    So why is my LDS so excited about sidemount all of a sudden?

    Actually, getting good trim in SM is much more challenging. First, the tanks don't have the same amount of gas in them at any point in time, so you fight with each one having a bit of a mind of its own. (Since you breathe 1/6 down on one tank, then 1/3 on other one). You might have less...

    Cow Springs-Steps and Boardwalk

    Cow is one of my favorite dive sites...and a place I went to frequently before I had a skiing accident. Though I have recovered physically, I now have this huge mental fear of falling and becoming disabled again....hence the reason to avoid those slippery wet leaves at Cow. Knowing there will be...

    One for the gals (

    Has anyone used a diva cup while diving deep? The product has a few 'air holes' along the rim...seems like it might trap air and cause a 'squeeze' on the way down....wondering if anyone has any experience with diving with a diva.

    Why do tech-divers wear black?

    Black hides the mildew better.....for folks whose gear never seems to get dry!

    Is Diving a Life Change for You?

    Of COURSE diving is a lifestyle. Like many who have posted, every decision I make revolves around how it will affect diving . . . from what hours I work, what kind of car to drive, where to live, how many family functions I can blow off. And on the very, very, very rare weekend that I can't...

    Cave/cavern safety question:

    Remember, in the phone book, divorce follows diving!! I had the same concerns about cave diving and was sure it would not be for me...I mean who cares about wet rocks anyways? I signed up my hubbie and I for cavern and intro anyways, thinking that it would help with reelwork and buoyancy for...

    Is it worth it?

    Team diving

    I don't have a team failure story, but I do have a good team success story. The team consisted of four cave divers on a trip to Akumal. Two were photographers with cameras and strobes. The third carried a slave strobe and I served as main navigator and model. After a couple of dives together...
