Welcome to the board. My best suggestion on equipment is to go to you LDS, and talk with them. Pretty much any of the gear out there on the market will work for recreational dives. I would use the rental gear you get from the class, and try on different gear at the LDS. My preference is a...

I agree with in_cavediver. The position of the tank will make a humungous affect on your trim. When I setup my gear I make sure that my tank is high enough so that I can reach back and turn my valves if needed. As far as tanks slipping out. I have had a tank slip out while u/w, was a pain in the...

HAHAHA LMAOROFL:rofl3:

I have a dry suit in florida, I use it for springs and the winter dives, as far as summer dives, I go in a 3 mm or a rashguard

I try to do atleast one weekend trip a month, usually getting about 4 dives in per trip. Since I'm a full time college student, money and time are very rare. Although As soon as I get out of school this semester I have my Intro to Cave course that first weekend, and plan to spend as much time in...

Tiger Woods was at Cave Excurision in Live Oak (Cave country) in North Florida, pretty sure he dives, but I don't know his lvl of diving

I use the snorkel when i'm diving a popular dive site and need something to differentiate my anchor line. Other than that, the damn thing just gets in the way.

SING!!!! i know it sounds weirds but you will always be breathing and mostly exhaling.

I guess im considered hobby, I dive about 2 times a month. Not as much as I would like, but being a full time student in college takes up most of my time

My interest in diving was the pretty ness of the ocean. I soon found out that pictures and video do not do it anywhere near justice. I then started diving more and more, and loved just the feeling of being underwater, weightless ness, quietness, no cell phones going off!!! It became a time for...

Yes Scuba diving is dangerous, we are entering a world that we can not do with out life support equipment. Therefore it makes it dangerous. But as other people post, you plan your dive, dive your plan, and stay within your limits. You do not let other people push, because if they push you...

Diving is not a sport, it's a way of life. No, actually diving is a sport, you do have physical activity, you are in the outdoors, and as far as competition goes, I'd say its very competitive. You are competing against yourself being in a foreign environment, trying to make it as safe as...

If I am ascending I stay on the anchor line because I'm the one with the less amount of air in my tank. As for letting air out of your BCD to ascend, I start my ascent and deflate as nesscary. I do little shots of deflate, just as if i was trying to achieve neutral buoyancy on my descent. As...

I'm 5'4" and use a 7-ft hose, i have done both stickin extra in the waist and now run it under my cannister light. I have never had a problem with the extra.

I usually always do the ok sign

I've had similar problems. It only happens to me when i get an ear squeeze when trying to surface not on the decent. Usually I am wearing a hood too, I don't know if makes a difference though. When it happens my ear stays in a fog for about a week or two, but I dont have any pain, and I try to...

I have a 6-month old Schnauzer thats weighing in at 25 lbs also. Love him to death though. Anyways, I would go with a standard second stage, IMHO the Air 2 are just hard to work with in an emergency situation. And if you have a chance to try a back inflated BC i would highly recomend trying...

Depending on the type of dive it was, i would dive with a buddy not having an octo. Especially if I am using my own gear which has either independent doubles or a single tank with h-valves
