Actually, per NAUI standards for an Advanced student, no you do not have to have them under direct supervision for the navigation dives, you only have to oversee the dives. For Advanced, the first deep dive, and the night dive must be directly supervised, but not the others. Hence, as others...

Hi there, a Midwesterner here that has dove 4 out of 5 Great Lakes, needing to dive Lake Ontario yet. I've seen some discussion of the St Peter, but my searches on the internet are not turning up any charters in the area. Planning on coming to NY weekend of 20 August, have a class in West...

In the 80's is exactly when I'm debating leaving the 3mm at home. I do 2 hour pool sessions at 78 to 79 with a 3mm shorty. I'm in a 3mm down to 70 or a little colder. So, sounds like definitely don't need the 5mm (55 to 60 degree dives), or the 7mm (36-40 degree dives). PS, Jupiter is a long...

What bottom temps can I expect in Key West, such as for the Vandenberg, week of 13 July? Debating whether or not to bring my 3mm wetsuit. Ken

Forget Marquette. Go to Munising. No good diving in or around Marquette, best is over at Munising. Last I knew, there was no more dive shop in Marquette, either.

"Move all the AOW dives to the tubes and you can keep it..." Can't just use the tubes for the AOW dives, I take my OW students to the tubes to get them their 60 feet. I need to get my AOW students at least 80'. But then, my AOW students also get 15 to 20 dives to get AOW, not just 5 or 6 (4...

Looks like weekend of 3 May. Given the late spring and cold winter, I expect the shallows (~30ft) to be maybe 40 degrees. Tubes maybe 38. Doable in a good fitting 2 piece 7 mm suit. Ken

I have a new VT4.1, and I am trying to get it to be able to use the same transmitter as my Datamask so I don't have to track multiple transmitters. I've got the serial number set into the Vt 4.1, but it doesn't wan to display the pressure from transmitter 2, only 1. How do I get the VT4.1 to...

OK, tried, unsuccessfully, to dive Escanaba or vicinity. But, I learned a little. First, Escanaba was closed for their 150th birthday party. So, I didn't talk to anyone in Escanaba about the diving ahead of time, there is no dive shop to call, and I didn't call anyone else. Might have...

There's going to be 3 of us up there. I'll take a look at that link, thanks! Ken

Thanks, sounds like I need to contact M&M in Menominee. I'll be staying with my Dad in Gwinn while I'm up there.

I'll be up in the UP this summer for a bit, and I'm set to dive in Munising. However, also want to dive Lake Michigan while up there, and see writeups about the Nahant and the John Weber easily diveable from Escanaba. I tried to contact Blue Water Divers in Escanaba to gather a bit more info...

Not enough info there to make any conclusions. Why ask about hiking? It says 1,000 yards offshore.

Denny - Barracuda2: Toledo Kielbasa, 1 for the Red Pig on Fri. night. John Walko - Sausage, peppers, rolls, diet soda and water; No Red Pig John Choby - Some kind of main dish; No Red Pig. Ken Charpie - Cheesecake?; no pig. (only coming Saturday/Sunday)

There is no way argon could get from my dry suit into my full face mask. No connection at all. Ken

Yes it is. Here in the midwest we dive in water down into the 30s most of the year. ---------- Post added March 13th, 2013 at 09:46 AM ---------- At least he's staying warm!

Also, was it a 1 piece 7mm, or a 2pc? That is a good thought on the dry suit for cold water. I dive a 2 pc 7mm or a dry suit in cold water, maybe I will tend more towards the dry suit now.

So, you intentionally did a deco dive to 150' on air, with a computer specifically instructing NOT to use it for deco diving? And you were physically not up to par for ANY diving that day, let alone a deco dive? Are you even trained for deco diving? Well, you lived. Did you actually learn?

Thanks for that information, very helpful. I have also had a weight pocket fall out that was secured only by velcro - it also had 8lbs in it. DON'T buy a BC that only secures the pouch with velcro! Get one that has a secure buckle, that is also easy to ditch if needed. Over time the velcro...
