With the 2008 diving season rapidly approaching, the Long Island Divers Association has been working very hard to try to make this year a great one for diving. So much has been happening so fast, so we would like to give you all a brief summary. On February 20th, the membership elected the...

I charge $500 for the TDI Adv Nitrox and Deco procedures class combined. There really is no sense to teaching or taking them separately. Cost includes books and certification, 3 classroom sesions, and 6 dives. 2 dives are performed at a quarry (students are responsible for entry fees) and the...

Been there a few times. What exactly do you want to know about it?

The Eagles Nest is definately not doing the Doria this year. The Lockness (http://www.locknessdiveboat.net) out of Freeport has a trip scheduled for June 23-25.

Hi Dan, Yeah, of all your buddies who said they wanted to take the class, you were the only one who comitted. Hope you get enough for Jeff's class, and I'm sure I'll se you at the shop. Been diving? Adam

Keep your fingers crossed and throw in some prayers to the weather gods. I'll be crew on that trip, make sure to say Hi! Adam

I have used the stainless ones in the past, and they work very well, but I haven't seen them available in years. Watch out for those bolt snaps. Most of the springs are made of spring-steel, not stainless, and they will fail quite quickly. Dive Safe Adam

I once needed to get out of a U-boat very quickly (a whole other story) and the quickest way out (forward torpedo loading hatch) wouldn't fit me with my gear on. This was long before the days of the long hose, but I never forgot this incident. Having a long hose then would have made the...

1. Ask to see their logbook. If they haven't done 30 dives in the past year to or above the level of instruction you are looking for, best bet is there are more qualified instructors available. If they can't produce a logbook, run, don't walk. 2. Ask for 3 references; students who have taken...

I have used Aquanauts in Puerto Aventuras, and they were top notch. http://www.aquanauts-online.com/ Adam

Most of the deaths had nothing to do with penetration. Only John Ormsby and Carig Sicola were likely due to penetration. Other who were in the wreck more likely died from balckout. Some I'm not sure of, anyone have more info? 1981 - John Barnett - Inside wreck, untangled - Possible deep water...

Eagle's Nest went to NJ Today for the wreck of the Pinta. I haven't been there in years, so it was nice to get back there. Seas were very calm, perhaps a 1 foot swell was all. The surface visibility was amazing. From the surface, you could just make out the hook tied into the wheelhouse. The top...

Personally, I love teaching young kids, and I am a strong proponent of such, for the right kids. They need to be comfortable in the water, have the right maturity and attitude, and have to want to do it for themselves, not for someone else. Given that, I think its great to get them in the water...

These tanks do not have to be condemned, they need to be tested. That's right, I didn't say "examined", I said tested. There is a device that screws into the neck of the tanks and uses electronic pulses to check for stress fractures. Many such fractures can occur and go visually undetected, even...
