Is there such a thing as a "nice dive" at Stage Fort??? I mean, I only go there when everything, including area birdbaths, have been blown out. SFP is the ultimate booby prize for me. I've packed all my stuff, drove all that way, and if I'm that determined to get wet, I'll dive there. It's...

Dude...It doesn't appear that you laughed at my joke. I'm hurt. I've used several 02 analyzers that didn't appear to work well unless air was being "pushed" through them under pressure. Also, if you check a tank with an analyzer at the dive shop, I bet that you can find a plain air tank...

It goes without saying, but when you analyze, remember to use a "control tank" of plain ole' air. This makes sure the analyzer is functionally accurate. Just my .02 about 02. OMG HOW AM I SO CLEVER!?!?!?!

Hi. is a chamber ride what I think it is? How many people actually end up in a decompression chamber? Anyone want to share stories? I don't think I'd want to dive with the sort of person who has generated a term for their trips to a hyperbaric chamber--I mean if you go so frequently that...

Folks--here's another concept about an advanced diver. Let's make a rule: If SOMTHING hasn't gone wrong underwater in your presence, you aren't really advanced. Once you see how you react--then guage whether or not you're advanced. Just throwing that out there. Not trying to be a jerk.

Pilot--since my comment WAS accurate, your statement intrinsically states that it is great. Thank you for the compliment! Of course I checked with both my health insurance provider. They seemed suprised I even asked. The attitude I got was "of COURSE this is part of your policy." And...

You and hubby need to focus on getting it right in the water. Get it right there. Worst case: He fails the test--there is a re-take AFTER every question answered wrong is discussed between the student and teacher. Tell husband to focus on: Planning his dive (check his work) then diving...

So I dive in New England. How do I get listed as New England Lobstah divahs instead of new member? (NELD is a group here, sorry if I didn't spell well) Also, how do I aquire more stars??? Apparently, my comments have all been 1 star comments. HELP ME OUT! I LIKE THIS PLACE! But I'm not...

Before I went off on my world wide "dive like a mental patient" adventure, I made sure that getting bent was covered by my health insurance. It was. DAN is a great thing to have, I use it myself to expedite service. But realize that most normal health insurance covers diving. Use DAN? You...

I'm not an expert in steel vs. AL, or a chemist/metalurgist. How about we do this: Get a separate O2 analyzer in there. You seem rather a scientific sort, but you only have used one analyzer, which makes it a variable. Also, note the tolerance +/- % for each reader. Oh, and use a tank of...

I'm going out to visit my brother in Cairo--he's promised that he's going to abandon me in Sinai and force me to find a job :D I only speak English and some French, and I have not gotten my DM yet. A guy with a lot of information about Egypt said to get the cert there--it will be cheaper. Is...

Have we discussed DIN versus K valves yet? I'm just curious b/c I am cheap--I'm looking to find a tank with more capacity than a AL 80, but I want to stick with my sherwood 1st and 2nd stage.

I'm not sure...I don't have a PADI cert to take a commuter boat or penetrate tombs. I'm sure PADI has a class for that though! Seriously tho, thanks for the tips

I'll be visiting Cairo during 1 week at any point over the next 6 mos. When would be a good time to dive the Red Sea, how far are the good dive spots from Cairo? I guess I'm clueless about the geography, logistics, everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't forget me! Divermatt-Boston

Does anyone have any contact information regarding the reef repair work going on? I'd love to take part, but I don't know who to call. By take part, I mean get down there, put on my rig, and get down to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Matt

I dive out of Boston. What the hell is wrong with you? I would have been in a suit and a tee shirt. And I'd brag to my friends how warm the water was. WHY are you into diving dry?

Wow...It would seem that everyone likes their computer! LOL! Of course, we all like our comps, or we'd be using a different one! To be honest, they're all very similar, and (hopefully) provide the same safe result. I asked a National Georgraphic documantarian about what computer to...

yeah, but I've "done the time" and I'm serious about the hobby--is PADI too into the logs? I mean do they really need the type of diver that writes down every experience? I'd rather learn from an experienced diver than some ************ who never did anything he was afraid to put in a precious...

I'm big on diving, but not big on diving logs--I'm usually into the challege of a dive, the awesome reefs, the amazing sealife...but I do not keep a log. I've recently been thinking of getting my Divemaster cert. I have more than 80 dives of all kinds, and I love helping people learning the...
