    Diving Earplugs?! What the...?

    After my 4th cert dive, both my Eustachian tubes collapsed and I couldn't dive for about 5 weeks. The vented valves were recommended to me, and I tried them on my next dive. By the time I got down to about 20 ft., my ears were hurting badly and I removed the vented valves. Haven't tried them...

    Panic Attacks?

    I think they are fairly common. I've been diving for slightly less than a year, and I've witnessed 1 panic attack and 2 near-panic attacks. Also, on my last check-out dive for AOW (120 ft. in a murky lake), the dive was rushed and didn't feel quite right from the beginning. I managed to get...

    Masks with a Purge valve

    My primary mask has a purge; my back-up mask doesn't. For me, one is about as easy to clear as the other, but I feel the purge valve is one more thing that could go wrong (though I haven't had a bit of trouble with it so far).

    O-Ring Questions

    I just had a tank O-ring fail, luckily it was on the surface (when I was connecting my reg). It started me thinking; how common are O-ring failures at depth? Anyone here ever experienced one? If so, could you describe what happened?

    Morrison Springs Questions

    Thanks for the info, everyone! Steele, if you'd post that phone number, I'd appreciate it. I expect to combine Morrison Springs with a trip to Ginnie Springs in a week or so.

    Morrison Springs Questions

    At the present time, what are the hours of operation of the springs? Are they open every day? What does it cost to dive? Is there a phone number? What facilities are on the premises? (restrooms, air-fills, changing rooms?) Are divers required to use a flag? Are the springs now being...

    I really like my Aeris Atmos2 console purchased from ScubaToys. I agree; talk with Larry.

    What did you buy that you regret?

    Reef Master DC310 camera along with numerous accessories. I was all ready to love this set-up, but it has been nothing but problems from day one. I'm all done with Reef Master products!
