Hey All, I am going to Mermet Springs for a class this weekend, but I will be getting there at about 11am. Anyone going to be around and want to dive from 1-5pm? Thanks, Jerrod

Hi, I wear a 12W male shoe size. My foot will comfortably fit an 11W when I need support for running but prefer the 12 for work shoes, etc.. So I read on Dive Gear Express that XL is 10-12, so I ordered those. When they arrived, I noticed with my 12 3 mil boots that are slightly larger for me...

I have been slowly purchasing everything for a set of doubles, and finally I have everything except the regulators! The diving I will probably be doing will be max 150' dives, cavern and wreck (light zone) over the next two or three years. Temperature will be from 45-85 F, with the occasional...

Hi, I have an SSI open water cert, the GUE Primer and I have taken the PADI PPB and Nitrox specialties, and one PADI dive propulsion vehicle dive. I have 87 dives under my belt since beginning diving in July 2012. I wanted to take Deep diving but they want me to take the AOW course and that...

I finally got a chance to go diving this weekend out at Joe's quarry. Joe has released 100 paddle fish in December. I saw about 10 while there. Since this was probably one of the first time they have seen us they wouldn't get too close. Most were about 1 foot long. The water at the surface...

I have been reading the book Fatal Depth about the Andrea Doria and all the people that have died diving it. In the book there is a story about a guy that freaked out and shot to the surface from 250 ft. The book states the captain "ran some software" to determine that the diver needed to...

As I go through this forum, I constantly see remarks from non-DIR/GUE divers making some smart comments about "I am not doing it right (DIW) so I am going to die", or other comments about the people that subscribe to the DIR philosophy. While I admit that the term is off putting, I also agree...

This weekend I went on a trip to Laurel River Lake and thought I would post a trip report. We arrived Friday night and setup camp at Holly Bay Campground. Camping there is 14 for non-electric water and 24 for electric and water. The place is OK, and there is hot showers and flushable toilets...

Hi all, I just took the GUE primer with a guy out of Lexington named Ed Gabe (I can give you his contact information if your interested in personal training). I learned a ton and my buoyancy is so much better. I got to dive with a bp/w and in my personal opinion, having rented a lot of gear...

Hello, I just learned to dive last month and now have about 25 dives under my belt. I have rented all sorts of equipment, and my wife told me I have to buy equipment because I am wasting money (who can argue with that!). I live in KY and will probably be only diving moderate fresh water...

I thought I would post my comments on my trip of Dale Hollow. This is my first trip report, so if I left anything out, just ask. Friday I went down to Dale Hollow Lake with the Louisville Dive Center. We stayed on trooper island, Kentucky State Police: Trooper Island, for the price of 75.00...

Hi, I am a new divers with only 10 dives. I had the pleasure of working with a good instructor for the last five and got some great tips on reducing my air consumption. I have reduced my weight (went from 24 lbs to 12), and stopped fiddling with adding air and letting it out of my BC for...

I am a new diver and want to get some practice in before my trip to Dale Hollow in mid August. Anyone want to go to Lagrange this weekend 7/21-7/22 or next weekend 7/28-29 for four or five dives? Thanks, Jerrod ---------- Post Merged on July 18th, 2012 at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous Post...

I have always wanted to be a scuba diver, so when my wife bought me a groupon for a discover scuba and some money off of the certification, I was very excited. But after going through the entire process, I thought I would lay out my thoughts to see if others felt the same way. My criticism of...
