    How to get warm in 57-degree Fahrenheit water

    My first OW cert dive I borrowed a 7mil that my dive teacher had, and was freezing. I put another over that the next day and was still cold, mostly because they were too loose. The fit really makes a difference. Then I bought mine, ( Buy XS Scuba pyrostretch 2 piece combo MS750PS-MD with reviews...

    Should I wait on buying an underwater camera until I have more dive experience ?

    I agree with everyone else, it is more important to pay attention to buoyancy and everything else going on during your dive. With that being said, look into a go pro or similar headcam!

Still planning to dive Clark Canyon in the...

    United States "drowned towns"

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing, does anybody know how well brick structures hold up in a lake with no current? The lake in Montana, Clark Canyon Reservoir, has Armstead under it (lewis-clark.org/content/content-article.asp?ArticleID=1946), and I have seen pictures from 1970 of a two story...

    United States "drowned towns"

    thanks for the heads up, I looked online and heard the same thing. I am actually staying in North Bend for an internship this summer in Seattle, so I will have to do some diving around!

    United States "drowned towns"

    I found this somewhere online and found it very interesting; I will be checking out Rattlesnake lake in WA, and hopefully Clark canyon reservoir in MT this summer. I did a quick search here and did not see it posted, so hopefully I am not re posting an old topic...
