    Spare Air

    http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ChZapfN5s-8 Spare air released the above youtube video -- truly a miracle! Thank goodness this diver had his spare air which allowed him to swim in a cave for 20minutes! Fortunately for Scubaboard members, I have uncovered a related story.... It turns out that the...

    IC12 battery

    Is this battery the same as the Canon NB-6L? There are some great deals on two batteries + charger for these -- would be great to have one charging in the car while I'm diving with the other. Canon NB-6L Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (3.7v, 1000mAh) 2607B001 If not same, please advise where I might...

    What I won at Bonne Terre Mine treasure Hunt 2011

    It is said that “Through repetition comes perfection.” Having just returned home to St. Louis after attending the Bonne Terre Mines Treasure Hunt, this old adage (like the mine) still holds water. It was the fourth annual BTM Treasure Hunt and it was also my fourth time attending the event...

    FYI, Maybe it's just me, but when I tried to follow your link it asked me for my MS Live credentials and then yielded the following error: "It appears that you don’t have permission to access Scuba. You might be trying to access it with a different account or might need to ask the album’s...

    Bonne Terre Mines Treasure Hunt - 2009 review

    Now we know really why advanced diving requires redundancy of all possible systems - your codivers have to work twice as hard to sabatage you! I swear I didn't know who I was bidding against! I was distracted by, ermm, something distracting in my vicinity :P

    Advice for investigating relatively undove lake 1.5 hrs from St. Louis

    hrmmm...sounds interesting I would start by contacting the local library-see if they have any resources (documents / old-timers /town historians who remember) you could bring to bare. Next step would be to try to gain legal access to the lake - perhaps through a resident or a lake caretaker...

    Bonne Terre Mines Treasure Hunt - 2009 review

    Bearing the surname Packman has always been a mixed blessing. On the one hand people remember my name, but on the other hand, I have been fielding the jokes since sixth grade. Clearly I have a genetic advantage for gobbling chips (be they power pellets, potato, or poker), so I'm not sure that it...

    Bennett Springs 4/9/2009-4/12/2009

    I do not believe they allow diving in april, usually they only issue permits nov-feb. Wish they would change this policy. Call the bennett springs nature center and ask about the possibility for a permit - (417) 532-3925.

    Extreme Sports-Joplin

    Many unscupulous dive shops will not actually service your regulators when you bring them in for servicing. The shops I trust with my regulators give you back all the parts they replaced (o-rings, manifolds etc) in a plastic bag just to give you the piece of mind that these parts were actually...

    So, did your sister in law get a Patty certification? (hawhaw, I'm sure she's only heard that one a few hundred times :P). The mating fish pic is truly awesome-well done! After extensive studying of fish books and a marine biology class I cataloged all the fish I saw when taking my Intro...

    K2 Scuba

    I Just purchased a Dive Rite Nitek Duo computer from K2 Scuba's web site, http://www.k2scuba.com/ - Their sales/service was excellent. The owner included a handwritten note and a couple extra bonus gifts (sunglasses, defog, couple catalogs) in the package. The package arrived in 3 days after...
