Sea Hunt for sure...at that time you could buy SCUBA gear at Sears...they had triple tanks!!!

My son and I were at a diving Kayak demo this summer...very interesting and not difficult. The rig was very stable and during the dive it is your float and flag. I agree with the SIT back on shore... You need a dive buddy...

Wow sounds like a nightmare topside!! Missing tank and all...pretty rude...nice to have good dives though... I carry a medium size mesh bag that fits my fins, mask, snorkel, etc. It's just a little longer than my fins, fits right under where I sit, doesn't interfere with anything or anyone...

I would finish AOW first then get some more diving in. The deep diving portions of AOW could possibly put you in danger of pushing your depth limits on EAN. We got our nitrox certs for liveaboard diving up to 5 dives daily, it's the only way to go. Also got back up computers...back up...

I make notes in my log book regarding my gear for every dive...especially important is weight. This dive outfit sounds kind of hokey to me. I don't trust other people with my gear which I own and take with me on dive trips. I rely on the dive boat to provide tanks and weight...I decide how...

You might be surprised like I was...in fresh water 7 ml farmer john I use 26 to 28 lbs. Salt water 3 ml full jumpsuit I estimated 18 lbs. Reality was 12 lbs then back to fresh water with the same gear 10 lbs is enough. You are heavier than I am but I think a lot depends on breathing...

Right, SCUBA is an acronym so it needs special treatment in order to be used eloquently in conversation or literature. First "dived" is just plain wrong, period, end of story..."dove" is preferred except when used with an acronym... past perfect - went SCUBA diving both singular and...

I use mine to keep track of different gear configurations and weighting at different diving locations. Also, I dive with my son so we both make historical comments about certain dives for future conversation and trip planning. No one has asked for my dive log so far just C-cards and sign the...

I really enjoy St Croix USVI!!! I did my first AOW there in 2 days of diving then took my 15 year old son there the next year for his. He also finished in 2 days (5 dives). The Dive Shop I used was wonderful and they have some very good instructors, also some not so good so get an...

Hmm...at one of my favorite places to dive I have been escorted to the safety stop bar where there is spare air by one of my favorite instructors. I have been on many dives with this instructor. At first she would stay with me then gradually she would leave me at the safety stop while she...

My point of view...I would not buy a used computer because of the warranty issue. When I was a brand new diver I bought all new gear and I am faithful to the routine service schedules. My dive shop offers lifetime warranty on parts for my reg and BC. That's their main selling point to me to...

My son (16) and I (60) are dive buddies going on 4 years now. We both have AOW from NAUI and PADI and NAUI NITROX. NAUI Rescue diver will be our next course. We are pretty good buddies although he's getting stronger than me now! To me it's the next logical step...

Another question for you...do you have dump valves on your BC? My BC has 2, one at the neck and 1 at the waist. When I'm ready to descend I pull both valves simultaneously while exhaling completely. Part of that exhalation is used to equalize since I usually sink like a rock while doing this...

I'm in the Buffalo NY area and up here and in Canada we like our 7mm Farmer Johns you can add a hooded vest to this set up but I don't like it, too restrictive. I gave it to my son. With a 7mm hood I'm comfortable with water in the high 40s low 50s. The only spot that's cold are my lips...

Well said! One flag says it all and I have a real hard time navigating and towing a float and flag...

I think your weighting is the main issue. I had similar problems starting out. I adjusted my weight 2 lbs at a time until I could control buoyancy by breathing alone. I dump all my air at once on descent and never touch it again until I've finished my safety stop and I'm ready to get out of...

I'd make the supplier responsible for providing a quality product that works the way it's supposed to. Send back the junk...don't modify it or they'll have a case against you...you broke it you bought it... Or, return for refund and support your LDS :)

Early morning dive - Russian Pancakes (Blinichki) very lightly buttered and sprinkled with just a little sugar. SI - Fruit and water or gatoraid. Lunch - nothing heavy... Dinner - Anything goes and I like to sip red wine on the rocks.

Hmmm...liability... My son and I started diving when he was 12. He is now 16, I will be 60 this month. He is my only dive buddy. I know you have more logged dives than I do... We are now planning our first liveaboard vacation for next April. We both have 2 AOW certifications NAUI (cold...
