Never dove with a dive flag. What am I missing?

If I had the problem, first thing that I would do is buy some motion sickness pills and start taking the a day before I went diving. Other than that maybe you could jump in the water a few times during the SI. That helped my Bro on his first couple ocean dives.

For my entire life I have had a problem with converting things from the printed page to reality. In all my years, 72 of them, it has been much easier for me to see something done once rather than to decipher it from print unless it was something that I was really interested in and could readily...

Yep. If I see a couple turtles on a dive, it's made my day.

The only time I panic underwater is when I realize that this will be the last dive for a month or so.

That's easy: UTILA.

Since most recreational dives off a boat with a dive shop last from 25-30 minutes with a 'deep' dive, like around a hundred feet and a 'shallow dive' which could be a 30 feet reef, I go by this procedure: For instance if I am diving a ship like the Speigle Grove which is about 125' to the sand I...

I go to the Y pool a couple times a week and do 1000 yards in laps. This keeps me going.

Uh-huh.

2011: I have remained upright and breathing in the morning. 2012: Hopefully, the same.

I always dive with a guide, either a DM or I make sure that my insta-buddy can get us back to the boat fer shure. That way I don't have to bother with the navigating since I can get lost in a one-chair barber shop.

Well, I guess I might as well head on down to Islamorada then if it's that good.

To theduckguru and davemohio: Like I said: If I was fifty years younger. Beanaz I'm 72 with fallen arches and a sore a** most of the time, first off I'd fly down, not ride my Sporty, and have enough money in the bank that I wouldn't have to sell out and could afford to sustain myself. Other than...

Do lemon sharks take like lemons or what?

Hey, that's great. Same as around here. The forecast is for the temp to get up to around 31 by Tuesday and some of the ice might be off by then so the water temp should be around 33 or 34 degrees. Can't wait.

Suggestion. Here's what I would do if I was 50 years younger: I'd sell everything I had of value and couldn't carry on my Sportster, buy a rubber butt ring and scooter on down to Key Largo (Second choice Lauderdale area), find someone to share an apartment or room with cause I couldn't make...

What are these guys talking about?

I stay out of the water any time after it's "raining cats and dogs".

My number one safety rule about diving in cold water is: "Stay out of cold water."

The 'magical' thing that happens is that about three to four hundred of your hard-earned dollars leaves your wallet and goes into the bank account of a cert agency and dive shop.
