Recently moved from Dripping Springs area down to the south side of Canyon Lake (more Spring Branch). Anyone gone diving there lately? Any other places close that are more worthwhile? Haven't gotten wet in a bit and I have a couple weeks off. Low viz doesn't bug me, as long as it's...

My wife insists that father's day is an important thing and won't let me skip it so I told her I wanted her to get certified. The trouble is, we're land locked (Austin... ish) and the lakes are pretty murky and we have a 10 month old. I'd rather her do the open water dives some place where she...

I have a dive tomorrow and I'm not only a little rusty (no open water dives in over a year but some pool time for gear testing) but I'm also diving new tanks. I did some bath tub tests and I'm coming up with 35lbs of weight. This seems a little high but I'm setup sidemount and I have a pretty...

I just moved from the Silicon Valley to Austin and am looking for a good shop (or shops) and some pointers on dive sites. Until my SO gets certified (I hope she ends up loving diving...), I may be in the market for some folks to go swimming with too. I managed to truck over everything but my...

Apparently I'm straddling the S and M sizes of the SolaFX. I'm 5'7” @ 160lbs (ish). When I'm back at the gym I get down to 150lbs. The M height range is 5'8" on the low side but the S is at 145lbs on the high side. Anyone have any thoughts on which end would actually work? I tried on a...

I'm a recent convert to SM and I'm working on setting up my new kit (xdeep stealth + hog d3s). The only thing I'm not in love with is having hoses wrapped around my neck. I've heard a rumor that I'm not alone in this and have seen one SM diver setup without the neck wrapping but I didn't pay...

TL;DR Away on business in India, brought my gear, battery went wonky, RonR went out of his way to help me debug, new battery was sent on the third and got here tonight. The Long Version I'm in India for three months for work and since I'm this close to the Maldives, how could I not plan a dive...
