I would vote for St. kitts also. i dove with Prodiversstkitts. The owner's name was Ashton. I dove there in December of 2010. We dove a no-name reef that he dives alot but nobody else does. the reef was a bit deep (for some), but was in pristine condition. The visibility was excellent...

The ideal gas law is simply PV=nRT; Therefore, if comparing two volumes you have (P1V1)/T1 = P2V2/T2 If the temperature is constant, then you can see the relationship is inversely proportional. If you assume that you are outside of ideal gas laws things change a bit, but it is generally...

I know I wouldn't be comfortable without a hood and gloves. The water at Bonne Terre is 58°F. During the treasure hunt dives, many of us found that you can pick up chips alot faster without gloves. Some people would only wear one glove and pick up chips with the un-gloved hand. The...

I posted this in another thread but ... My wife and I decided to spend our 17th wedding aniversary doing the Treasure Hunt dives at the mine. The event was outstanding. Considering the 120+ divers, the staff and volunteers did an exceptional job keeping the event moving along and at the end...

My wife and I decided to spend our 17th wedding aniversary doing the Treasure Hunt dives at the mine. The event was outstanding. Considering the 120+ divers, the staff and volunteers did an exceptional job keeping the event moving along and at the end of the day, I believe the event was still...

I have only had a Shearwater predator for a couple months and have not used it much. However, it is a great computer. You only "need" to use the bluetooth to either a) download software updates or b) download your dives. The times I have used the bluetooth, it worked flawlessly on the first...

I haven't been cave diving long, but I can partially see the argument for spinning or not. I think it depends alot on the comfort of the student. If the student remains calms and simply follows the procedures regardless of the failures thrown at him/her, then spinning really doesn't do...

I dove with Blue Island divers (St. Thomas) in November of 2009. They were great and friendly. I would definitely recommend them again and may see them again in December of this year. I too was on a cruise and the walk to the dive shop is a bit cumbersome (about 2 blocks) and we brought all...

My wife had c5 and C6 and C7 fused in 1998 or 1999 (can't remember). We didn't start diving until 2004, but she hasn't had any issues yet. Just follow the doc's directions to the letter and you shouldn't have any problems. I think about 6 months after the surgery, she was released to do any...

The map I have of dogwood shows that it only penetrates 160 ft with 7 identified restrictions with a note on the map that say "Advanced Cave dive with many major restrictions requiring a no-mount configuration". This is beyond what most full cave certified divers would ever attempt.

My wife had C4-C5-C6-C7 cervical fusion due to numbness in her left arm. It took a while to figure out exactly what the issue was. As soon as she was out of surgery, the doc said he found a piece of disc impinging upon the spinal nerve (she had 3 HNPs [herniated nucleus pulposus]). They only...

Eagle Scout here too. Class of 1989 This was one of my proudest accomplishments (moreso than graduating college or grad school).

I use a DS4 on one post and DST on the other post of my doubles. It makes the hose routing nice and clean. I really didn't plan it that way. When I bought my ATX50, I assumed it came with a DS4, but it didn't. So that is why I have a mismatch. I haven't had any issues yet with the turret.

In general it depends on the the type of suit, the undergarmets, and your dive kit. I have a trilam drysuit and wear farily thick undergarmets (for around here), but I dive doubles. With doubles I don't need any weight. With a single tank and no undergarmets (or very thin), I can get away...

I have a two HOG wings (single and doubles wing) and they work very well. I also have two HOG spgs that have worked well so far. I would recommend them (for all my recomendation is worth). They are definitely a great value. I have heard that there customer service is very good too. Greg

Well there are a number of shops in Atlanta. I personnaly use Diver's Supply (Marietta), there is also another one in Doraville. In addition, in no particular order: Gerrards underwater The Diveshop Dive Dive Dive There are several on the other side of town and further south that I...

Southern Swim and Scuba is in Cartersville. The only problem I have ever seen is that their hours are variable. They do however have air fills and can do Tri-mix fills. However there are ways of getting in touch with the owners via Atlanta Technical Divers. Mark and Richard Blackburn can...

Karoliakid is correct. Alot of times, the gate isn't actually locked, the lock is just placed so it looks like it is locked. About 6 weeks ago when I was last there, it was $10 to get in. If the "barn" is open, they do have some rental gear, tanks, and you can get air fills. Loch Low is...
