    Yorkton, Sask

    i don't know about regina, but saskatoon offers a course at one of the pools via the saskatoon dive centre. well taught course that i thought did a good job of preparing me. that was 9 years ago, but i'm pretty sure it's still offered. saskatoon isn't much of a difference in distance compared to...

    Amazing image of woman shot thru the mouth by spear gun.+

    it looks like one of her teeth (molar or premolar?) along the lower jaw is # gotta admit, i LOVE stuff like this. it always amazes me the injuries that people sustain with reasonably little damage to critical structures. i remember seeing a kid accidentally shot by a cousin when they were out...

    Diving and hearing loss - any connection?

    no whistling noise. it does seem to be specific frequencies - mainly those in the range of female voices. again, though, it is only an issue when there is background noise. otherwise, it really doesn't affect my day to day life. certainly doesn't bother me enough to see an ENT. i first started...

    Diving and hearing loss - any connection?

    I've never had a perforated ear drum. at times i've had trouble equalizing, but never continued to descend until okay. when i was first learning to dive i did have a few times that i didn't dump enough air from my BCD and rocketed up, but otherwise have always done slow ascents and safety stops...

    Scuba Diving Acronyms

    SFA (sweet F*** all) -- ie. we spent 40 minutes looking for mantas and saw SFA my dive buddy and i have also developed some hand signals to help communicate with each other. we both really like cool coral formations so we we decided to make a "C" with our hand and move the hand up and down...

    Belize, any advice ?

    i just came back from a trip to Belize. went specifically to see whale sharks (NOW is the time to be there for that) and i was one of the few who DID NOT see one. bummer. however, the dive crew really tried hard for me, and hats off to them. did get to see a hammerhead and one day some dolphins...

    Southern Belize Needs Your Help!

    This breaks my heart. I just got back from Placencia Wednesday night and now hear about this! Tragic. I have sent off email and hope dearly that this doesn't just end up being a decision based on money. The gist of my message is that I have gone there twice in the past year, but if they accept...

    What do you wear over your swimsuit on a dive boat?

    as mentioned, depends on conditions and type of boat. on smaller boats you might be more exposed so i usually pack a light gortex jacket. more than once people have looked at me enviously. i always bring a sarong. it is so versatile. if you interval on an island you can sit/lie on it. use it...

    Problem Hair - Long and Lots!

    i have long hair that is very curly and is not down to my waist anymore, but still goes to about mid back. i have tried several methods of taming "the beast," as i call it. the one that seems to work the best (for me, anyway) is to first make a small pony tail close the scalp near the temple on...
