    Weezle Extreme+

    My weezle is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Besides being easier to maneuver in, it keeps me warmer than any DUI undergarment. I find it easier to detect when i need to vent upon ascent. Also, no squeeze issues. I dropped weight when i changed from the DUI undergarment to...

    Local Lawyers?

    I was in court yesterday, I just needed to show proof of registration....however, the lawyer that was there for the city was giving advice to those caught speeding or moving violations. In Illinois if you plead not-guilty and go to trial, there is a good chance to lose your license. To me...

    Ordered my Scuba Pro Jet fins today? Hope I like them...

    Spring straps make it very easy to put them on. I went from split fins to the jet fins recently and love them. Still getting used to the frog kick, but so happy to give up my flutter, and so is the rest of the quarry I dive at. Mine was given to me....but i'll ask if it was the LDS or an...

    Drysuit: Shell or Neoprene?

    Why I won't dive with you.

    Anyone who thinks their camera equipment and photo oppoutunities are more important than manners and being alert to the sealife and other divers.

    Major Incident with Canaveral Cruise Ship

    Thanks Simon....I wasn't clear on that. I didn't believe it "rolled" over literally, but I am not familiar with boating/ship terminology.

    Jellys?

    i was stung on the face by something "invisible" on a safety stop during my trip to Coz. I wear a skin although i have control of my bouyancy, just makes sense that there are things out of my control and i should protect myself if its available. plus, after 4 or 5 dives a day for multiple...

    Mask Clearing Reflex

    I always stick my face in the water with my reg, no mask prior to every dive for that purpose. Haven't had that issue since. Especially since its chillier water I have been diving.

    Does ScubaBoard help you to dive more than otherwise?

    nope, i read this board while at work ...lol, but i go diving for the love of the sport. It is interesting to read the different views, etc.....but i have to remember as with any news site, thread/board.....you take it with a grain of salt.

    Pre-dive routine?

    I have been diving with my buddy for over 300 dives...we know each others set up but still check prior to each dive and go over the dive plan, even if its in the quarry we frequent and not in an unfamiliar place.
