A friend of mine uses one. She has tubes in her ears and the pro ear mask helps a lot. She swears by it....

I worked in general aviation, around private and non-commercial pilots, and I can tell you, regardless if they are certified pilots or or not, some people are stupid about what ever they do, be it flying, diving, driving or lawn darts. I think, even with the best intentions, the government...

I might be able to get there. Any problems with a rusty diver needed skills practice?

I've never done it in Guiness, in but other beers.

I am going on a cruise in a couple monthts, with all that down time, I'll want something to read. I am currently in the midst of reading the Navy Dive Manual (thanks Scuba-toys), and plan on taking GUE's DIR book (please no flames, just a curious rec. diver,) on the boat, but this one book...

My mother had polio, and because of of some 'therapy' when she was a child (throw the kid in the water and make her swim, even if it hurts and is difficult), she doesn't like water very much. Although she is far less troubled than the man in this story, she can walk but one leg is shorter than...

I am incredibly interested in DIR. I have zero interest in diving deep, mixed gasses, penetrations and the like, however, the common sense approach to diving, that I have gathered from my DIR reading, makes me wonder why in doesn't apply to mainstream diving. Granted, I was out of the sport...

I may drop in, depending on professional obligations, that weekend. How do I identify the Wreckers?

The guy at Inland Water Sports in Kingston (288-3999) is a great guy and ususally has someone on his training crew at either Dutch or Willow Springs. Give him a call or visit and I am sure he will be able to direct you to someone local that will give you a review. When you get back from...

I had been trying a bunch of masks. Some at the shop, and some in the water, on loan. I found a Tusa I like and a couple others that were great too. I also, almost as a joke, tried a mask from a mask/snorkel set from Walmart, labelled USDivers, that a fellow diver bought for the kids to use...

OT: Where in PA are you?

By no means am I asking to violate any rules. I am just trying to find out what exactly the rules are....

I was Cert-ed many years ago, but got away from diving for years. I did a pile of FW snorkelling, and eventually diving, (with a DM), prior to my classes and certification. I have been lurking on this board for quite a while, trying to learn state of the sport techniques, and review common...

I am in the planning process of building a housing for my old Sony 8mm camcorder. I have a 6" PVC Tee fitting that is my proposed foundation. I gathered some scrap pieces of Acrylic sheet from work (1/2" & 3/8") to use as the veiwing end of my housing. I would like to glue (IPS Weld-On 40/42)...

I am with scuba-punk. First Page is free and from my experience, bulletproof. No Microsoft overhead BS code like Frontpage, four levels of complexity,(Novice - Expert), that changes menus and options, and FREE!!! Evrsoft talked at one point about a FTP option for posting the pages but it...

This thread really struck me. As I learned diving from a DM, who lived in HI for 3 yrs in the Army. I know now, although he wasn't an "instructor," he is the one that really taught me to dive. LOTS of snorkelling, to the point of freedving by most standards, and finally tanks. Shallow...

How did you come up with the dims for the backplate? Did you copy an existing one? I have access to lots of scrap stainless and aluminum and would like nothing more that to try my hand at a backplate.

Wow!! I have been doing battle this evening with this same situation on my home PC. SpyBot and Adaware have been really good to me but it looks like it's update time. I thought it was the kids....

He was quoted right before diving, "Hey Ya'll, Watch This!!""

A would like to reiterate Brianwl's point of thanks from a vet. It's only been recent times, in my opinion, since the Kuwaiti war, that Americans have truely started to understand what our servicemen and servicewomen have done, and are doing for our country. While I do have mixed feelings...
