Hey all! I haven't been around for awhile, so I'm trying to catch up. Life has been crazy! Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!!! Anyone who I was planning on diving with later this month, I need to take a rain check until next Spring. I just found out I'm pregnant and I'll be beached...

I guess I should've elaborated more on that...My best Friend is getting married on the 24th and I'm in her wedding. She'd never forgive me if I went diving instead of being at her wedding..

I'm a red type of girl....I've done the dive flag motif, they got lots of compliments! Somtimes I do where pink though.

Getting water in your BC is normal. When you get home use your dump valve to get the water out. As for the air in your BC I've never seemed to be able to get the air completely out when I decend. And even after my dive I have to lay on it to get the air and water all out. I'm guessing that...

There's no way I can make it.... :17:

It is true that bodies do not decompose in water that cold, but they do take on a white waxy like appearance. I've seen photographs and videos from it. As for diving to see a dead guy- that's a little creepy to me.

Ok, after attempting my first dive from a boat and ending up aborting the dive for other reasons, I was looking for some advice on the best way to get out of the boat. When I did my dive I rolled out backwards and as I came up I felt a little disoriented and I was worried about the position of...

With any medication you should really consult your doctor as well. Even if it is an over the counter medicine. Or at least talk to a pharmacist. You can also check out www.scuba-doc.com for a lot of good articles about health and wellness and diving.

I read that yesterday....scary...And the news articles make it sound like it was her fault! I just love it when non divers judge what we do because they know so much about diving. That just cheezes me off.....sorry little rant there. She's a very lucky lady, thanksfully.

Fire Departments have to abide by OSHA regulations on their compressors to fill the SCBA tanks that fire fighters use to breath air from. The air is the same as what you get from your LDS. Many dive rescue teams use the local fire departments to fill their tanks. My department charges $1.00...

I have the same as DaFireMedic, but I also carry a couple of splints, some goggles, lots of gloves, flashlight and some oral airways. Mine is also more than the normal person would carry, but I take it with me when I camp or got boating as well as when I dive. The American Heart Association...

Welcome to SB!!!!! And T is right....some of these people "ain't" right....but that's what makes us fun!!!!

Thanks! There's always a positive side! lol....The whole thing is kinda funny....now....

PS we did get to see the Wreck of the Francis Morazan that is wrecked in about 7 feet of water....and on a really clear day you can see from the mainland.

Well no one missed anything yesterday on our Manitou Passage dive. The day turned into a small disaster. Only one other person showed up, although two members of our six person group had good excuses. When we were loading my gear into the boat my buddy told me that he forgotten his tanks. I...

Ok All. I know I've posted this info before, but I wanted to let you all know again... On June 26th a group of my coworkers and I are going to dive the Manitou Passage. Some of our group has backed out and we have some room for a couple more people. If anyone else is interested email me at...

Congrats! You have a beautiful baby!!! Loved the photos!!! You deserve to be proud!!!

I can't speak for you men, but I wear a two piece swim suit and then I put my skin on over that. It does help getting the wetsuit on, and it also helps prevent chafing. I have pretty sensitive skin so anything to prevent unsightly rashes and irritation is always welcome in my book. I live...

As with any medical problem you should consult your doctor before diving...It worried me that so many people have dove with cracked ribs-not a highly worrisome injury, but has the potential to become worse. I'm glad that everyone is fine...but, I think about the possiblity that you could fall...

Ok, let's not go around slamming cops. I was a cop for 5 years before I got into Fire and EMS, my dad is a retired police officer, my husband is a police officer and my father-in-law is one. (Just some backgroud to support what I am about to say). First of all the cops afroementioned suprise...
