I carry tools to fix about anything but prefer to carry spares of small items like regs hoses mask straps, fin springs etc. on my last boat dive out of orange beach a rental reg malfunctioned for a guy. believe it or not there was nnot a spare on the boat (it was a small group, only 6 of us). I...

All good points. while i dive a Halcyon rig, I think i have an older dive right webb kit with buckles that I may set him up with.If the LDS cannot help me with a back plate for him I will give you a call Tobin. I appreciate your offer to help. I should know more after this weekend.

This weekend I am taking my 10 year old grand son to a LDS for a discovery dive. He loves the water and is very excited. If he does well He will want to get certified so he can dive with me.I am very excited about this myself. my question is:I have nearly always had a backplate and wing and...

I have done recovery dives in low vis rivers and near 0 vis lakes for items but never for a body. For anyone reading this thinking it would be cool its not.it's creepy, dangerous and very difficult. if your not used to low vis or rivers the combination of both can be extremely difficult. Try it...

Nice. I am heading out tomorrow for my first time in Florida. I hope to have as good a dive as you seem to have had.

my wife and I are going to be in the area this coming week and would love to meet someone to show us the local dive sites. It is my first time in the area and can't wait to dive. my wife has not dived in a while so would have to be an easier dive for her but i am up for whatever. we will be...

I amgoing to van cleave ms next week (near ocean springs) and a lds recommended primo charters (primefish.com) to take me out past the barrier islands. just wondering if anyone has heard of or used them. Can you recommend some good local diving? I don't thik my wife is going to dive so I need a...

I dont know about the buoyancy issue but i do know the true reason a fart smells is for the benefit of those that didnt hear it. therefore it seems it it would be wasted in a wet suit but would fulfill its destiny best in a drysuit. Except in the case of the gamble and lose.

Since I just got the set put together I haven't spoke with the instructor yet but will when I see him again. I dropped them at his shop to get filled.

I just traded my set of twin 72's for LP80's . I have been wanting HP100's but they are just not in the budget right now and I just kind of came on this deal. My hope is to use them for ANDP class in the future. They are PST brand. Has anyone out there used a set of these for their class and...

a buddy and I are going to dive northshore lake in finger lake state park just north of columbia this coming weekend. The park office told me they used to have divers come out but haven't in a while. The water looked really good. The office said it was over 30 feet deep but didn't know how much...

I was driving by today and saw a for sale sign on the old quarry property. If anyone has an extra $590,000.00 laying around they could buy it and reopen a local dive spot. Bredina springs is cutting back and oronogo is closed. we are running out of local places to dive. If anyone knows of others...

Yea, why count poolwater as a dive. No one has ever drowned in a pool. I'm sure no one has ever stressed out in a pool and needed to be rescued in a pool.... have they? I never could figure out why pools pay lifeguards to just sit in the sun all summer. Seriously, I have dove with insta buddies...

This may be a silly question but... I am trying to prepare for my ANDP class and may have to take it in cold water which means I will need to wear my drysuit. At the current time it does not have a pee valve installed so I am considering getting one. My question is how does one urinate while...

Thanks for all the response.To date I have not decided which agency to take the class with .I have read both the TDI and Padi books to see what each course consisted of. In addition I have talked to the PADI instructor who told me he requires two reels for his class to shoot bags from 150 feet...

I have practiced using a smb with a finger reel and it is not difficult. I have recently tried using a small cave type reel in preparation for my ANDP class and find it to be a whole different situation. I am not sure how to hold it and almost got tangled trying to exhaust air into my smb ( as...

I had a similar situation 2 weeks ago. A buddy and I drove a couple hours to get to a quarry. It had recently rained and vis was not good to start with. We wanted to go to 80 feet to see a tractor trailer. At 77 feet vis suddenly went to about 1 inch. the only way I knew I was at the truck was I...

60 bucks huh? I was told today they were 90 bucks each which makes them twice as expensive as the Padi book.

Please correct me if I am wrong ( as if someone wouldn't). PADI's tech deep diver is comparable to TDI's ANDP classes. I have read the PADI book and want to read the TDI books (there are two of them) and cost twice as much as the PADI book so I am reluctant to buy them. Padi certifies to 165...

I heard from a friend there used to be a quarry open to diving near the town of blackwater near booneville mo. Does anyone know what happened to it or has ever heard of it?
