    Confess your SCUBA sins

    It's nice to see this thread. It gives some human element to some of the more advanced or exprienced posters here. (Even moderators and instructors!) Having been on this board a few months I have noticed there sure is a lot of 'holier than thou' divers ..Scuba snobbery? Ask a question about...

    Is this a good deal to buy used for 800 to 1000?

    I have thought this over and if you get a used reg for 200 to 300 AND you put a 100 in servicing it, you are REAL close to a new price with a warranty and knowing what you get. The marketing approach used by the manufacturers is very clever, buy new, get warranty, free parts, know what you are...

    Muscle Groups / Exercices for Scuba?

    Good Stuff! I think almost every muscle group DOES come into play. Somebody mentioned ankles and calves - I do toe raises on steps with 50 to 100 lb dumbells. They work your calves and ankles pretty well ....also jumping rope would be good.

    I appreciate your thoughts. I have been taking pictures for many years, so I am not totally unfamiliar with composition and lighting above the surface.

    I dove spanish anchor as well, out of Sandals at Mo Bay. I did 5 dives there and enjoyed them, We loved Sandals and I got my OW cert there. I don't have much to compare it to though. I though the dive program at sandals was very good, my instructor was a great guy.
