Last year I was certified and bought a whole kit minus tanks. And I dived a whole lot, enough to feel I got my money's worth. Just a few weeks ago I took a cavern course and was invited to, if I practiced consistently enough through this season, attend the Intro to Cave course this coming...

I've got a buddy of mine |-| that close to Open Water lessons, but I can't send him to my LDS because I'm in VA and he's in NJ. So, any suggestions? A shop in the Trenton, NJ area which'll send him into the world well-trained?

Before you screw it back on make sure that little two o-ring dingus is back in.

You should go the week previous (2/28 - 3/6). That's when I need a buddy.

Last week I was down in FL for a Cavern course and the bug got me in an awful way. I've got to get my head deeper into those holes. At the end of the week I was flattered to hear my instructor say, "I'm not trying to pressure you, but you really should consider taking the Intro to Cave...

I almost drowned laughing one day when my regular buddy (entirely, heretofor, a freshwater diver) did this on his first NC wreck dive.

Yeah, I'm cheap. So? Get it? Cut me? Because they're shears! Nevermind. Just in case that bolt is getting as rusty on yours as it is on mine.

LP's already out of stock. Or ScubaPro is playing some little waffle game and hasn't stocked them yet. ScubaPro: We don't sell online. LP: C'mon. ScubaPro: No, we don't do it. LP: C'mon. ScubaPro: No. LP: C'mon. etc.

"The" Dive Shop in Fairfax, all the way. I'm pretty new to diving and in my enthusiasm I visited every... and I mean every shop in the area a couple of times. I've bought gear from all and took classes with a couple of shops. "The" Dive Shop comes out ahead in each and every regard...

The XS Scuba trim pouches, to be more precise. I got a couple of these the other day to prepare for a trip down to the FL Springs for Cavern Class. I've been meaning to get them for a while, in fact, but my LDS took their sweet time in restocking them. Aaaaaanyway. I get them home and...

I've got to dissent. Mosquito, all the way. It's comfortable, it's more streamlined feeling, and I actually think the display is easier to read. Maybe I'm just used to it.

Which direction is escending?

I'm treking down there with an instructor from my LDS... he's a full cavern instructor with whom I've taken a wreck class (SDI class that might as well be called "Reels, Lift Bags, and looking at the same scuttled 30 footers at the bottom of the quarry as you usually do"). We're headed to...

Goin down to FL with my LDS is just under a month and I'm mega-amped. What I keep wondering is, is this just going to be a little vacation where I poke my head in some holes or is this course generally intensive... i.e.: a real first step toward caving? Curious to hear about other's...

I've got a question about something I realize, in retrospect, was very foolish for me to have done. I'd just gotten a new camera set up and came across a baracuda just lazing around in some wreckage. I started snapping shots and getting closer and closer to the beast until I reached a point...

Deep Sea Detectives doing the Doria tonight. Ruefully, I only caught the last 15 minutes. It's on again at Midnight for you nighthawks.

The year draws to a close. I was going to head to warmer climes this coming weekend and eek in a few more dives but it seems that I'm finished for this, my first year of diving. And I'd just like to toot my own horn by saying: 50. I made it that far. 50 dives since OW in April...

I wish they'd explained what that little tire gauge thingie is for and why we need it if we're just supposed to leave it in a pocket? I mean, can't they figure out a way to just take it off and get that hose out of the way? Sheesh.
