Congrats.

I purchased an N2ition two and a half years ago, downloaded the softare, and have used it successfully with an XP OS these last couple of years. I recently purchased a new laptop computer, still running XP, and have downloaded the software from the Zeagle site. Upon running it I see that it's...

Your wife was with you and your other buddy on this dive and she ascended by herself?

I watched a 4 ft water snake and a catfish go at if for a good 15-20 minutes in the Nueces River. The snake had latched on to a 2+ pound catfish just behind the stomach. I was concerned it could have been a Water Mocosin (sp) but after 15-20 minutes and the catfish still had plenty of fight so...

Chalk Bluff is abourt 10-15 miles west of Uvalde on the Nueces River. Here's a link to their website. www.chalkbulff.com Also here's a post of mine from a couple of years ago after my first visit. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/texas-swamp-divers/189821-chalk-bluff-recent-visit.html...

I've been to Chalk Bluff several times. Viz can be 40-60ft. But deepest I have found is 10 feet. With the lack of rainfall I'm sure even that will be a challenge. It makes for a good night dive. Lots of fish.

The instructor who taught my rescue class dives Amistad with a boat all the time. PM me and I'll give you his contact info.

I did for a while. When it subsided I realized it had more to do in confidence in myself than it did with confidence in her. Slow down (i'm not just talking about swimming speed), take your time, and enjoy the dive. My goal in diving is quality time with her more than it is about SCUBA...

If you haven't already, you may want to contact them, explain your situation, and tell them you want to do a night dive, but on a different night. If they understand the level of commitment you have to your choices they may be accomodating . . especially if you're assigned your own instructor.

I think that classes in underwater photography and Fish ID are cool and have their place but I personally believe that classes towards an advanced certification should be the type that help you improve your diving skills . . .classes that will make you a safer and more self-sufficient diver...

I guess I got one out of a good batch. I have the dive rite and mine works just fine. I'll be careful, however, about recommending it to others since there are several here reporting it as having some faults. On the other hand, are you sure it's just not being affected by that steel plate in...

Even a normal EKG? Or just if you showed some abnormalities?

I too would like to see this. This is a nice little computer but the accompanying documentation is a little weak. This would be a nice addition.

If you're getting a free Nitrox upgrade with your trip and plan on doing more than a couple of dives a day you should probably do it. Price seems a tad high but that may be the going rate for the N.Y. Market. Have fun in Bonaire.

Continue to make it first and foremost about spending quality time with my wife/buddy. Lose 50 lbs Exercise daily Sneak a warm water trip into a busy year Find ways to apply/practice my Resuce skills Research the options/value in taking a basic EMT course.

I typically dive with a full length 3mm suit. When I need some extra protection I add a 2mm hooded vest. Sometimes I'll use the hood, sometimes not. The vest is sleeveless so no constriction issues.

Believe it or not I actually really enjoyed learning the tables as part of my OW course. After OW, my funnest class, and the one that most closely met my expectations was my Rescue class. My wife/buddy and I have also set up several underwater Navigation courses at the local lake for our LDS's...

My wife and I both wear the ID tag on our BC's. It comes with a little plastic clip that looks a little like a plastic, threaded carabiner. The tag holder is polished chrome so it doubles as a signal mirror.

Well, at least according to this: Baghdad celebrates first public Christmas amid hope, memories - CNN.com I'd be curious to know if you're hearing something different. Be safe.
