Try being a goal keeper with people trying to kick the ball while you're trying to jump on it...........believe me soccer shoes hurt.

cornfed....I'm moving to St. Mary county, MD that's fairly close to Metro DC areas isn't it? Any diving clubs over there? As for the original subject. Try going to www.padi.com and you can get the listing for all PADI affiliated dive shops in your country, state or if you have one in your...

Hi, I would like to know what everyone here thinks. I was having a casual discussion with some new friends I made in Russia. A subject of what sports do you participate came up. I said SCUBA diving. I was told that scuba diving is not a sport, it's more like a hobby. I came across the...

You didn't mention where in Northern VA so I was wondering if some of the dive shops in Southern MD may be closer. There is a Sea Dive INC in Solomons, MD.

oppsss...will not allow me to delete

Could be worse...I saw people diving in Lake Baikal, Siberia in Feb.:D BTW welcome to the board. :)

Welcome to the board.:)

I was born next to a large river and the ocean was near by also. I've lived near water most of my life but that did not have anything to do with me getting into SCUBA. However my total time spent on an aircraft carreier is almsot 2 yrs. While I was on the ship we stopped in Guam. I got my OW...

They were idiots........

The Kitty Hawk is currently dry docked and that's no secret but to give actual schedule of ship's movement can get people thrown in jail. When the fleet is in I've seen dive spots PACKED. GTDS and MDS are usually the worst dive shops if the fleet is in. There is no way to plan for the ship being...

I rinse after every dive but not as much with salt water dives.

I guess I lucked out. I'm from Orlando and we have a Divers Outlet retail store. I'm stationed out of state and when I want to order something I usually go to their website. Divers Direct I think is one of the largest online retail store. One time I bought a dive bag online and the first time I...

Hello Alfred, After getting my OW my first dive was in Botany Bay. It was also a shark dive. We saw a lot of Sand Tiger (aka grey nurse to you.) It was a great first dive. Too bad I got sea sick and skip the 2nd dive.....

I have August 29 to Sept 1st off and I was thinking about a trip to Okinawa. Any ideas on LDS that I can go to? My wife is a diver too and she'd want an English speaking divemaster but she's lived in Tokyo for almost 8 yrs so she can wing it if the DM just speaks Japanese. I'm Japanese but I'm...

my biggest problem with diving in cold water was bouyancy. I wasn't sure how much lead I needed. Plus more I had to wear less comfortable I felt. I feel more claustrphobic in a 8 mil wetsuit than no wetsuit or a tropical shorty.

I was wondering where you're getting your Dive Master certification. Some diving schools offer a resort certification and job placement.

Hey I got my OW with them. One thing about Guam....don't go diving when the Kitty Hawk battle group is there. Or when they have military exercises....Saipan is another place you may want to look up. The airfare to there is about the same as Guam.

I forgot to mention...if you can back those photos on to something else. Recently I've been able to buy DVD+R in Tokyo for less than $1 each.

Be careful when you use those online photo host sites. A whilke back I was using one to host pics for my ebay auctions. Others were using it to host thousands of pics. They went belly up with out any notice. :(

Antarctica or Lake Baikal in Siberia anyone? I'd first need to take a dry suit course.
