    a bit off-topic but I'll ask

    Hi, My diving buddy and I are good pals in real life, and have been doing all our diving around Vancouver, BC. So far, we've gotten to love the Pacific Northwest... That being said, both of us are very adventureous guys. While we're both really keen on continuing diving around the PNW, we've...

    Deep Diving

    Awesome responses! A lot of the stories you guys have posted are exactly what I've been looking for. I'm amazed someone ever made it down to 1044ft in one piece, and I'll definately check out that book on diving the Andrea Doria. As for my intentions, I'll be sticking around the recommended...

    Deep Diving

While I've got plenty of fleece to wear under it, the shell is a bit baggy. My uncle has dived (dove?) for close to 2 decades now, and...

    troubles with weight and bouyancy?

    Huge thanks to everyone who responded here... I read through the responses a couple times over, and it definately gave me some insight. On the 25th our club has a dive to a local cove. There are a few wrecks at about 45 ft, an anemone garden and a bouey-chain that leads up and down... Sounds...

    troubles with weight and bouyancy?

    Hi, My buddy and I recently got certified through our uni's dive-club. We've done 8 open-water dives total in cold water (Vancouver), wearing shell-suits for 7 of them. The issue we've both been having is about weight. I'm about 135 lbs, he's maybe 150 lbs. I wore 38 lbs last dive, he wore 40...
