    Seems like a waste

    I say save the naval vessels & use the yachts of the Enron & Worldcom execs for target practice.

    Ability to swim to surface

    With 7.5mm of neoprene & only 16lb of lead, you are in little danger of permanant residence in Davey Jones' locker. Besides, the weight belt is way cheaper than the BC if you ever have to make a choice. (Wait, did that make sense?)

    Jimmy Buffett

    Boog, He's our answer to Shakin' Stevens. No, he actually does live on a boat just like the songs imply.

    hey...what's up?

    Hi Susan, are you a local diver or a warm-water diver? We are very nosey!

    Unerwater Hotel?

    Glad to know that it is not an ocean-front view. Nevertheless, what a great anniversary gift that would be for the diving couple!

    check out dives

    If u can dive at home, regardless the lackluster conditions, you stay primed for anything! I constantly see locals (who refuse to dive in cold water) return & return for refreshers every time they have a vacation to the tropics. Then there are those who "just dive it" & are more than ready for...

    Hello

    I'm originaly from Illinois (and nobody in California ever gets to forget it!) Glad u have a wonderful place to dive in your adopted state. Boston is gorgeous, huh? I agree that it is nice to dive warm for variation. It's kinda chilly out here.

    Yet another UK newbie...

    I was mistaken; Michael Jackson bought the Loch Ness monster with the money he made from Lennon & McCartney's music.

    Yet another UK newbie...

    The Loch Ness monster is just a bunch of discarded tractor tires!

    useful reading... for fun or self-improvement

    The Cave Divers really rocked! I hung on every chapter. Hafta check out some of those others. I liked Ocean Realm; if all you're getting is pretty photos, get the prettiest!

    I'm Back - What did I miss?

    Debates about which certification agency is best, questions on whether split fins are better than paddle fins, essays on whether lake divers are cooler than ocean divers, who has the biggest spear gun...the usual.

    Non diving scary moments

    The kind of kid who can get a good-paying job by getting E's & daydreaming about TV shows does not get where he is on language proficiency. Find a good adoption agency that can hook you up with posh but stupid parents.

    proper amount of weight???

    The water temperature makes a difference, & whether u r diving salt or fresh water. Last year, I needed 32 lb because I had 2 layers of 7mm neoprene & dove in salt water. In fresh water, I dropped about 4 lb. I switched to a 5mm 1pc suit & dropped to 21 lb in salt water. I'm a big 200lb...

    Aquaflite or Liquid Fit...opinions?

    My first wetsuit was a 2-pc aquaflight 7mm in neon green & purple with zippers everywhere. I was very buoyant but never cold. All in all it was a good suit & fit perfectly. I got it before they offered the skin-in option. I would still have it except it was stolen (so if you see a big lady...

    Suing culture

    ...if medicine wasn't so prohibitively costly, maybe people would not think that suing sombody with deep pockets was the only way to save their financial lives when lousy things happen.

    finally saying hello

    I hope you make it to the ocean, too, but great job getting wet & staying wet!

    Another West Michigan diver.

    Have you done lake diving before? I have only done it once. I think Lake Michigan will have less duck poop than Lake Castaic.
