    Stump house tunnel Walhalla SC

    Stump house tunnel has three entrances. The main one everyone uses, a second entrance that is gated off entirely, and then a third one that the entrance is flooded. Is that the one you're referring to as the saddle tunnel? I've been in the main tunnel more times than I can count, and to the...

    Lake Jocassee update

    No, you would have to have a lake map or the lake would have to be down a good bit. There was a shoal marker on it at one time but it sank and it's on the bottom now.

    Lake Jocassee update

    Jellyfish Hill is a hump on Jocassee that comes up to about 20' at the top. On the north side of the hump is a bunch of trees that they bulldozed over before filling the lake. It also allows you to swim in standing timber at around 70'. There is a big ski boat sank on the east side, and tons of...

    Lake Jocassee update

    I have a friend that runs charters that I'll probably see on Sunday and I can ask if she'll go there. I could take you sometime in my personal boat but I'd prefer to have a boat sitter with us. If the anchor pulls out while down it's a long swim!!

    Stages and deco bottles

    I have the modified SMS100 and have not been satisfied with carrying deco and stage bottles. I use HP130'S as main tanks and Al 80's as stages and deco bottles. I had been front slinging them and it was just too sloppy. On my last dive I took one Al 80 and went behind the main tank on my right...

    Sidemount HP120s?

    I'm 6'2" 225 lbs and love my Worthington HP130's. I have also dove Worthington HP100's but found I prefer the 130's

    Lake Jocassee update

    We dove the graveyard Sunday to clean up and repair some lines. It was a good bit cooler at 47 degrees. Dive was 64 minutes with a max depth of 137'. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

    Key Largo Tech Diving

    I haven't seen a response to any similar threads in about a year l, so I figured I'd ask a common question. Any suggestions on dive ops in Key Largo that cater more to the tech side of things? I will be going down at the beginning of May and have 3 days available for diving. I really want to do...

    Gas planning question

    The reason I asked is I have never heard of any explicit difference in gas planning for independent doubles versus manifold and rather than ask my one instructor(which I have) I thought I would ask the masses. I did not ask about how to dive thirds in sidemount. If my original post hinted at any...

    Gas planning question

    Ok let me ask a slightly different question. If you were doing the exact same dive 2 days in a row, one day with independent doubles and the other with a manifold, do you use the same run time or carry more reserve if everything else was identical? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

    Gas planning question

    I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. We were doing dives in a reservoir with direct access to the surface at any point during the dive (barring deco of course). Say the dive required 80ft3 of gas in the lost gas scenario. We figured the dive was doable because with the reserve factor of...

    Gas planning question

    When I took AN/DP, I used a HP130 with H-valve and my instructor used AL80 doubles. When planning dives with V-planner, we would look at the gas needed for the dive based off my consumption rate, multiply it times 1.5 and make sure it was less than 130 cu.ft in order to do it. I am now moving to...

    Oh wow! I thought the second video looked familiar. Took me a minute to realize I filmed it earlier this year!! Haha. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

    Couple of sidemount questions

    My current certification is Advanced Nitrox/Deco Procedures and I'm looking at taking the two trimix's next year. My goal is to make a dive late next year to a site in open water in about 300 feet. My current setup is a Knighthawk bcd and I own two Hp 130's and one has an H-valve. I also own a...

    I simply use the supplied headband and wear a hood over it. Turn it on before you jump in and forget about it!! Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk
