Welcome from another W KY diver. Have you ever tried Mermet Springs; nice place to dive. Welcome to the board.

There is a shop in Waynesville called Odessey Scuba, phone 573-336-8684. I'm not sure if they keep regular hours or not. If possible, take all the gas you need with you. The links I posted should contain a pretty good description of the layout. Big nice cavern, about 400' of shallow tunnel...

I posted you a few links in the other thread (Muck Divers). MikeF pretty well covered the importand info. All things considered, I'd pick RBD for a first MO cave dive. MHO MikeF: Did you get the PM I sent you from DecoStop about a week ago????

Here's a couple: http://www.rlaird.net/cb_story.htm This link also has Roubidoux info; follow the other links. http://cavdvr.tripod.com/roubid.htm Lot of info here. Link is full of pop-up ads. http://www.the-offsets.com/history.htm Mine LaMotte info. Web searches for "Roubidoux"...

Cave buddies are a little harder to find than regular dive buddies, but you can do it. As already mentioned, check the CDF; also keep an eye on this section of this board and also the DecoStop. Local contacts may be your best bet. I'll bet there's a few cave divers around Chattanooga. Ask...

Have you actually tried the DIN with converter in the water on a dive? Before going all DIN, I used to use the exact same setup and had no problems with banging my head. I still use it when traveling without my own tanks.

Breakfast before a morning dive. Lunch before an afternoon dive. Supper before a night dive. Ain't no use missin' a meal.

My understanding on this is: You can take a reg that has been prepared for O2 service and use it with air or any other nitrox mixture, and it will retain it's O2 service rating IF it is used with O2 compatible air. It's the same principle as partial pressure blending; o2 is put into an o2...

I was there last week. Water temp was 49*. Vis was 5-30. The 5' was near the entrance; it cleared up pretty nice after a couple hundred feet. Interesting dive.

Welcome to the board, Kenny. I can't place where Oldham county is at. I'm in KY but in the western part of the state. We do a lot of local diving; you'd be welcome to join us. steve

Hey Daniel, Congrats on your OW cert and welcome to the Scubaboard. I'm in W. KY but do most my local diving at Mermet. I'd be glad to get together with you sometime.

I just got back from a 4 day trip. Peacock is good. I'm not a good judge a putting a number on the vis, but I'd say 40'. Very little flow. Go dive.

E-Bay. You can find AL80's for about half retail. Stay away from Luxfers older than '89, get one with current visual and hydro; you'll be good to go and saved $75.

I asked this same question on the DecoStop board before I put mine together. The answers I got over there indicated there shouldn't be any problems. They were correct; there hasn't been any problems. My tanks are both shot blast and make a pretty good looking set of doubles...

I've got a set doubled up with absolutely no problems. There was a VERY slight difference in the height of the tanks but no where near .7". They sit flat on a flat surface. Excuse my ignorance, what is Rule #6??

I was there Monday; cave was 58*, lake was 48*. We usually wear gloves with about half the index finger and thumb cut out; fingers get pretty cold out in the lake.

I've seen that statement written a few places. Not that it matters, but, WRONG, I found it all by myself on the first try. Just takes some good maps, a bit of research, and maybe a little luck. Nice report, I enjoyed the read.

Don't we have enough regulation for $$$$, no way do we need c-card expiration.

This is the key to buying on E-bay, you have to be a savvy buyer. 1)Know what you want 2)know how much you're willing to pay 3) be willing to wait till you get a good deal. There is a lot of brand new gear being sold on E-bay. Some of this gear is coming from dive shops at a lower price...

Trick me once, shame on you; trick me twice, shame on me. I ain't buying their stuff, ever. Besides, $300 plus trade for a new reg, is that a good deal? You can buy Apeks all day long for $300 and not worry about a trade. Plus, twenty years from now you'll still be using your Apeks while...
