Oh boy, lots of new NiMH batteries being introduced. I've searched the net for information and so far it's been helpful, but now I'm going to ask all the shutter bugs here what they have been using for batteries and chargers, are you happy with your choice, and how many types of batteries did...

I was going to post this on the whine and cheese thread, but then I thought it needs the most exposure it can get. Am I alone in my thinking, in that when I see a reply to a subject that was discussed back when Mike Nelson was still a houshold name, that this person replying should have at...

I'll be in Florida from Feb 25th till March 6, and my first visit will be to 40 Fathoms Grotto for the first few days. After that its up for grabs where I go. Its my first time to Florida, I'll be flying into Tampa, and would like to dive a few wrecks in the area if that is possible. I may...

VR3 or the He? Feedback from owners of either units would be much appreciated. The Good The Bad and The Ugly The manufacturers sites of course list all the reasons they are the best, but as we all know, that's not the entire story. Or is it? My problem is that no one I know...

OK, the fire side discussion this weekend was on the most efficient way to control buoyancy when diving dry. Argument #1 was that using the drysuit exclusively reduces task loading and as a result should be used in this fashion. Argument #2 was that using the BCD or BP/W for buoyancy...

Most of the times, we read a report on this forum where divers do not make it back, and then try to postulate on how it happened. The following is an account of what happened this weekend, the only hitch is the ending was a good one. We started our dive as usual, gearing up and discussing...

Well, the air was warmer, about 10c. The ice was thinner, about 1 meter and s o f t. But the dive was just as expected. Those on the surface were in lite jackets or T-Shirts and getting an early start to a summer tan. The sun was bright and the sky was clear. Just a perfect day. :crafty...

OK, we all get SPAM, we all hate SPAM. (at least most of us do). Because this is not SCUBA related, this poll is in here. However, I am curious at just how pissed off the rest of you are about all the SPAM. This poll is aimed at just that question. Your comments on what you would like to see...

Just when you thought divers with "Troy Built" stenciled on their tanks, churning up the bottom was about bad as it would get. Along comes a TOOL that helps those gadget getters and bottom bouncers reduce visability to zero in record time...

The following link is to a regularly updated satalite map of ocean temperatures. Just though it would be interesting to find out what "some" people are diving in. :cheeky: https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/products/OTIS/US058VMET-GIFwxg.OTIS.glbl_sst.gif Oh, and it's a secure web site, so...

I've covered all the usual and obvious reasons for IE 6.0 not acting properly. But the only web page that I am having problems with it ScubaBoard. The page will not fully load. It will stop half way into a load and fail to display most action buttons, as well as all avitars and pictures. As...

In an earlier thread, a respondent mentioned that a poll on the subject would be interesting. Here it is. Multiple responces are allowed. Have you ever experienced a reverse block either in your sinuses or ears?

Ok, last night the temp outside was -42c static with a wind-chill dropping the cold index to -57c. Yes that’s right minus fifty-seven degrees Celsius! Tonight the static temp will be -41c and the wind-chill of -58c due to the slightly higher winds. (I’d say it time for some ice diving!)...

Dear Dr. Deco: Seeing as you are employed at NASA, and in light of the recent remote expeditions to Mars to determine if water exists on the red planet. I would like to know if NASA confirms the existence of water on Mars, will they go into the tourist business and run some dive charters to...

When diving in affected waters, the chance of Zebra Mussles entering your BCD and hitching a ride back to new waters is almost assured. So, the question is, how do you make certain you have killed the little buggers? Would a wash out with pure Listerine mouth wash do it? Any suggestions...

The following article is all the info I have to date. If any more news is released, I will post it here. Thursday, May 8, 2003 Dive leader drowns Accident on day off kills Kenora police officer By TAMMY MARLOWE, STAFF REPORTER Members of the Kenora Police Service are trying to come...

The Choking Boy A dad walks into a market with his young son. The kid is holding a quarter. Suddenly, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The dad realizes the boy has swallowed the quarter and starts panicking, shouting for help. A well dressed, attractive, but serious...

Lots of sales lit. but what I'm interested in is user responce. Are there any members who are diving a CCR2000, hard case or soft pack, and how would you rate it. Likes, dislikes etc... It's a lot of money, but I'm having a tough time deciding between the Inspiration or the CCR2000.
