    2008 SEC Football Discussion Thread

    On paper Georgia looks good but with their recent behavior they are starting to look like that Auburn team from a few years back that was supposed to win it all and ended up going something like 8-4. AL

    Tank purchasing questions

    I bought 2 HP 100's last year and I really like them. I think they a a real wise choice to start your tank collection out with. For most of my diving it's about the perfert tank. I'll probably also purchase a 120 in the future, but still do most of my dive's on the 100's. Plus the 100's make a...

    Hotel recommendations near Oriskany

    For the last two summers I've rented a condo on the beach in the Gulf Shores/ Orange beach area and drug the family down for a beach vacation. The condos are larger and more convenient than a hotel and sometimes less expensive. The family loves it and I can usually sneak off for a day or two of...

    Advanced Wreck Diver with Richie Kohler @ GGD

    Hey this is a fantastic opportunity. I've been trying to talk some others up here into taking your Gulf Diver class where the Deep and Wreck diver classes are combined. Maybe this will provide some motivation. I notice the redundancy air equipment requirements are really specifying doubles...

    Bahamas Liveaboards and Sea Sickness

    Suffered from motion sickness on my last Blackbeards trip and my last 6-pack trip in the Gulf last summer. I use the transderm scop patch and it works great. I like it better than the dramamine. Dramamine makes me drowsy. The patch gives me dry mouth and I believe makes me more susceptible to...

    Where to take Advanced Open Water class?

    If you want to head about an hour north, Divesports has AOW classes. They do a lot of their checkout dives down at Vortex and PCB. You might check Gary schedule out at Gary's Gulf Divers. I remember seeing his schedule but I don't know when the AOW classes were scheduled. He's in Orange Beach...

    Diving near the island of St. George, FL

    Panama City is going to be your best bet. At St. George the Appalachicola River dumps out there and the water is shallow and murky. There is a charter in that area, Killfish, that takes divers out to some really good wrecks like the Empire Mica, but these are advanced dives and I would recommend...

    BP/Wing as your first BC?

    That's a good breakdown and analysis. This is what I purchased 3 years ago "Seaquest QC pro". IMO it's a very good jacket style BC, got some nice bells and whistles. It's my third Jacket style BC in my 25 years of diving and the best of the lot. However I'm moving into a more technical style of...

    Seeking the elusive SDI Solo Diver course...

    I saw the SDI solo diver course listed on this guy's brochure http://www.betterdiver.com/index.html I checked the web-site and I see the price listed there. I don't know if Huntsville, AL is any closer for you than Atlanta but it's an option if Atlanta falls through. He'll be teaching a few...

    Saw my first "freshwater jellyfish" this weekend

    I'm real glad you didn't take them to see the jellies. They wouldn't have seen them anyway. You guys mucked the water up so bad I had trouble finding the zip line and trolley on my second dive. Took me three search patterns to find it. I'm glad you were able to hold the class. We've got two more...

    Saw my first "freshwater jellyfish" this weekend

    I'm glad that everyone had a good time. This is turning into a real fun annual event. I'm real appreciative of the family that owns and allows us to do the occasional dive in their quarry. I didn't bring the kids this year and I got to do a lot more diving. I saw lots of the little jellies...

    Pony bottle mounting on bcd

    I did it with a Seaquest Pro QCD 4+ on my Oriskany dives in June. Used a 50 cu ft steel faber. Rode fine. My BC is very similar to the XLT. AL

    The all inclusive Oriskany Thread

    Great idea Mat. Thanks for putting this together. This will be a great help for divers planning a dive trip to our area. I believe we should keep the original post up to date and make a sticky of it. Gary has pony bottles available for rent. Luckily I live close enough to drive and bring...
