    Just starting out

    I have not had my SeaLife camera in the water yet - not even in the pool - but will soon give it a try both in the pool and the Gulf. I will look up the Canon S110, actually now that I think of it my son has a Canon - can't remember which - that he doesn't use much...maybe I could get away with...

    will soon be doing first saltwater dive

    wow - have to say replies to posts here come really fast - thanks! The "air brake" analogy is a good one. I was thinking doubling my weight was a little much - and since I've been diving with 12 pounds in fresh water wasn't really looking forward to diving with 24! As the water is warm here...

    how to ascend/ descend

    I've been diving in fresh water with 12 pounds (husband uses 4) - once I get past that 10-15 feet mark I usually don't have any problems accidentally floating up - so far 30' is the deepest we've been and we've not yet been in saltwater (that trip is coming up soon). I have been equalizing even...

    will soon be doing first saltwater dive

    As I've mentioned in other threads my husband and I got certified last September - since then we've made several trips to dives lakes and a river (and cleaned the bottom of a friend's pool :)) In the next few weeks we will be doing a "rig dive" in the Gulf of Mexico - plan to descend on a line -...

    how to ascend/ descend

    I'm new too - finished PADI course September 2013 - since then husband and I have been to lakes and rivers to dive - I have problems with my ears so much descend very slowly for at least the first 10-15 feet, I also have problems descending. I can't sit on the bottom of a pool without floating...

    Ear Equalisation

    going to have to watch the videos - I seem to have a lot of trouble between the surface and about 10-15 feet - after that if I stay down there it's not a big deal - just lightly blow and I hear a "pop". I seem to have trouble in one ear more than the other - but that ear is different on each...

    To weight or not to weight

    I'm a new diver - and a bit of a nervous diver - so what everyone has said seems to make good sense - I probably do hold too much air in my lungs and my husband has said I'm moving my feet - but I don't realize it - so next time I'll think more about those things. I tend to be very buoyant as...

    Nikon Coolpix s9500 - Any Opinions?

    I don't know about the 9500 - I have two Coolpix aw100 - one I bought several years ago before I took SCUBA lessons it is rated to go down about 30' without any housing - I bought a newer one a couple years ago when husband and I decided to take SCUBA lessons - same camera but it is rated to go...

    Just starting out

    thought I'd tag this onto this thread since it's basically the same question - hope that's ok: I'm new to diving and love taking pictures so of course taking underwater pictures is on my list of things to do. Husband and I started out having 2 Nikon Cool Pix "underwater" cameras - first is...

    new diver, new to forum

    Hello All, I'm new to diving and new to the forum - hubby and I got certified last year on our 31st anniversary. We've made a few dives on our own - but just in lakes have not yet gotten into the ocean. Look forward to getting to know members here and getting good information and advice.
