I don't know what places you have available for practicing, but the tip that helped me the most was to extend my thumb & pinky, put my thumb to my chest & my pinky on the platform then swim accross the platform.

IMHO Whatever works best for you is the way to go. Buying the one with options for both setups sounds good to me. Diving is like any other hobby and I always believe that the marketing pros know their stuff. I'd start with functional and move into pricey once you really know what you're...

Seems I'm always a day late - dollar short, but heck in my family Bdays are a week long event. Happy Birthday!!!

Y'all are fantastic!

There was a GREAT step by step tutorial on how to fix shots a few years back. It was about a 6-10 step process that you could save to automate the pic fix that involved mega layer manipulations that was way beyond my brain capacity. In the steps you'd create a B&W then a Red rendition. In...

Hope to see ya at the pond soon.

TxIceDiver has got it pretty well nailed. If you start at the double platforms & head 90* until you get to the ravine, just follow the boulders North & you'll be there. The elusive gator is another story altogether. I've seen him (her), but I must have made a bad impression, because...

I haven't been there in years - mainly because it's about a 4hr. drive & I don't have access to a boat anymore. That's where I did my 1st dive. 70ft and who knows how long. Charlie (the guy who taught me how to dive) was the guy with the boat. Hell's gate was always a blast because of all...

I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may humiliate myself.

OK I aint no brighter than the last time. Why do I still believe computer generated messages????

Holy mack!!! What a blast from the past. (Sorry TwoBit, but every pic I tried uploading from our FG trip kept giving me errors)

5mm is a good choice for a 1st suit. It's thick enough for below the thermo in most Texas lakes, but you won't sweat if you decide to stay shallow. A couple of things to consider; get one with ankle zips - you'll be glad you did, especially with a 5mm or thicker suit - and make sure you can...

Foo you're ALWAYS sooooo sweet & considerate. The whole point of TSDT was to give local divers a way to find somebody to dive with, if they didn't have a dive buddy. The shirt falls right in line with that if you ask me. As for the copyright worries, TwoBitTxn (or Texas Mike - I can't...

Don't know if you're still looking, but Triple L has some really good pricing on custom wetsuits. I bought a 5mm hyperstretch w/ankle & wrist zips for $180 and it fits perfect. They also have standard sizes for under $100. scubaL.com - Scuba Gear and Diving Equipment Store

I've been using an Armitron I bought at CVS for the last 4 years. It has BIG digits that these old eyes appreciate, but is still compact. I paid something like $20 and it's still ticking along.

Well somebody pick a day. (and a place) After the last few months of constant campaign news, I really don't care what the popular vote count is - bring on the super delegates!!! OK, I've been gone for awhile. Would somebody please explain how we've sunk to the point where I'm now...

Congrats Dude!!! (and to you too, P.) Now be a good Daddy and try not to teach her any of your habits.

Congrats! Being in love is fun - love with commitment kicks it up to an entirely different level.

If you head 90' from the double platform, you'll come to the ravine. Just turn left at the boulders and follow them. It will bring you right to the coffin. From there you can go straight North and it will bring you to the large boulders by the plane. The gater is what I can never find...

I can't Friday, but Sunday is good.
