So, how many of the original Swampsters are still around? I joined on the 2nd group dive to Possum Kingdom back in June 2001.

Would like to go sometime, but don't have a dive buddy. Would like to know if the Texas Swamp Divers ever do a group trip?

Ok everyone, I'm hoping to get back into the water this summer and it looks like most everyone in this area has relocated to CSSP from Athens. I haven't dived at CSSP yet mainly because I don't have any cold water gear. What do I really need? Dry suit? I'd like to say money is no...

Texas Mike? He used to be the most active member of the Texas Swamp Divers.

I just recently returned from a 5 day cruise on the Carnival Celebration out of Galveston, TX. Spent all day Monday 10/15 in Coz and got in 2 dives with Papa Hog's. Mike and Margaret were in Canada that day so I won't hold the experience against them. The dives were great for someone with...

When it's your time, it's just your time...don't believe me; read this Might as well just dive and have a good time....sheesh.

Don't know how big a deal it was to the rest of y'all, but I picked up my permanent C-Card today. Had the retirement ceremony for the Temp card and got a rush. Yeah, I know, no big thing, but it sure made me wish this was a dive weekend. :(

Dee and DennisW, Heard y'all had a great week of diving. Post some reports and pics. Make us jealous :)

I just read this post on another board and thought some of you might want to know, especially the Texas divers. "The owner of Adventure Sports, Shawnee, KS and a bunch of our divers were on the weekend trip to the Flower Gardens, and Stetson Bank on the Sea Searcher. While at the Stetson...

Just got back from a day of diving at beautiful Possum Kingdom Lake, TX with the Swamp Divers. Thanks to TexasMike, Corsair, Lynette and Tabitha for the hospitality and all the great advice and tips. Of course today would be the day the viz was non-existent and I am still waiting to see my...

It's taken a while, but I am finally headed to Athens ScubaPark tomorrow for my OW cert dives. Barring another unforeseen misadventure, come Sunday afternoon I'll be legitimate. Wish me luck, see ya later. I'm outta here! Jimbo

Hello everyone. At this point I am still very new to diving and plan to do my open water dives across Memorial Day Weekend. I purchased the AquaLung Malibu BC which has all the float in the back. I also decided on the Apeks T20 regulator. I used them for the first time yesterday in the...

Anyone out there. I ran across a Beuchalt BC on sale in one of the local dive stores for $199.95. Normal Stick was for $485.00. It has front and rear purge valves, stainless steel rings, not weight integrated. Felt good when I tried it on. Problem is, I am completely new to diving and...

Help!! I took my confined OW cert classes this weekend and couldn't make it through the last hour or so. When it came time to demonstrate buoyancy control in deep water I experienced sharp pain above my left eye and brow anytime I got deeper than 4ft. My instructor suggested I may have...

I begin my OW certification this week and plan to be in Cozumel for one day in October off a cruise ship. This one day is my primary motivation for learning to scuba. Does anyone have a suggestion for making the most of this opportunity? I will not be arriving until 9:00am and departing...

Hello everyone, I begin my OW certification this Friday 05/04/01. This looks like an interesting board.

I am as new as you can get, I haven't even had my first class yet. I purchased a mask and did the test for fit, but didn't think about the need for actually putting the strap over my head. When I got home I put it on and find that the strap seems to irritate the area where my left ear meets...
