    Problems connecting...

    I was not on the board for a couple months, and recently came back. Maybe I missed the info somewhere. I read that some server issues were being addressed and that was why some features were not working yet, but does anyone else have persistent, frequent, and lengthy problems with connection to...

    So, am I officially a Swamper?

    Twin Lakes on Sunday... I didn't stay in long, but DAMN it was COLD!!!!! My bod felt fine in the 7mm, but I haven't worn a hood before, and it felt really uncomfortable to me. Probably part constriction and part feeling like a cross between a mummy and Gumby! So, I went in for three short...

    Departure-specific travel searches?

    I seem to spend so much time filling out forms to look up deals on the various travel sites, for a dozen different places I might like to go. I was wondering if anyone knows of a travel search that will just pull up all the current specials (or perhaps by region or category) from one specific...

    A BIG Thank You to Conch Republic Divers!

    Last week I made my first trip to the Florida Keys. It was to be my first time diving after getting my OW cert. Things didn't go so well on Friday. I had issues with my BC and didn't end up getting under. Visibility also sucked and very high winds were on the way. I posted on SB asking if...

    Well, the good news is I finally got back underwater.

    (OK, I probably made plenty of mistakes, but I am being honest about my bumbling experience, so be gentle with me!:10:) I had no problem with equalizing, which was what I worried about because of the problem I had during my checkout dives! (YAY!) The trip to the Keys started out hectic...

    Any suggestions for managing a dive on a pitiful weekend?

    I came to the Keys this weekend, and leave Monday. Friday was NOT a good experience at all. I'll get into details on that later when I get home. Today it is too gusty (22 to 30mph winds), and the dive op said they weren't even going out. Visibility is like pea soup. winds willgo down a bit...

    Wetsuit question

    Newly certified, getting ready for first dive trip, so sorry if this is a silly question:05: Do you always wear a wetsuit? What about Shorties? What about sets that are similar to a t-shirt and bike shorts? I found the wetsuit to be uncomfortable in my elbows and knees especially. I like...
