My wife and I used to sometimes stay at Jim Hollis's (sp) which was right on the river. We used to take the kids out snorkeling/free diving in the river. We also used to dive Telford. I love the area. I always thought that I might retire there but...
Not to get morbid but it breaks my heart to...
Hey Pete how are ya? Board looks great...big enough to get lost in.
I don't know about "replacing" diving but I was always an angler and a hunter. IMy interest in fishing is really how I got into diving. My wife and I did a bunch of great diving.. We miss it but there's life after diving. Stay...
Hi everybody. Not "back" exactly. Like I said I stopped in because of that email. The reason I haven't been around health issued forced me to give up diving. That doesn't leave much to talk about on a diving forum. Oh, well life goes on.
I hadn't heard about those lost. Thanks.
I don't know if any of the "old timers" are still here but, please say "Hi".
I stopped in because I received an email that I had a PM from a member here but the system can't find the PM. A search on the members name doesn't come up with anything. It seems a little strange but as long as I was...
But you don't need a license to ride a motorcycle. You need the license to operate it on a public roadway where your mistake can hurt me.
In the US, licensing has generally been about restraining one person from causing harm to another. There are all sorts of legal ways for folks to cause harm...
The heavy wet suit is going to result in a greater change in buoyancy for a given change in depth. I would want to set aside time to get my weight and trim sorted out before a real dive.
Regarding units of measure, zero is still zero and half is still half but, a bar is roughly 15 psi (maybe...
Maybe I misunderstood TSandM but the idea behind descending and ascending in a horizontal position is that it provides for a great deal of control in ALL directions. Up/down with buoyancy control and fore/aft with the fins. Additionally, when you do it that way, you're never far from being...
Good post! That's me...started my cave diving in low flow and had my butt handed to me in JB (everything was flooded that year). We had a good time but we didn't get very far. LOL
I only dived Madison once and I don't remember the flow being an issue.
Just saw the thread (I haven't been around in a while). It caught my attention because I talked with Steve Keene a few weeks back and he made mention of the search.
My wife and I worked with Steve's team when they surveyed the cave back in 2003 (or whenever it was)...we mixed gas and did...
Either way (dry or wet) you're going to have to deal with buoyancy changes with depth.
I think a key factor is having the weight and buoyancy distributed such that your trim is manageable at all depths. It's not a big deal to put a little air into the BC or take it out but it's a pain when...
