@rob.mwpropane Diving a Fourth Element Argonaut trilam suit, so different thermal needs but... The Smartwool is pricey, but holds up well. I've been diving a set of 150gm and 250gm ("regular" stuff, not the new Interlock whatever that is) for 2 years with very little visible wear. I normally...

@Kevin Floyd Not sure what you ended up deciding on a drysuit, but I've got about a hundred dives on my Fourth Element Argonaut (the "plain" one) and have had no issues other than needing to replace the neck seal after a year which seems pretty normal from what I hear. Of the three suits...

Saturday, December 7 from 10am - 5pm 12712 Rock Creek Mill Rd. #3A Rockville, MD 20852 It's the most wonderful time of the year! Once again Tanya is hosting the annual Holiday Party at Submerged. Come and hang out with other area divers or find out about becoming one in a supportive and...

If you’re flying in to FLL and looking to dive wrecks, I’d suggest a day or two diving out of Pompano before you head down to Key Largo. Don’t get me wrong, you definitely want to get to Key Largo and dive the Spiegel Grove and the Duane/ Bibb (they’re twins) but when you land at FLL you’re...

@formernuke, I'm a fan of a combination of Smartwool and Fouth Element layers. I’ve mixed and matched the following from the 70s down to 40 and been comfortable: 150gm Smartwool base layer 250gm Smartwool base layer Fourth Element Xerotherm Fourth Element Arctic Fourth Element X-Core Vest REI...

Like several other folks above, I had a good time diving with Stuart Cove’s. I didn’t do the shark feeding, just 4 dives at different sites around the end of the island. The “Bond Wrecks” were fun for me since I’m a fan of the books. Non-diving things I’d suggest while in Nassau: Daiquiri...

Crazy idea ahead: Maybe reach out and see if you could book Osprey to pick your group up on the Canadian side of the lake? A group of us from the DC area were up diving with them a couple of weeks ago and had some great dives including the Saint James. Boat, crew, and fills were all...

@joakala +1 for Seattle Dive Tours ~ Guided Scuba Diving Tours of Seattle Washington, Puget Sound, and the San Juan Islands I had a down day in Seattle during a trip last October and had two nice dives with them one morning in Alki Cove. In my case I brought all of my gear except tanks and...

When I was in Boston last summer I dove with East Coast Divers East Coast Divers - Boston Massachusetts Scuba Certification and Retail on a charter they had going out of Gloucester, MA. I had my gear with me and just needed to rent cylinders and weights, but I imagine they'd be able to help you...

I download all my dives into Subsurface when I get back home and use their cloud sync to transfer to my PC, phone, and iPad. I log gas used, exposure protection, weights, and dive site info for future reference. It’s helpful for me in remembering what I used for a particular trip but even more...

Saturday, June 8 from 10am - 5pm 12712 Rock Creek Mill Rd. #3A Rockville, MD 20852 Come and find out why Submerged in Rockville, MD is more than just a great local dive shop but also home to a community of active, local divers. I’m not an employee, just someone who really likes the shop and...

@Thook I’ve tried ginger and it didn’t really seem to help me, but I’ve had good results with Meclazine (generic Bonine, bought at Costco). Like one person mentioned above, I start it the night before I’m heading out and then take a dose between 5-6am on my way to the boat so it has time to...

A bit of a drive, but Submerged in Rockville, MD banks 32% (and TriMix). As a courtesy I do recommend calling first, especially if you are trying to swing by right at the end of the day. Not sure in NoVA... @stuartv or @CAPTAIN SINBAD can probably suggest some shops though. Mark

CS, Depending on dates I’m certainly interested and can most likely make a weekday trip work. I’d suggest putting some possible dates on a Doodle calendar so people can vote. Mark

@ScarecrowVII If you're in Pax River, you should definitely check out the folks at Southern Maryland Divers https://www.somddivers.com if you haven't already. They have a monthly meeting for their dive club (organized by Erik Petkovic) that is a little far away for me to get to, but if it was...

Welcome to ScubaBoard and the area! The options right around here are limited to lakes/ quarries which is where you’ll find a bunch of us once the weather starts to warm up. When you’re ready for something salty within a reasonable driving distance you can head to any of several charters in NJ...

+1 on shaving a little just below your nose (or your husband’s in this case). Maybe 1/4” - 3/16” is all that is needed with my mask and I suspect most others. Welcome to diving and to ScubaBoard! Mark

I’m planning to be there on the 23rd including the Evening Theater presentations. Let’s see who all chimes in and then we’ll try to figure out something to do :cheers:. Mark

+1 for TGDP!

My Fourth Element drysuit came with a dry bag with a shoulder strap that has extra room and has now become my carry-on bag for dive trips. It holds my drysuit, base layer, my argon bottle (valve removed), canister light, my batteries for my backup lights, my regulators, and my dive computer...
