I'm not quite understanding this thread. Is it about hypochondria? I'm not being sarcastic. Is the thread just a general statement or someone looking for advice?

A chilly cloudy day at the Breakwater. Did three dives with students. One along the wall, two in the middle reef. The vis was really poor. 10 feet would be wishful thinking. It made me sad for the students because the middle reef is really a beautiful dive. However, for them seeing it for the...

I remember BWRAF as Beans With Rice And Fish.

It was just a matter of when I bought stuff during my diving career.

The pilot in me loves redundancy. I always dive with two computers. I own more, but I always have two on the dive. Currently I dive with a Suunto D5 with a POD and a Suunto Zoop with an analog SPG.I like having the same brand when diving. Suunto for recreational. Shearwater for technical.

Swimmers ear? Swimmer's ear - Symptoms and causes

My first thought is, do you really want something run by electricity next to your pool?

That's really tempting. I need a steel 80 dedicated NITROX tank. Do you have any idea how much shipping would cost to Monterey, CA?

I am biased, but I truly love my AquaLung Lotus for a bunch of reasons. I'm tall and I'm all legs, this BCD is women specific and it puts the weight pockets around my waist rather than down by my hips. Makes it very comfortable. It's a back inflate BCD. I absolutely love the i3 system! Lotus i3

This is kinda related to this topic because it's about climbing Everest, and scuba diving. It's a cool story that I wanted to share with everyone. As many of you know the first people to summit Mt. Everest where Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Well, a couple of months ago I...

Thanks for your reply. I must admit, I had my camera with me and I did not take a pic of the beautiful little critter because I was more focused on giving an awesome tour to my two divers. I love the info you provided. Here are more details. The shell itself was chestnut colored and the exact...

I know nothing about hockey and I have zero interest in spearfishing. However, when you finish this project I would love it if you shared the results because I bet it will be freakin' awesome!

The waves entering and exiting where "Sporty" today. Between surface and 35 feet the surge was about 6' and the visibility was about 3 feet. However, below 35' the visibility opened up, the surge calmed down, but the water was 48F. My thinking was, wow! the vis got better, OMG! my face just got...

When I hit 100 dives I was told the same thing. I have absolutely no problem being naked in public, I did, however, have a problem with being naked in the 55F waters of Monterey Bay, so I never did do my nekkid dive.

Hey everyone. I didn't mean to open a can of worms. My question was sincere. I am older than the age range, but the original post sounds attractive to me. I was just wondering if there was an age restriction. I did not intend to open up a discussion such as that which has happened after my...

Why is it restricted by age?

Welcome to SB and the awesome world of diving.

I would say don't buy it for a bunch of reasons. First, the price ain't that great for a used computer. Second, you aren't even certified yet so you have no experience with dive computers. Get a few dives in. Rent console and wrist mounted computers from your LDS. See what you like, then take...

It's my understanding we can no longer sleep in our cars at Breakwater overnight. It is really getting insane to live and work here. The Bay Area has become totally unaffordable for anyone earning under $250,000.00/year. EDIT:To put things in perspective, today I went to the supermarket and...

Yeah, that's a recent change too. The unreasonable 7 day cancellation policy.
