    It sounds like your son is near Atlanta. 700 dollars sounds incredibly high. Please tell him to contact me. You can PM me his e-mail and then I can give him some information.

    Local dive sites in Georgia

    All I can say, is if we all liked the same things, there wouldn't be very much to discuss on SB. We all have different experiences, points-of-view, and preferences. We all learn from each other. A friend of mine says: "That's why Baskin-Robbins sells 31 differerent flavors. We're all so...

    Local dive sites in Georgia

    Hey, Lake Lanier isn't that bad! LOL It depends on what you're used to, and what you want out of diving. It's great for skills. I enjoy it since I was raised diving Texas lakes. If you can dive cold, and with low viz, you can be confident in diving just about anywhere. (Unless of...

    Local dive sites in Georgia

    Hi- I am in Atlanta, and if you really want to dive, you're going to have to drive. It depends on what you are looking for. The quarry in Alabama is a nice dive, but it's still pretty cold, and 2 and a half hours away. Lake Lanier is good for diving too, but, then again, it depends on what...

    If you had your life to live over

    spent more time with my grandfather, who died when I was 13. I was too immature and self-absorbed to realize that life is precious, and to not take people for granted. He died of a heart attack one morning while he was visiting us. I was in too much of a rush to get to school that I didn't...

    What happened to the Manatee trip thread?

    It was a nice dive. The bad thing was that it was totally silted up. The guy that runs the place said that they had been busy the entire weekend. It reminded me a lot of Texas diving. LOL Into the cavern/cave, all we could see of each other was a pinpoint of light from our dive lights...

    What happened to the Manatee trip thread?

    And I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone. Thanks to Beck for coming up with the great idea, and giving us all a reason to get together! Seeing the manatees was definately an awesome experience. I hope that we can all dive again soon! Thank you everyone for your kindness!

    What happened to the Manatee trip thread?

    Hey, I love that Walter calls me Darlin'. It makes my day. The world would be a lot nicer place if there were more people like Walter around. And yes, my husband knows that Walter calls me Darlin'. He says that he'd be concerned only if Walter started calling him Darlin' too. LOL :-)

    What happened to the Manatee trip thread?

    Hi everyone- I was wondering if I could get some help from one of you fine people joining us on this trip. One of the guys from my Atlanta group is currently down in Ft. Lauderdale. He really wants to meet all of you, and come on this trip. He just called me to ask if there is any way...

    Who ever thought diving would be done in your own home?

    Well, can any more catastrophes happen? It's a good thing I keep my mask and fins close at hand at all times. LOL We woke up yesterday AM to water coming up through our bathroom floors. A water line broke under our building and flooded our entire condo. We spent the morning freaking out...

    "Oh, you're a diver too?"

    Nitroxbabe- I think that there's been a lot of good advice here, as well as a lot of insightful experiences that people have had. I just have one small thing to add to this conversation: My father always told me that the key to any successful relationship (business, friendship...

    What happened to the Manatee trip thread?

    Okay, not to be confusing, but two people from my DIR Atlanta group have said that they are going, along with spouses and maybe a couple of friends. Well, they have told me that they were coming as of a couple of days ago, but I know that things can come up and/or people change their minds...

    What happened to the Manatee trip thread?

    I will be down there Friday evening. I think that we can try to hook up at the restaurant, and maybe put up a SB sign or something near a table in case there is no dive flag. I'll do an imitation of the dancing banana, and I am sure I will be recognized as from this board. LOL :banana...

    $500+ a day diving !!!!

    but, I am sorry, what you are suggesting does not sound safe or enjoyable. With all of the hazards, especially all of those chemicals in the water, you could very well end up with a totally different hair color coming out. Please be careful.

    Scuba Fashion?

    own style. Some are more distracting than others, of course. If pink fins do it for you, then that's great. I personally, am not a 'girlie girl' and that kind of gear is not my style. I see that same type of thing at the gym. Women all decked out in pink and purple work out clothes, with...
