    Altitude Drift Dives

    100m is a small altitude change. I'm assuming depths would be so shallow (<30ft) that blowing your NDLs would be unlikely anyway. According to my EAD higher altitudes mean less time at a particular depth so I'd plug in the highest altitude and the deepest depth you'll experience during the dive...

    Altitude Drift Dives

    I guess you could drift dive down a class 5 white water river but getting bent would be the least of your worries.

    Roatan, pronouncing it good

The people I meet in Texas usually like the three syllable version Row-ah-tan with the tan sound the same as sun tan lotion. I assume...

    Roatan, pronouncing it good

    That's how it sounds after a six pack of Salva Vida. At least the first guy who said it got the "tan" right. ("tan" rhymes with the name Shawn.)

    Mammoth Lake visibility seasonality

    I've read what few reports there are on Mammoth Lake and I couldn't see much of a pattern in the variability of visibility. I'm curious if there is a time of year where the vis is most likely to be at it's best.

    Dallas / Ft. Worth PADI Self Reliant Diver Course Availability?

    I'd get on the phone and call the DFW PADI shops. It's a short list. None of the pros (or DFW divers in general) I know pay much attention to SB.com.

    Central Texas in need of a new Dive Buddy

    This site isn't so good for finding someone to dive with. I've had better success on divebuddy.com. If I lived that close to Stillhouse Hollow Lake I'd just go to the marina dive shop and hang around there when the outside weather is nice. That's the closest air fill and potential buddies will...
