    charging double to fill hp 100 tank

    I could see an additional charge if it was nitrox because the 02 can be expensive but not for regular air or even hyper air. Also double even for nitrox seems pricey, id think an extra $2-5 max.

    Dry suit basics

    I second that for the NE. Everyone I know dives with a 7mm hood with no neck flap (designed for dry suit diving) so that it doesn't flap around and flush well diving. I have seen the latex hoods though, in the shop we have an old viking rubberized suit with the attached hood, its no longer...

    I wonder how deep this is and what it contains?

    28' now 25' thanks to three feet of muck. Probably a gun down there from some long forgotten crime. Dark, cold, and no visibility. Sounds like fun (no sarcasm). I wish I had one in my backyard.

    Ice on Winni

    I'm supposed to be doing an Ice Diving class through Dive Winnipesaukee on the 24th and the 31st. Originally I would have been done by now but the course has been bumped and moved around for several weeks by now. The theory, as far as I know, is classwork on the 24th and diving on the 31st. I...

    Once a gas hog...

    keep your hands still. the only thing they really do is waste air. some people fold them across their chest, others clasp them. the main idea is the less excess movement the less your body has to work and that uses less oxygen making you breath less.

    DUI Dog rally question

    Awesome, thanks Steve! I'll defiantly be down to check that out, probably on Saturday since I'm stuck manning the store on Sunday's but you got to pay for it somehow.

    When in May is this happening? I went last year and would love to go again. It was a great time.

    What is scuba diving's orange shovel?

    I'd completely agree. That's where most of us started (and still are). Its fun to talk about all of the things that we find useless and to joke about, mostly sense it used to be us. For the most of us its not an attack at new divers, scuba's a fun sport and from what I've found extremely...

    Lightest Regulator Recommendations

    makes sense, thanks! I probably won't be worrying about it anytime soon though seeing as the price jump to titanium is a little much for me

    Lightest Regulator Recommendations

    other than the plane restriction.... what is the point of purchasing a titanium reg (or anything) in scuba? does it work any better or differently? It seems like an awful lot of extra money to spend for a little less weight. and plus, if you have an extra pound attached to your cylinder thats...

    Open Water Dives Next Weekend... What Else Can I do to Prepare?

    random last minute thought... depending upon how cold the water is bring a thermos of hot water if your diving wet to pour in before, that way you already have warm water in the suit and don't have to warm more up. You can also do this between dives but be careful as you're probably wearing the...

    Dry suit basics

    some things I'd look for on a suit are how much insulation I need to fit under it. In the NE it tends to be more because its chilly up here. If I'm spending that much money on buying my own I'd want to have it custom made so I know it fits well. Look for a good durable dipper. Also a dry suit...

    What is scuba diving's orange shovel?

    Well I like my dive t-shirts from resorts. Possibly because I'm broke and can't really afford to travel so when I do I like to bring a shirt back that I can remember it with. As for the "pig sticker" every now and then I break out my "shark stabber" with its 8" blade but its not like I actually...

    First "Real" BC Advice

    I dive with a Zeagle Ranger and like Divedoggie I have a medium waist with large shoulders (tall and skinny is hard to find a good fit in others). I love this BC and wouldn't trade it for much else. I don't think it has knife grommets on it but to be honest i haven't looked for them since I keep...
