My Bad sorry

Reck Diver, the Captain should of thrown you over.

Welcome, We have some great diving here in Il. What part are you in?

On the boat that I ran for the last two years, they had a section in the waiver that you signed when boarding the boat, stating no use of GPS. A lot of time and money is spent to locate some of the wrecks we dive out here on the Great Lakes, and to make the numbers public makes it very hard to...

I have had customers on my boat who are instructors, Divemasters, shop owners etc. Who I have seen roll off the boat with out the air on. They have the qualifications that say they are competent divers, but mistakes happen. I now make it clear to my crew that it is there job to check. If you...

You did say you are considering doing this dive. That sure sounds like if you got the info you were after that you intended on doing it. You did not start asking to take a cavern class until one was offered to you for free. I do not think I should be the only one in a cave, I teach cavern...

Lowviz saw it, here is a link to the Ginnie Springs rules. Full Service Dive Center at Ginnie Springs Outdoors

To the OP, why do you feel that you are able to do this, when certified cave divers are telling you not to? You are asking for trouble, If you aren't willing to learn to do this safely, please stay out. What about the guys you are putting at risk when they have to recover your body? It is...

Darwinism in effect, the world needs less stupid people. Its reading things like this that reminds me of why I only stop by Scubaboard every couple of months. I mean really? You say I'm not trained, and not going to be, but Im going to do this anyways. People DO die in these caves, some...

what does the computer have to do with tank size?

sorry for thinking this was a joke. I have heard of people using gravel to clean their tanks, its not what I would do but to each their own. But smashing coffee cups to put inside your scuba tank, to clean it, really? All to save a buck or two? There is the cost of these mugs that you should...

has to be a joke.

What you are seeing is a $2000 price for a open circuit/ closed circuit model, $1200 is the price for a unit that is only for open Circuit diving, you can always purchase a pin number at a later time to upgrade to the fully closed circuit model if you go the rebreather route.

great page I just shared on my page

It is Illegal to spear fish in Illinois waters, and in my experience the salmon are scared of the bubbles divers make and will be gone before you ever see them.

I would hope they are not using it for drysuit inflation. That would make for one COLD dive. Helium does not provide insulation well. I have many times put trimix in a single tank. I've used it for stages, sometimes decompression, side mount and rebreather bailout. So yes there are many...

Free Beer!!!

just what I was thinking

I have been diving a Shearwater for 2 years now. while at first I loved it, I no longer trust it, it is now my backup computer. It has been back to the factory 2 times now to have a depth sensor replaced and the mother board the last time. The problem that I have had, and my buddy who got his...
