Since in open water diving you can come up any time you hit your NDLs or run low on air all you have to do is keep an eye on those two things. You don't need a plan anymore sophisticated than that so why bother? Sometimes my plans are as simple as come up when I get cold, thirsty, run low on...

I do it almost every time. I call it treasure hunting. Usually it's nothing but beer cans but sometimes I find something good. Sometimes I find crayfish inside a bottle or can and I toss the aninal back in the lake but the can goes to the dump. I won't tolerate trash if it's not too big for me...

That's amazing y'all got a group together big enough to need three boats.

I'm going to go diving and not care about what I call it after the fact.

An air pump would be nice. I cancelled a trip there because there wasn't space for all the tanks we would have needed to carry. And getting fills from outside sources are inconvenient.

Snot is slimier. Usually.

Looks the same as the Texas lakes I dive in.

Saliva.

Slick setup.

Captain Beard gave me some great dives.

Nice photos.

A long read but a good one. It makes my life seem even more boring.

Always bring a torch if low vis is possible. It's not to see where you are going but so your buddy can keep track of you. Bigger is better but even a small AA torch is better than nothing.

They said that because they want you to pay them to get on their boat.

I'm handing out certs for lugging around my tanks, dive bag, and drink cooler for the low price of free. I'll provide snacks and you can drink my beer too. Any takers?

PADI has no shame.

I've done rig dives and I enjoyed it. Every diver should try them at least once. They are one of the few things you can do on a weekend trip without going to the trouble of flying. Prepare properly (seasick meds and full coverage wet suit to avoid stinging things) and only go if the weather is...

So that's what diving is like in Norway. Fascinating. Thanks for publishing the videos.

Thanks for the tip. The next time through I'll try to steer my gang that way. I visited last Saturday but I didn't learn much of use since we grilled some burgers because no one knew a good place to go. I saw a Pitt Grill and a Mazzio's Pizza. I thought those chains shut down in the 80s. It's...

I never eat in Athens but they must have some local (non-chain) restaurants that are good. After an Athens Scuba Park visit what's your favorite restaurants to visit?
