I agree with wreck wrench. I think that the 2+2 class could be something like $300 for the course and the longer class could be like $150. So since the longer class is cheaper, most people would opt more for that (in diving money is always an issue). I think that the the skills that are being...

can we throw a guestamite of scuba related deaths in there too. I know there has been 563 deaths in underwater caves since 1960

I got a nice Akona 5mm hood, although its a little small so i need to take it back and get a bigger one

Well, I'll be the trail diver for it, I have often thought about diving it, but always thought was a stupid thought and people would make fun of me. But I'm glad i'm not the only one that has thought of it.

well i was certified in a north florida spring with gin clear water. so i could understand if they were saying it with that aspect. But from what i understand about quarries, is that they are a lot like the north florida springs minus the viz. With the lower amount of viz, it would be make the...

Yup I would suggest the BP/W, but the zeagle's are great BCDs. It all depends what you prefer whether its back inflation or jacket. I would suggest if you decide on a back inflation i would get the BP/W they are more versatile and a lot easier to customize.

many manufactures make the single lense mask, Scubapro has a nice frameless. I have a genisis single linse. Most shops have a mix so best would just be to take her there to try them on. Good luck to ya

I BSA alot. I usually dive a single steel tank that will get me through just about 2 dives. One to 90-100 ft and then another at 45-60 ft. usually the last 10 min or so i bsa from my buddy. Now before people start yelling at me, we have prior agreed to it, and he is also wearing a set of...

when and if you start diving doubles you will want a manifold with an isolator. also when diving into overhead environments you would prefer to have 2 first stages there for you can either use doubles with a manifold, or a single tank with h-valves.

Depends for your class, most ones that I know supply you the BCD Reg and tank therefore you need : mask fins snorkel booties gloves and a time monitoring peice to get your started and a bag to put all that crap in In general diving you need: mask, fins, booties, gloves, bcd, regs, tank...

Basically, you don't want to end up in a decompression chamber, they are expensive. It all depends on how deep you go and for how long. you can even be at 10 feet and have to decompress. Now when you talk to people that participate in decompression dives, they dive down to their depth for how...

Good Post, but a few things to change. Yes it can be worn by newly certified OW, but it doesn't have to be on a BP/W system. I dove mine with a ranger for years. The main reason why the 7 ft hose came about was when your in penetrating in a cave or a wreck, and you have to go single file, the...

Go dive, because some of the certs you'll go after (Intro to Cave i know in particular) requires a demonstration of your skills. Yes you may have all the cards to take ie Intro to Cave, but most likely won't have the skill level. I myself have 300 or so dives under my belt, and still had trouble...

all i know is that I am very picky on who services my regs, if I don't do it than there are only 3 other people that I will let. I'm not exactly sure what the class is, but I believe that each manufacture puts on their own class.

Wow my LDS charges 45 bucks to service one set of regs (one first stage and 2 secondstages) parts included. But with having 3 sets of regs I'm doing them myself now, and the service parts are about 15 bucks per set of regs

As from what I learned this past weekend in my Intro class, there have been 563 deaths from 1960 in Florida Caves. So far this year we have had 0 deaths with about 11 days left. I'm sure everyone reading these post would agree lets try to keep it at 0 deaths. I also learned out of 563 deaths...

I carry a bright orange lift bag, that i would deploy with my safety reel that I always carry. I also carry atleast one if not two back up lights which i would conserve the batteries and use it at night to attract a boat or aircraft's attention. You definetly want to stay together, and I would...

ORISKANY!!!!! good luck have fun and stay safe. Merry xmas

Well i just finished a goal which was intro to cave, now i just want to refine and tune my technique and just dive

Hey guys, I appreciate anyone who can help me with this. Currently I have 2 Heisser LP 104 tanks. I bought a set of bands for lp 95's and both 95s and 104s have an 8" diameter. I really want 95's as doubles as my 104s are a bit long a very heavy, but I dont have the money to buy a set of 95s...
