    fear of losing mask

    I am a newly certified diver, done two ocean dives. I go through hypothetical scenarios in my head with things that can go wrong and see myself working through it using what I have learned and hopefully will remember if and when the real life problem occurs. The one scenario I cannot work...

    Any advice for first night dive?

    We did not go on the dive, and I don't know if the others did or not. The others are well seasoned instructors and they would be the only people I would do a first night dive with if I ever do one. I appreciate all the comments and will certainly keep them in mind when I am ready to venture...

    Any advice for first night dive?

    I am going to follow the experienced divers' lead and just go along for the experience. I have no problem deferring to more experienced divers. Then again, I may chicken out since the weather has turned cold. I have one dive since becoming certified and I am feeling extremely intimidated. Vis...

    Any advice for first night dive?

    I have been to 60-65 feet, and bottom is probably 75-80 feet. Being landlocked, we get wet where we can. We were in the dive shop today and the instructors asked as if we wanted to do a night dive in the quarry. My first thought was, "what is there to see in a quarry at night?" A new...

    First gen Atmos AI with compass

    I am a student diver and inherited this first generation Atmos AI with compass and quick disconnect from my cousin. I don't have any way to connect it to a PC, or any software. How old is this thing? I don't have the manual and don't know if the ones I am seeing online are the correct ones...

    Need instructor for checkout OW dives

    Our insructor mentioned that quarry and it is an option if the vis is good. I just want warmer water than the local lakes and good visibility.

    Need instructor for checkout OW dives

    We are considering Ginny Springs or the blue grotto, and staying locally. Family would drive over to be with us. Our class is IDEA but the instructor has PADI and all the other alphabet certifications. I have been trying to sweet talk him into coming with us but no luck so far. He is willing...

    Need instructor for checkout OW dives

    We live in NE Tennessee and the water is too cold most of the year for my taste, and visibility is poor a lot in the local TVA lakes. Would like to do our checkout dives in the springs in Florida since we have relatives near Daytona. We have been doing sporadic pool sessions for almost a year...
