Hello! You have just entered a realm of the world that will will most likely consume a great deal of the rest of your life. For most of us here it has become an addiction (of the legal kind) That is unless you start selling kids or body parts to fund it.:rofl3: Just kidding, but really, you will...

Hello from all of us here on the board. You will find some good advice as well as some VERY opinionated advice. Most of the people here are very helpful and will help you the best they can. As far as the first thing to buy, training. As for gear, a mask and snorkel, for hygiene reasons. Fins are...

:popcorn:Congrats!!!:popcorn: Rermember to dive within your limits! NEVER let someone talk you into a dive you're not ready for!:no The life you save may be your own. And again, CONGRATS!! Joe

As Bill stated, Hoodsport'n'dive will be able to hook you up with gear and most likely a buddy. I will call Ron and give him a heads up that you will be looking for a dive buddy. There are usually divers around to dive with. As far as the viz, my buddy had a class last weekend at the Yellow...

Ok, so here's the deal, because of the P-valve, the suit has been put through quality control for not one pressure test, but two which has (no pun intended) put a hold on it. The suit will be shipped out tomorrow 8/14 and will be here for next weekend. Sorry for the inconvienience, but better to...

Yes the guys at Whites are here for the customer! We/you asked, and they answered, the tamed down tech version is in the works. Should be available sometime after DEMA. Oh yeah, HAWK, your suit should be in this Friday.:D Joe

Ya know Hawk, Cujo jr. was checking out those ankles when you left the other day. Hope that suit makes it in Friday so we can dive this weekend. There nothing better in my eyes than to simulate a sticky inflator valve and send someone to the moon from 20'-30'.:rofl3: Joe

As net doc has stated, and others have seconded, looking up stretches out your tubes allowing you to clear easier. Also, as net doc said, EARLY AND OFTEN. I find that pretending my mouthpiece is a big wad of gum, and chewing usually works for most people. Another trick to use is put your tongue...

They make neoprene drygloves as well. Neoprene gloves can be adapted to most rings, but the rubber gloves seem to be more popular. As stated above, the blue gloves make it very easy to see hand signals. If you were using black gloves, how could your buddy see you give him a signal like this in...

Hello ALL, For all divers coming to Central Oregon, there is a new shop in Redmond. We offer an assortment of gear, rentals, air along with mixed gasses, and SDI/TDI training. If your looking to dive the high lakes, stop by and give us a try.:D Or, maybe you already live here and are looking for...

As stated above, most advanced open water certs allow you to a 100' depth, some are easier to get than others. Through SDI you can get what is called advanced adventure diver cert. which is the equavilant of PADI's AOW.(5 more dives, 1 of which must be deep and 1c must be nav. the other 3 are up...

"Walts wall" this SCREAMS arrogance. It is a wall that I'm sure Walt himself did not build. The dive site is a descent structure in the lake, and if you follow it around to the south and beyond you will run into another mass of rocks. Maybe I'll call that "Joe's rocks" no, I don't think I'm all...

To start with, diving in aquariums is a very satisfying job. Without the volunteer divers the tanks would be a real mess. I've been diving for the Oregon Coast Aquarium for the past two years and have had some real great times. I've also encountered some real political BS, but if you keep in...

Thanks for all your opinions, you have helped me once again. Atomic will hopefully be on the lineup also. I'll keep you all posted.:confused:

Well, then I guess I'm in for another 5k in the hopes that my market will bear the expense. Thank you all for your input, I expected nothing less than good input from the SB locals!

I won't be diving Aqualung anymore, considering. And if I were concerned that all my clientel were reading this post I'd be pretty worried. I was more looking for opinions on what others that may have Atomic regs thought of their performance. But thanks for lookingout for me, I guess I won'tbe...

I'm starting a new shop in the Central Oregon area and am looking to sell Oceanic, Zeagle, and Atomic. After looking at the prices of the Atomic line, (OUCH!!) my question is, are there regulators really worth the money? I've been diving Aqualung products so far, but a competetor has a lock on...

I can't believe this is still going! For one, do we really think it will do a HILL OF BEANS anyway?:confused: For two, figured that someone with let's say 25-100 dives would have had it all figured out by now.:rofl3: Oh, by the way, it was GREAT being able too put faces too some of the members...

Well, considering the lakes at home are frozen and the ones that aren't are 38 or so. So 46 is WARM. Joe

Thanks for the guided tour today, oh yeah, you weren't there. But with that dive brief I thought I was on a guided tour. Your brief was spot on. This dive was like a tropical dive for me, water was warm and I was surrounded by nudies. What more could a guy ask for? Can't wait too meet you you...
