I have been on the Nautilus Explorer to Port Hardy. And it's 6 days of diving, 7 nights aboard the boat. The extra day is either the day you disembark or the day you board. The diving is dependent on the current. You only get 3 dives a day, when the current is slack or turning. There is...

It all goes in the bathtub. One of these years I'll get the plastic trashcan so I don't have to carry dripping dive gear down the hall,through the kitchen and out the door. Then every thing gets hung on the track of the garage door. I'll get a bar somewhere in the garage soon for that too...

Last Saturday at Lake Tahoe I was in my new DUI drysuit, custom fit, and wanted to do valve drills. I couldn't do them with my old Drysuit. Well, got to 25 feet and right ear wouldn't clear. Rats! I really need to practice valve drills before going to Florida the end of this month. So I...

I enjoy the difference in diving caves. When I got my bouyancy dialed in it all clicked. I got hooked. I admit that I started because of my snuggle buddy. He was an adamant cave diver. So I dediced I'd try. He taught me Cavern but that didn't get me ready for Intro. That kicked my butt but...

At Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay, under "Boat Camp" I saw a piece of brown ?leather? sticking up out of the sand. It was a Timex watch and it was still ticking.

I'd do the medication and dive the liveaboard. I did it about 4 years ago and want to go back. It's worth it to see Wolf and Darwin. We saw numerous whale sharks, even close, hammerhead sharks (there is a cleaning station at Darwin for them) and more sea lions than I could count. Also silkie...

You want it bungied at your neck if an OOA diver grabs your primary out of your mouth. Yes - it does happen.

Or four or five (women) I'm attempting my Apprentice on 11/25 & 26. And my first dive after I got intro was 1,000 ft back the peanut line at Jenny. My Intro instructor whipped around and looked at me strangely when my dive buddy said that. I know - why not all four days. I got my you know...

I have asthma but nobody knows it - that's how controlled it is. I've been diving for 21 years and never had a problem. I would be concerned if I had to use an "emergency" inhaler and then dived. The one time I did, I sat out the next two dives. It's just not worth it. My asthma is...

Welcome. I hope you are taking a few "refresher" courses to help get back into the sport. Since you are in Kentucky you are real close (at least from my area - the right side of the map of the USA) and want to go to cave country. We will be there 11/22 - 12/30/10 I'm trying for my Apprentice...

I traded my rock boots for high topped tennis shoes with my DUI drysuit. I bought jet fins (which I love) for wet suit diving and didn't want to buy another pair for the drysuit. I just have to be careful to pull the foot up tight so I don't get that painful toe squeze when I put the tennis...

Try your post on Cave Divers forum. (Cave Diver's Forum - The Cave Diver's Forum Front Page) I'm sure you will get an answer.

Try lying on your back on the floor and lift your knees (so your back isn't stressed) with your feet on the floor. Then breathe in using your diaphram. That is "stomach" breathing. If that doesn't draw the air into the bottom of your lungs, I'd suggest going to an allergist. It could mean...

I'm also interested in the Jet fins - if they are size large - enough to fit over DUI's rock boots.

The Channel islands are wonderful this time of the year. The water is the warmest in October. I've dived Kona once and the Channel islands at least 30 times, all boat dives. Yes - you need to invest in a 7 mil and warm gloves and booties and hood. Or you can rent for the trip. There's a...

I'm glad I refreshed this page before I posted. As usual Lynn, you hit the nail on the head. I was going to recommend he find a qualified technical diver. You already did the research for him. Good for you.

Or you might look just outside of Ventura Harbor on the bottom. I've lost 3 there. I get so excited about going diving (I live in land locked Reno) that I put my rig together and forget to put the regulator bag back in my dive bag. Yep - once the boat gets underway, it blows away. Last time...

That makes me salivate. We are going to be there in November. Thanks for the report.

I used a rolling bag for all my stuff until reacently. It fell apart so I'm trying another way. My diving is the liveaboads out of Ventura or Santa Barbra or San Diegio. I also do local diving either Lake Tahoe or Blue Lake on the NV/UT boarder. I've also picked up Florida and Mexico cave...

Twin steel HP100s. I', 5'8 and it's going to be fun getting on the platform in pitching seas and then up the ladder to the deck on the Peace Boat 9/3-5/10 I'm going through this torture so I can feel comfortable when I do my Apprentice cave in November.
