first off, congrats on keeping a cool head. secondly, i'm a newb to diving, so please don't take anything i read as a flame of anyone--i'm just trying to get better info so that i can be a safer diver. anyway, i'm wondering if once your buddy realized that you were heading to the other line...

never had the snot problem, but i've had the pee problem many times. that is, after finishing a dive, i rarely have to empty my nose, but frequently have to empty my bladder--only to find that somewhere, the plumbing decides not to work until i'm out of the wetsuit. on one of my ow check out...

the player kept stopping on me after playing a the video for sec or two. does anyone know what's going on there? btw, i'm using firefox, if that makes any difference.

newb diver here...so haven't seen much...weirdest thing i've seen so far is a toilet in the head of the sea tiger off oahu...or, maybe the rapidly shrinking ocean bottom, when i hit the bc inflator button instead of the deflator button. :)

during my ow class, i was told that doing the arms crossed thing is a good way to help prevent the things dangling from your bc from bumping the underwater environment. as a newb diver, i'm still working on making that position reflexive. :)

i don't know about the rest of you folks, but i always dive naked...under my bc...and my wetsuit...and my board shorts... :)

yah...i'm guessing sharks (like lots of locals in a "tourist town") aren't keen on hanging around with tourists. :)

also make sure your nostrils are clean before you squeeze. if you have dried and hardened mucus built up along the insides of your nostrils, it's possible that by pinching your nostrils, you could cause an inadvertent abrasion to the tender skin on the inside of your nostril, which could result...

that's pretty cool! it's a good thing they thought to get a pvc pipe...then again, we might have finally know the answer to the riddle "what is the sound of one hand clapping?". :smile:

if that's true, that'd be pretty cool...here, i just thought i had an awesome dream where i somehow ended up with a pet shark. :) hi walter, are you diving in the same areas as before? do you have any guesses as to why you're seeing more sharks now? (assuming that it's because there's an...

funny you should mention that. one night i dreamt i was diving when i found this great white shark she was a tiny little thing; very cute. she was about the size of a puppy dog. i fed her and played with her. later in my dream, i was on another dive trip far from my last dive site when i...

so long as the gangs don't get their hands on bikes...it looks like the high cost of fuel has caused drive-bys have to become ride-bys in la (2 shot in bicycle drive-by outside South Los Angeles house - Los Angeles Times)

i'm pretty much up for anything that's tasty and low-cost...pretty much everything you've listed sounds goooood! i think i'll probably hit them all up on my next visit to oahu (should be august)...i have no known food allergies and i generally eat everything (well, within reason--i draw the...

as an fyi, walter has posted a list of questions to ask instructors before signing up with them. if you do a search of his posts, i'm sure you'll be able to turn up the list. i wish i had read his list before i did my ow dives, but as it is, i think i had a pretty good instructor--at least i...

hi grounded...are you funning with us? or are you seriously going to recommend a non-swimming friend of yours that she should participate in a dive? if you're question was intended seriously, then i'd recommend that your friend learn to swim before she does the discover scuba course. once...

:rofl3: funny... :rofl3: i was actually beginning to wonder if i should just go to youtube and look for the link there! i guess i'm just a little slow. :dunce:

:rofl3: that was hilarious! it reminds me of monty python at their height (see e.g., the dead parrot skit). if oz humor is like this, we need more oz humor in this world! :rofl3:

"silly rabbit, trips are for kids!"

hmm...sounds like there may be something to this gang...how do i get admitted as a member? i'm asking purely for "infiltration" purposes of course. :ph34r:

here's a link w/some notes about the discovery channel show mythbusters: Annotated Mythbusters: Episode 43: Seasickness Cures, Finger in the Gun Barrel, Tailgate Gas Efficiency do a ctrl+f for "seasickness: kill or cure". the results showed that among the non-pharmacological remedies tested...
