I moved to Vancouver in August, but my work load was around 80 hrs a week, its finally settled down enough that I know my schedule and I would love some more dives. I haven't had a chance to dive since July, so I'd like to go for at least a couple slow and shallow(50' or so) dives to just poke...

In the past 3 dives, I have had fun with my ears:D At random, once on dive 1 at 15min into the dive, and at 83ft following a wall, I felt a slight pressure in one ear and my body decided I was in a washing machine, I could still see my buddy and the wall so I decided it was vertigo(never had it...

A few days back after a dive I posted a thread in the diving medicine forum concerned about a bright red patch on my skin arm, fortunately it turned out to be sunburn, which was caused pre-dive due to my open top jeep, it was the only time I wasn't wearing a full suit but I didn't look back that...

I'm asking because during the summer the good local dive sites get packed, but I have a older boat that would make an idea dive boat. Its a 16ft double hulled hourston(spelling?) 80horse with a 5 hp kicker in case the primary breaks down. Enough tanks for a 400km range, and we'll be at most...

Is it possible? if so: what is the typical cost any C-cards needed:D I'd just like to have one on board for the summer.

Uwatec in a wrist mount for 200$, I was hoping to get a computer but the basic aladins were over 400$ and I didn't have the money for it. So much nicer then the floaty console version on the rental gear! how do you switch screens? it seems to switch at random.

After a dive today I have one patch on my arm that is very bright red, and feels really warm to the touch, it is on the topside of my arm from the elbow to the wrist, I'm curious because I've never seen that before, and it is only one area, its not sunburn(no sun to get burnt by) and its lasted...

I bought a blizzard on clearance from a shop in the states, it will be my first regulator. I bought it because of all the places I've read about the reliability in cold water and resistance to dirt and crud. I'll be in 44F and colder most of the time, especially when I head up north to the...

I shoot pictures with a Pentax Optio w10, its a perfect camera for me underwater IMO because: -Most of the backside is a large/bright LCD, no viewfinder to muck about with -I have a lot of experience with it, with the right settings I can have it auto switch macro to regular, and I just prefocus...

I had an offer for 6 tanks for 100$ The good: -They are exactly the same as what I learned on -my buddy dives them. -They would let me do multiple dives in between fills, such as diving where it is not practical to go the LDS a couple times in a day. The bad: -The positive buoyancy -My buddy...

I have finished my OW class, and done a few dives, I'm now diving with a much more experienced(and awesome!) diver. I'm learning a lot from him, but I was wondering if public pools allow you to bring dive gear in? I was hoping to practice some of the stuff I find I need to work on in the pool...

I'm looking for a reg to dive mostly around where I am now, that is: Vancouver island/West coast of BC. Dry suit Temps are usually 38-45F. There is a fair amount of particles/sand floating in the water where I will be diving the most. I used scubapro rental regs. the octo sucked, free flowing...

I'm not quite sure how else to ask it, when hiking you can almost always pick out new backpackers by the small orange colghans shovel in the side of their pack for digging poop pits. usually when helping someone out who has this shovel I start with the very simplest and human caused reasons for...

It'd probably have been cheaper and less damaging to relationships and my job:D Figured I should say hi, I just found my way here while looking for information on regulators, already I've learned a bunch of good stuff; like maybe why my first dive buddy after open water won't answer his cell...
