I respectfully disagree. Look at the SEI master diver program. It is a "earn" as you go (as I am sure you know). I been diving for sometime now, well over 500 dives. I am going to be taking the master diver program with Tom Leaird this year for I beleive it will increase my skills. It has been...

I also dive the blizzards and most of my dives are cold water. I never had a freeze up on my blizzards since I started diving the blizzard back in the 90's. I keep the IP at 125 which is the bottom end for the Sherwoods. I had grapefruit size ice balls on my 1st stage and it was still bleeding...

I sat in my wife and three sons class when they were certifed 10 years ago. We had a blast during the class and I always learn something new when I sit in the OW classes. SandyBramm: My son and I had a GREAT time diving with you three weeks ago. You really run a top notch operation.

Thank you for the info. I will be sure to reach out to Pura Vida upon my arrival. Is there a web site for the tides? How far is the swim from Phil Foster park to the bridge? I went diving yesterday in 37 degree water. 70 degree water is warm for us cold water divers.

I am going to be diving Blue Heron Bridge middle of Feb. Other than the water being so warm, is there anything that we need to be aware off. I was told that Phil Foster Park would the entry point?

I am going to be heading down to the Vero Beach area and Key West area the middle of Febuary. Is there any shore diving that is worth while during this time of year? And if so, with lobster being in season, how is the lobster hunt this time of year.....

Do you have any info Ken. Are you looking at car pooling? Do you have any prices on the dives?

okay I cant stand it anymore. You dont dive in the hard water, you dive under the hard water.

It is really just what you make of it. I dont pull the ice out. I use a chain saw and I can cut a 6' x 6' x'6' hole with 12" thick ice in abour a half hour. This includes sinking a single ice screw and attaching a binder to it. I have seen divers pull the ice out, use had saws to cut the hole...

Why do you pull the ice out of the hole?? I just cut a triangle and use a firemans pike and push it under the ice. When I am done for the day, I use my line tending rope and wrap it around the block that is shoved under the ice and pull the ice back into place.

When is the meet n greet and what is the last day we can vote??

The other two quarries are frozen so Gilboa just may be frozen also. Gilboa is only open the first and third weekends during the winter months. If it is frozen over, I'll go on the 16th.

If it is going to be cold, might as well have some snow and ice to play in. I am always looking for a buddy to ice dive with. My two regular dive buddies keeps wimping out on me each year. Rich at White Star was kind enough last year to let me dive with some PSD's last year that were there.

When the door opens and the rush of air and noise overtake your senses (not even looking outside at this time) will even get ones Epirephrine going. The ole fight or flight senses are taken very literally here.....lol

For some early ice. Come on temperature, drop and STAY there...........

A thrill or rush is all relative to ones perception. Riding a roller coaster can give someone a rush and they may see themselves as a thrill seeker. Riding a motorcycle could give someone a rush and see themselves as a thrill seeker. Cave diving, wreck diving, ice diving comes to mind on SCUBA...

I jumped out of a plane on scuba once. I even have a picture to proof it....

From the USPA website: The sport of skydiving continues to improve its safety record. In 2009, USPA recorded the fewest fatal accidents in the U.S. in almost five decades—16 fatalities out of nearly 3 million jumps made by over 32,000 USPA members and 400,000 first-time skydivers. In...

Sounds like you got hurt skydiving. What kind of flying did you do?? Scuba diving is a whole new world and if you are looking to be intrigued, this would be the sport for you. If you are looking for a rush and dont want to skydive anymore, try rock climbing for a rush.

The last time I looked at the stat's, there were a lot more deaths in SCUBA than there was skydiving. I believe there were 54 skydiving deaths in the world with 23 being in the USA. Several of these were suicides. I'll take my chances with skydiving for staying safer.
