    Water Temp....

    If it warms up, which it finally seems to be doing, we might hit 70 at the quaries by August, maybe late July. But that will be above the first thermocline. Below that you are more likely to see temps in the 60's. There are a few people who dive with a 3 mil but most are the types that are...

    New here...looking for good Lake Huron Shore Dives

    I've never heard of anyone doing any shore dives in Lake Huron. In theory you could go in anywhere there is a beach, but you probably wouldn't see much. All of the wrecks are too far out to do from a shore dive. I remember seeing a post about some shore diving up in Macinaw but that's all...

    Gilboa Quarry, Fri, June 19th - Need a Buddy

    You do know that the water temperature this time of year tends to be a wee bit chilly. I did my open water there about this time of year many moons ago, and there was a lady walking around muttering "I don't dive 55", and she wasn't talking about the speed limit. It's not a problem if you have...

    Can't Dive Cozumel w/o an Instructor?!?

    PToone you will quickly find out that most divers and crews that run the operations don't pay that much attention to certifications no matter where you go. The only certs that they care about are you Open Water so you can go diving, Advanced (maybe) so you can go a little deeper, Nitrox so that...

    How to Sling a Pony?

    Guilty, I'm glad you pointed it out though, it was good for a few chuckles.

    How to Sling a Pony?

    I have to admit, never in a million years would I have thought to see a pony in a sling that way. Scubakevdm you win, very funny. :rofl3:

    Need BC to stabilize heavy tank

    It sounds like the Jacket BC possibly with the combination of the position of the weight belt might be the problem. The jacket BC will tend to be positive, lower on the body, the tank negative on the high side. Roll a bit and you get BC wanting to go up on one side, tank going down on the...

    Gilboa deep side requirements...

    I seem to recall asking Mike once if a deep dive plan was required to follow the road past the tubes. His answer was yes, a deep plan was required. But to be honest there isn't much to see over there anyway. The light that day made it really weird looking, and perspectives were somewhat...

    First Dives @ White Star--mini report

    Rich, just treat the PDF like you would an HTML file that you are putting a link to. Generally the problem is that the URL you have in the link is wrong. Looking at the site looks like you got rid of the problem in another way. :D I love the old shots of the quary you added. Especially the...

    First Dives @ White Star--mini report

    Yep, I saw that picture as well. The picture looks like a pretty good rendition of what's there. Overall I like the layout and the info on the site, it just needs a bit of minor tweaking to make sure all the links work. Went by the crusher today, but I didn't go in, things were a bit busy...

    First Dives @ White Star--mini report

    Okay, now I know what a tunnel pass is. Again from the www.whitestarquary.com web page. BTW, the links to the PDFs appear to be broken on the web page. The Crusher Pit and Tunnel at White Star Quarry The Tunnel and Crusher Pit of White Star Quarry is one of the most unique underwater sites...

    Whitestar water temps

    Any one have any recent water temps at depth at Whitestar? With the wierd weather we have had this summer I'm not sure my dive log's previous temperatures for this time of year will do me much good.

    First Dives @ White Star--mini report

    I'll bite, what is a tunnel pass? I know where the tunnel is over by the crusher.

    Ohio Diving

    I would amend that a bit: Gilboa you can go deep, see man eating trout, and lots of other stuff that will keep you thrilled for a few minutes. Gilboa also has Mike (Good or Bad), and very crowded on the weekends. Portage definitely has more of a park feel to it, but vis can be very bad. If...

    Viking bayonet dry gloves

    I will be in Seattle all next week and I'm looking for a dealer that stocks the Viking bayonet dry gloves, ideally in the Redmond area. Yes, I know I could order them, but I have done that with the DCS and the Si-Tech and I can't get either set over my hands. None of the dealers here in...

    Back up Air Supply?

    When you do get a pony bottle, make sure you drill yourself with it extensively. When you really need it is not the time to be figuring out how to use it. Also practice handing it off to your buddy, you may need to do that some day as well.

    Getting serious about getting Dry

    If you are looking at a Trilam suit, there are a couple of different weights and stretch. Diving Concepts makes basically two kinds (others do as well) one that's thinner and has some stretch, and one that is very tough, but little stretch. I have the heavier suit, at the time I was working...

    Dry gloves and latex sleeves

    Will DUI sell the ZIP for suits other than DUI? I got the impression it was for DUI only.
