Your best bet IMO is to challenge a physics major, hydrodynamics engineer, or somesuch who is an avid diver to expand this area of research, possibly to the dissertation level. The type and depth (no pun intended) of research necessary lends itself to academic research, if appropriate protocols...

I just wanted a turn. :D Perhaps, if we want this disussion to move in a constructive direction, we can focus on defining precisely which wing configuration, and which stab jacket setup, are considered the most streamlined in their class? Then we might be able to more objectively look at the issue.

Well, you just introduce me to Olivia Munn and I'll get the job done... ...then I'll bring up Shark Week with her. ;)

Heh. An acquaintance of mine from another board is very passionate about sharks, and posted this. I told him I'd repost it over here for the fun of it. He isn't a diver yet, but is talking about getting certified. He's in NC. --- So... I want to host SHARK WEEK For...

oop. Atticus beat me to it.

I misread at first. Oops. To my knowledge, both PADI and SSI have crossover certification equivalencies. Most places will let you further your education despite who you've gotten your initial OW cert with. Find an instructor you like, as others have mentioned. I might also add that if money...

Noooooooo. She knows how much stuff REALLY costs!

Wow, Walter. Heck of an experience! I'll have to share that one with my wife. She was watching Shark Week earlier, and I took the opportunity to educate her about playing on the surface of the water. That essentially if you look like a freakin' seal you're liable to get eaten like one, too. :)...

This is a travesty, a disgrace.

Wooooo I'm excited! My dive shop brought these in, and I just picked them up last night! Just ordered a DIN to YOKE adapter and can't wait to hit the water with these. They have a little weight to 'em, but the mouthpiece feels comfortable and it breathed nicely at the shop. Looks very nice, not...

Come on over to the Rocky Mountain Oysters forum and say hello to your fellow Utahns! Too many dang Colorado people there, we need to balance things out.. ;)

No, not yet. *sigh*. I'm waiting for some new regulators to come in at my dive shop. I've also been extremely busy with my family - for a summer, there sure is a lot going on especially when you have a kid!

As morbid as this seems, does anyone have a youtube video illustrating these concepts?

I went to Isla Mujeres with my wife one year, with another couple. The four of us wanted to dive, but conditions would not permit; in fact, diving was only permitted by the harbor master *one* day the whole week we were there. We got out there and did the first dive; my wife was seasick from...

How was it?

Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the JubJub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!

I found a bicycle tire, sprockets and all, abandoned behind a dumpster when walking my dog. The innertube worked perfectly for my harness webbing! :D

Though they let water in, they reduce the rate it comes in, thereby having the benefit of allowing the ear to get accustomed to it, as well as to warm up the water from your body heat. At least, that's my understanding of it. I've tried 'em and at the first sign of ear discomfort, I ripped them...

Come now, "effin nuts" should only apply to water below 50 degrees. :D

*laughing* Ahh, it's fine to dive with a wetsuit! (Granted, I dive a 7mm Bare Arctic..) Meadow it is, unless anyone knows of any other nice thermal vent diving besides the Crater within decent driving distance of Pleasant Grove? Sand Hollow is out, since that's way too far and way too long to...
