I'm doing a charter this weekend, want to see if it's accepted :)

"I wear a 5 mil wetsuit and 4lbs of weight and I am perfectly weighted." Assuming the above is "perfect" meaning neutral-at-500-psi, and refers to fresh water, so that you're going from cooler fresh water to warmer fresh water, it really should be no issue, particularly if you have any level of...

Please do try a search -- it's a frequent topic. I dive a 19 CF, back mount, using what's called a QuickDraw mount. It's convenient (for me), travels well (I take it on vacations), use it when deep and/or with a buddy I'm unfamiliar with. Since it's both a pony, and back mount, I must have...

The "Post Quick Reply" button to log a response seems to be working slowly, oddly. I'll wait 10 seconds, it doesn't seem to be doing anything, doesn't return me to the thread. If I then go and check New Posts it does show the response was logged. Thanks!

Bought my Divemaster March 2005, when I got certed. Very happy with it, seems quite durable. I like the fit much better than a trilam. The only negative was I had a problem with seam separation on the neoprene wrist seals. One of those weakening problems, not a sudden failure. ND made good...

Dumb question, perhaps -- why not ask your LDS to do it?

I'm kind of tempted to recreate the accidents and incidents report for the Mexico Point "training" fatality. It was an example of the dangers of playing Instructor when you aren't, diving beyond skill level, in an unfamiliar area. Sad, but a lesson for others.

I've been quite happy with my Casio Sea Pathfinder, pretty sure it's the SPF70. Depth/bottom timer, temperature, solar powered, barometer, compass (the compass isn't able to really do continuous readout, best I can tell -- it's good for taking single-shot bearings). It's "only" rated to 100m...

Cool -- get to go through Memorial Day and 4th of July a second time, with the SB time warp :) Thanks SB -- it's good to be back.

Red fur, a long nose, and a goofy grin :)

Goatfish -- you could just wear the antlers :) Heidi shares.

I need some warm water :)

Yesterday was my day off -- only snow-blowing. Otherwise I've been consistent -- > 50 min cardio per day, not losing any weight :)

I'd probably go with air, given your stipulations of breathing hard and 130'. Otherwise, for a full 130' and staying within 1.4 ATA, I could use 28%. Then again, I personally choose plain old air for my pony. Like in so many things, it's a case of one's degree of risk averseness combined with...

On my suit, the wrist neoprene did not need to be folded, while the neck one did. I found the neoprene wrist seals just didn't last on my suit, unfortunately. They were superb warmth-and-seal-wise, but they ended up splitting on the seam. Switched to latex wrist seals -- not as warm but...

Hmm -- would this be like "Branded", some kind of formal ceremony where the diver has his C Card broken over an Instructor's knee? How would an OW cert be pulled, given that at least one (and I suspect most) of the main OW cert agencies has no expiration date on a non-pro card? I can just see...

Mask R&R can be tough, but definitely doable with practice. Nice looking dog, goatfish :)

50 min last night, nominal 1150 cal.

Yet another fifty min last night :)
