My wife and I during our Advance Course.

DO plan every dive. DO tell someone of your intentions. (This one I'm a little biased as as member of Search & Rescue). DON'T take common sense for granted. DON'T lose your car keys. (embarrassingly I've done it!)

Pretty good choices. If you can - try out some of the gear before you purchase to see if it really suits your needs

I'll fly a flag whenever I can safely do so.

Hey Joel, Just to let you know that I appreciate the post. On Oct. 20, 1993 I lost my good friend and Brother in law. He died doing what he loved best - Diving. He was one of these young and fearless types who would try anything and was just entering into Technical Diving. It is my opinion...

If you're still looking for possibilities or just curious, I seen similar situations and related them to straps or constrictions across the shoulders. This is often experienced by Backpackers with overloaded packs or from over-tightening their packs. I'm no Doctor but I suspect that the weight...

Any time I dive with a novice diver I treat it like a solo dive.Too many times have I had to abort a perfectly good dive because of their improperly cared for gear or their lack of experience. These days I'm either diving with a Novice (because most of my local experienced Dive Buddies have...

Video worked fine for me. But then again I'm on a Mac.

Hey Dale, I'm in Kelowna - if you're ever planning on being around these parts give me a heads up.

I so want to join you. Gotta work though. I'm located in the Okanagan, so with a little more notice I could make the trip. Overdue for a Coastal Dive.

Managed to get a few dives in... New job, ailing parents, real life stuff got in the way. Hooked up with some old Dive Buddies that I haven't seen in awhile(cool),and some old Buddies that I've recently learned were Divers( very cool). Found and read my manual for my old Aladin Pro Computer that...

I too only fly a flag when I'm certain it's safe to do so. I've had my Dive Flag ripped from by a boat speeding by. Luckily, with a little of preparedness, I had the flag attached with a weak link(a hair scrunchie that I borrowed from my little girl) so that I wasn't pulled from 72' to the...

Deepest Solo -Commercially- 265' ( with surface support). Recreational-170',kinda' freaked me out & had to abort dive as I wasn't feeling 100%. Probably wouldn't attempt that depth solo again at least not for a while.:(

Like DCBC , I started Solo on the job. Even over the years as I dove with less experienced divers more and more frequently, I (for all intensive purposes)was diving by myself as some were so green they were more of a 'Hazzard' than 'Help'. I've also lost a little faith in the quality of the...

I've found : about a dozen anchors a few wallets( empty) a pair of Sarengehti(?) Sun Glasses( value $ 500 apparently) a cowl of a Hydro Plane. a very exspensive stainless steel prop. an old shot gun ( thrown from a bridge- I turned it in to thwe RCMP) a 10 ' Jon boat( raised -...

I love it and wouldn't mind getting a copy too,

I often found that it realy depends alot on the wreck and how it is situated. There is one wreck that I like to take novice divers from out of town that sits on a little ledge at 80 ft. -past that ledge it drops to 200+. In this instance tying to the wreck is really the only option. As...

Well, here it goes... I was born with a hole in my left ear drum and couldn't get water in my ear. As a kid I use to sit with my Teacher and watch all the other kids take swimming lessons.. At age 13 I had an operation to fix my inner ear and ripped down all the obstacles between the water and...

Hahaha! I love it...

Why polute the water. Sink his boat at least you'd get an artificial reef out of it.
