Down on the Chesapeake all we use to catch them is a long piece of string, a long handled net and a chicken neck for bait. Cold beer does help the process along too. Ty

Rule # 1 Either buddy can call the dive, for any reason, at any time. Rule #2 Dying doing something you love is better then dying from Couch potatoitis Rule #3 Women are always smarter then men and when you learn that, life is a lot more fun. Ty

So that's what women do? I was wondering why she kept kicking me all night long. Man are my shins bruised. Ty

Dancer Welcome to diving and the board. Lots of great advice on here for new divers and a lot of great people too. So are you looking for dive buddies up here in the Northeast, or are you leaning only tward Warm Water diving. If you want to dive up here there are a number of us who dive...

On a dive earlier this month I was the only diver using a single and no stage bottles. Since my dive was going to be the shortest, I went in the water last. As I went down the line there was a semi-circle of stage bottles around where we were tied into the tank. It was actualy pretty cool...

Wow UP, I bet you never get tired of hearing that... Given these were rentals, they might need to be adjusted too. I know rental regs are usualy good quality but they get knocked around quite a bit. These might need to be tuned so they don't freeflow as easy. Ty

My dive Last Sunday was cancelled last Sunday because my GF wasn't feeling well... and me being a good boyfriend... I hung out with her. So now I need a dive. I have this Friday, Aug 23 off from work but I couldn't find a boat going out that day. Any of you Jersey divers know of a boat that has...

Tom I know you have been having trouble with your VR3, but when it's working do you use it as a backup to your decoweenie schedules... or do you dive the schedules and have the VR3 as the backup? Ty

No Jeff... They were just carrying GUE cards and the chamber operator wouldn't let them in. OK, sorry, just had to do it :jester: Ty:thunder:

You know, no one wants to unzip my drysuit as it is now. If I have any more gas escape during a dive I'll have to drive home in the thing. Ty

For those of you in the Philadelphia area, the NJ State Aquarium is in need of Volunteer divers. Several people in our dive club volunteer and say that is is hard work but a lot of fun. You do three or four dives a day in the 20 fsw tank. They do require a one year commitment of two 8 hour...

My LDS just started pumping nitrox. He has the stik and a formula that allows him to only charge for the O2 added to your mix. If you come in with 500 psi of 32% and want it filled with 32%, he charges you for an air fill ($5) plus $.50 / cuft for the O2. All in all it's the best price in the...

The benefits as they were explained in class are: 1. If you dive to the NDL limit, then Nitrox will give you better bottom time and can shorten your SIT time. 2. If you dive nitrox as you do on air then it is safer. 3. It extends the depth at which you may get narced. 4. Generaly...

There has been a number of post about Pony Bottles on here recenly so I thought I would be safe to ask another question. At my Nitrox class last night the instructor mentioned some new Pony mounts that were removable at depth. The idea is that you are able to hand off the whole pony to...

While it is not DIR most divers using singles around here rig their Pony on the right side. If a canister is used then it is rigged on the left. As I said, it doesn't live up to the DIR gang, but that's how I've seen it and it works for me. Ty

So, when you give birth, is a Sprog sprung? OK I'm not here either... and I bet they don't let me back in :( Ty

I had never heard of these books, or of the incidents. I'm going to have to check them out. Being in Jersey I love reading books with a local connection. While reading "Last Dive" it was interesting not only having been to many of the places thay talked about but having actualy met some of the...

Is it "Close to Shore: A True Story of Terror in an Age of Innocence" I found it at Amazon Ty

There basicly was no concensus. Some felt as bengiddins said the the paying customers had first crack, so it wasn'tt a big deal... others that the crew should of waited until we had our second dive... Hmmm... Kind of sounds like some of the debates on here. And yes, jbd, a communal...
