I'm trying to find someone to dive with on Sunday the 22nd. I'm taking the kids to the Dells over the weekend. I'd like to get in soem diving while in WI and I was trying to find someone to dive with on Sunday morning at Wazee.....but I myself would be a Wazee newbie(still consider myself a...

The trip is all paid for, the passport has arrived in the mail. Now I just have to wait. I will be taking a trip out to Cozumel this coming November. It will mark my first time out of the country and my first really big dive trip. Most of my diving has been lakes and quarries up here in...

On my checkout dive, the class was assembled around the perimeter of the training platform. Their was a bowling ball on the bottom of the quarry that the instructor picked up and we all took turns gently tossing it back and forth to each other. In an attempt to calm any new diver nerves. When...

Water level is quite high....roughly 7' higher than last year. South parking area was under water, north area also mostly under water.....a few parking places available. Vis was 15-25' Surface temp ~45 degrees @ 48' 40degrees(brrrrrrrr in a 7 mil.) 1 bass sighted

50 degrees is my "go diving temp" (using the 'conditions' link at Mermetsprings.com as my reference). Things are starting to get very very close to going diving again..........it's been a long wait.....Dec. 22 was my last dive...... It's been too long....I think a drysuit is needed for next...

I'll be down there July 20-27. I sent an email to the folks at Daly's Dock & Dive Center Has anyone used them before?

I don't know if I'll ever expand my needs to use them, but I believe you can add on to the Canon housing using ..... Inon AD Mount Base DC12 for Canon WP-DC12 / A570 IS [ino.admb.dc12] - $61.95 : Reef Photo & Video!, The Underwater Photo Pros INON AD Mount Base DC12 for Canon WP-DC12 #ADMB-DC12

What do you use to store your camera and housing when not in use? The instructions to my u/w housing suggest storing in an unopened position so as to not deform the o-ring(if left in a closed position. When opened, the housing can be rather bulky, I was just wondering if anyone had a nice...

The deciding point for me was cost. The Canon housing is more than half the cost of the Ikelite. In fact, the camera and Canon housing together can be bought for sub-$290. But I suspect the Ikelite housing is more versatile. The Canon housing is rated for a depth of 130', and I don't expect...

then i am off to Staples/Officemax to grab one that is sdhc compatible.

I bought an 8GB sdhc. My Canon A570 IS recognizes the card and I can grab the photos from the card when I connect the camera directly to my computer. However, my card reader is having issues with my new card. It seems the card reader in computer doesn't recognize or read my 8gb card. I want...

Yep, that's the one I was asking about. 40* is just a bit too cold for me right now.

ahh Pennyroyal. I know where you're talking about now. I did a treasure hunt there last summer(won a mask). Not a bad place. Sunken RV and helicopter were fun. Might get back there sometime in the upcoming weeks if it warms up a bit.

I suspect it is a different bluesprings, but I betcha the conditions are similar. Murdrcycle, I was asking 'bout the Blue Springs near Shelbyville, IN. Out of curiosity, where is the Blue Springs you listed?

After reading around on this forum, I decided on the Canon A570 IS. Unfortunately for me, I live in the currently cold Midwest, so i'll have to wait before testing out this camera u/w. I'm an average picture taker.....meaning, I usually take snap shots using the AUTO function. I'd like to...

Has anyone made it out to Blue Springs lately? What were the temps?

Those look cool. But when I clicked on the link......didn't understand a word of it....I think I'll need you to translate :).

When I was there, I stayed in the Super-8 motel....did a Priceline.com 'name your own price' for $38 (+ tax). We were the only group there that day, no classes were present. The light issue really wasn't an issue. On the first dive they didn't want anyone to use lights, as the lead guy and...

My fav is the next one that shows up in my mailbox

I forgot about this thread. But the issue was with the user (me). I had changed my sampling rate to every 2secs a while back. The download memory holds about 81 minutes of dive time for a 2 sec SR. Essentially what happened was my dive #2, and #3 of that day bumped the dive #1 from the...
