Thanks for all the great info. I have already looked up Sport Chalet BT. Thanks again. I haven't been on the board in a while, but we have been certed for a while and stay pretty practiced. We have our own drysuits, but I hesitate to bring them because of the baggage costs, so we may just...

Any locals have info on what kind of exposure gear we will need to bring/rent to save baggage fees and where to get them? Anyone going to be in the area want to show some East Coasters about? Any ideas on local shops - we are not cash heavy, so cheaper is bettera. Thanks in advance...

I just got back from a trip with Express Water Sports out of Murrell's Inlet. The only day they had any openings while we were there was for the Goldfinch Ledges. Did a two tank dive trip with them to the Ledges on the 13th of July. It was nice dive and the Dive Op was great. I would go with...

I live in Ripley and have been following the story. Depressed I din't get called in to help, but that's another matter. :D I don't think the suspects told them where to look. As they are still denying involvement at this time. It was (they suspect) the wife's boyfriend. SHe is from...

Glad to hear you got in some good diving on Saturday, sorry I couldn't make it. I had a Trail run on Saturday and the Greg had a gigi that night in Beckley so we were packed. I'm glad you had a good day though. Hope to se eyou guys soon. P

I don't but Ed at the marina is a very nice guy. They will be happy to give you directions and help you out.

Got a call from the docks at Bee Run Marina in Sutton lake. They have officially sunk a ccabin cruiser for diver's enjoyment. You will have to have a boat or rent one for the day to go out and play on it, but it is there. Winter run off is beginning soon, by October 10th the marina will...

You can expect it, but it doesn't mean it happens. I have a local shop that has doen it's best to jerk me around. I think becasue they know they are the only game in town they think they can badger me into buying what they want me to buy and treating me like dirt when I come in and they...

Yes Barcelona is SW. probably about 50 miles or so down I-90? from Buffalo. I would highly recommend www.osprey-dive.com. They were really great and the boat had a nice warm cabin to get in out of the wind and a very clean head. This matters a lot as I don't have the right equipment for a...

Finish a half marathon.

4 really great dives in lake Erie this weekend. Went with a group of 13 other tech divers, I don't know what they were thinking letting Hubby and I come along. The boat was so organized and the divers worked so well together. I would have to say it was one of the best charters I have ever been...

4 really great dives in lake Erie this weekend. Went with a group of 15 tech divers, I don't know what they were thinking letting Greg and I come along. The boat was so organized and the divers worked so well together. I would have to say it was one of the best charters I have ever been on in...

If you are looking in Charleston, www.divetechandsports is the local lds for that area. Timmy and Autumn teach the classes. I think Autumn teaches most of the OW classes and Timmy does the technical training. I know there are some independents around maybe they will post and give you some...

Hi Grumpy. I know Beckley pretty well. Welcome to the area. I live ouside of Ripley now, but my hubby graduated from Oak Hill, and we spend quite a lot of time in Fayette County. We dive Summersville and Sutton Lakes pretty regularly. Welcome to WV and congratulations on jumping back...

Well, I look at it a little differently then than Dadvocate. I wear tags because I do a lot of things that other people might consider dangerous and when I am doing those things I am usually not wearing any other form of ID. In my regular everyday clothing I usually have a wallet or...

Hey there, I work right across the river in P-burg all day. There are several divers from the Marietta area, who I'm sure, would be happy to have you along. I know most of them go to the Parkersburg Dive shop "Scuba WV" for supplies and air fills and such. I dive a lot in Sutton Lake...

I use polypro long johns and fleece layers. The layers are warm and dry easier than cotton does and have the benefit of being pretty thin so as not to bulk up too much under your dry suit. Some of the army navy surplus stores carry some pretty warm long john stuff.

I have purcahsed full price airline tickets and not been refunded for them, and I bought trip insurance - The reason I couldn't go was not a covered reason, as work related cancellations are not covered in trip insurance.
