Archman, thanks for answering my questions. C-Dawg

I agree with those that recommend the Discover Scuba. In my area, the local rec. Dept offers them, and contracts thru the LDS. My LDS actually offers them for free to the Rec Dept, so our money is all going back to the town for programs. See if your area has similar. I have sneezed, hi cupped...

I may be naive, but I have a couple of questions regarding this subject. Is it true that the GG is overabundant in some areas, but in others are almost non-existant? If that is the case, rather than hunting them down, wouldn't it be prudent to relocate some from areas of overabundance to those...

Personally, I'd love to see Sam Eliot and Tom Selleck do more Westerns. They were good together in The Louis L'Amour adaptations like the Sacketts and Shadow Riders, but want to see them on the big screen and not TV movies. My favorite modern big screen Westerns are Unforgiven, Dances With...

Awesome pics. I assume it was dead when brought ashore? C-Dawg

It really depends on the person. I regularly dive in 34-36 degree water in just a 7mm suit and do multiple dives a day. However, I live up north in Vermont, and go hunting in the winter in a sweatshirt ( with a henley underneath) and wool pants when it's in the 20's and 30's, so I have thicker...

Just dive, get comfortable in the water, and work on your skills. AOW is just expanding on them, so getting the basic skills down to second nature will enable you to expand upon them easier. IMO, comfort in the water is by far the most important, otherwise your fear, however small it is, hinders...

I think losing Comrie and Preising will hurt Ott, but after signing Emery, there's no doubt who's team it is, so I don't think there will be a goaltending controversy in Sens land. For whatever reason, the Sens have always had the Habs number, right down to the first time they played ( fall...

My LDS sells a thin neoprene sock that Deep See makes. Here's a link. http://www.deepseeinc.com/products/neo_dive_socks.html I know a few divers who need half size boots ( 8 1/2 or 9 1/2 ) that use them to help their boots fit. They seem to like them. Good luck, C-Dawg

Here's a link to a thread where we discussed Scuba books....enjoy! http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=190791 C-Dawg

Sad thing is, I liked Souray, but he wasn't an All Star as the media said he was. He was a defenseman who was weak defensively and needed to be paired with a strong defensive D-man who could cover his liabilities. He had 2 things going for him, he had a booming, accurate slapshot, and he was a...

Souray was a defensive liability and nowhere near as good as Markov or Kommy. He made more highlight reels for having forwards deek him out of his socks than he did for scoring goals. With Souray acting like a human pylon, and Abby giving up rebounds like they're free tickets to the circus last...

I'm happy with what the HABS have done this offseason, got rid of dead weight ( Souray, Niminaa, Samsonov, Bonk, Johnson, Abby), brought in some veteran leadership that is defensively responsible ( Hamerlik, Smolinski), and left room for the kids that just won the Calder Cup. Should be a great...

I loved my old Pacer XL also, but retired it about 2 years ago when I couldn't get parts locally. Do a search here on SB for the thread regarding the Mares "deal" to those who got screwed for buying a Dacor reg with lifetime service. Their deal was a joke. Someone asked me in the thread what I...

That's not entirely true....New England, Michigan, Minnesota and other northern states are very much hockey hotbeds, and there are a lot of Northerners and Canadians in Florida that follow, but sadly not to the extent of the other 3 major sports. Personally, I can't see the interest in the NBA (...

Not sure if the Ducks have the speed or firepower to keep up with the Sens...but the Ducks definitely have the edge in goal. This should be an interesting Final....Go Sens! C-Dawg

79 lbs...Wow, that's awesome....trying to lose about 35 lbs myself...not easy. C-Dawg

LOL....CoolTech....I had to laugh reading that. I did 2hrs 9 min on an AL80 (came out with 600psi) and wore only a T shirt and a pair of swim trunks and never got cold. But, I'm sure after I move to FLA in a few years, my blood will thin and I'll be a WWW too. ( no offense ;) ) Nice haul for...

Good luck...dove at Alhambra a few weeks ago and had a 3 great dives, lots of teeth and bones, but no megs. Let us know how you do. C-Dawg

What about trying the Bahamas? Blackbeard's has sloops, the Cat Ppalu and the Aquacat, so you have options on price and area. I did the Cat Ppalu a couple of years ago which took us thru the Exumas, and it was awesome diving for an affordable price. Check out my pics from the trip. C-Dawg
