    What should you really be doing at this time?

    I am a computer teacher, but my school is having all teachers become certified reading teachers and we have to complete a series of 5 courses. So, basically I read books about reading and discuss them. It isn't very riveting material. ;) Luckily, the majority of my students can read at grade...

    What should you really be doing at this time?

    It's about 10am...I should be turning in some work for a course I am required to take for my job. I should also be planning for the upcoming swim season and making updates to our website.

    How many divers are dog lovers/owners?

    I love this thread! We are owned by two dogs. Davie is our pound puppy who is supposedly half collie/half jack russell. I see the collie in him...sometimes :) . Winston is a brussels griffon. We have been told he looks like Chewbacca, a muppet, and an Ewok... To answer the question...our...

    Survived a Panic Attack at 100 feet - lessons learned

    I had the exact same experience in Hawaii this past April. Being on a wreck with a current, having confusion about what the heck is going on, feeling like the more you breath-the less air you get, and that you will die if you don't bolt to the surface immediately. I am truly glad that you are...

    Home remedy for fleas

    I second using Drs Foster and Smith...it is cheaper than the vet or at large pet stores and it is the exact same product. You do not need a vet Rx to order either. We also spray the yard with one of the insect killers that you can attach to your hose from Home Depot...just make sure it lists...

    Anyone gotten sea lice this season?

    So, now is the season for sea lice...has anyone had it, yet? This will be my first summer diving in SFLA and I like to wear a wet suit, but am SO afraid of the thought of having sea lice covering my entire body. :(

    New to the Board

    Welcome! I am with you on the countdown to summer break as I am a teacher, too! I dive LBTS a lot due because it is a GREAT dive (and easy on the pocketbook). You should find lots of inspiration there. Happy diving!

    Blog Application - what do you use?

    I have had success buying my domain and hosting account through goDaddy.com. I then imported WordPress. At godaddy, you can host multiple sites through one hosting account (it has to be above the economy plan though).

    The power of forums, internet & suicide of a dive operator

    How sad. While I believe information should be freely available, it is cases like this where I wonder if that is such a good idea. I recently had to speak with my administration about a student looking up similar websites in class...it was very scary. I am a huge advocate of computers being...

    I am so sorry.

    Losing my best canine friend

    I am so sorry to hear your news. Anyone who has had any pet in their life knows that there is nothing that compares to the love you have for each other. My dog Roxy became very ill and we couldn't find a diagnosis, but in the end she let me know when it was time to go. It was heart wrenching...

    Near drowning experience

    Thanks for the post! I'm truly glad everything ended up ok. I panicked recently and had the "I'm going to die" feeling and it was not fun. I'm sorry you had to go through it, but I do agree with those who say it will probably make you (and I) better divers and more aware of all situations.

    Skills dives

    My usual buddy and I are totally new divers with less than 20 dives and we practice OOA at the end of our dives when we ascend. We also have signals to remind each other about our trim/buoyancy....I know we aren't very good at those skills, yet. We are still both very busy underwater and aware...

    That is great news to hear! My husband and I are new divers. We were actually looking at the RR dive op for a weekend getaway. Thanks for posting.

    How long since you went to the Prom?

    What a great cause! While I will not be able to attend, I will forward the info on to some friends that live in the area. I went to prom last year...but, I'm a high school teacher, so I go every year. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing...hmmm.

    I panicked, lived, and learned...

    I was certified October 29, 2007...last October. I didn't request a deep dive. I have never alluded to wanting a refund. I did not want a refund at any point...going on the dive was my choice. I have taken responsibility for my choice from the start. I did not name or blast the operator, I...

    I panicked, lived, and learned...

    Hi Jason! Welcome to Scubaboard! LOL. I definitely did not request such a dive...wrecks scare me regardless how deep they are. I was just certified in October and was very nervous about going to 100 ft wreck and made it clear to the Captain. When I spoke to him to confirm the next days dive...
