I went with the Oceanic Geo and I wear it everyday as a watch then when I am ready to dive it is already with me. As for what you require this is what The Geo has: 1) has a backlight very nice backlight 2) operates in gauge modehas 3 modes, Norm, Gauge & Free 3) has audible alarms Has...

If it doesnt work out for this weekend and we have to wait until Feb to do the dives I can get in the pool again before we go there is no problem with that.

So just an update for anyone out there who cares or just wants to read. I found a dry suit from the shop that seems like it fits me. It was comfortable, not cutting off my circulation at the seals, didnt feel like I was going to pass out. So we got in the pool last night for about 2 hours and...

Why not Larry Flynt and Joe Franco are about to ask for a 5 billion dollar bail out for the porn industry.

Another question kind of on the same topic here....Whats the difference if I borrow someones XXL DUI suit or XXL Dive Rite suit or XXL whatever suit OR if I buy my own XXL DUI / Dive Rite / Whatever suit. Its the same suit isnt it? I know that obviously you do not want to be constricted in your...

A free flow reg I was actually very comfortable with during my OW class. Not something I would want to have happen but if it did I would be comfortable dealing with it and then making my way to the surface and getting air from my buddy if need be. Very good point though as I heard it is a common...

Thanks for everyone's comments so far. I want to hear this person out and see what they have to say and their reasons for thinking this should not be done. I believe their real issue is the dry suit not fitting properly. It is a moot point if they let me borrow the dry suit or not, to me my LDS...

I am not 100% sure. I know they were a navy seal for quite some time and very informed about SCUBA. There is no point, I am married with 2 young children. I need to get used to cold quarry diving because that is where 90% of it will take place.

So I would like some honest opinions on here about the following situation. I am a new diver, dove one time on a cruise ship and now it is time for me to take the PADI OW course. I go to my LDS who is a PADI 5 star IDC dive center ( I wanted to throw that out so we know we are anot talking...

Yes;)

I agree with you, but to a new guy like me it's kind of good. I have been here a while now and still havent gotten through every single thread and response ever made (although I am trying :D ) Nice every once in a while when one rises fromn the dead because then I get to read. Dive Safe!

So sorry to hear about this. I find myself growing fonder of Scubaboard because there are people in WI that have never met this person and they want to help. There are good ppl left in this world! I do not pray but him and his family have my thoughts. Dive Safe!

Thats exactily why you dont mess with animals, actually most underwater animal attacks are because the animal is defending itself from what it believes is a threat. They do not just attack you for no reason what so ever.

I was thinking the same exact thing you were just about a week ago. If I was at home and had my computer I could post the links I saved, but I am at work sorry. I used the :search: function and put in " save-a-dive " just like that and came back with 3 or 4 really good threads on this subject...

I was actually finishing up my OW course today and we had the skills sessions in the pool. Well day one and two were no problem, great, love diving. Day one had to flood the mask, bang no problem, day two had to remove the mask and breathe from the reg for 30 sec, no problem, day three had to...

Seeing these prices (if the OP is not lying about this & let me state I do NOT think they are I am just stating) I would have asked the LDS if they wanted to share the drugs they were on. Being serious for a moment I can not believe some people on here talking about business and how you waste...

I have 15 - 20 tats and I have tipped for most of them. I tip after the artist is finished depending on how the work turned out and if he / she was cool to talk with. The reason I used this as an example is because the tattoo artist usually pays the shop a fee to work there and then they charge...

I was curious to know if you should tip your instructor? I am in a ow class and I am the only student. Tomorrow is the last day before check out dives and we got to talking about how they do not make a lot of money and more less do it for the fun of teaching. I am sure they get other perks from...

Last year we had a call in Jan and spent some time searching a quarry for a drowning victim. It was not a pattern for the year, so there is hope. Dive safe!
