My first picture posting on here.., still a camera newbie.... Took this on Saturday of my 16 year old daughter. Vancouver Island, 35 feet of water, 30ft vis, DC600, wide angle no strobe.

Guys!!! Remember your basic dive physics lectures. Things look BIGGER underwater!! (I always use that joke during basic o/w classes.., that the person who discovered magnification underwater invented skinny-dipping the next day)

I don't think anyone worth their weight in dive gear would ever claim to be a SME in your sense of the word, Gary. However if someone has the proper levels of training...., the years of experience in PSD..., and that through these standards you are called upon to set up or establish the...

Sorry.., stands for "Subject Matter Expert" You use these acronyms long enough and you forget not everyone knows them

I know that most have been mentioned.., but here's mine. New Brunswick Deer Island Point. Simply the best in the bay. And down by the point, not across from the old custom station. Love the 'fingers' ~sigh~ Nova Scotia - Wreck of the Letitia, Birchy Head for a shore dive...

Gang.., look at the other side of the proverbial coin..... We shouldn't be talking about how much the training costs.., but rather as resident SME's (for those that are at that level) the real question should not be how much does the training cost but rather.... "How much are you willing...

ha, ha.., I certified in '83.., so I know the gear config well!! Welcome aboard!!:dork2::dork2:

Cdreamer, It is not illegal to see or film a seal hunt, it is illegal to be within a specified distance of the seal hunt without proper permits (I'm not sure of the distance right now) When the protesters started going to the ice years ago, there was no restriction on where they could go...

Now THAT is a great answer!!! All great comedians know..., the humour is in the truth :dork2::dork2:

That's an old vasectomy patient trick...... but don't eat the peas!!

Hey paowdan, Welcome to the board. I'm not going to wade in here as I have no idea about Padi discovery stuff. Don't be too put off of people questioning your time in, as it is quite unusual to accumulate bottom time in minutes. Most convert to hours/minutes. (I actually did the math to...

I'm going to wade in here.., simply because my rear-end is getting sore from sitting on the fence. I've been reading this thread and wondering if anyone actually thinks they are going to change the mind of the others? I am making an assumption here and thinking that a large majority of those...

Thanks for the great welcome.., I won't let you down And now.., for the rest of the story..... Eight or nine years ago I was setting up some open water checkouts for a class, and a good friend of mine who owned the LDS was helping me out. I had lime green fins for a while, mostly because we...

Okay.., now WHO EXACTLY is going to pay for a new keyboard!! It is first thing in the morning and I just spit coffee all over my keyboard and monitor when the elevator music came on. (Nothing like hot coffee to clean out those sinuses) Top shelf guys!!!:beerchug:

Hi irie.., I'll throw my $0.02 worth in. I assume by 'charts' you are referring to dive tables and you are comparing your bottom times with your tables as opposed to the computer you were using. When I got my first computer many moons ago, I did what you did.., sort of did both tables and...

I've never seen the show.., but I heard it was a good one. Their crew spent a day shooting with our team during a tough search for two 14 year old boys.., but we ended up on the cutting room floor. "Face for radio..." was the explanation;)

Good luck with the D600. I just got one myself. Daughter #1 decided her high school science project this year should be on the absorption of colour underwater, so we tag-teamed my wife and convinced her we needed a dive camera (for Science and Education...., not for me):14: Not planning...

Great stuff guys..., love the pic of all the cars. Please keep us updated on the bones story, I`m curious to know the outcome of that one. That`s a new one for me.., never got bones in a car although did set that scenario up for newbie`s last year for training. Just validated my scenario...

Is there a course to become a dork diver or do I just have to 'come out'?? The Mantra in the sticky pretty much describes me to a "T", plus a few add-ons. I pretty much flood my mask once a dive because I laugh at something underwater.... I'm a champion at "tank rodeo" (getting...
