    Kudos to all SB members!

    I just wanted to say thank you to all the SB members for their threads & posts. Some of you are very good at what you do, the way you word responses and I wanted you to know how helpful that is to a new diver. Others are very comical, and downright funny with your responses. Then there are a few...

    Who would you like to dive with?

    Dennis Haysbert they say he is actually a very good diver and he can teach me how to use crazy guns under water like in The Unit.

    What are the drawbacks?

    Steve, You may know better then me but can you not get a second breath block so in an OOA situation you can pull the pin and switch to your pony bottle?

    How do specialty C-Cards work?

    I wouldnt think you could be master anything by taking a course like this. I heard the phrase Put Another Doillar In thrown around a couple of times and I am starting to believe it more and more. Being new to SCUBA it is amazing how little you actually have to know to be certified to teach...

    Since we're fascinated diver pee habits...

    Funny you mention this. I actually saw something today online about DiveRite uses a balanced p-valve that can be used in a wet suit as well (to help with the smell). Didnt check it out but I am sure a quick google search should yeild results.

    Good winter diving spots

    Ya know what Nude, there is something about you, your answers to others and the way you present yourself (over the internet haha) I actually enjoy guessing whats coming out of your mouth next. I think we would get along. Once I improve my skills and talk the wife into letting me go to Alaska to...

    How do specialty C-Cards work?

    What a great idea, may sound stupid but I never thought of this. Way off topic here but I know working at a night club if someone comes in with an ID and there is a hole punch in it or it is "disrupted from it's natural form" I can not accept it. I assume this doesnt apply to C-Cards?

    Cruise-Divers from Ashburn, VA

    Welcome, welcome. I like and agree with the idea of letting the cruise ship move you from dive spot to dive spot. Best of both worlds.

    Good winter diving spots

    :hijackedthread: Does this offer stand for anyone? I would love to dive in Alaska and I would be all alone as my wife wants nothing to do with anyplace that cold. :focus: Sorry about that, but just to make my contribution to this thread, I would agree being in the military should allow you...

    Dumb color choice question

    I would say 4 of your items are blue and only 2 of your other items are yellow so I would go with the yellow suit. This way to even out the look. Actually I am just a really big fan of anything yellow or orange and since orange wasn't a choice I said yellow. :D

    Regulator hose damage question

    Think of it this way....if it is close enough to the time where you would have the reg serviced then cut your loss and have it done early and get the unit repaired and serviced. If it is not close just get the hose fixed as dealing with something happening underwater and ruining your dive...

    Whats your opinion?

    I would like to get some opinions on a Diverite BP/W set up. I am thinking about going with a Transplate Harness and SS Backplate. From reading on their website it appears that this harness will allow single or doubles? This would allow me flexability and not have to purchase another setup aside...

    Whats up with my computer?

    Yes this was brought to be an everyday watch / dive computer so I know it will not turn off. FWIW that didn't work out to well either as this is slightly bigger then i had expected. Hopefully I will be in the water every weekend so who knows maybe it will never come off :D
