I use a pr of 2mm Neoprene socks from cabelas under my booties. They fit me snug and I like the warming qualities and also that they take up some room in my boots which allows for less of the water balloon feeling after getting out of the water. I think mine were like 15 or so shipped. Here...

well I was in trunks booties, fins, mask, snorkel, and bc and had a belt with 10 pounds and a 4 pound bag stashed in a bc pocket and a steel tank. So that got me down to the bottom of the pool. Today I will add to that gear list (and of course bouyancy) by wearing my 7mm one piece, gloves, and...

rental gear is all used too, and many of us rely on that stuff.

Did class today and it was so much fun. Mask clearing was a breeze and the one thing I was really worried about. Used a scubapro back inflate bc today and I see what people are talking about in terms of it sort of pushing you face first into the water. While my two buddies were on the surface...

thanks man, appreciate it. I'll be in the water in 3 hours and like I said I am not worried about it once I am in the pool. Thanks again. Off to gym.

I have XS Turtles fins, and when I start buying gear I intend to go bp/w and steel tank (for onw thing I live in Seattle and will dive the Sound). I have no idea what my weighting will be like, as today will be my first pool session. I am really asking these questions in preperation for having...

you know like constantly pulling them up because he has no tush and no hips and a belly working against anything staying up around his waist? Well that may have been me, and I have my first pool class and am worried about how much of a pain that weight belt will be. I weigh about 300 pounds and...

there you go. thanks

Won't be long and I can join, had class tonight, pool tomorrow and wed and two OW dives on Wed afternoon. Have a blast tomorrow!!!!!!!!

any idea why that is? I start my first NAUI classroom session tonight and was just curious.

That pretty much summed it up.

i have an sd1100is and LOVE LOVE it. next I'll get the housing. I can't imagin that with 7mm gloves on I would have much control over manual controls nor am I photosmart so I will let thecamera make the decsions for me. (Just had an image of Vincent Gallo explaining in Buffalo 66 about how he...

great info. thanks, and from a fellow truck driver too. I certainly felt better after a light meal after drying off so that sounds like just what you are talking about.

cool that is great I am already looking at a pretty heavy belt as I am a big dude with a big 7mm suit. Would be nice if they are steel i guess, if not i guess i'll just have to send them to mksmith713. ;-)

thanks Bane, been a long time a coming. Thank god for the patient folks in the PNW forum.

i thought I would go talk to my doc about this prior to making any changes, but as someone who is both a diver and a doctor do you feel like a regular doctor (as in not a super scuba doc like yourself) would be a good resource? Or should I consider consulting a different doctor even if just the...

Cool I will ask if they are alum80s or steel tanks. My thought was to break them down and have a tank of my very own, and then give the other to the buddy taking the class with me. Figured it is certainly not the MOST expensive part of outfitting ourselves but if one thing is out of the way we...

can't be that tough. Thanks Dave.

cool I wasn't sure of because they were containers for compressed gases there would be some sort of pain in the butt shipping issues or requirements. If it is just 100 bucks then I'm in.

An uncle I don't talk to often who lives in L.A. (I am in Seattle) was in town for a wedding and offered me a free double tank set up. He said he dove them three times before hanging it up. Knowing what I know about this guy he would have spent top dollar on whatever was the best option at the...
