Hi egg007, I think you are giving some good advice. However, I know this a long thread and I'm not sure if you read all of it. I did contact the agencies and the dive shop numerous times. I would have much rathered this was done right by the dive shop so I would not have to think or say...

Hey these guys are showing up all over this board. I love that they are wearing their masks on their foreheads! Laura

Hi ktenhusband, I think we got just a little bit off the track of welcoming you to the board. If you haven't already, check out the thread titled "The Texas Swamp Dive Team Gets Its Own page". My buddy and I are also in the Fort Worth area. Welcome to the board..I know you will enjoy...

Mike, We will try to get there on Aug 10. I will sign up on the Swamp divers page and I am letting my other diver friends know about the site as well. Laura

I love those big mask headed he-men, my heroes! Laura

Maybe Alison is just one of us short necks. LOL Laura

I'm still laughing, hyperventilating I think...maybe I should try wearing my mask over my mouth, like a paperbag. Okay, I know I'm setting myself up for cheap shots now. LOL Laura

Oh my gosh my sides are hurting. LOL Ha Ha Ha Laura

Cool! The Swamp Divers very own website. I will be checking in from time to time for swampy news. Wish I could go to PK this weekend with you all, but it looks pretty grim for my diving prospects. We blew all our dough in Grand Cayman last week (totally worth it) and school starts for my...

Good one Zagnut, I am really laughing out loud. By George I think he's got it! You boys are sooooo funny! Laura

Careful Gasman, them's fightin words. We Texans (and that includes transplants like me)think there are only 2 places on earth, Texas and not Texas. It's like the song says "When I die please let me go to Texas". I guess if Texas had an ocean it would be heaven! CHEERS NON-TEXAN EARS! Laura

Yeah, yeah just like Joewr said, I was being comical about the big heads, but if the mask fits... Hee Hee Hee Laura

I think maybe you meant in "your opinion" Rick is right. BTW, I don't remove my mask in choppy or rough water. Laura

This thread is beginning to remind me of the people traisping around on the dead whale with great whites feeding all about. They had to be protecting from their own stupidity. So I guess divers who manage to lose their masks should also be protected from themselves. However, I can't imagine...

Okay, everyone has an opinion of whether the mask should be worn on the forehead when not in distress. The consensus seems to be leaning to not wearing the mask on your forehead unless you want to lose it. This does not assist divers like me (and I know we are more than a few) who have been...

Thanks Walter, I've never heard of that solution before, but I'll give it a try next time. I needed a better excuse not to spit anyway. Laura

I agree the mask on the forehead can be a sign of distress and not necessarily always a distress signal. The one time I had to signal distress I pulled off my mask and swung it back and forth over my head to get any attention, I had already inflated my BC and I wasn't panicked, I just wanted...

Hi Natasha, Yes, the Aquacolor mask is the one I was talking about. I would like to try one to see if it is better colorwise than the Seavision. As for spitting in my mask, I don't usually do that, it just seems so uncouth. I think maybe the fogging has something to do with temperature, I...

I too try to drink plenty of water on a daily basis and of course before and after diving. However, I still have a bad time of dry throat (like needles in my throat) when I am diving. I just got back from Grand Cayman and while diving there just before hitting the water, I popped a throat...

I'm not sure what happened to my link as it is not working right in the earlier posting. I will try to repost it here and see if it works: Cayman pics Hope that fixed it, if not well I guess I'll try, try again. Laura
