Definitely go with what herman said. As an experienced NC diver, I can tell you that it is not like any resort dives. Herman brought up a good point with the DM, and actually I was hired 2 weekends ago to DM for a family from Virgina on the Indra and Hutton. The inshore dives are good places...

DevonDiver, your respect is noted, and yes definitely see a SCUBA Specialist Doctor.

Mizzie, I would say that you should be fine. Even if the Doc does want to go into detail due to the ear surgery, I don't think that it should be a problem, but then again I am no doctor. Seeing as in how you were planning on visiting a doctor on the matter, go ahead with no worries. To my...

Like Walter said, use Benedryl or any steroid cream (Hydrocortizone). If it gets worse your doctor can prescribe you a steroid cream that is slightly stronger than hydrocortizone called Fluticasone proprionate. Also try using a wet wash clothe with hot water, (just hot enough that it doesn't...

Yeah, I hate spell check. It put that there instead of assistant, guess i misspelled it the first time and now I can not change for there is no edit link on that post. Oh, well. How is your training going. My books come in last night so hopefully I can finish before my surgery at the end of...

You don't need to buy a specific brand as long as they will mount to your fin and fit. I have a set of Promate springs on my Sherwood Trek fins and they work great. I would recommend painting the silver buckle though if you dive in the ocean because it tends to have barracuda attracted to your...

Never been to the artificial reefs out there. I always go to the Megalodon ledge reefs, but you can find out more information about the reefs there on the NC Fisheries site NCDMF Artificial Reefs. When I go down there with my parents dive shop (Aquatic Pleasures Dive Center - Kings Mountain...

Congratulations. Seems like you are enjoying it much more now and have been extremely prosperous in diving this first year. Keep it up and have fun.:D

PfcAJ is correct. As a given rule, you should know your tables before attempting to use a computer. When diving a computer, if it fails underwater, you will need to know you tables to complete the dive and return to surface safely. It does save money only running tables, but is convenient to...

Sry, I ain't much help with the compensator since I have being using a Zeagle Ranger for the past few years and just recently got into liking the BP/W from Hollis. As for you question on computers, if you have got the money I would say get a Cochran EMC-20H. It can be configured to start only...

Thanks Stacy. I see that you are also in the Central NC area. Maybe I will run into you at the PDRA Quarry sometime. Just look for the Big Grey Dodge Ram with Aquatic Pleasures down the side.

I am an experienced diver but am new to the forum. I have a SSI Master Diver cert and am in training for insistant instructor. I am mainly here to learn from others as well as teach, and to throw the name of my parents dive shop out to others looking for a reasonalbe and friendly shop for gear...
