Well while a "couple thousand" dollars may be nothin to some, I don't make anywhere near enough for that. spending 25 thousand dollars in 1 year on diving... I barely make that in a year. I'm actually looking forward to going to afghanistan this spring just so I'll be able to save enough money...

Over the past few months, as I've been doing research and reading the board, I've noticed how truly expensive the "sport" of scuba diving could be. If you factor in certification, gear, entrance fees, tank fills, traveling, boat purchase, so on and so forth, this can be quite demanding on one's...

Good info! Thanks! As a new diver I eat stuff like this up. Got plenty of land navigation skills from the military, but need all I can get with the underwater portion.

I've never even heard of a "stone fish" Are these prominant in all waters? Certain depth? Time to hit up google image finder.

Awesome video. Incredible experience I'm sure. The narrator sounds like the guy who does the budweiser commercials on the radio. Very professionaly done video. Keep them commin!

Thanks Dave. I'm hoping to check around post and see if there already might be a dive club in place. If not, who knows, maybe I'll see about gettin one goin. My military experiences have helped me respect things like scuba and go about them with a reasonable and mature attitude. Hopefully I...

Thanks for the info everyone. Didn't realize I hadn't updated my profile since SB went down. I'll check out the spots everyone suggested. I'll be diving quarries primarily because of my location. I've seen a few people driving around base with dive flag license plates on thier vehicles. But...

a speedo and a "fat people suck" t-shirt... Kidding....

I'll probably do just that. The LDS here in clarksville dives one of the local quarries just about every weekend, guess I could always just tag along there, plus I'd get plenty of refreshers. I was just curious about people's feelings on having random "insta-buddies" as I see them called...

I've been surfing for years but always on the east coast. I have a 3mm shorty and a 3/5 top that I wear with board shorts. These have always been plenty to keep me warm. Now, I don't live in florida anymore and will be primarily diving in quarries around the Ft. Campbell ky area. Does anyone...

A little background. I've been planning to get certified ever since my discover scuba experience some months back. I keep trying to get someone to get certified with me so that I'll have a dive buddy when I want to go. Only problem is, they keep pulling out or aren't able to afford it. So, I...

Martha's quarry in pennsylvania? I'm guessing you're talkin about a different one. I used to go cliff diving out at martha's quarry in high school. Definately wasn't a scuba site then. Little off subject, but someone mentioned it, how far away from clarksville tn is pennyroyal? I keep hearing...

Wow... someone else who's actually heard of john? interesting. Dreamtheater fan as well I'm guessing? Thats great stuff to listen to for getting amped for a dive. Not that you should really need any help... I mean, who's not amped to go diving?

compression shorts. comfy and enough to keep your sensitive parts shielded from the eyes of unlucky onlookers.

Says its been deleted! any way of gettin it back up?

Wow... thats rediculous. I can't believe how calm all the divers stayed. I would have been geekin out. Good thing everyone kept thier cool. I'm sure it made for one very memorable dive. Awesome footage! Keep it commin!

congrats on the reenlistment gatorkev. Definately beats mine. How did you get the photo on AKO?

Was just checking my email on my Army AKO account and the picture on the main login page was of a re-enlistment ceremony on the deck of the "O". Pretty cool stuff. I think I remember a thread about this a little while back. Was that one of the folks off SB? Just thought it was pretty cool. You...

My cousin worked at sea world doing that very thing. She did it while she was going to school for her degree in marine biology. Didn't pay very well but like others have said, its more for the experience. I think it would be a pretty cool job to have. Especially if you could get involved with...

Had the same exact thing happen to me on the flight home from Iraq. I got a perforate ear drum from a roadside bomb about 2 months prior and while popping my ears on the flight back to the states it popped and then had a hissing sound and a weird ringing. It bothered me for about 3 days and...
