relax & have fun. you've done more prep then most students, if everyone was a thorough as your being scuba instruction would be a breeze. good luck you'll do a rock star job!

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. Aqualung recently came out with a new inflater system (the i3) which is a little lever on the...

I dove until recently with and Aqua Lung ABS which worked well for me. Its small and out of the way and unidirectional (word?) since it has the exhaust to the side. I recently upgraded to the Apex Egress which is pretty much the same thing except for the pneumatic balance and moved the ABS to my...

Personally I'd recommend a Diving Concepts dry suit. Also if you're going to invest in a dry suit get one with the ring system on the arms so you can attach dry gloves. The difference is amazing. Having warm hands on a dive is the best! I've also dove in the top of the line DUI suit (i forget...

The reason you were cold is who you were diving with. Mick is a cold magnet, thats why the water was 34 for you and 36/37 for me!

I was at Nubble on Sunday for two dives in the morning. I had 36 on the first dive warming up to a toasty 37 on the second with about the same luck on visibility. Luckily I was diving dry (with dry gloves!) so I really can't complain about the temp. There was a pretty big stonefish hanging out...

SeaSoft just came out with some BCD's. They have a pretty cool ideal of idea of having one BC that can grow with you or be adjusted to multiple divers. Personally I enjoy the idea of a simplistic BC. I was wondering if anyone out there has one. From the picture it looks like the straps that hold...

Another thing that seems very intuitive is driving. Most of us can get the hang of it within a few minutes behind the wheel by the time we turn 16. However, in order to get your license in most states you need to take drivers ed. The reason for this, as in SCUBA, is that you have a professional...

Thanks dawgdiver. I did look into eBay and Amazon as well, the only thing I could find was what rookers did the older safe scuba manual. I'll keep looking though, perhaps someone made an electronic copy of it somewhere.

Try using a waxing iron like those used by Nordic skiers. I know for a fact that they let things burn and I imagine you could pick an older one up on eBay. It would also be good because it has a flat, square bottom with no holes.

I was certified in 2000 right around the crossover between NASDS and SSI. I was one of the ones lucky enough to get a copy of the NASDS Manual (the one with the sea horse on the front) when i took the course. I love the book. Its easy to read but not foofy like a lot of the new manuals today...

many/most of the online discounters are not authorized dealers for most scuba equipment. This means that the factory will not warenty these items. Also if you are looking for used equipment check with your LDS first, many times they will have consiegnment items or be able to set you up with used...

I think I saw the show you were talking about... it was more about the bermueda triangle and they did a lot of scale models in a giant indoor tank and then did something where they sunk, or tried, a boat using air bubbles from a PVC matrix. I could just be confusing shows since i spend way to...

The guy at the DUI demo day (5-7-06) in gloucester said that these were designed for people diving repetative dives in warm waters because of the core body temp drop associated with being submerged for extended periods of time. Its on the same theory of wearing a wetsuit when diving in 80F...
