In searching for info on a new computer, I have developed a severe case of confusion. My AI EON is no longer AI so it's useless (bad sensor or something). I fell in love with the Sherwood Wisdom which gets good reviews here. My husband does not like an AI computer and thinks I should go...

Could any of you happy Liquid Fit customers give me a ballpark figure for what a hyperstretch kind of suit (like a 5/3) for a short full figured kinda gal would run? I love the zips on my Mares 3 mm but need a slightly heavier suit too. Thanks Robin

[Hi and welcome to the board Who is your LDS? Sea Divers in Ozark are fabulous. I used to live around Enterprise and used them exclusively. The computer I bought years earlier when I lived in TX just died and Sea Divers tried every which way to get Suunto to do right by me with an upgrade...

Hi and welcome As a charter member of the Bad Sinus Society, I can attest to the benefits of regular irrigation with salt water or spray (you can get bottles of spray in any drug store). Snort early and often, not just when you are having problems! Robin

Welcome back from the Great Waterless Beach and thanks for your service, too. Robin (also a reservist)

Hello from south central Alabama! My beloved dive buddy (also known as my husband) is from Brno (hello Jeff too!) but spent only 10 years there and then moved to England. I have dragged him from England to Alabama--talk about culture shock! We visited Brno and almost got to Slovakia in...

Hyperstretch is very bad for pilling. Normal wetsuits don't really pill badly. Robin

Thanks We have all the qualifications needed but no one ever asked us if we had a preference, so we asked about the wrecks, finally. Just have to ask, they said. Guess you have to ask when you book the trip, not on the boat. Seems we always get on the boats with the first-time divers...

Just curious, how do you get to the wrecks? We've been to KL twice and dived the same reef spots each time. Do you need to specify when you book the charter? Woulnd't mind diving deeper than 28 feet (since my ears hate shallow depths!) Robin

When I belonged to a dive club in Spokane WA we developed signs and put them up at as many boat ramps as we could. We ran some PSAs (public service announcements) which were shot by a local TV news crew and our club divers. We also printed up brochures to leave at boat shops. We also tried...

Hi and welcome Nice beach, eh, but where's the water??? What service are you in? If AF, chat a lot with the flight docs...you'll find many are also divers and can give you advice. If Army, well, there's no telling! Robin (USAFR)

You did well. IMHO, newbies should dive with experienced divers for a while, which is sometimes tough to arrange. But it helps calm the newbies down to be around people who know the terrain. However, I have 660 dives and none at high altitudes so I would call myself a newbie on that...

I am still laughing over this, BUT (no pun intended), I mentioned it to a friend today who said, swearing she was NOT making it up, tanning salons where you can get a spray-on tan will airbrush a set of abs for you! She said it's a bit of trompe l'oeil and obviously it "works" better for...

Just got a new bottle last month but now it's made by Bausch & Lomb (as someone posted iether in this thread or a similar one but I'm too lazy to go look for it). Called, in concise terms (NOT) Acetic Acid 2% in Aqueous Aluminu Acetate Otic Solution. Hmm--I'm Robin and I will be your...

If you're PADI, they'll do it for an additional $20

Ah, teh same Emma who posted the note about college scuba--where are you in Gawgia? Robin

Well Emma Others have given you lots of info but here's my take: I'm a total klutz. I got roped into taking scuba because everyone said how wonderful it was underwater. In training, my gear didn't fit and I was sure I was going to either drink teh ocena in one day or kill myself in some...

3 weeks ago bottom temp was about 74. I had a 2 mil shorty over a skin and was almost too cold to continue the dive. I really wanted my 3 mil full suit. Others were diving in 3's, shorties, bikinis. Depends on you. I was told it was 80 at depth. It was 74. Robin

Casey Sorry to hear that! Are you seeing an ENT or just a general practitioner doc? An ENT might be able to figure out which antibiotic is best, or if you have another problem making it worse. My ears give me problems too, but I use Domeboro's Otic or equivalent on dive trips (even short...

THAT's the secret...I knew there was something I needed to do before diving to make myself look like the mags. I bought all the gear and just didn't get the look! (yeah, right) And, honestly, I prefer bright red to pink but it does fade faster so I do like pink. Just not head to toe! Robin
