    bottled or spray tanning and scuba diving

    lol me - I just prefer to scare small children with my whiteness, and warn the coastguards that the reflection off the sun onto my skin is just a natural hazard! ;) alternatively, I swear by this stuff http://www.p20.com that actually helps me - wait for it - oh my god - it happens - yes -...

    love the diva lx BUT......

    hiya - I have the seaquest diva lx as well....it's great - especially the boob/bra thing! anyway - you may want to consider if you got a slightly too short back (the BCD not yours!)? I ended up buying the size S and tightening the waist rather than the XS which fitted my chest better but the...

    Deep Dive Strategy

    You can't gain NDL time. And you should certainly never plan on having a sawtooth dive profile. If your NDL is at 5 minutes, and you have been diving for 10-15minutes, then it is time (if you are on 10L air) to start ascending slowly up to 60ft/20m. Check your air pressure - still more than 30%...

    Deep Dive Strategy

    right idea, mis-placed conclusion - you are probably adding NDL time because of the length of time you were down at 60ft. as others have said, learn to plan using tables first, then play with the gizmo once you have grasped the concepts.

    Famous Last Words of SCUBA Divers.....

    the only time I've seen a Sipadan DM pale was on hearing these immortal words from a surfacing diver: "yes, we chased a hammerhead down to 52m" (that's about 170ft for you heathens) the guy was on a 10L air tank. and if he really did see a shark at that depth (he tended to get a bit 'funny'...

    Do you really understand your computer, or is it a threat to you?

    just gotta say - I rely on my computer heavily, but all my training was with tables (in BSAC). In the club after I had qualified and during my 5 OW practical dives I borrowed the club's computers and was "trained" how to work those - I then went out and bought the more recent version of the club...

    Do you really understand your computer, or is it a threat to you?

    I think you pay your money you take your choices. My husband/buddy & I bought identical UWATEC Smart Pro computers. Paying a bit (I cant say little as they were expensive) extra gets you simple easy to read screens that show you precisely what is going on (once you have read the manual). It...

    Accident Avoided!

    hmmmm this is why I dislike threesomes, no pun intended .:shakehead if one of a pair has to abort then they both know it is not safe to continue. if one of a threesome has to abort then the temptation to dive alone is so much stronger when you see a pair remaining.

    I would like to hear from overweight female divers...

    luvspoodles - sorry, I am not overweight. But a very close friend of mine who dives, is. What she does to overcome her fear of negative reactions & comments: - wears a one piece swimsuit at all times, normally in navy, and slightly randomly patterned - dark enough to be flattering yet not too...

    Meat Tenderizer?

    living next door to the south china sea - I would highly recommend plain simple natural (not synthesised) brown or pale yellow supermarket vinegar. just pour into a small bottle. From experience, it works.

    Lonely old lady needs feedback

    :05: ok - I can't tell your tone from this - you're either laughing (I hope) or being serious... in case you're being serious..... no - you didnt do anything wrong - it was a small bit of physical contact that shows that you are interested in physical contact with him and you dont object...

    Dive Bootie Rip-Off?

    hard sole is great when walking around on eg broken up coral on the beach or sharp stones, or down on the roads etc. as long as it is a little bit flexible, that's great. the nobby thing at the back is great for stopping the back straps of your fins from slipping off when you are diving.
