Here is what I'm looking to do: - Purchase Hog Zenith Second Stage regulator - Purchase whatever Hog First Stage regulator that makes sense (cold water capable as well) Does anyone know enough about Hog D1 vs D2 vs D3 first stage to explain how one might be better than the other ? Anything...

Agreed. Ok, I have a pool and tank to use tommorrow at lunch time, ill experiment with weight placement, distribution, etc...

Ok, so here is what I bought: Drove to scubatoys, bought XS scuba wt pockets that connect to camband (thanks for idea TSandM), and also quick release version too. So I have those in my hands right now. Also ordered v weight pouch as well. So I don't want to wait around, so don't laugh at this...

Ok, that brings up a question as well: How much ditchable weight is enough ? Im 6' 3", 250 lbs, usually dive with AL80, what is a minimum amount of ditchable weight one should have ? 6lbs SS backplate, 2 on cam let's say, 2+2 on belt ?

I have brand new Hog SS backplate + 32lb Hog wing. Majority of time I take about 11-12lbs total of weight. Backplate is 6lbs of weight. I need 3 + 3lbs more. Here's problem: If I wear weight belt, just doesn't seem to work, I keep rotating a bit so end up feet down. I'm trying really hard to...

Ive been eyeing that missile silo. I think I'm going to head there Oct some time. My last AOW dive is supposed to be up at Lake Murray OK in a couple weeks, will be cool to check out the OK diving scene...

- Looking for novice level diving spot in Seattle area, part of day (two tanks probably). My only window is either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday 8/25 - 8/27. Flying in from Dallas TX 8/24 and flying out late night 8/28, for work. - Looking for advice on diving this area given I have zero...

Looking to buy an analog depth gauge (must be in feet). Need one badly.

My point was only that after seeing a doctor, if cleared, things to do to equalize and to stick with it instead of quitting diving forever is all...

I experienced similar issues during my open water dives, but not nearly as bad as yours. I would see a doctor familiar with diving issues, mine checked everything and basically told me I was an idiot. Why ? Because I've had allergies/sinus issues in general before, so I figured if I was going to...

I agree with fire_diver, sometimes you have to want it, CCSP is just over an hour from my house, it could be a lot lot worse drive. Sunny day, pretty good viz, I'll take that any day. Of course it will be 99 today :) CCSP: Exact GPS coordinates of blue doc right next to plane...

I was just there yesterday, conditions are actually pretty good. For things to see, go to the far end of lake, right off the blue barge, there is the plane. Get into water off the blue dock/barge, curve a little to left, and white skinny buoy marks the plane location. It's awesome. Viz isn't...

So as I dive more, I'm trying to write up more accurate and detailed dive reports. The one thing that seems to be relatively subjective is visibility. Is there an established procedure or protocol for estimating visibility ? If there are two divers, is there an accurate or established manner...

Hey guys, I got OW a couple years ago, completed the UW-Nav, and in process to finish the AOW in August. I dive out of Dallas, TX (live in north Dallas). I've been extremely impressed at the knowledge base and answers on this forum. My goal is to start diving more often (I'm seriously hooked)...

Strictly geographically because I live in Dallas I would say this (strongly suggest you contact them directly, who knows, hours may change): - Clear Springs (I'm pretty sure only open Fri, Sat, Sun). I got my OW there, not bad loc. Approx hour outside Dallas. - Lake Murray OK (scheduling to do...

Awww good point. I think I was imagining in those last few seconds may want to grab something I missed, but probably better to get away from boat ...

I'm a rookie, so bear with me: I was once in a situation similar to that, and it astounded me how quickly everyone panics and the situation deteriorates. What I would do: grab my dive bag, throw my wetsuit in it, grab water bottles and put in my bag, put my bcd on, find a corner of the boat...
