    $CUBA Diving Price$

    Basicly my situation is this: I have about $10k and 3 people who would like to do something fun for the summer. We have a 30 foot RV and a will to go just about anywhere... How much does an intro class normally cost? What about group rates? Would it be cheaper to get certified in my...

    Does smoking lower your SCR?

    What about cannabis smoke? Normally cannabis users smoke less then tobacco smokers (when have you heard of someone smoking 30 joints in a day? 30 cigarettes?), but again, its a different substance (and not to mention illegal in most of the free world)

    Good News...for Manatees

    Heh, I was going to chime in on this discussion after reading the subject title with similar feelings about the downlisting. Its like in that movie Finding Nemo, when all the aquarium fish are in little bags floating in the harbor... "Now what?" They went endangered for a reason... Then we...

    Active vs Passive sonar and marine life

    I'm in a Marine Science class at my highschool (we're lucky enough to have a great teacher who actually knows what he's talking about- he's a marine biologist- as opposed to someone writing notes on the board out of a book). Its a great class since we dont have to know any of it for a...

    Working out cardio + lung capacity

    I havent checked this thread in a ew weeks. I have great news.. I have found myself getting out of breath less and less. I remember when I used to climb the 5 stories in my school (shop in the basement to the 4th floor) , I'd get out of breath. Well, ever since I started running, no more! I'm...

    What does the future have to offer?

    Augmented Reality displays that replace dive computers and gauges, as well as nav systems and just about anythign else you can think of thats electronic. They'll be able to identify marine life, as well as give you a topside map of any boat traffic in the air via sattelite. It'll give you...

    how long can you guys hold your breath UW?

    I've been trying to increase my lung capacity... Normally, I hit 30 seconds and my body starts to freak out and I can feel my diaphragm contract, then my throat tries to suck in air, and it just goes back and fourth, as if i'm breathing, but nothign is going in or out. I max out at 45...

    i have never heard of this.

    I want to get back to the question of the camelbacks; anyone try one at depth? I dont see any problems with it. The camelback tubes have a built in on/off valve, so if you turn the valve off after you've had your fix, I'm sure nothign would get in. Where to stow it is another issue. What...

    Annodizing an alum tank

    Would it be safe/would it work? I know theres tons of different aluminum alloys, but would the industry standard tank hold up to an anno? In the paintball world, we get our markers (which are almost always made of aluminum) annodized with stuff like designer paterns (louie vatton, gucci...

    Working out cardio + lung capacity

    I started studying Martial Arts when I was 6 or 7, and did so for another 6 years. I worked out and excercised 3 times a week, sometimes more, and I was in fairly good shape (if there is such a thing as good shape for a 10 year old kid) I'm 16 now, and am talking about getting certified, and...

    i-pod housing

    I went kayaking a while back on the Boston Harbor Islands (going through Hull gut on a sunday afternoon gets you just about as wet as you'll get).. I took a handful of plastic bags with me. One for my cell phone, and one for my ipod (I actually double wrapped it). I also have duct tape...

    a thread ALL locals should read.

    No way, the salem is a piece of history that should be available above the surface for non-divers. Plus, its owned (or leased) by a private organization. I've done a lot of volunteering on it (I live in Quincy). I'll definetly be there for the halloween haunted salem. I'll be in cammies down...
