I started my youngest diving when he was 8. He took to it like a natural. But after further consideration of the unknown risks... and a few SB talks with Walter... I decided it would be best to slow down. So... for the past 6 years... I've kept him in the pool.

I was fortunate to witness something during my recent cave training in Tulum. I say fortunate because the mistake was an example of a huge error that cavers are never supposed to make... one that kills. We were lucky to see someone do it during our "class'... someone not part of our training. He...
I just can't get over the wonderful cave photography of Art Malone (azcaddman). If you haven't had a chance to see his work you should check out his website: http://malone-az.com/pix/v/Scuba/Mexico/ This is really fantastic stuff. I can't think where I have seen better photos of underwater...
So... how much did it cost you to become full cave certified?
I haven't added it up yet but I can estimate that it easily cost ME about 20 grand over the past 2 years. This would include gear, training, and trips to training land. This is just an estimate of my direct expenses. I would guess...

Highlights:

The hike through the jungle in full gear to Ho Tul. The...

So... what ya got? I looked at your website and your pockets seem like they might do...
Since starting with my trainer last December, my life has changed. I feel GREAT. I have more energy, strength, flexibility and stamina than I've had in the past ten years.
Today was a measurement day and... it was a good day. I am holding my weight at 172. Waist is down to 34 and hips 36...
Congratulations to Scubajcf!

I've been playing pong with three buddies every Saturday night for over a year. We thought we were pretty good but lately it seemed that we had hit a wall and we just weren't getting any better. So, we decided to start taking lessons... what an eye opening experience. Lesson 1: we learned we...
