    For sale: Atomic mask, Dive-Rite & Hollis fins, Halcyon 21W HID Explorer light

    I’ve spent the past week taking a dive class, which means too much time spent in a shop and too much equipment bought. I’m selling the following items. PM me with questions, for further details, and/or for photos of the item itself. All items are in good condition, have been used...

    OW Instructor in the Tampa Bay Area for Memorial Day weekend?

    He does pick things up quickly and would probably be able to do it, but I'm not a fan of rushing through the instruction. I told him to get the coursework and pool sessions finished where he is, and to come down with a referral card to do the open water dives. Thanks for the info. I just...

    OW Instructor in the Tampa Bay Area for Memorial Day weekend?

    I know, that's what I'm trying to tell him. But I told him I'd ask anyway. :-)

    OW Instructor in the Tampa Bay Area for Memorial Day weekend?

    A good friend of mine is coming to visit me (in St Petersburg) over Memorial Day weekend and he wants to get OW certification. He's in the Army and is on leave for a few days, so he only has one weekend (3-4 days) to get everything finished. He's been diving a few times before, in Hawaii, a...

    A non-diving question for technical divers:

    I haven't heard the shark one yet, but I have been warned about alligators.

    A non-diving question for technical divers:

    I'm not sure if explaining the risks to your immediate family does anybody any good. I don't think you can prepare them for the worst, so maybe ignorance is bliss? (NOTE: I'm single and without kids so I probably have a different perspective on it.)

    A non-diving question for technical divers:

    Good, those are pretty much my thoughts too. I was just wondering how others felt.

    A non-diving question for technical divers:

    When you're talking to friends/family/acquaintances who are not divers themselves, do you go into detail about the type of diving you do? Specifically about the dangers involved with technical diving (caves, deep diving, mixed gases, etc.)? This subject came up recently with a (cave diver)...

    When are you ready for cavern training?

    I just spoke with an old friend (and advanced cave diver) who reminded me to make sure I was having fun diving... and not just stressing myself about taking more courses and buying more equipment. He gently reminded me that the whole point of diving is to have fun, and if you're not then what's...

    Technical dive shops in Tampa Bay Area

    I've been in the shop a couple of times, yes. But I'm not looking to advance my training any more just yet, I just want to get out on dives. I was supposed to go up to Blue Grotto with them today but had to cancel because I've been sick all weekend. Hopefully we'll be able to arrange...

    When are you ready for cavern training?

    Kate, I just saw your status "is wondering what the stars mean". Haha, I've been wondering the same thing myself. Does anybody have any idea? And I heard back from Mer today about the primer course, hopefully we're able to work something out with our schedules. ---------- Post added...

    When are you ready for cavern training?

    Tracy -- I've been to Paradise, it was a nice dive. I teach during the week, but I'm ready to go out diving any weekend (and school holiday). I've done all spring/cavern dives since being in Florida (six weeks) but I wouldn't mind getting back onto a boat. What's your schedule like? .

    When are you ready for cavern training?

    Corvettejoe-- Great, that sounds perfect. I predict I'll be spending a lot of alone time in that spring, pretending I'm in a cave. :-)
