Hey Mongrol, Welcome to the board - I will second Mike on the setup and the thoughts on using AL80's - I dive LP104's and they are great. With AL80's or steel 60 lbs of lift is more than enough... Consider this: How much weight do you need at the surface to be slightly negative when...

Yeah - That's it - that makes sense - I'll have to go home and re-sling that tonight and see how it works - I know I get annoyed at that spare double ender getting in the way... Thanks, Big T

Well - I voted for a car - as there was no space for my Audi A6 wagon - Not an SUV mind you - decent milage, tiptronic and one heck of a good stereo that will blast Sibelius from here to Canada... However, I have noticed that a nice Gavin scooter would probably work better as a chic magnet...

Hey Mike - I understand that - I have bungies myself - but it looks int hat image like Pina has setup a double cord across - I was just wondering what that was about... Big T

Hey Blargh - I think you got the idea on the suit - girl pink is also available from some places - but is not recommended... As far as the pockets go - I have bellows on both sides - and so does all the "DIR" sivers I know - I'm not sure what the other pockets are, but basically you need...

Buff - I do appreciate your sentiment - I follow the same school of thought - and I had the opportunity to read the manual before it became a book (I had no pictures). If you can get past the tone that is set sometimes - it is a great resource for improving your diving skills. Congrats to...

Hey Shooter... Sounds like you did some homework... all the gear you mention is nice and something I would recommend - except the BC - I have never seen it, less been diving with it... If you are considering going semi technical in the future -I would agree with Martin that you shoudl...

Hey Zagnut, I have learned to be a little careful when I hear such things as "excellent maximum sustained speed" - I have to ask you - what is your purpose of using these fins? To get from point A to Bas fast as humanly possible - OR - to move around on a reef while looking at a zillion little...

Hi Dee, I have noticed that a couple of people have the olympus camera and I wonder what you have for manual controls if any? I have a Sony DSC-P1 and I like it - but have found that it is hard to focus and certainly hard to control exposure on. Does any digital cameras have the same...

From the 5th D list I got word this morning that the US series stop at 109 - this affirms that this only affects the regs sold overseas. I see no reason whatsoever to go with anything else due to this... Big T

Hmm, I'm here now - may be heading over to Pennecamp tomorrow - or down to Key Looe (sp?) - any locals with recommendations? I'll be here over the weekend and would like to get acouple of dives in. Thanks, Big T

Hum - I know I'm new to this area - 6 years and counting - but I NEVER thoght the skiing here was anything to write home about - naturally - I was spoiled with artic powder for 5 years too... ;-) Big T

Hehe - you're right - the water temp goes from a balmy 55 to a cool 48... Ya - maybe add some argon... Big T

Ok - I just had another thought and this may or may not appeal to people... I have the notion that a lot of people probably purchase their books online - I was thinking that ScubaBoard could become an Amazon affiliate and have a small section where diving related books are listed - when...

OK - I have been to the bookstore here - it's actually pretty well stocked. I got two new titles that I have not had time to read yet: "The Helldivers Rodeo" by Humberto Fontova About offshore oil platform divers in Texas... "Treasures of the Deep" by Hugh Edwards Some tales form the...

Yeah - well - I'm NOT outta here - and I'm in CA so I'm NOT going night diving... Bummer - you and Dave have fun... Big T Sara - whaddaya mean "joking" about night diving?

Yeah - I agree with you Syruss - accusations from the mouth of a lawyer is not something I take too serious - that guy is out to make money... If it turns out that it is actually the case that is a different issue - but currently we are dealing with rumors and a potentially good operation...

Hehe - I found a VISA card at 40 fsw... that was pretty cool - unfortuantely my physique does not lend itself to "Sharon" which is the name on the card... Big T

Hey I like it - Good place - look forward to participating... And Butch... You sure know how to get yourself a new one... Good luck... Big T

Ok, that's it - I am becoming an armchair diver... Big T
