Since the trip is not until next year, I would have to support the other replys. I would suggest get Bozanic's book, then take a course locally to see if you really like it. Then you'll know how to plan your trip. If you find you really like it, you may want your own on a trip like that. The...

Thanks for the input. Right now though when I shoot a picture that normally would be lite just fine, its way too dark. Regardless of lite the -3 stays constant. I tried it diving last week and all shots were very dark, not normally the case. Any other thoughts? update: I took...

I believe my camera is in a bad state and I am not sure how to undo what has been done. The indicator is that I am keying on is to the right of the shutter and aperture indicators. I have the camera in manual mode, and to the right is a red -3. I initially assumed that meant that the settings...

I need a few things done to my DUI dry suit (replace neck & wrist seals, add p-valve) and am interested in how the zip seals are: Would you still get zip seals if you were to do it again? How easy is it to put on the gloves (dry) ? Are the dry gloves suitable for camera...

When you filled out the PIC there was a spot to fill in (above instructors name, that indicates where you want the card sent. If it is not filled out then it varies, sometimes the card is sent to the store sometimes to the student address. For how long it takes depends on which form you...

Diving last weekend (Aug 13), a group of us ended up in the area in which I expected to see the swim platform. It used to be in about 52-55 ft of water, about 30 yards off the pilings. Anybody dive it recently to know if it is still in the park?

DB, Sounds like you had a great time, bummer you are missing the dives tomorrow with the rest of us, hope that Seabass is not pouting somewhere and will instead come pose for pics tomorrow. wrt the issues C had, give me a ring, lets cover them and maybe a bit more practice we increase...

Diver Dude - email sent.

In my sheet I added depths with mixes, workload, and orifices. It makes it kind of obvious why Drager is so strict about what mix to oriffice. I then put conditional formatting on to shade it for values below .20 and above 1.4. And while its been many years (if ever) since I could burn 3l/m...

I've stayed there a few times. Nice place. Though sometimes the price I think is a bit high relative to some of the other places. The walk back with heavy gear can be tough, as you can not count on the cart ride. They are one of the few I think are really dive friendly and have place for you...

Actually I've seen this a couple times now, abet on a much smaller scale. I have coaxed octopus' out of their holes and let them climb up my arm. Where upon I get some nice shots. On a several occasions I've had people (usually divemasters leading a group) come and rip the octopus off my arm...

While this does not work on all suits, it does for me. I had similar complaints. I got a small spray bottle from one wife, and filled it with about 10% baby shampoo, and the rest water. I spray it on the wrist seals and neck first, then my arms, hands, hair and face. My suit pops easily and...

For Maui: I tried most of the operators out of Kehei and by far my favorite is Ed Robinsons' for many reasons, but I prefer more advanced diving and as a photographer my interests may be different than yours. Be sure you tell them what you want. Ed's is real good about grouping divers of...

All my trips last year and the first couple this year yielded a similar experience with dealing with the trailer guys. I really like John and when he's there the guys seem to behave better, but of late I've been bring my groups to Scuba luv and having them drop the tanks off, not as convienent...

I bring my wife, she prefers warmer water, and enjoys drawing and reading while I dive. I just have to be careful to give her plenty of attention during the SI, lest Dr. Bill see a potential prospect :) All kidding aside, that is what I do, my wife gets a peaceful day, I always take her...

DiverDave, Were you using DiveSorb, Sodasorb or other?

Great Picture, I didn't never seen one that before. About where on the Yukon did you find it?

Otter, no I am not an attorney, or any other related field. Just a diver interested in what to expect as my training continues. While I did get a debrief from the lifeguard who recovered Steve's body, as well as a debrief from the officer writing the report, I am not indicating that...

I think mech was refering to the Jetty. Its a good spot for bug hunting but can be very rough depending on the day. I would suggest the Cove, Hospital point, childrens or any of the areas near the La Jolla kelp beds. Point Loma can be good, but the entry is tough. If your really gun-ho then...

PadiScubaPro - you are dead on, recent events is my motivation behind the question. Many of us are trying to figure out why things were done. I am trying to convey doing the aforementioned drills while inside a wreck seemed out of line in the training I and others have to date, and since I am...
