Well, we did it. The sailing class was great. Learned how to tack, gybe, do man overboard drills, how to sail in the rain and even how to set in the boat and hope for wind. First, the school was great. It's Chesapeake Sailing School in Annapolis. Kathy, who runs the school was wonderful and...

Wow, now that's a school I would rather just vist then be enrolled in. Are dive knifes optional? Ty

I guess "Future Dive Site" isn't a good choice... Just kidding of course. That's too long :jester: Ty

"But Honey, I don't need to go to the doctor... It's just a little bump... look , get me a match and a needle and I'll take care of it myself.... " Ty

For an Uncle Pug class I 'll be there... drysuit and all.

Huh?

Thank you O-ring No, I haven't taken the class but I did buy the book. To tell you the truth, I have been a little scared off from the whole DIR thing because of all of the retoric. I've learned to dive from old school Jersey wreck divers, which raises a lot of emotions in people as much as...

If I am on a boat it usualy stays on my face while I'm in the water. When I get back on the boat I usualy tuck it inside my fins whick then get hooked to a D-Ring. If I am at the quarry I tuck them in my fins for the walk into the water then put them up on my arm while I put my fins on. Oh...

Wow, it sounds like I'm going to have to learn a whole second language. We got our gloves over the weekend. My girlfriend has her shoes but I still need to get mine. I was thinking about the foul weather gear since they are calling for showers this weekend. sounds a bit like gearing up for...

I started diving a couple of years ago after taking the kids to Key West on spring break. While there I bought the kids mask and snorkels and ended up taking over one set myself. It was unbelievable just snorkeling around off the beach watching the fish and conch in the clear water. The other...

Hi Lisa I have the enclosed 4" Golden Reel from Reef Scuba. To me it's a good all around reel for doing everything you want. I mostly use mine as a penetration reel. Service at Reef Scuba is great and the reel is pretty bullet proof, although it may be a little bigger then what you are...

There are a number of dive operators out of the Atlantic City area, but at this late date they may be full. Then again with the holiday weekend you might be able to get on a boat. You can try the Miss AC at (609) 926-5353. If you can get up to Long Beach Island, LDI Scuba runs dives on the...

I would think that Seal or Ranger training would be more of a means to a end... one dive.. get to some place... do what you had to do. Regular Navy training would probably be more intensive, but their basic class shouldn't be too far off from PADI or NAUI. Types of gear, dive planning, gas...

I bought it last year and have 30 or so dives on it. I like it. Easy to read and all of the info I need. Ty

I've used the patch a number of times (OK, I get seasick in the bathtub) Most of the times it stays on with no problem. I'm diving cold water so it is under my hood when I am in the water. I think I've only lost it completely once and another time it came loose and I just reapplyed it. I...

None of the above post mentioned the most important ingrediant to cook a crab. You should add a beer to the water before steaming them. At least thats what we do when cooking Chesapeake Blues. Here's a link for catching and cooking them. http://searay.50megs.com/cooking.html Ty

The TP II isn't really barebones; it's back inflation that's a bit more comfortable then a full fledged BP/ wing set up. You can add pockets or even weight pockets to the set up if you wish. It's a little more expensive then a BP set up but it might be more comfortable for your girls. I'm diving...

Dive Rite has a kids program for the TP II. You can buy it to fit your kids now, then upgrade the componants as your kids get older. I'm thinking about it for my son next year when he gets certified. Check out http://www.diverite.com/kids/dvegear.htm Ty

I didn't personaly get to go on this trip, but several members of the dive club did. The went out of Moorehead City and tagged 6 sharks, I believe. They had bad weather so they only spent one day tagging. A cool thing was that a film crew from National Geographic went allong and filmed the...

Yeah, Maryland Blue point crabs. Tie the chicken neck to the string and throw it off the side of a dock or bulkhead. wait a little while, have a couple sips of your beer, and then pull the sting up slowly. you will have one or two crabs hanging onto the chicken neck. Just scoop them up with the...
