I got stung by Portuguese Man-o-War in Fiji. Darn thing nearly killed me. I had a reaction to the sting which caused some Muscle paralysis. Now (just like boulderjohn) I use a full suit every time for ocean dives, no matter how hot the water is. Most painful lesson I've ever learned. A 3/2...

I like the scuba hand signals and all, but American Sign Language is far better. Granted more diffecult to learn, but my wife and I are fluent and this makes for a great conversation underwater. We can communicate exactly what we want to with no confusion.....unless the vis is horrible. If you...

Come to mention it, when I went diving in Hawaii the DM on the boat had a spray bottle of J&J 50/50 mixed with water. It was the best stuff. I sell the 500psi on our website.... perhaps I should put some baby shampoo there for sale? J/K But I do like how handy the 500psi bottle is to keep in the...

The Scuba world is wonderful.... you will love it. However be cautious of a training facility that says you can go for certified to instructor right away. Not going to happen. It takes time and plenty of experiance to teach. I'm not an instructor, but from all the instructors I've met..... they...

Welcome Teresa.... Rick getting 2 computers is always a good idea!

Welcome Carlos!

Welcome Diver Wolf! The SB is a great place

Oh, you are going to love diving and this Scuba Board. Welcome and happy diving.

Wow Kip that is really cold. Refreshing would not be the term I would use... Crazy is just another adjective I have in mind. Welcome to the SB!

Lake Mead Tony! Welcome to the Scuba Board. I go down frequently to Vegas (not to gamble) but for business and to see family. I would love to contact you the next time we are there. How does Lake Mead diving compare to Lake Powell? Went to Lake Powell last year and it was terrible. What would...

New to diving and already went to guam? Tell us all about it! Oh, and welcome to the board!

Welcome to the board Jollyman16! My wife is my dive buddy too. Pretty fun having your wife involved with something you love to do.

Welcome! You will love it here.... it's the biggest forum for Scuba on the web... Period! Enjoy cruising through the various discussions!

Welcome to the board Charchar!

Long time surfer here. I've dealt with just about every wetsuit made for surfing, and a few now for diving. The zipper in back for surfing is to avoid 2 things.... 1 Scratching the board (already mentioned) and 2 it would be painful the lay down on the board with a zipper pressed against your...

I agree with MarcG. I still consider myself new to diving and I've seen improvement over the last few dives. You just need to experiance different situations, night dives, low vis situations, etc. More experiance = more comfort. More comfort = less air consumption. Have fun.

Welcome to the Scuba Board. All that matters is that you are good at using your dive computer right? You'll get the hang of it here. Again, Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the board! Ice diving eh? Am I missing out?

Wow, you are an inspiration! Keep it up, perhaps someday I'll catch up. Welcome to the board!

Apparently it is. I started this thread and wow.... what a detour. But I am learning, and have enjoyed the lively debate. I think I'll stay away from Nitrox for a while.... still need more experiance. But now I know what thread to look up for when I'm ready :)
