Have a bare 3mm, Bare 7mm Artic w/Bare 7mm hooded Vest, and a Bare ATR Trilam Dry w/cuff's and drygloves... Would I buy a different brand, NO.... i've tried others, and Bare has the best quality in my opinion and they are built the last. They also stand behind their product quite well if you...

Yeah, I forgot to mention you can add the glasses thing too ! Yes, you can PURGE to clear the mask, or if you have air in your lungs, just exhale :) Edited my 1st post to include those advantages !

You know what this really all means............ The Rays are now doing COPYCAT stinging !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too much media exposure, so of course your gonna get your rays who want their 10 mins of fame....... Sigh..........

I dive with an Ocean Reef Neptune Nira II, I use a maximus regulator on it, altho they offer one of their own. They have this model and one new one called the Space. There are many advantages to FFM, and some disadvantages... Other good FFM's are the AGA , Kirby Morgan EXO setup. Most do...

Betail, in the pics I uploaded you can see we are doing the triangle method, works great ! I prefer full mask though, much more comfortable.

We lost 2 divers about 2 yrs ago, father and son who lived on a lake, lake was not fully frozen over, they walked out, went diving, got lost , I guess they went toward shore to try to break their way out, but at the shore line the ice was too thick, ran out of air they both did, and died...

Dumpster your probably right, I never got real into the techie details of water temps etc during our dives, my lowest temp my puter ever logged was 36deg, it was during this summer at about 100 ft. Spring fed lake. But what you said makes sense, the water next to the ice is probably as close to...

Actually if you look at the pix I uploaded, they are all of one of our ice dives. The 1st pic is me laying on my back with my hands up, then there is one of a chair we found on the bottom, another of my buddy where the strobe did not go off, but it looks really cool, another of my puter...

I know some ppl that use the warm water trick, it helps the scream factor abit. But I think it's more of a psycological help, I've tried it, and I can say It feels eaiser to get in the water, but getting in is really the easiest part. It's getting out, and getting to the camper or shelter...

I have dove ice alot, I have dove in wet and dry, I dove wet when I did not own a drysuit. You have to realize something, that in the lakes around here (midwest) once you get below the thermocline, you are typically near the same temp as you would be while ice diving. The only difference in...

I Ummm dont dive with one, Really cant, unless I take off my mask Nira Neptune II, I have a valve that allows me to breathe surface air, and in choppy waters or swells on the local lakes, I just turn my head so the surface valve does not get hit. I spose I should get a foldable as a just in...

I dive every weekend, no matter what the season is, I have a local quarry less than a mile away, so if I don't take the boat out, I'll go there, or if some friends are going and I decide to go w/em I'll go. Sometimes I get 2 dives in during a week. Depends on work, home life and opportunity :)

Well Since all my cert's are PADI, dunno what the other ones offer, but I heard that PADI and possibly others are offering a PEE Card, Not sure how many dive's it's going to be, and how much "volume" one must produce to get certified. But you could then take the PEEWIP (Pee Wetsuit Inspector...

I own a DC500 and I love it, I had a film camera prior, and it was a reefmaster 35mm, I kept the strobe and wide angle lens from that and bought the DC. B4 I wasted so much film on pics that I did not know if they would turn out or not, now I can see and delete it if I don't like it. It...

Ummmmmm, I wear a full mask, so I can't MOF or NMOF, and if my mask does fly "away" it's attached to my regulator, so I'd have to undo the quick disconnect on the mask and then throw it in order to lose it. hehehe So here is the question Us full fask mask divers, are we ABOVE MOF ??? come...
