    New Sidemount Diver

    Just finished my sidemount certification yesterday. Had lots of fun and learned tons about different configurations. I think with a little practice, I won't want to dive my single tank anymore. :p

    3/2 Shortie Wetsuit XL

    Asking $25.00 + $3.00 for shipping. Like new. Black and grey. Worn only once in fresh water. The water here never gets warm enough at depth to really use it.

    Compliment

    I imagine you don't get compliments posted about your products often, so after a great dive today I thought I'd contribute one. We did our New Years dive today and while other regulators froze up and began to free flow (39 degree water) my M17/A700 performed beautifully. It felt no different...

    Some Newbie Questions

    So I did my cavern certification. I went into it expecting to get better as a diver since cavern/cave diving requires a lot more skills, attention to detail, etc. But I never really thought of them as something I would have a constant interest in. I know I like wrecks, deep water and so forth...

    Question about flash technique

    I've been practicing quite a bit with my camera. I even have some pictures posted in the gallery here. But I have a frequent problem that I am not sure if it is solved by camera settings, technique, or both and was hoping to get some insight from other photographers. I know the idea is to get as...

    Personal Milestone

    I know it's probably nothing compared to you guys who live on the coast, but I reached my 100th dive for 2012 alone. Thought that was pretty awesome for living in Missouri :)

    Galileo Luna question

    I thought of this while reading another thread elsewhere. PADI recommends that when diving in cold water, you add 10ft to your max depth for calculations. I own a Galileo Luna. When it calculates nitrogen loading and desat time, does it also take this rule into consideration?

    China bans Shark Fin Soup at Banquets/official events

    I know it's not as much as we hope for, however since official events and banquets have some of the greatest demand for shark fin soup, this is a great step in a good direction. China plans banquet ban on shark fin - CNN.com Yay!

    Multi Agency Certification Requirements

    In another thread, someone mentioned it would be nice to have a sticky thread with the certification requirements for all the agencies. I would like to make that list as my donation to scuba board. Hopefully a moderator will see fit to sticky it for me. This is NOT meant to be a debate or flame...

    Nitrox theoretical question

    This came to mind in another thread, and I asked it there, but the thread was dying off anyway, so I only got 1 or 2 responses. Probably good to not hijack that thread anyway. So here goes. Let's say I am diving EAN36 or some mixture close to. I am very close at my max depth for that mix. I...

    Pony Bottle Location Question

    So question for my dive friends. Where do you mount your pony bottle? The reason I ask is I am just starting to dive with one. I want it on the right side of my primary tank. My reasoning for not having it on the back is I am getting into some limited overhead environments. Recreational wreck...

    Here I Come Bahamas

    So I went to our yearly Christmas party that my local LDS owner holds. He did drawings for random prizes, mine being a short sleeve lava core top. I was quite happy, and a free photographer class for submitting to our photo contest. (Didn't win but I made it into the final vote) Then he did a...

    Fin Choice for Wreck Diving

    I am just curious. I currently use the Aeris Velocity fins. I love them, however they are a fairly large fin. I find that when I turn in a smaller environment like a cave, or inside a wreck, I have to be very careful otherwise the tips of my fins will touch something and stir up silt. I am not...

    Rescue Diver Course

    Though I am only half way through (well 2/3rds if you count classroom stuff), I have much respect for anyone who has taken this course. This isn't a walk in the park like the other classes. It definitely has me planning gym pool sessions to get in better shape. We have done quite a bit so...

    Wreck Diving Reel

    I am getting really into wreck diving and I have been reading the forum here for opinions on a good primary reel. The information has been helpful, and so I wanted to start a poll to kinda group the information. What I am asking is, what is your first preference, not including cost, for a reel...

    Birthday Present

    So my birthday is today. I got the usual things. Cards, gift cards, a cd or two, etc. My fiance (who won't go near any water not chlorinated and indoors), got me a new DUI drysuit. Yeah.... he's a keeper :)
