    Anyone tried CrossFit?

    Been in it for about 5 months now (mostly 3x week). It's addicting. I actually haven't dived since I started and am looking forward to seeing how my gains in the gym will translate to my diving. Interested on anyone's take on that view. The biggest thing is to stick with it. The first...

    Maximus SRB 5600 Purge Cover Fractures

    I know this is an old post - 4 years now - but you can add me to the list of people with the missing piece form the "flexible" cover. My Maximus looks just like the pic of the original poster (WarmWaterDiver) I believe. Since it has been some time - has anyone had luck in getting this faulty...

    Niagara Drift Dives

    Just thought I would chime in... New diver here, dove with both DipNDive on the West side of Grand Island and Discover Diving on the East side - think they tend to stay to these sites (unconfirmed). Now I haven't seen a ton of interesting things underwater yet as I am just getting started but...

    Shootin Squid... I do. If you can wait a week or two - let me get back to you. I am going to visit my LDS in a couple weeks to get my current gear inspected for the year and buy my first tanks. Since I am relatively new to diving I would like to get their opinion on the Dacor 1st and 2nd...

    NAUI SLOGAN - "Just Dive"

    My card definitely does not reflect my experience with the NAUI center. The instructors were great - and the LDS they worked for is fair. The card on the other hand is dripping with stupidity.

    NAUI SLOGAN - "Just Dive"

    So I am newly certified as of this year by a NAUI agency. I got my fancy c-card and the slogan just made me laugh. I guess running a SCUBA certification agency does not require business acumen. The slogan on the front of the 50th anniversary card (2010) says "JUST DIVE" in huge letters...

    Tank Weights Placement

    Thanks everyone! Very helpful. 11x- I don't have any weight pouches under the wing unfortunately - Sherwood Outback BCD. I guess I'll try with the 6lbs on the tank weight belt attached at the top of the tank. mpetryk - Never thought about the weight "pulling" vs "pushing". I think that is...

    Tank Weights Placement

    Have a wing BCD and a tank weight strap. I am looking for advice on the best placement of the 6lbs of tank weight - which I have yet to try out. From reading other posts - I am sure the answer is "it depends" and it can be relocated to adjust trim. I'm a newbie and haven't done enough dives...

    To weight or not to weight

    Ok newbie here - 7 dives in. From my OW cert I was told to do the eye level buoyancy check at the start of a dive (full tank, no air in BC, reg in mouth, hold reg breath) and if the water was eye level I was good. I wore a 7mm jumpsuit, 80AL tank, and had on 20lbs in fresh water (I'm 195lbs)...
