There are two kinds of wetsuit divers - those who admit they pee in their wetsuits and those who lie about it...

Ain't that the truth! But, there are ways to save money too. We ended up cooking all our meals and jammed a bunch of guys into a 1 bedroom suite. The endless walls are a great place to do your deep technical dive training. We had a great time in our class, but it definitely was not cheap.

Definitely give Bob Sherwood a call directly. He's great about making himself available to discuss your specific situation and help you make the best decision depending upon your ability level. FWIW, my GUE Tech2 classmate took Fundamentals from Bob Sherwood after only having 7 dives out of...

Hey John, FWIW, I don't call the way I dive DIR. The term doesn't mean anything to me anymore since it's just been diluted by politics and conflict. I do consider myself GUE-trained and do value the diving tenets taught by the agency. That being said, I'm also in agreement with you that there...

Bob showed me the pics this morning of the incredible viz on the Yukon and the mola molas. Flat seas, fun group, clear vis, and awesome wreck. Couldn't have asked for more. Very lucky day of diving for you all. So jealous I couldn't make it.

Thanks I just threw a rubber band on my watch strap. Looks ghetto. I may replace the whole strap at some point. Thanks for your response.

Those of you who have experienced lung or throat discomfort potentially from prolonged exposure for excessive time on oxygen clock, how long of a deco were you doing when it happened? I haven't ever experienced such discomfort and wondering how close my own deco times might be to somebody...

Did you try to call when you got no email response? The phone is a great invention. ;-)

I wouldn't take a chance whether the dive op has the donut insert. I would bring a yoke adapter on your trip and not take a chance. If you don't have one, I would purchase one just to throw in your save a dive kit.

My bad. You guys are right. I had remembered 30/30 being on the Fundamentals written exam, because I remember I got the question wrong. Fundamentals only covers the use of EAN32. Sorry for the confusion.

EAN32 and 30/30 EDIT: GUE-F does not certify for use of 30/30

You're lucky, Leejnd, that you and your husband got to spend so much one on one time with Steve Millington. He is a great GUE Fundamentals instructor. Glad you had a very positive experience at the event. Looking forward to seeing you and your husband take Fundamentals. It will transform your...

Take GUE Fundamentals and then go log a few hundred dives. You'll know what you want to do after that.

JMJ wetsuits in Torrance is great.

Huge kudos to Nicole for getting this whole thing together. Great meeting so many new people today as well as reconnecting with old dive buddies. Very huge success, Nicole!

It's actually JMJ Wetsuits in Torrance (not Johnson and Johnson). And yes, I love their products. Very happy customer. Bought a 7mm wetsuit, a 3mm wetsuit, a 5mm hooded vest and three boat coats from them. They're great!

I have a DUI TLS350 trilaminate drysuit. It gets soaked in warm water in my bathtub after every dive (zipper closed and not allowing water to get inside). I make sure to soak the zipper as well as the dump valve in order to remove salt crystals. I hang dry the suit with zipper open. Once...

If you are interested in traveling at all to southern California, there are 2 GUE instructors in Los Angeles and 1 GUE instructor in San Diego. Bob Sherwood from GUE also travels out here to teach classes as well. Best of luck on your dive journey!

Use your buddy's gauges.
