diving. Unfortunately beaver lake or table rock are the closest dive sites and both are 4-5 hours away. The upside is they are both cold and deep!

I would skip the boot too, but if you insist you can always get something like the xs scuba boot that has holes in the bottom, then tie some rope to those holes to use as handles to pull the boot off. Slip a screwdriver through the rope when time to remove the boot and wiggle. Hammering on it...

Fulfills my desire to explore unknown worlds. More importantly, the underwater world is peaceful, something I can't say about anyplace I've ever found above water.

There a reason people call it "put another dollar in", but they are all the same. You won't find it any different from the other agencies, they all serve a purpose in promoting diving and diving awareness though. There's really a whale shark cert?

Most don't have much value, if you have a decent log book with lots of dives it will trump any cert card you may or may not have. Some are needed for specific things, like to get a tank of nitrox, many operators will require you show a card. To take pictures while diving, absolutely NO dive op...

I have an elastic string tied to my wristband and tied into a loop I can slip my hand through (similar to those elastic hair bands females use). If the watch band somehow comes undone, this elastic band will at least keep it tied to me. Takes no time to put on or take off, and is never in the way.

1. It's not cheap. 2. It's safe if done properly but there is an inherit risk to being in an environment humans can't naturally survive in. Same can said for flying. 3. It's not complicated. The skills required can be as easily taught as learning to drive, but something like learning to play a...

Over 10 years late... wow, hopefully he's got his tank stand together by now.

So you're the one person that read the safety information in the seat back pocket? ;-)

I get light headed in those scenarios you described too, that's perfectly normal. If you have a labor intensive job you can keep up with, you should be able to handle the physical aspect of diving without any issues. Don't be so l quick to give up, it's unreal being able to explore areas...

Do what kev said. I never get carsick while driving, but it happens to me easily as a passenger unless I'm looking out the front window as if I'm driving. If I'm looking down at a book reading or something, the results aren't good. Same on the ocean, watch the horizon and the waves as if you...

listerine has always done me well. rinse well

you can dive the whole thing in two days, makes a good one day trip too. i'm in raytown, me and some divebuddies often leave around 7am, get in 2-3 good dives, back by 7pm.
