    Does Off Clip On Repellent Work?

    Get a Thermocell....I can sit in a tree stand for hours in the swamps of LA and not get bit. Well worth the $20 bucks.

    Dive Shop in Frankfurt

    I learned to dive while stained in Germany...its HUGE there...every lake is like a NASCAR race...full of divers. Several shops in Frankfurt but i found the prices went down when you got out of the city. Almost every descent size town has a LDS.

    The truth of U-869

    I have read both and both were enjoyable, but I have given Shadow Divers to many on my non diving friends to read and they loved. It dosent read as dry as alot of non fiction books and sparked some intrest from friends to give diving a try.

    Purchasing an Oxygen kit and where to get O2

    I asked my local welding supply store about there oxygen. The answer was that ""technically" we dont have medical grade O2 but we have filled tanks for divers in the past." Is this safe? It would sure cut down on the problems of getting O2 filled from a medical supply store.

    What have you learned in the last year, regardless of how long you have been diving?

    I learned that my dive buddy (wife) doesnt like walls. On our first salt water dive in Curacao we took a nice shore dive out to the reef and at 35 feet it drops off on a nice wall down to about 90 feet. we got out over the edge and she didnt care for that. Never seen anyone "run" in the water...

    Purchasing an Oxygen kit and where to get O2

    I have 2 size E O2 tanks and since I moved from Germany back to the states had to empty both, so here is my question. Do the tanks need any type of inspections ,like our air tanks, other then the visual from the filler? I f so who would/could do it?

    Honeymoon

    CURACAO- My wife and I went in May and had a great time. The diving was fantastic. We stayed at the "Habitat" which was a very nice place. The only down fall was that is on the other side of the island from the city, but the do offer a free shuttle to and from. They also rent cars pretty cheap...

    Energy drinks before diving ???

    I wouldnt be able to figure out how my gear goes together without my morning coffee! I drink coffee before every dive, but I also drink coffee everyday anywhere from 1-2 pots. I have read and understand that caffine is dangerous but it would be more dangerous for my dive buddies if I didnt.

    Divers Signaling Mirror

    I have used signal mirrors several times, never during diving though, thankfully. Nothing better for signaling at long distances. Try looking in a military surplus store. The military has been using them forever. Cheap and unbreakable piece of life saving equipment.
