Hi, I'm looking for class reports to reprint on the new NEUE website. If you took a class or classes with Bob Sherwood or Ed Hayes and wrote a report, could you please post a link here? It will save me oodles of searching time, and I'll be eternally grateful! :D Also, if you are part of NEUE...

Add Helium has a good deal on some Fourth Element undergarment sets--Arctic (3 piece) and Xerotherm (4 piece). They are "new," as in never been used, but they are five years old. Do you think they would provide the warmth of actual new garments, or do you think they may have compressed and lost...

It's taken me a long time to write up anything about my Fundies class, but with the evaluation dive quickly approaching, I found motivation. Two years ago I met with Bob Sherwood for a day of private training. You can read my report here. Two years later I'm getting ready for my Fundies...

Hi, everyone! :) Some background first: In the fall of 2011 I had a day of private training with Bob Sherwood, and it was fantastic. I wrote about it here: My official introduction to GUE - Long Report with Mind-Numbing Detail. Everything I learned during that day made sense and appealed to...

I'm trying to unpair a transmitter so that I can pair it with a different transmitter. The manual says that I can unpair the transmitter and computer using SmartTrak, but I don't see anywhere in SmartTrak to do it.

I've run out of bump gas for my Analox CO analyzer. Is there anywhere in Miami Beach or nearby to buy some?

I completed my solo class a week ago, and one of the equipment requirements was a bag with 50 pounds of lift. I've always used a smallish SMB, mainly when hanging at 15 feet for a safety stop in Cozumel. I understand that I need to be properly equipped in case of, for instance, losing the upline...

First I just have to say . . . Wow, what an incredible experience! I'm processing a lot of new information, but I wanted to write up a report while it's still fairly fresh in my mind. I started diving actively in August 2009 and have been diving year round since then. I heard about DIR and GUE...

I'm taking a Primer class next week and need to replace my notebook that is floating around the lake somewhere. Are other brands besides Wet Notes okay, such as Rite in the Rain? I know I can order Rite in the Rain from LeisurePro and get it before class, but I'm not sure I can get a Wet Notes...

I have a netbook that I only use for testing client websites and running SmartTrak, so I'm a little ignorant of all things Windows. Is there any way to change the dive number in SmartTrak?

I'm scheduled for a routine colonoscopy on Monday. Is it safe to make two shallow (less than 20 feet) dives on Saturday? Starting Sunday AM I can only have clear liquids, and the prep will start at 4 PM. Lisa

I'm looking for a dive buddy for Natural Springs for Wednesday afternoon and/or Thursday morning. Lisa

Around the 27th of May I'll be driving from my home in Syracuse to visit family just north of Cairo, IL (yes, poor, flooded Cairo), and returning the first week of June. I'd like to dive at any interesting sites along the way, and I'm looking for recommendations. I'm planning on taking 3 or 4...

After diving for over a year with a Mares Puck, I decided to purchase a Puck Air. I bought a brand new Mares Puck Air with compass (unopened box) on eBay. The computer works fine, and I'm very happy with it. However, the compass doesn't work. No matter how level I make it or try to gently coax...

Warning: Many mentions of seasickness! Arrived MIA and took the Super Shuttle to the condo (Miami Beach). Had about a half hour wait and then about an hour until drop off. I was the last one to get dropped off. The next day I picked up the car at Budget, very close to the condo, and I got a...

After two trips to Cozumel and lots of local diving, I've finally come to understand that my very favorite kind of diving is relatively shallow, with little current, where there is abundant animal life. I like to be able to just stay in one place and watch the fish or other creatures. I love the...
