    Dive UT Blue Lake trip

    Anyone going to the May 14th Blue Lake trip? I'm planning on going, maybe go friday night and have a little bit of gambling fun in Wendover and then head on out there the next morning. They are doing a Dry Suit clinic but I'll be out there just for fun.

    Sandhollow in early April

    Anyone know what the temps would run this early? I want to go down and while the surface temps are nice at around 80 that time of the year, I'm not too sure about the water near the bottom. It was around 60*'s in the middle of august last year so... This lake doesn't freeze over so I'm not...

    Sand Hollow sept 25th

    Anyone going to the big dive/clean up/treasure hunt/BBQ on the 25th? I know Dive UT is doing some giveaways and I think a couple of other dive shops will be down there as well. Let me know if you're going down, would be cool to meet some people from the board and maybe do a group dive.

    AOW "Specialties"

    Just wondering which of the specialties offered people thought are of most use. I'm thinking night, wreck, and search and rescue would be the most beneficial in an educational aspect. I'm in UT so every dive is an altitude dive, don't see a need to further learn what I already understand. The...

    july 4th recommendations?

    Thinking about diving either Bear Lake or Sand Hollow over the 4th of July holiday. Anyone have a better suggestion? Will Bear Lake still be too cold to dive in a shorty? I'm up for traveling a bit farther if its worth the drive, but both lakes have a scuba park and nice camping area's...

    Blue Lake

    Dove blue lake this weekend, arrived around 11:30am and the few who were there were finishing up and leaving. Temps were great, a sunny 80-85* dried us out rather quickly and an 82* water temp made it comfortable to go sans wet suit. Visibility was great (12-15ft-ish)and with hardly anyone there...

    Narcosis with Altitude dives?

    Just wondering if you can get nitrogen narcosis at a shallower (actual) depth if it is at altitude. I know you have to do conversions for DCS but is that all its for, does a diver who is going to say a 70ft depth at 7000ft have to worry about nitrogen narcosis?

    Worth it or just a $$ making scheme

    Is AOW worth the time? This question is for people who have gone through the class, if you knew then what you know now about the class, would you bother? I would like to go through it, but I only want to if I am going to learn something that will make me a better/safer diver. If its worth...

    Spare Air

    Okay, I understand the general consensus is that Spare air is a waste of time and more of a danger than a safety net. I would like to know why you feel this way, reviews of the product on other third party sites give it glowing positive reviews. How many of you who hate this product actually...

    Best Books for Newbies

    Just looking for good suplemental informative books for newbies. I bought "Dive like a pro, 101 ways to improve your scuba skills", it kinda blew. Nothing in it which was not covered in my OW class. Also bought "Solo Diving, the art of underwater self sufficiency" it seems to be better so far, I...
