    Hammerhead BP

    I am 6', 200 lbs, the al fits me great and i assume it's the same cut and bends as the stainless. I use it with singles with a 40lb wing, Dive Rite though. I like the 2 piece sta and everything fits together better using them but I can't use them bc they are too heavy for me. I usually dive...

    Air bubbles out my nose when I breathe...

    I know exactly what your talking about Mbram. Its not your breathing technique or anything else your not doing right; your reg just breaths a little too easy. It probably flows air pretty bad when you remove it from your mouth at depth. Just find someone who can adjust it slightly.

    What is your beer of choice?

    I once had an akward moment just to see what it felt like. I live vicarously through myself. I don't always drink beer, but when I do I prefer Dos XX.

    What can or does your LDS need to do to EARN your business?

    And then there are some people who just like the comfort of shopping online. No matter how stocked your store is it will never have all the equipment I can look at, read about, and read reviews for then I can study by visiting three of four online stores. It is nothing personal, I promise. I...

    Favorite Diving Foods

    My brother and I call our trips to Clear Springs "Dive, Burger, Dive, Burger, Dive." Three two hour dives with a juicy hamburger in between each, what could be better? Besides the Capri Suns we drink while sitting on Cisco.

    sharks ... how to react?

    Cool, we saw one last October in PCB diving on the Blackbart, I think that's what the wreck was called. There were three of us diving together and only one other person besides the three of us saw it. There were probably 20 people on the wreck at the time. It was my first dive outside of...

    Best fins for a weak ankle?

    I have hardware in my left ankle from being run over by a truck. I have used split fins (Sherwood), and switched to a pair of Wenoka Reflex because I found that using a frog kick really eases my pain.

    Resort diving course

    Padi Discover Scuba. You will be taught enough to dive safely alongside the instructor. If the operation leading the dive is safe, then yes, the dive is perfectly safe. Totally worth it and a fun way to "discover" scuba diving.

    To package, or not?

    Suprised you don't already have masks, fins, and snorkels. Snorkel is not necessary but i do like to have one in my bag. Next, get a regulator, you will enjoy having your own. Since you've already been looking online, check out the Edge Epic. If I was in the market for a new reg this is the...

    How much are you willing to pay your LDS over online?

    I wish Wal Mart carried scuba gear.

    DiveRite Transpac + Deep Sea Supply Wing?

    Haha, if everybody though like that we'd still be in the Stone Ages.

    Boat Experience

    That's weird, I'd call some of the ones your looking at. Someone has got to let a new diver onboard. My first dive outside of class was a charter out of panama city beach and they were glad to have the three of us along. They new it was our first dive.

    Nice watch for diving?

    They gave great crystals but if a watch does not have a screw down crown it isn't a dive watch. I used to have a seiko kinetic that I swam with for 5 years and it didn't leak, then I took on my first open water dive and trashed it. For twice as much you can buy him a Tag Aquaracer from a...

    Problems with Advanced and Stress/Rescue Class

    And you wondered why you were labeled an elitist. Get off your high horse, brush that chip off your shoulder and enjoy yourself and the wonderful company you might meet if you quit thinking that us hobby divers are any less capable under the water just because we don't think of our...

    DiveRite Transpac + Deep Sea Supply Wing?

    It's so easy for people to say "buy all the gear together from the same vendor so it all works together as a system" but the reality is that people already have some of the system and may just want to replace the wing or get another plate for travel.

    LDS vs. Internet

    I learn more about the product from the online product description and a few product reviews then I do from the dive shop. Plus I can look at 50 regulators online instead of two or three at the lds. I wish my lds had an online store; I find it easier to study products on my own without being...
