    Close Call on the SC Coast

    Thanks for the post. I did my first 100+ft dive on the Hebe last year, same boat. It was two great and problem free dives for me, but afterwards I really spent some time thinking about diving that deep and how close to the edge it can be. When I downloaded my dive profiles to my computer, it...

    Willow Springs 7/21/07 (brief)

    Hey guys, That and the lake at greenbriar are the only places I can seem to get #1 son into the water. He's pretty much in a use it of lose it situation. I was down in the keys in March and did some diving, but I guess the stars just weren't in their right alignment. I was tired and kind...

    Banana drama

    I was recently diving in Myrtle Beach and got this explanation. In the old days, sailing craft transported bananas up the coast. People would go down to the beach after a big blow, and if they saw bananas that meant a ship had sunk in the storm. Nobody got their bananas tossed overboard...

    How old can u scuba dive to?

    I'm 58 , just finished my AOW. Been diving for 2 years. I think a lot if it has to do with how you feel about the water and diving - if it clicks for you, then you learn how to work around any physical issues you might have. I recently did ten dives in a week - I was pretty tired but loved it...

    Please Help! I need to get over this fast!

    as everyone else has said, practice in a non-threatening place like a pool. I'm still pretty new, but I'm coming to learn that many of the basic skill are important in ways I hadn't thought of. I was recently diving with a new mask off myrtle beach and it was flooding and felt uncomfortable ...

    How to anticipate (possible) seasickness?

    the motion of a boat in swells can be different than the motion on a lake. I'm really not susceptible to sea sickness, but I always take ginger before a boat ride (even on a cruise ship). It works for a lot of people (for me as well as dramamine), cheap, and no side effects.

    I dove with them about 2 weeks ago and they were obviously well trained and concerned about safety. Nice roomy boat too. When some divers got a little careless, Captain called a meeting and made it very clear that you either dove safe or sat on the boat. I was diving with Express...
