I took my PADI OW course online and of course I had some questions about the dive tables so when I went to the instructor to review all my materials, I was told not to worry about the dive tables and just to skip over those questions on the test because we use computers. No lie.
I had this happen to me once in a cavern when I was learning how to use my doubles. I inhaled some water which caused me to cough and have the laryngospasm. The coughing caused me to inhale even more water and I surely thought I was going to die. I even tried switching regulators thinking that...
Oh how I wish I could take the full week off and dive with you Geoff. :-) I was thinking about calling in sick Tuesday evening so I can get a fresh start to Marianna vs making the drive on no sleep. I'm thinking I'm just going to have to stoke myself up on coffee though, lol!
LoL! If memory serves me we didn't get all that far before you hit thirds. :-) Haha!!!

Or you can skip the whole backmount thing entirely and go straight to sidemount. :-) I am not at all partial to sidemount.
Congrats! It is a good feeling and something you should feel proud of. I'm getting very close to getting my 100 cave dives and reaching my 300th overall dive.
I just recently bought a drysuit and I have decided not to cut a hole in it for she-pee access. Being a nurse I have the bladder capacity of a horse so I just go before the dive and if I have to go during the dive I just hold it. :-) Until I start diving stages my dives aren't long enough to...
LoL! I have to laugh about the Wal-Mart masks. I was guilty of buying a Wal Mart mask and snorkel for OW. Granted I bought the most expensive brand Wal-Mart had to offer, it was the 'professional' grade set for $29.95. Fortunately the mask was pretty good and served me well throughout most of...
I am the furthest thing from a cave nazi that you can get and I can't even say that I should be one to talk, but even I have to say that you guys are not very smart doing the dives you did with the equipment you had. Single tanks and snorkels, really?? I have dove that cave system and it was...
I know exactly what caused it. I was using a 28 inch hose which was just a bit too short for my sidemount configuration. The hose was getting pinched off under the protector and I didn't realize it. With over 100 dives on that hose I guess it was only a matter of time. I now have a 30 inch...
Ah Chan Hol. A very beautiful cave. I was there in August and we found a human skull! Supposedly according to our guide it was a new find on our dive. It was really cool to have seen something no one has seen before. :-)
This picture shows why it is not a good idea to have hose protectors on your regulator hoses. You cannot clearly see if any damage has been done to the hose. This LP hose blew on me at the end of a cave dive. We had just finished a very long cave dive complete with saftey stop and literally as...
