I guess I can be a bit of a good-natured contrarian... I have a yellow UK C8 light, but I think if I had it to do over again I might have bought black. The main reason is, that if a panicked OOA diver comes swimming full tilt at me, they're...

This is what kills me... If I understand correctly (maybe I don't), diesel does not have to be refined to the degree that gasoline does. So ... why is it more expensive? My big question...Do we truly have any competition in the oil market? Maybe we do, maybe we don't...I would just feel...

I agree with a previous poster... "wonder" is just about the perfect word. I remember the first time I saw rain from *below* the surface. I just sat and stared at it the entire safety stop. How many people get to see this, I thought... It was amazing to go from this calm, placid environment...

I am a newb, but three things occur to me: -- I concur with a previous poster who mentioned that if your computer fails, unless you've been paper-logging your dives & SI's, you won't know what letter group you're in. And even if you do log them, if you do more than a one or two dives, the...

Hehehehehe..... You said ... "boobies" hehe hehe hehe :D

EDIT: Sorry out of my range. Never mind. Jumped too soon:-)

I just booked for 9/8-9 with www.discoverscuba.com in houston

[Walking into dive shop] Customer: Hi, I would like sign up for the class to get a Vomit Card? I was told I would need this for any liveaboard trip. [Five seconds of stunned silence by LDS staff] LDS Owner(recovering): Yeah, sure, that's uh... 250, wait, no 350 dollars. Sign this release...

I dive a Zeagle Ranger and am absolutely tickled to death with it (to use a southern expression :10: ). Just feels good in the water & the quality/construction is excellent, at least in my limited-experience opinion. It's also weight-integrated with a single ripcord release, which I like...

I, too, have a Zeagle ranger (love the thing). The way I do mine: -- Atmos AI(air-integrated) computer, clipped to lower left d-ring with stainless steel snap-bolt. The compass is on this unit. I like to unclip it and hold it in front of me as I swim while navigating, so that all my information...

I would re-iterate what a previous poster said... it depends. If I am into something I don't feel fully qualified to do, like night diving, or deep diving, I don't go if there's not a pro along. --'Goose

Well, I didn't have the hood *ON* when I did it :11:

I'm mostly satisfied with my Mares Isotherm, and it IS quite warm... but I do have two things to say: -- The ankles & wrists have little springy fabric rings sewn into the cuffs. Some of the stitching on these rings is coming undone on my suit. Not a super-big deal, but for $375, expected a...

I will tell you that I dive a Ranger and am delighted with it. Very high quality BCD. I also have a Aeris Atmos AI air-integrated computer that I am very happy with. Please do not buy from LP. From what I have read on this board they are not an authorized dealer for Zeagle, and you can run...

I've seen a few posts that mentioned the mix changing as a result of temperature drop. Would that in fact matter? It would seem intuitively, to me at least, that a 64/36 mix of N2/O2 would remain 64/36 no matter what the temperature of the gas is. The respective amounts of molecules of each...

I never will forget this... Couple of years ago... I was departing DFW to fly out west on business, and there were two men in front of me in line. I will not state their ethnicity out right, but one might guess by their language, accent and appearance that their ancestry was from somewhere east...

One poster said to dive with pros. Good advice, IMHO ... In my own case, I only dive at night with my instructor, because I don't feel like I'm qualified to night-dive without a pro with me, and I just this weekend got my rescue card (yippee). One strong point I might make. DO NOT force...

Although I am a fairly new diver and am in no position, I suppose, to second guess an instructor... I am not sure I agree with this decision. IMHO, when any piece of life-support gear fails, especially at 90ft, it's time to get upstairs, period. (safe ascent rate & deco stops of course)...

I concur with GS.... my limited experience with Calvin has been good, and I had a good time there. That having been said, and based on the prefectly reasonable assumption that everything stated is true and complete, here is what I think we can walk away with. tlessard, with all due...

Hmmm... I can say that doesn't sound like the Calvin that I met when I was there a few weeks ago. All of my experience with him was that he was friendly and courteous. I would like to see him charge less for air fills, but I don't have to dive there either :-) Now, the web site does say that...
