Glad to see I'm not the only one who's suffered the machine gun style chomp of the earlobe from these little devils. It seemed that I was the only one suffereing from the ear attacks today. Everyone else was just getting thier toes or fin straps nibbled on. I think I'll be depositing a couple...

Its ok everyone. We've decided to put in a "piranha cage" to protect the divers. while this may limit the movement around the quarry, we will be able to guarantee experiences with these vicious yet elgant creatures. All you need is to chum the water with some ears and they'll be there for you...

I didn't mind my blades much, I've used that style fin my whole life. I have the ones like tammy mentioned where they're really stiff on the outside but have a slightly more flexible rubber portion in the middle that allows them to bend. They're nice, and many times I would catch myself blasting...

***** happens man. I know I may not be the most experienced (far from it actually). But I'd say its not the brightest idea. If somethin does go wrong, you pass out for whatever reason, equipment malfuntion, one of a million problems that could happen... its always nice to have that buddy there...

In the process of getting my PADI OW cert right now. Be finished tomorrow. Out of all the shops I checked out and instructors, all were PADI except for one who was SSI. And I looked in three different STATES. Ended up choosing the PADI cause through my research and everthing it seemed to be the...

Video was pretty informative. And definately filled with some very waxy ears. (especially that old dude... damn) I dove again today with no problems. Just ascended a couple feet if I had troubles and it all went smoothly. Still got the weird water in the ear feeling and had to bang it out of my...

Yet another diver who underestimated the deadly rushing attack of the infamous kentucky priranha. The numbers of deaths must be staggering based on my limited experiences. My condolences to the family. Haha.. that looks all too familiar. Balsy little buggers aren't they?

Well lucky for me the injuries are minor, I should pull through. :11doh:But I'm thinking about filling out a new will for tomorrow. Just in case.

Everything went excellent today. I had an absolute blast and the vis was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. I figured it would be about 8-10 feet but it was actually closer to 15-20. They've been runnin the pump all week and the water is super warm. We went all over the quarry and...

Ok... I thought you were kidding. Or perhaps you were talking about the video posted on the joe's website where they fed the fish an ear. But... While standing on the platform going over some mask drills, they were quite literally biting my friggin ears! throught the rest of the two dives we...

I did my first open water dive at the quarry today without any problems. Everything went well and I had an absolute blast! Still got the water in my ear though. I'm wondering if its from a previous injury that I got in Iraq. It had healed and I haven't had any problems with it. I can still...

:D I watched the video. Very nice... or are you being serious?

Not sure about my current zen level. I'm pretty stoked still from the pools dives tonight. Guess I'll have to re-arrange my room a bit. try to center my chi and get a good fung shue goin. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully all goes well!

Ok, well tonight during my pool dives we were down in the deep end on working on boyancy and practicing our skills. We were taking our time, getting the hang of it and just enjoying ourselves. My instructor started doing flips in the water, then hung upside down with his arms out staying...

Hello everyone. I've spent all week going through the process of finally "officially" getting certified. Its been a learning experience (although other than the pool sessions I had already picked everything up and more off this board!). I will be doing my first set of checkout dives tomorrow...

Looks like a pretty nice place to dive. and only about 4 hours from me. Not too bad. Might have to spend a weekend up there soon.

Ok wait... They're not going to stop until its endanged. Pretty much saying "we'll continure slaughtering them to the brink of extinction thereby almost guaranteeing that they're whiped from the planet. Why stop in time to make a difference. There's money to be made!' That just might be the most...

Did something pretty close to that during my pool dives tonight. toward the end of the night, after going down, doing a skill, comming back up, then going back down, I got into a rythm. On one of them, I went back down, went to suck in some air, only to find out that my reg wasn't in my mouth...

These are the exact same fins I have. I haven't had a a whole lot of experience with them but they're pretty nice. Its very convenient with the clip to take them off and get out of the water. Only thing that worries me is when that clip break, I'll have to switch to somethin else cause I haven't...

I don't have a drysuit or a thick enough wetsuit to do pennyroyal right now. How's mermet as far as temperature? I'd love to get a little more diving experiences than just cerulean. I was actually thinking about heading down to panama city sometime around labor day weekend. Anyone intersted? I...
