Maybe panic was too harsh wording on my part. She signalled she was unconfortable wanting to go up. I reached up for her hand to comfort and pulled her down to where I was so she would not bolt. The DM was right there to get the situation back to a relaxed state. Your point is well taken as...

Dave - thank you for sharing. It is nice to see the guideline for your DMs and I can personally confirm this is what was practiced on our recent Coz trip. We dove all week with Julio (one night dive with Pepe) and during this week, the currents were crazy. Our safety was the utmost importance...

We had a wonderful time in Cozumel this past week. 11 dives hitting almost 700 minutes of bottom time in some challenging currents. Thanks Mayor and the great staff at Aldora for improving my skills. Our prayers are with the family and friends of the lost diver.

CV - Only the weary sleep ;-) Although Mayor's and my wife could put anyone to sleep using the notorious MJ drug, my goal in visiting Coz is to drink the Koolaid and notch my first drift diving experience. Looking forward to getting wet and being warm!

If you haven't sold this, I think this would be good for my newbie OW diver. Can I pick up in Allentown over xmas?

What I love most is that we all have different desires and opinions. Well, my opinion is that forums needs to provide the reader information or advice about different dive ops, dive sites and other divers experiences: Good, Bad or Indifferent. This is what I need as educational information on a...

Rlynch - I am also in Apex and just moved over the summer from Allentown area. With the kid's soccer, I haven't had time to think much about diving but would certainly like to get wet before it gets too cold. I have two HP 100s so just need to find the LDS to top them off. Steve

I agree that optimal aperture for sharpness varies from lens to lens. Most lens are sharpest a few stops above wide open. The issue then becomes depth of field, so optimal for a large depth of field might be F8-f13 but you will sacrafice end-to-end sharpness. F4 on this 50mm is the best for...

Hi SD, how old is the watch and do you have any pics? PD

Reposted in this thread as request by Idocsteve -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My wife has horrible eyesight and with her normal contacts, she can not see the computer or compass. I have researched the possibility to have prescription lenses...

Thanks all - The general sentiment of being happy is what I have also gathered from researching the forums. I just wanted some confirmation on this specific point since I was surprised that the doc made the recommendation for the progressive contacts. PD

My wife has horrible eyesight and with her normal contacts, she can not see the computer or compass. I have researched the possibility to have prescription lenses with bifocals and this is one option. Before going this route, she had an eye exam to make sure the prescription was still...

Greetings and welcome to the board. So you decided to make your AOW cert in a warm place versus home? Smart guy as I did my OW cert in the Carribean last year ;) My wife and I will visiting Dublin week of 21-June this year to enjoy lots of daylight and pub inhabiting! PD

Well - itching to get back in the water with no real diving planned in the next months, I researched the Disney Epcot Dive Quest since I was attending a conference in Orlando. Searching this forum, there are not many posts about this excursion so I decided to give my positive experience. The...

Thanks for the clarification. Sounds like my body needs to go back to Nikon! :depressed:

Hey Mariozi, When you state software correction, are you refering to the internal AF fine tuning menu or a firmware update/calibration? I also had some issues when I first got my D300. Below link is a good procedure on how to fine tune all of your lenses and the D300 will save the settings...

Below is the dive report and a follow up to the following post. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/deep-dixie-divers/290286-myrtle-beach-novice-divers-need-advice.html Well - fresh from the dive today and we had a really good time. Express Watersports (Scuba Express) can be recommended. The...

Rand and Backscatter - Thanks for your comments and recommendation. Will definitely check out Scuba Express and good to know that City of Richmond is a good site. Mayor - I like with your recommendation to see if a DM or instructor can make this dive and will check this out with the ops...

It is a little over 1 week until my departure for MB. Would really appreciate some input before I make the arrangements. Thanks!

Hello SC Divers, My wife and I recently obtained OW certification and will be in Myrtle Beach in July. I have read many of the MB posts in this forum and have concluded there are two recommended dive shops. coastalscuba.com and expresswatersports.com Only having 8 dives under our belts...
