I was out of a couple of dives today...was nice. Good dives, even though the weather hasn't been great lately. Both dives lasted about 50 mins and I spotted a dog fish. Was cool. Nauticalbutnice :fruit: Oh did I happen to mention that those were dives number 50 + 51? I didn't? Well...

Every time I do a search or click on new posts I get google ads...I don't remember it doing that before. But I do know there were probs earlier. Is it something to do with that? Just a friendly heads up! Nauticalbutnice :fruit:

This is an offshoot from another thread about nationalities. We're a pretty diverse group. So what's your national anthem? Mine would be Flower of Scotland (although not "officially" - you ask us to sing the national anthem, we sing this) O Flower of Scotland, When will we see Your...

You know what? I think our mods are totally underappreciated. Day after day they have to sift through some of the most pointless, random posts, just to make sure that everything is running smoothly. They put up with endless criticism (hands up all the mods that have been called variations on...

This is nothing really serious but I just wondered if there was any specific trend across all the divers on this board. Just vote as you are! And apologies for the age splitting - it was the only way I could think to sort it! Nauticalbutnice :fruit:

Trying to give an article a rating but I keep getting told invalid login information. But I know its not! Whats up oh great and mighty tech gods? Please fixeth and I shall sacrifice a small pile of fragrant diver magazines in thy name ;) Nauticalbutnice :fruit:

Just want to see if I can post a poll.

Go on...you know you want too - You spend at least 1/3 of your income on diving You talk about diving all the time You refer to your friends as either your "non-diving friends" or your "dive buddies" You read diving magazines in the same way that most people read newspapers You hang...

Well it's been a while (scales were broken...yes I'm THAT fat ;) ) So since the 23 of August 2004 I have lost the grand total of 38 pounds. Hows everyone else doing? Nauticalbutnice :fruit:

Wow that's funky.

So I haven't been on much cos I've been diving way more than I should! Oops... But we were out yesterday and got talking about water temperature with some really new divers who had only dived in the Red Sea. They were shocked by the temp. So how's the water where you are? We've got 5.8...

Hope this is in the right forum - mods feel free to move it. From this months "Diver" magazine (supposedly Britain's best-selling diving magazine): "An American who has debilitating muscular dystrophy is determined to succeed in his quest to go diving - with the aid of a ventilator...

Ok, probably a bad title. But a couple of friends of mine go to the gym regularly. They've been really nice about the fact that their mate now wants to get fit for diving/lose weight. They've said I can go along with them and help them out. Problem - I really really hate the idea of...

Hi there! I've starting to buy some equipment (thanks for the Xmas money family! :eyebrow: ) and I've not got much so far. I've got my fins, mask, snorkel (I've used it once - is that normal? Usually I just leave it on the boat), gloves and hood. When it comes to BCs and drysuits (cold...

Hi there! I am not ready for the Rescue Diver course yet, still need to get a bit more confident in the water! But can people give me some info - the PADI website's a bit vague. What kind of skills do you have to do? Are there any pool sessions? Is it all open water? What kind of stuff do...

Did a dive yesterday and suddenly everything clicked! My buoyancy was pretty good - I stopped at one point and neither sank nor floated, but hovered. I nearly spat out my reg and yelled "Finally! Neutral Buoyancy!" It was so effortless, just like my head finally processed all my teaching...

Just out of curiosity - what kind of career could you have that involved diving? Not just being an instructor, what else is there out there? Thanks NauticalbutNice :fruit:

Hey - I'm due to do my AOW Deep dive at the weekend. I've done the navigation one, but this one is making me a little nervous. Excited too though! :jump013: Does anyone have any tips/advice that they'd like to pass on to the newbie? Cheers NauticalbutNice :fruit:
