...at least until a moderator sees this. It's not too hard to rack up 25 posts by actually participating on Scubaboard.

1. Monkeys wear fur coats in the summer, which is a stupid thing to do. 1b. [some] Divers wear wetsuits in cold water, another purportedly stupid thing to do. 2. Humans not wearing fur coat in the summer. Comfortable and smart. 2b. [other] Divers wearing drysuits in cold water. Comfortable and...

Well, shoot. I'm sidelined diving-wise until the stitches dissolve. Thanks for posting this, though!

I just wanted to say that these are excellent suits, and that's a great price. I love mine.

Nothing wrong with analog gauges. Sounds like a good deal to me; you could even recover some of the initial investment here or on e-bay.

Just a last ditch effort bump, in case anyone has any they're willing to let go. Otherwise, it's off to that link I go (tomorrow). :) Thanks! Edit: Shoot, they're out of stock.

It's my understanding that this is addressed in the Rescue class. Someone better qualified than I can address this, for sure. My thoughts anyways: If someone's panicked and shooting for the surface, chances are they're forgetting to breathe, or holding what last bit they have left in reserves...

I think that the amount of air one releases from the kidney pull in a situation like that can most likely be compensated for by adding air to one's own BC if the person affected starts to fall, and if they're not already able to add air to their own. If one's close enough to purge the kidney...

Yeah, that is a good deal. I'm hoping to find a beter one used. :)

Just bought a backplate, and need a couple of cam straps to secure the wing and tank onto. Anyone got an extra pair they wouldn't mind getting rid of for a low price? Drop me a PM.. many thanks! :)

Nice! I love the ray, and look forward to seeing your work with nudibranches. I think nudi's are my favorite so far, looking so alien and foreign.

One thing you may not be aware of is that Fibromyalgia typically is an "umbrella" diagnosis. When everything else has been ruled out, and the symptoms are consistent* with the category of Fibromyalgia, then that diagnosis is given. *I highlight this because two people with FM may have radically...

When you say "lower caverns", are you referring to overhead conditions in pool 1? It sounds like a fun dive, although the tunnel in pool 3 concerns me. How far can you go in before finding yourself in overhead? I may have to go check this out this weekend. It's my last chance to dive before...

Look forward to your report. Perhaps you can start a new thread about Meadow?

Thanks for chiming in, Tobin. We've actually talked already, last year, and these were the two wings you recommended for me. Now just trying to figure out my preference. :) Actually, now that I review our emails, it looks like I should go for the T26, based strictly on the lift. The donut...

Nice, I'm jealous. :) I enjoyed the feeling of not having to inflate my BC at all when doing my specialty checkout dives in a local crater, but I don't think I have any minimalist mentors around. Looking forward to not inflating my wing. I need to move to the coast and find some of y'all. :)

I wanted to get peoples' opinions and feedback on these two wings. I'm having a tough time figuring out which would be the better choice for me. In your experiences, which style do you find better and why? The LCD 30 has a zipper, while the other does not. The Torus 26 has an air pocket that...

Oh, no! Heh. Valentines day.. hmm, hope nobody was bouncing on the platform. :) When entering the area, facing towards the water, which side lost the hot tub benches? It's fortunate that there were no divers beneath, that could have gotten really ugly.

Lynne, I read the OP as saying they are annoyed with new divers who will refuse to dive with someone UNLESS they are more experienced than them. Puts those of us in the 25-99 dive range out of luck for finding a buddy to dive with.

Welcome to Scubaboard! :) I'd love to hear about your experiences with Warm Lake in Idaho. Where is it, and is it worth a trip up? What's the temperature range, and is it geothermal? Sand Hollow wasn't bad in a wetsuit/hood when I went in October. It was about 62-63 degrees for me. I don't know...
