Some models of BC, you actually pull on the corrugated hose to activate a shoulder dump valve

How about swimming under the dive ladder or a black catfish swimming in front of you?

Thanks yall, much appreciated.

I've talked with a few divers here I know and am ham hasing a trip to Bonne Terre Mine next spring. Will keep you posted. Im probably done for the year, between the water temp and finances.

The cove in the middle of the picture is a good place to shore dive. Decent access from the day use area and from the beach if its open. One of the LDSs has a couple boats and other things down there to look at. Cove is protected by no wake buoys but boats will still come in on occasion. The...

My FD is trying to put a team together. So far we only have one ERD and two OW. I'm hoping to take ERD I this next spring. You might look up ERDI/SDI/TDI...they might can put you in touch with others PSDs.

Yeah. I am not gonna say anything about the five or six foot around here... =)

WOW... Nuff said.

I've only been to Beaver Lake out here, haven't tried Stockton although its closer. How is Oronogo?

Ranger being positive, you mean positively buoyant right? So if I understand this right... A BP/W has better (meaning less) buoyancy than a traditional BC? I'm guessing because of all the webbing and fancy stuff right?

I'm going to Kansas City tomorrow. Maybe I can stop by a dive shop and actually put my hands one one.

Well, I am finally looking at buying my own set of gear. I want to find something that I can use both for Rec and in the future Tech diving as well as PSD for my employer. Due to budget constraints, we have to provide our own initial gear. A coworker who is an ERD wears a ScubaPro...

I have never seen that, it is certainly interesting. Firefighters cylinders are upside down for several reasons. First, while crawling on the floor of a burning building, you don't have have that valve hanging out there like a grappling hook. Also, that way the rear brim on our helmet doesn't...

I already have a PADI OW cert. There are both PADI and SDI shops within drive distance from me. I am leaning towards SDI/TDI because I know I can get an ERD class there and others from my department have trained there with positive experiences.

Ok, I searched for a topic like this but I could not find it. I would like opinions of and the differences in different certification entities. i.e. PADI vs NAUI, etc. Also, I am interested in the AOW and specialty classes with SDI/TDI since my ERD class will probably be thru them this...

Actually, I live in Nevada, Mo and looking for other divers in the area.

How about a fly rod reel?

I learned I am in better shape than I thought I was.

Ok, you really need to elaborate on this one... puking through a regulator...

How about a rolling luggage carrier of some sort? Or a lightweight two wheel dolly, or shoot iy you have a truck, get a nice big one with off road wheels. As for lifting, look into one of those wheelchair lifts you see in the backs of pickups. That would most certainly work. I can come up...
