Finished Dive Rescue International's PSSI course yesterday!!! Holy Moly What a week! Can't recommend the DRI PSSI course enough! By far the best and most challenging dive training I've ever been through...Not for the faint of heart though!!

Dove the ledges on Saturday. It's a bit cold... 61 degree on the surface and 55 degrees at 70' I was fine in a 7/5mm wetsuit with a 7mm hooded vest... feet got a little cold. Viz was spectacular at maybe 30'. I got video with my new GoPro... check it out here- 4 26 2014 Beaver Lake Ledges...

We had our second ever meeting on Saturday April 19th at Buffalo Wild Wings in Fayetteville. I'm very pleased that we are seeing families show up. While we didn't really accomplish much in the way of business we did have an opportunity to get to know each other and share experiences. We will...

I dove one of my favorite lakes last weekend and all week long I've felt like I had water in my ears, my hearing is kind of muffled and my ears pop when I swallow. I was thinking maybe I was getting an ear infection or something so before it got out of control and started hurting I decided to...

This may not be the right forum for this but I'm going to go ahead and post here anyway. Feel free to share this or direct me to post elsewhere. I alway feel like it's important to tell people when a company I do business really does right by me. Scubapro definitly is one of those companies...

Avon and I are heading to Tenkiller this weekend... Anyone have an update on conditions at the scuba park? Cheers! Steve

I'm hearing the North Dam site Park and picnic area where we all shore dive is closed due to the government shut down:depressed:... can anyone confirm? Cheers! Steve

Crazy question but I recently replaced my old mask and got a Scubapro Spectra Mask with tinted mirrored lenses. The mask came with a warning not to clean it with abrasives or use chemicals on it. I assumed that the residual material left on the lens as part of the manufacturing process must be...

Best Diving all season... great viz, beautiful weather... great dive buddies... couldn't ask for much more!

So I'm starting to think that split fins are a controversial topic and I hope I'm not opening a can of worms here...however, My instructor has a pair of twin jets and swears by them. I tried them in the pool and liked them as well and in fact got a bright yellow pair for father's day. When I...

Took this picture on Long Key Ledge off Marathon. Have no idea what they are... any idea? This one of my very first underwater photos so sorry about the image quality. Cheers! Steve

OK so I took my wife on a 20 year belated honeymonn at the begining of July. We stayed at a resort called Hawks Cay in Marathon Fl. This place was absolutely fabulous and the rooms (non Oceanside) were about $230/night... 4 nights was real affordable. THe best part of this place was the dive...

I have to just post how proud I am of my wife and 12 year old son who just passed there confined water checkouts and written exams last week. I thought they were both going to have aneurisms try to do practice problems for planning multiple dives using the tables (I had forgotten how confusing...

man the board has been in hibernation all winter... it's 80 in NWA today and nearly time to get wet!!!

Dove lake Norfork this past weekend. As usual Dan and Denise at Jordan marina were great. The lake is up 17 ft right now so the parking lot is under water making parking a little complicated but nothing that could not be overcome. Viz isn't great and from the surface to about 30 ft it's...

Ok... just got back from the DUI Dog Rally at Beaver lake. THe diving was just off the northern end of the dam and the water was about 58 degrees. The viz was maybe 1 ft near the shore where folks were gearing up (which is to be expected), but once we got out a little way we had viz up to...

My wife is considering getting certified and she asked me a question last night that I didn't know how to answer so I thought I'd post to the board and get some opinions. Here vision is fairly poor and she has to wear contacts. Short of getting a mask with optical inserts can one dive with...

Hi All, My family and I spent a wonderful Labor Day weekend last summer on Norfork lake with the great folks at Jordan Marina. The Viz was pretty good below the thermocline as I recall, however I have heard it's great in the spring and early summer.... Family is thinking about spending...

Whenever I dive Beaver Lake I always go to the North Dam site because I don't have a boat and it's the only shore dive site that I know of. The guys at the LDS said that there were some other places for shore diving at Beaver but that most people keep them a secret so.....anyone care to share...

Don't know about all of you but I have not been in the water since October (Beaver Lake) and I am about ready for things to warm up! I actually had a dream about diving last night. :blinking: Cheers! Steve
