    NC Fatality?

    We did this in the pool as part of open water class. The instructor would close the valve down just till you could feel the difference in effort to breathe then open it back up.

    OW/AOW destination recommendation: Aruba /Punta Cana /Cancun/Montego Bay

    I love Aruba. I have had great dives there with both Aqua Windies (near the hospital) and JADS (down by Baby Beach). Aruba diving is not world class but it is more than fine for beginners (and really anyone). I agree about getting the training done at home, who wants to sit in a classroom on...

    Heard lots of talk about the dimentions of the passage openings and it has been mentioned that the water is not very deep but how long are underwater sections?

    At the 2:00 minute mark I see you do not have the certified DIR Artifact Extractor tool with the black handle. ;) I thought the video was kinda cool, thanks

    I wish... for a Red Filter + Macro Filter combination!

    a light would obviate the need for the red filter. What lights are people using for sport HDs? Maybe that should be another thread

    How often do we say "we need a celebrity" to promote scuba?

    ;) There's plenty of both, of the school yard/locker room variety. What there isn't any of is sex appeal.

    Holding the camera

    I have an extension pole that works nicely. you can stick it under ledges or into crevices or turn it around for selfies. Easy to pass up to the boat as well. It seems like videos taken with mask or BC mounts lead to vertigo in the viewer :-) The Intova is a great camera for a rec diver.

    Great lesson for Newbies and Veterans alike!

    Don't ever remove a non-working regulator from your mouth until you are ready to replace it with something better. You can't fill a bag from a non-working reg.

    Warm water destinations for checkout dives

    JADS on the south side of the island by Baby Beach is a good outfit for new divers. They are kind of far from the big hotels but will pick you up, as will most of the dive ops. I also went out with Aqua Windies and they were great. Centrally located near the hospital I recommend them. I...

    Sport HD II o-ring

    The external filter. I have not bothered yet with the electronic one. Very cool video. I agree, it does do very well on the surface. The zoom works nicely too.

    Diving for Scallops

    The Outlaw was a great boat. One of my best dives was spent gathering oysters off of the Outlaw. I know Bob had some health issues, any news of him?
