We are heading down to Florida for a week and will be going down to the Keys. We are looking at diving around Key West but have no idea what charter to go with and what sites to see. OW and AOW divers. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Just wondering if you DIR divers always or never dive double tanks. Do you always dive doubles, no matter what dive you do (180ft technical wreck or 30ft reef)...Do you only dive singles (you`are DIR but don't need the extra tank) or does it depend on the dive...

I've been out of it for a little while and my search has turned up nothing. Has PADI changed it's rescue course...if so, what are the changes... (please tell me they've made it a little tougher and rewarding to earn the cert!!). Thanks

Hi there, Just wondering if any (human or animal) research has surfaced reguarding the "physiology of an underwater MI"? We tend to see many reports of dive fatalities relating to MIs and I've always assumed that the pathology of an MI underwater is the same as that of one occuring at the...

Scuba diver dies on the Lillie in the Ottawa Citizen this morning. Very Sad.

All right...so I'm kind of dissapointed with my diving season (only got about 10 dives in this year :banghead: ). I'm hoping to become more active in the coming years. I'l be doing most of my dives in the St-Lawrence/Lake Ontario area, Would you recommend getting a drysuit :06: If so any...

Anyone know the temp at Morrison Quarry?...St-Lawrence? Thanks

A little humour and information for those who don't know the truth about Canadian divers :eyebrow: "I am Canadian" advertisment à la Scuba Diver I am not a seal or a beluga And I don’t stay in a resort or play with dolphins or watch the sunset And I haven’t seen Mike the Muskie or...

Just curious as to what depth is in you comfort zone. Some people prefer shallow depths, while others much prefer going deep. By comfort zone, I mean at what depth do you enjoy diving the most (yes I know, diving is fun at any depth and depends on the dive objective so please don't give me hard...

Has anyone been in or taught a DIR-F class where one of the divers was extremely "weak" (ie. they were poorly taught during OW and they probably had very few dives under their belt)? I'm just wondering what the learning curve was for these folks taking a DIR-F course. Did they finish the class...

Ok...since some of you enjoyed the last one, here's a new one. You've decided take a trip to the Caribbean for a 1 week dive retreat. You've decided to go to one of the remote dive destinations to "get away from it all" and you hate those crouded resorts! Before leaving for your trip, you've...

Ok folks...here's a diving first aid scenario for ya... You're out doing a nice easy shore dive with your buddy. It's gonna be a wreck dive (no penetration) at a site that you're both familiar with. It's a bit out of the way (it took you 2 hours to get there by car). There's nothing around the...

I'm organizing a road trip from Ottawa to BC (not quite sure where, depens on the info you provide:)) this summer (i'll be there in July) and I have a few questions about the diving. What are the "must dives"? What temps can I expect? Will I be prepared for the dive conditions (I dive mostly the...

Hey folks, My goal truly isn't to start a rumor, just to get the facts. I was gonna bring my Aqualung Regs to be serviced at Adventures-in-Diving in Ottawa about a month ago but the shop was closed (this was during their open hours). I verified their web site to double check their hours of...

Hello all, Well I've had my Oly 4000/pt 010 since October but havn't had the chance to go diving yet. However, I did manage to take some pics in the pool. Could someone please tell me how I can reduce the aquablue and glare that are on all of my pictures using photoshop...your imput is much...

I was just wondering if any of you amature photographers have ever sold or published (on paper; ie. local newspaper) your pictures (underwater or other). How did you go about it? Did it happen just once? Would you do it again or do you prefer keeping your pictures for yourself.

Here's a link to a very informative (and free!) video on barotrauma (pressure related ear injuy). The speaker is Dr. Edmond Kay, a GP and dive doc in Seattle. This link may have already been posted, not sure... http://www.uwtv.org/programs/displayevent.asp?rid=789
