    Would you Encourage or Discourage your Child to Enlist?

    My daughter joined the National Guard at 18 and is serving now. I was in the Marine Corps 1970-1974 and don't regret a minute of it. I believe the service let's you see yourself in a different way and helps you to push yourself a little harder and face challenges in life. I now no how my mother...

    Which Bouyancy device/weight harness

    I use the DUI harness and will never use a weight belt again. I dive with a BPW and also have a more standard BC weight integrated.

    5mm Wetsuits: looking for advice

    I have had a Scubapro 5mm, not the S-Tek, and now use a Henderson hyperstrech. The Henderson is the easiest and most comfortable of the two to use and is warmer than the Scubapro was as well. chuckrt

    Keelhaul, I also recommend going to A-Bay and Kingston area but you might want to get in touch with the Rochester area divers on the board. You are right between both areas but the wreck diving in this area is more towards the ST.Lawerence 1000 Islands area. chukrt
