I beg to differ. Surge pushed my head against a rock wall one time, and suddenly I felt kind of a tight painful sensation on my head only to realize that I had a starfish caught in my hair. To anyone who thinks ripping out a rubber band hurts, you have *no* idea. :D

Mine was a present that was purchased at my friendly neighborhood LDS.

I love that computer, and that's a reasonable price, about what mine was. It's a bit conservative on air, but not too bad.

Depends on where I am and what I'm doing. In the Philippines, I tried to use the 1 finger rule. But they have a lot of hard coral I didn't want to break. I was messing with a clownfish, though didn't initiate touching it nor did I go into its nest, and it bit the *** out of me for it! LOL...

I've also had both for the 5060, and though I've seen the Oly housings hold up quite well, particularly for the 5050, and I know some people have had no trouble with the PT-20, after flooding my camera on my FOURTH dive with it due to the same o-ring failure that everyone else had with the 5060...

Did she use the dive flag dog leash as a ribbon for the package?

Personally, I NEVER put my booty in the washing machine. I'm pretty sure it invalidates my insurance. Why build up excessive wear and tear on your booty? (I put neoprene in the bathtub with tepid water and sink-the-stink; washer beats it up, I would think)

Awesome!!!!!

How different is it from the first book?

Just please take care of this problem yourself. It may seem like a good temporary solution to rent a booty, but this ALWAYS leads to problems, and you may just end up with someone else's stinky booty.

Snorkeling in a pool for as long as I can remember. It did endlessly frustrate my parents (both former divers) that I couldn't clear a snorkel until I was about 13, and would instead, swim around like a fish, start treading water, take the snorkel out of my mouth, dump it behind me, and repeat...

When I was in the PI, the locals ended up converting about half our shop to papaya leaves. The orange top stuff works just fine for me, but papaya leaves (if you can find them) seem to work REALLY well for a lot of people. I'd also scrub it with dutch cleanser or abrasive toothpaste again...

BC: DiveRite Transpac 2: LOVE it Pros: Extremely comfortable; doesn't squeeze ribs Lots of modifications can be made to it, including switching out wings for different types of diving Cons: Price Very popular BC, so easy to mix up on a dive boat When you have weight pockets, the only...

Sorry, just saw this now. ;) Yup, my LDS carries all three brands. The DR was actually the lowest priced. I came in asking about the Halcyon, which was the one of choice for the girl (DIR, non fundie) that was helping me. She loves hers, and eagerly showed me their stock, but they were a...

I'll help things that aren't becoming an active part of the food chain. I certainly wouldn't get between a turtle and a shark... for a number of reasons. If a shark takes a bite out of the turtle and the turtle makes it to shore, thus the shark has been deprived dinner, THEN I may help the...

Breakwater's good. If he's still there, there's a particularly friendly harbor seal that likes to hang out between 20-30' at McAbee. Lover's Cove is good, just make sure it's at high tide, probably off beach 2, and make sure conditions in the area are good, but that's a very pretty dive around...

Spackle will end all cases of malodorous booties by sealing off the source of the smell.

I know! I was strapped for cash towards the end of the trip having put down quite a bit towards nitrox and night dives, so I passed on the Atlantis shirts since I had the Apo shirts, which though not made there (I would guess), provides work to the local women who sell them, though do they ever...

Anywhere? Well, when I "travel" the 3 hours to Monterey, I buy books, since one of the LDS' has a really good selection. ;) My first buy will be some type of t-shirt that specifies either the shop or where I'm diving. If I'm not traveling far (like to L.A.), that's all I will get...
