Welcome to the board Bridget. Rock Divers is what you make of it. I like it because i'm "half-full" kind of diver. But I did get robbed in the pumpkin carving contest last year. 2nd place my eye, I lost to props and people that didn't follow the rules. I too was in the Army and was up the...

Just another film to feed the flames of shark hatred. Saw the preview during "The Punisher" and am looking forward to it. It is after all just a movie, don't read to much into it.

I'll chime in too.... I'd tell your son not to limit his options to just the Navy and diving. Had I know those years ago I would've joined the Army as a 00B (Diver) rather than a 11C (Infantryman). If I were a little younger and didn't have the bum knees, I go back in for it. Something to...

It's par for the course. We see literally 100s if not 1000s of trainees in a year at the UAT. Most make it with no problems, but there is always the minority. Last week one of our volunteers had a girl bolt on him from 12' and rip the reg right out of his mouth. He was more shaken than she was...

No trips in the works for our little groups until June. Taking the AOWs down to PCB for their dives and to satisfy the need to escape the quarries. Interesting group of kids here this week at camp. I had my first full blown panic attack by a trainee during skills. :) "And that's all I have to...

In the top of my bag. 'Nuff said.

Well, things are going well so far. Now that it's payday it'll be better because we can buy food and I can stop eating all the bad foods around the house. The riding to work everyday is geting more and more enjoyable. Am actually toying with the idea of getting up way to early one morning and...

I have a nutty idea. I'm sure everyone has seen the ThermaCare Air-Activated HeatWraps advertised on TV. Reading the FAQ on their website it says not to get them wet because they will stop working. Well, here's the thought, put one in a gallon size Ziploc bag and stick it between your wetsuit...

Boobie Cootiebutt father of Loopy Cootiebutt says howdy

I'd caution everyone about hitting that scale everyday. It can potentially lead to some very bad things. Twice a week tops, once is better.

Welcome to the board. Don't count KY out, some good quarry diving there.

The SCUBA bug first bit me on Okinawa. At 11 years old I couldn't dive, but I snorkeled the h-e-double hockey sticks out of that island. Watching divers go out and under for so long set in my head that I wanted to do that. Sure, it took 14 years to realize my dream of diving but now the top of...

nitrox, Since you live in the Cradle, can you tell a group of poor, broke divers a good place to stay?

Yes I did... and don't call me Shirley.

Just to clear something up, the pizza's I mentioned were never sold to the public with the exception of the BBQ one. It wasn't at LC either, it was at a local restaurant and it was a huge success. The others were a product of boredom at LC, Pizza Hut, Papa John's or any of the restaurants I...

You see them everywhere. Worn on shirts, displayed proudly beneath the red, white, and blue on flagpoles in yards, as tattoos, and even on cars. But I wonder how many people who proudly display dive flags on their automobiles actually dive on a regular basis. This ponderance started when talking...

I would've drove to Texas to dive her, but come on, we all knew where it would end up. Too many big names backing her to be in P'cola. Besides, come to P'cola, go to the museum and see the pieces they took off of her specifically for the museum.

212' would put the top of the mast at 42', isn't this a no-no? I thought any vessel sunk had to be at least 50' down so as to not pose a hazaard to shipping traffic. I'm thinking the 80'-90' mast is a bit on the high side too, a lot of that height was radar and radio antennas wasn't it? I think...

Well, I actually made it up at 0530 this morning, but nixed the gym. Am feeling lousy and figured riding to work as I do and going to the gym would be a bad idea. Dieting has never been something easily accomplished by yours truly. For one I don't believe in robbing your body of something it...

I don't get it.
