I was on Break.com and they had this picture of an awesome wreck and a free diver. Can anyone identify the wreck and where it is? Looks like it be an amazing wreck to dive.

So I have been diving for around 3 years now. I am an AOW diver with Nitrox. However I am also an asthmatic. I have had no issue with asthma ever on or near a dive. I always make sure that if there is any potential thread to have a flair up before or during a dive I cancel the dive. Now my...

So I bought a Suunto Cobra 3 a few months ago, absolutely love this computer. Well I am updating my paper dive logs and am not sure what is the best way to approach this. On some of my dives (just the ocean dives) my depth is consistant for the most part of the entire dive as the ocean...

So I've been diving for about 2 years now. Have a good hand full of dives under my belt and this past weekend took my Advanced Open Water cert with Enriched air. Now I've acquired a good deal of gear both new and used and finally have enough besides wet suits that I am satisfied. However the...

So I'm a college student who is looking to get my feet wet in water clearer than Myrtle Beach, SC has. I'm getting my Advanced certification in the next 3 weeks and can't wait to see some new stuff. With that said me and the girlfriend recently broke up and with 2 jobs I have a good amount...

So I'll be going for my Advanced Certification in the next 3 weeks or so :D However the nature of the depths does have me on the cautious side of things. I have been considering buying a pony bottle. I've seen quite a few people with them and just to know if something were to happen to my...

So I've been diving for 2 years, not a lot under my belt but looking to do some local stuff. I have wanted to get to Dutch Springs but work last summer made that impossible. Looking for someone (or a small group) who I would be able to go with mostly on weekends throughout the summer. I...

So spring is finally here (for those of us in the north east it stil feels like winter :shakehead:) and I wanted to hear what people are doing to physically get ready for the "prime" dive months. I'm 21, in great shape (well some christmas cookie fat still) and have started to run 1 mile at...

So I just started my major as an Automated Machining Engineer. I am only working on the Vertical mill and in a few weeks the lathe (Eventually CNC and several other devices). So I was curious what I could make for scuba diving. Of course nothing like a regulator, first stage, etc. Just some...

I hear over and over again how great a bp/w is. Then I also hear how they tend to push you forward when on the surface. I am a new diver with a limited budget and in many senses a bp/w seems to be a good fit for me. My LDS has a "Technical" bp/w used for $300, I tried it on and it's a great...

So to set the picture: - 20 years old - 6' ,165 lbs, 32" waist - New to scuba - Tight budget, in college - Most of my gear is used To date I have been on about 7 dives, I already own mask, fins, snorkel, free tanks (being hydro/vis inspected right now), and a regulator/computer system. The...

So I see time and time again in the "Accidents and Incidents" folder of divers passing away while on solo dives. Now I have seen divers at various shallow dive spots (rivers, small ponds, etc) diving solo in water no deeper than 20'. Is there a lot of inherent risk at these depths if your alone...

So I saw an awesome video or two of some guys freediving. Looked pretty cool, then I saw all the blackouts, Samba, etc and don't understand why? Like, a lot of what you guys do seems to be stuff that can be achieved with a tank and a regulator, why take the risk? Or is that just it, to take that...

So for anyone that is an avid outdoorsman as myself maybe familiar with Geocaching. For those who do not know what it is: Geo-caching is where small treasures are hidden throughout the country, you go onto one of many sites and type in a location where you will be hiking, biking, walking, etc...

So I am fairly new to diving, been certified through PADI for over a year, and been on around 7 dives from the Susquehanna to the Atlantic ocean. To date the equipment I have is: - Generic Fins - Cheap Titos Mask - Used Sherwood First Stage - Used Magnum Second Stage - Used Suunto Dive...

I am a novice diver. I have been on all of 7 dives, from the Susquehanna River to the Atlantic ocean. I already have a regulator/octopus/computer, as well as 2 tanks (For free :D) I have yet to get hydroed/visually inspected. My next step is a BCD. I am looking for: - One with a reasonable...

So I am fairly new to Scuba, I was certified a year ago through PADI and have been on all of 7 dives. Today my dad picked up 2 tanks FOR FREE :D from one of his co workers. Now they haven't been used in ages and I know I am going to take them in for a full inspection and repair, if they can...

So I often run into the problem I'm sure we all get and that is dry mouth. I often have wondered the implement of an underwater water bottle. Now last year I took Hydrology and Fluid Mechanics in college so the concept of pressure is not new to me. I was wondering if anyone had created a...

So all my life I have had asthma. Mild but not severe. Before I took my training I had to get the waver to clear all medical issues and my parents above all were worried about the effects of being 40+ feet underwater breathing from a pressurized dry air tank. To date I have been on 7 dives and...

Hey all, I am new to the site but not new to scuba. I am mostly looking right now to see if my scuba tanks will be good to use (got them FOR FREE :D) and need to make 5 posts before I can attach links :(.
