Hi Maria :D So having some trouble with buoyancy huh? Well, welcome to the world of scuba diving! I'm not making fun, but really, I just want you to know that a lot of what you're feeling is very normal for a beginner. If you try to search for my posts here, I had a similar problem with...

As a noob, here are a few tips that may help: 1) Strive to better your diving skills everytime you are underwater. Buoyancy is not an easy thing to master and so take your time. Don't be embarassed...and if unsure, ask more experienced divers--chances are, you will find someone who is...

Hi, I am very much intersted in purchasing a steel tank =) What other sizes does he have left and for how much? Would he be interested in shipping it to CA? PS:Please PM me thanks :)

I'm a beginner and my problem that stemmed from my certification is being over-weighted. I always had problems with trying to be horizontal as i was dragging my hips everytime...my bc always felt like it was fully inflated as well and so I got trigger happy with my inflator :( ..Now, after 13...

Welcome :) www.scuba.com is where I got all my gear from. I highly recommend them. They'll price match everything even www.leisurepro.com who probably has the cheapest gear around. Very proffesional, helpful and they really are after helping you instead of your money. Ask for Bob, he's...

I went diving in Casino Point yesterday, it was AWESOME! Besides the sea sickness and everything, I was able to descend with 22lbs no problem and my buoyancy was just awesome :D I will try for 20lbs next time I go. But before that, I will keep working on getting more lean! My goal is to...

I understand why people would buy from LP because it is the cheapest on a lot of things. My first advice is to just know what you're getting for the price. Don't just get it if it doesnt come with a manujfacture's warranty espeically for gears that you do need to spend money of: computer, bc...

Bella, I had a bad experience with Eco Dive Center as I took my OW class with them. I thought it would be fun at first but I was really stressed out on our first boat dive and at that point, I wasn't sure if diving was really supposed to be that stressful considering that you spend so much...

Wow, I definitely made the right choice of signing up for scubaboard. So much help! I have a jacket/vest style BCD now (sherwood avid). I have also switched my wetsuit to a full 7mm, will wear a 7/3/1 hood for my dive tomorrow and this is the first time I will be trying all of my equipment...

All this advice is so awesome :) I'd definitely like to see if someone can help me out in my area (Orange County) to figure out my buoyancy... I've been actually thinking of just taking my AOW so I include that as one of my dives. Does anyone know of a good instructor/lds here? And for...

Gosh, everyone is so helpful, I really appreciate it! I do understand that I shouldn't vary my equipment too much while I'm still figuring out my buoyancy, and this is the reason why I've bought all the necessary equipment I can buy besides a steel tank and weights. I did vary my gear a lot...

I'm just talking about beach dives on a Saturday morning in California :D with a buddy or two.. Thanks!

Hey there! I just got certified and pretty much would like to start diving with friends. What does a responsible diver bring with them during their dives and also those that stay behind (such as first aid kit etc)? I'd like to make sure I got everything covered with my equipment as a...

Hi Everyone :D I am new to this sport (just got OW certified) and I already love it, even if my buoyancy sucks...but I'll keep practicing for sure..I love these forums, they are so very helpful and I know I can get some pretty good advice here :blinking: So here goes my question. I'm a...
