Not to revive a dead thread, but this post is exactly what I was looking for. I'm planning a trip to Charleston with the fam in early April 2014. While I'd love to do a fossil dive there, none of them are divers. In particular I'm looking for a place I can take my 11-year-old son, while my...

Seriously, while home remedies can work, you can also mess yourself up big-time if you get it a little wrong. Hang out in an ER one night and see. A GOOD neti pot solution should be the right temperature, the right salt level, and the right pH. Some people make them too salty (hypertonic)...

You gotta worry about tarponCHIK shaving her? mustache. :D But seriously, that's what I do. Trim the stache down below the nose a bit. It's called a Diver's Mustache.

Wouldn't that interfere with the seal at the neck, allowing greater water exchange?

What do you do with the strap that pulls the zipper up in the back? I've got a Henderson Hyperstretch 5m one-piece and it zips up the back. When diving, no prob...it's under the BC. But when freediving/spearfishing, what do I do with it to keep it from flapping around?

See anything cool down there?

Willougby Bay? Like negative visibility? :)

I emailed them to confirm if this was for real. They replied...they are patent pending right now, and as far as I can tell they expect it to be ready summer 04. I then asked a little more about how it works, depth ranges, etc. It seems to me that the energy provided by my exhale would be...

Hey Don! How has the diving been? I haven't seen any reports on TidalFish, so I assume you haven't been shooting anything, but have you seen anything interesting recently? (I'm trying to live vicariously through you!) :) Matt

I'm too poor to pay to go scuba diving or snorkeling. :) I have my own boat, so I either take that out, or buddy up with someone else who has a boat on the Tidalfish site. I think some of the guys on TF also do private charters.

Brutus - Go to www.tidalfish.com, and one of their message boards is strictly for spearfishing & diving. That site caters mostly to the Chesapeake area, so it's a great place to meet local spearfishers on-line, and even hitch a ride! I've met two new friends who spear through that site, and...

I've freedived around the CBBT islands, as well as using tanks. I had better luck free-diving around the islands, though I'm not sure if that has to do with the bubbles or not.

Brutus - Way to go on the Tog...that's AWESOME! Were you freediving or using tanks? See anything else interesting down there?

Whew. E 10-15 is still no fun. That makes for some serious pounding. And I'm gonna have to throw the reality flag on the weatherman if they think E 10-15 is only going to raise 2-3 footers. :)

Just checked the weather forecast for this weekend...N winds 20-25, seas 5 feet. Guess that rules out the CBBT 4. :)

Hey Don! I can't make it this weekend...this is honey-do weekend. But if the weather holds, next weekend Dive2Fish8 from Tidalfish.com and I might try to hook up. His name is Brett...I don't know if you know him, but he's been spearing in the Chesapeake for 8 years. He just bagged a 13lb...

Anyone here do any spearfishing in VA?

That's exactly what I would suggest. The funny thing is that this happened on the boat after the dive, not during the dive. I am very comfortable under water, and my breathing is controlled. I'm very conscientious about that because of safety reasons, and because trying to stalk prey...

I just did a little clinical study. :) I sat on my couch and pretended I was seasick. I breathed in and out, very deeply and about the same rate I would if I were trying to control my seasickness. My arms went all tingly. Mystery solved, I guess. That explains why it went away so...
