Before I started diving I bought a Pontiac Vibe because it was rated by the ACEEE as the most efficient and environmentally friendly car in its class. Also so I could just throw my mountain bike in the back without disassembling it and without worry of mud everywhere (the back all folds into a...

A friend of mine is frightened of drowning and had an alternative suggestion to our wreck diving together. He further explains that the "device" is made of kryptonite, and therefore impervious to pressure.

A special form of low-cost, hypoallergenic pudding combined with recycled cabbage patch kids. That's one of the secrets Big Scuba doesn't want you to know.

I'm amazed that Divers Ocean Planet hasn't been mentioned. Not only is it, IMO, the most interesting, well written, and conscientious publication... it's also got nearly naked diver chics in it.

I love my Mosquito. Small, comfortable, easy to use and read. I bought it with the intent of wearing it as a watch also, but after my girlfriend freaked out about my no longer wearing the Tank watch she got me so many years ago I decided it is a little to big to wear as a watch anyway. ;)...

Yeah, I know. I'm not applying for a government grant based on the results of the poll. I'm actually more curious about how people feel about the fairly bold generalization made by McMurray.

TDI/SDI is all psyched to have Lauren Hutton as a spokesperson.

No, not technical divers as such. I curious as to the percentage of divers who work in some technical field, more exactly what percentage of divers work in IT. I was recently on a six-pack on which every charterer was an IT technician. At the time I thought it was just an odd coincidence...

Here, here. That's what I just did... first dive with the cobra yesterday. My whole review: damn, I love that thing.

I think, considering the map/tables or computer/GPS metaphor, not. At least not unless you're hiking/diving in a local park/swimming pool. If I was rocking the NW Territitories/NW Kelp forrests I'd like a GPS/Computer with me. This becomes irrelevant when you're talking the Andes or the...

Condoms... check. Rohypnol... check. Trampoline... check. Stuffed wolverine... check. Now where did I leave those tap shoes?

Sorry. I meant "Have NOT flooded... even though I've forgotten to..."

I bought that pack. It's cool. The Sea Star flooded, even though it was screwed down and I haven't had the opportunity to dive with it again since to see if it'll seal. Neither the Surge nor the Shockwave, on the other hand, have flooded... even though I've forgotten to tighten both of...

And I would'a got away with it too... if it weren't for you pesky kids.

I believe the people with the most knowledge and experience in this field or that. I couldn't care less about the alfalfa production forecasts for 2005. Does that mean you'll sooner trust my estimation of them or than Alfalfa farmer's?

I like my ad hominem with honey and salt.

I don't know. I think I'm more likely to believe Sports Illustrated and the Sun-Sentinal than some silly, little IAFD organization. I mean... SI... they're proffessionals. They know sports.

That's what I said last April. That was before I wound up going to the quarry near on every weekend all summer. Before I wound up dropping a zillion dollars on gear. I'm glad I bought my all my own stuff, though. Not only did I save money on renting the whole rig every time but I...

Yeah. But to all those who laughed: I'll see you there.

My randomly assigned buddy this last weekend was awesome. We shook hands, shot the sh*t a little and then got to discussing things in the manner of, "When do you want to turn around? What I usually do is..." and "I have a standard Octo, what do you wear?" He (like I prefer to do) went...
