    Dry suit help in socal

    Robyn, I parrot MHK and FishTaco. DONT buy a suit until after MHK gives you a lowdown on what to look for, how to fit it, what you need as a DIR diver. Secondly take heed to what FishTaco wrote! Go to a shop that is going to fit you for the rigors of DIR diving. You need to reach your...

    Farsworth bank coordinates

    Cody, what does it look like from the sky? is it just whitecaps, or is the water clear enough to see the pinnacles? My friend, we are going to have a blast on the 10th of June when we go there again. I promise as much fun on the SI as you two will have at the pinnacle. T

    Which spring straps do you use??

    Adding my two cents. Laura has some schweet Innovative spring straps that I use exclusively. http://www.123scuba.com/p-FNA408.html ALSO, she is a huge supporter of SB and has exemplary customer service. Although I have a blue H tatoo'd on my butt, there are some things that are just dog...

    5thD-X DVDs - Any Thoughts?

    Im just parroting Lynne and the fray. I humbly think they are the best DVDs out there in the diaspora. Essentials is a GREAT help both pre and post fundies. Now as I am traipsing thru the water trying to pass deco bottles and KILLING the whole team, it is good to come home, sit in front of...

    doubles besides AL 80's when diving wet...

    Thanks Lynne for stepping in. Yes, we are all guessing at the SAC rate Icarus, and I am taking in mind that 39 mins at 105 fsw equals you are going into moderate deco. I am chomping at the bit to go to 150 fsw BUT I am not trained for it. Dont overstep the inviolate rules. Have fun diving...

    doubles besides AL 80's when diving wet...

    Whoa Soldier! You are jumping the gun my diving brother. What screams here is that you need to get your sac rate in order (sub 0.75) and dont taskload yourself with stage bottles AND steel in a wetsuit. I am training for Tech I and am taskloaded to virtual failure with double steel 130s...

    Double tanks.

    Mike my dive brother, dont veer too off course with sidemounts, chingas that turn your valves for you. (and I am not JJ, so with the following advice your mileage may vary) The reason for valve drills is VALVE FAILURE! Heck man, go on and sit in your living room/watching TV with your doubles...
