TechSmith makes a pretty robust editor for Windows. It is a little on the pricey side, but should handle almost any editing job that you have. The editor software is named Camtasia Studio.

Whites has some interesting dry suits with what appears to be a lycra outer shell. Helps to keep the drysuit compact. Prices start at $999 with a $200 rebate if you surrender your wetsuit when you buy the drysuit. Actually, it can be anyone's wetsuit. Condition is not important. DUI is...

Nope, not insane. I started diving at 59. The only issue, the regret that I had not started sooner.

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, based on the current weather patterns, diving will start late in Michigan. That will give you a lot of time to complete your refresher. If the ice hasn't melted by May, I might have to head to Florida.

Make an appointment with an allergist. If you are suffering from allergies, there may be shots to desensitize or new medications that my help you to control your symptoms. I use a combination of prescription and over the counter medications to control my symptoms.

I use MacDive. I have found it easy to use and stable. They are very responsive to feature requests or issues. The only issue that I have is remembering to put my dive computer into the proper mode to talk with the computer. For the price, it is an excellent value.

Welcome to the forum. You are correct the economy has been tough on a lot of the dive shops in this area. Sub-Aquatic Sports and Service is an excellent dive shop. If you take classes, the certification will be NAUI. If you want PADI certification then Divers Mast in Jackson or Captial City...

NAUI requires three dives (nav, deep dive, night/low viz) and three elective dives. The elective dives allow adaptations for local environments (altitude, surf,etc.).

Congratulations. I was one of those students who took longer than most to learn some of the skills. I spent at least 5 hours a week in a pool in addition to my OW class time. I practiced the skills over and over again until it became second nature. At the end, I was a much better diver...

Google prescription dive masks. You will find a number of companies such as Welcome to Prescription Dive Masks 1-800-538-2878. or SeaVisionUSA . Try searching through some of the SB posts, I think there have been discussions about prescription lenses over the years and recommendations on...

Unfortunately no matter how much equipment you have, you always need more. I have a stressful job and don't smile much, until I am diving, then I can't stop smiling. Welcome to one of the best recreational sports.

I have had back issues for about 4 years. Tried a lot of different stretches, exercises, yoga, etc. I have arthritis, and some compression around L4/L5. After trying pain relievers, etc., I decided to try physical therapy. After three months of PT the problem started to improve. Not perfect...

My best dive buddy is my son! I understand your ecstasy. There is no such thing as a bad dive, especially when you are diving with one of your kids! Congratulations!

It looks like it is a PST Steel 100 which should have a buoyancy of -1.3 empty and -8.8 lbs. when full.

Typically I pay about $120 for a 1st, and two 2nd stages. Includes parts and labor.

Local news reports a 29 year old diver was trapped by currents while diving with 2 other divers.Grand Rapids | WOODTV.com moderator please delete or merge with other posts on this topic.

The official explanation cited lack of fuel. By dropping the bombs they used less fuel returning to their ship. The bombing range was not available to drop the bombs on.

Another trick to help you get into a 7mm suit.......Put a plastic bag over your foot or hand before inserting into the wetsuit. You are correct, the hotter, sweatier you are, the more difficult it is to get into the wetsuit.

Michigan is famous for having multiple lakes with the same name. I think the Silver Lake in question is just north of Gaylord, MI.

Parts/labor equals about $120 for first stage, primary and octopus for a rebuild. Year two is more of an inspection,adjust and costs $15-$25. Obviously my LDS is quite reasonable.
