The first is too geometric for my tastes, but the second is absolutely stunning. Loving it!

:lol: Loved the linked story. That member needs to write professionally. She could be the Dave Barry of the diving community. I had similar experiences to trucker girl's trying to get into a jane and jacket combo. I'm much happier with my Aqualung Aquaflex 7mm. I use the roll technique. It...

I tend to have a very stressed feeling if my buoyancy isn't working out well, especially if I'm still sinking and I want to have stopped. I've found that concentrating on my breathing (long slow inhale, long slow exhale...like in yoga) really helps me focus on solving the issue instead of...

Blast. I mean, good. I don't know what I mean. I'm excited about the possibility of having a baby, but not excited about having to give up two of my most favorite sports (target shooting and scuba) for nine months plus however long it takes to get pregnant. Sacrifices must be made for good...

Here be sharks. Er. I mean, welcome. :) The water is fine.

There's no reason other than that I've not been taking birth control pills to suspect I'm pregnant yet. No missed period (that's still 7-14 days ahead). I suppose the question I need to ask my doctor (among the dozens of other ones) is how often do I need to test whether I'm pregnant, and does...

It's supposed to be reliable the day your period is late. Which is still one or two weeks away. Will DAN talk to me even if I am not a member?

First thing I should note is that I will never knowingly do anything to put any child at risk, even if it means life is going to be really, really boring (or worse, but really boring is what's currently at stake). So please don't get the impression that I'm trying to find an excuse to do...

Scubagirl, welcome! I'm new too. Just certified yesterday. And I had some of the anxiety you describe. I was sure I was going to panic or be sucked into the abyss. :lol: I don't know how you can be sucked into the abyss in a mere 12 feet of water, but I was really scared. First, remember is...

rhyz, I feel you on that water temp. 60 F has never felt so cold! We spent quite awhile on the platform waiting for other students to complete their skills, so it got to feeling real cold. I discovered while playing with buoyancy that if I stood on the rail of the platform, my torso was in...

MB, I'm comfortable with what we learned as far as safety in the basic OW class. I wonder whether the instructor didn't say anything about kicks because our kicks looked fine. Certainly that would be the best scenario, but I do believe I'll speak to him about it when I speak to him about not...

I got an Aqualung Aquaflex (DH has the mens' version) and love it. We spent about 30-40 minutes hanging about the dive platform (waiting for our turn to perform UW nav and CESA) in 60 degree water. It was cold, but not too cold. Other than that I was toasty the whole dive. The suit is a...

I've just finished my PADI open water certification. Possibly it does have kick illustrations in the book. I'll have to check in the a.m.

Woo hoo! I completed my open water certification. The part I thought would be scariest (the controlled emergency swimming ascent) was the easiest. The under water compass navigation turned out to be a little scary. The water was murky and cold. But I got where I needed to be and I got back...

I'm still very new to diving and have not seriously begun to shop for fins. Right now I feel that there are too many basic things to work on to think about buying fins right away. What would you advise the new diver to consider when selecting a fin? Anything I should avoid as a novice...

I'm going for my final check out dive for open water tomorrow night. I've been thinking about this and that and it occurred to me that we were never taught how to kick. About all I know is that the kick should ideally come from the hips. Doubtless, there are a hundred ways that work to...

Halter tops are e-vile. At least for me. I always feel like I have something (an albatross, maybe?) hanging around my neck. Speedo and Nike have some really cute swimwear. Only problem is finding it on substantial clearance, as the usual prices is around $80 US. Thanks for the feedback...

:huh: Why? Color is pretty.

:lol: Apparently God DID intend it to be covered (after the incident with the fruit), since he made clothes for Adam and Eve. A 400 pound man "has it" (same stuff the rest of mankind has), but I really don't want to see it. Come to think of it, I don't want to see me, and I don't weigh 400...
