    Waterproof eyeliner - L'Oreal Telescopic

    If you don't like liquid liner then you probably won't like this, but if you do ... it really stays on until you wash it off. There's a hitch though. It's doesn't quite dissolve with eye makeup remover. I've tried several eye makeup removers with it - Lancome, Mary Kay, and Neutrogena (all...

    DAN travel Insurance Availability

    I called DAN and they confirmed that they are revamping and looking at carriers and will have something to offer (hopefully) by mid July. I didn't ask, but I would assume that the outstanding contracts for insurance already sold will be honored. The contracts would be, after all, a product...

    DAN travel Insurance Availability

    Don, did you check out the diveassure plans? I just got the same message from DAN. They say their plans will be available in July. Our trip isn't until the end of July so we might be able to wait it out, but I'm curious about the other options anyway. Thanks!

    Just about everyone need editing!

    Me too - and I'm the one who started it! (I did go back and edit it - nearly immediately - but it didn't "take") But this is exactly my point! It's humiliating when I make an error for the world to see - but I have to be able to laugh at myself or I'll miss out on too many good laughs. :P

    Just about everyone need editing!

    You're being a bit harsh. First, let me say that I teach Sociology - not English - and by the time the students get to me they are supposed to be reading and writing at a college level. My job is supposed to be to teach theories and how to apply sociological concepts to their everyday world...

    Dealing with long hair

    I'm hoping you can tell how the skull-cap holds my hair in place in this photo. Clearly, the hair on the bottom half of my head isn't under the cap but otherwise it works quite well. When I put on my mask I make sure the cap goes over my ponytail in the back and right up to the skirt of the...

    Dealing with long hair

    Ain't it the truth!!! It really is all the little things! I swear by my Harley Davidson spandex beanie. I'm attaching a link to a place in Milwaukee (House of Harley) that sells them over the internet. Their price is cheaper than what I have paid in the past ($13.99). They refer to it as a...

    Experimenting with a beanie to help regulate body temp

    Re the study, it makes sense. If the only part of your body uncovered is your head it almost doesn't matter HOW much heat you're losing, you're losing in through your head! I am a chilli-willi so I will be taking my 3 mil. Thanks for the responses. And btw, I read a study recently that said...

    Experimenting with a beanie to help regulate body temp

    Next month we're going on a dive trip where the water temp will be around 82+/-. I'd love to skip wearing my 3m wetsuit but I can count on not staying warm enough, especially as we go through the week. Since we lose 20-40% of our heat through our scalp I was thinking about wearing a rash guard...

    upgrade firmware Sealife DC1400

    I figured it out. I had to go into my download file folder, copy the file onto the hard drive and then it was a piece of cake. Unfortunately, when you click onto the file it wants to open it - and that led me to believe that I needed to open it prior to being able to save it. So ... go to...

    upgrade firmware Sealife DC1400

    I can't make this work. I download the file and I can't open it. Is there an application that you recommend to open it that will then allow me to save it to the memory card?

    Atomic ST1 "broken"?

    Diversteve, maybe I'll print out what you said and take it to the LDS. They do not sell Atomic and perhaps don't have the proper training. It sounds like the only purpose of this is to save the seat - not that it would endanger my life at depth. Btw, the previous dealer we took it to was a...

    Just about everyone need editing!

    Verrrry funny! I know I'm a nudge ... I teach, and sometimes I feel like my eyes are bleeding as I grade papers ... which is why I don't assign many papers!!! And I'm always humiliated when I make grammar and spelling mistakes because I am such a grammar snob (but not a scuba snob!!). :P

    Just about everyone need editing!

    I was just reading the intro to a scuba book that I think I might be interested in purchasing and was hit smack in the face with an error. Grammar errors, poor word choices and spelling errors are rife in every online publication as well as in the paper copies. We don't notice our own errors -...

    Atomic ST1 "broken"?

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I took it back to the LDS (today) before I got your response and the tech made some calls and found out the same thing. What he was told was to add some additional lube to see if that would help make a better seal and it worked! Pretty cool engineering I...

    Atomic ST1 "broken"?

    My husband and I have identical Atomic ST1 regulators. When we have the second stage hooked up to HIS, but NOT to a tank, you can inhale a small stream of air through it - but on mine no air passes through on an inhale (if you inhale on all of our other second stages - including other...

    WTB: Nitrox capable dive computer

    I work with someone who wants to sell (what looks like) a Suunto Zoop dive computer with a compass attached and a warm water Aqualung regulator for $500. If you're interested I can put you in touch with her. She bought it when she was living on a boat but moved before ever got to use it. I...

    What Would You Do if You Looked Up and Saw a Great White Shark?

    My real answer wasn't listed. I'd take a picture and keep an eye on him/her and exit the water cautiously. And I might flood my mask from smiling. There was a time that I would have chased him/her to get a better picture. :)

    Scuba Diving Survey Results

    My husband and I are within the smallest category for age when first becoming divers (49-64). I wonder about longevity. Heck, I found it interesting that the percentage of respondents in the number of years diving category dipped after 1-3 but went up in the 6-9 and the highest number was 20+...

    Does anyone wear a watch?

    Citizen Ecodrive - it's also my everyday watch. I think I like it more for everyday use because it reminds me of being where I'd rather be than where I AM! I also dive with two computers (Datamask and Cobra).
