I'm trying to get this to as many people as possible so it's here, but if another place would be more suitable, feel free to move it. From the Undersea Journal, First Quarter 2009 (page 103) Special Notices: July-September 2008 Aquatrophics, USA; Please note that neither David Holt...

Operators in P'cola are letting people go to the deck with AOW? That cert is to 100' and even with the Deep Specialty it's only 130'. 150' is outside recreational limits, you should consider some sort of extended range program if you want to dive that deep. Rachel

Lots of factors, actually. Natural insulation plays a big role as does basic cold tolerance. I think the major factor is what people call 'cold' as a sensation. After living in the tropics for a few years, I'm cold if the mercury dips below about 78 and put on a long sleeved t-shirt or...

I don't get to take pictures very often, but I dive a lot :D I'm sort of a Luddite when it comes to photography. I'm perfectly happy to make the adjustments to the camera to get a good shot, but I sort of don't believe in post-processing. I want the shot to be the picture. No amount of...

Right, but the maneuverable vessel has to yield. A dive boat that is covering drifting divers is not subject to the 'boat approaching the starboard side, blah blah blah' type of regs. R

A boat with divers down, displaying proper markings, is considered a RAM vessel according to my captain's course instructor. The rules governing distance from the flag apply to all vessels that have the ability to maneuver around the dive boat. In Florida we would occasionally come across a...

Believe it or not, I was just messing with white balance. Trying to figure out if I needed a slate or if the sand would work, what distance away, how to keep the strobe from firing and making it all red, etc. The turtle shot was one-touch balanced against some not very white sand from about 4'...

Yeah, after two years I finally got around to reading the advanced manual so now I know how to work the darn thing. Took it out the other day for fun to play with the white balance settings... Before... After... So, today when I get the opportunity to actually take a good...

I had a really bad sinus infection that I was having problems kicking and I had a couple vacationing open water students and could not find anyone to cover me, so I dove. I had problems equalizing on the way down and coming up got a massive reverse block in my sinuses. I felt the fine bones in...

We would be happy to do your daughter's dives in St. Thomas if you haven't made other plans already depending on your ship's schedule. Rachel

I'm not aware of any multi-shop passes for the island. Who you dive with will likely depend on where you're staying. For St. Thomas I have to promote my own shop because I believe we're top tier on the island and for St. John, I'd go with Low Key Watersports. If you have any questions...

Has anyone noticed that The Poster Who Shall Not Be Named actually hasn't been in this thread at all?

You are, in fact, brilliant. Mad props :D R

My life would be far duller without a little ONESPEED for spice :D R
