I bought one of these (DIN) and used it on my pony/deco bottle on my Oriskany dives this summer. I am very satisfied with its performance. AL

Do you have AOW or a Deep diver certification? To dive the Oriskany without a guide (DM) you have to have AOW or Deep Diver and have 2 logged dives to 80' or deeper within the past 12 months. To dive the Oriskany you need a minimum of 20 logged dives. I believe you need a minimum of 5 paid...

Nagel, How many divers are you bringing and how experienced? Any other activities you want to do while you are on the Gulf Coast? As you can see there are a lot of dive ops that service the Mighty O and most of them are good folks. A lot of the things that may influence your choices are how...

The Madison Alabama Quarry will probably be open on specified weekends as it was last year. We locals will try to keep the available dates posted here. I or Mike_S will drop some links as soon as they are available. There is a quarry in Moulton AL about 40 min from the Madison Quarry. It's...

Are we a go?? Inquiring minds want to know? I will be down from 6/9 to 6/16 if anyone wants me to participate or help out. I'll be diving with gary for two days and that diveshop not to be named in Pensacola for a day. I'll also get in a couple of shore dives. I'll be staying at Ocean Reef. AL

You'll probably have more luck over at the NC Wreckdivers forum. Seas have been rough lately. Water temps around 68 with 40-50 feet of vis at the end of April. AL

Takin the grandkids to Disney are we? We are going to be there the week of 12/9. Trying to beat the crowd. I don't have the date set yet. We are going to book the character meals and the Magical Christmas thing first and I'll fit it in one free afternoon. You doing the Mickeys Magical Christmas...

No not sad just prudent. I have well over 1000 lifetime dives and I don't feel the need to dive cold water anymore. Been there, Done that. Now if I have the opportunity to dive the St. Lawrence or Scapa Flow then I will feel the need again.;) AL

I've got a PST 100. I believe there was a bankruptcy involved and several years of non-production. This is from their news page mentioning their re-organization and return to scuba: " PST Scuba to Exhibit at DEMA Show October 17, 2006 E-Series Steel Scuba Diving Cylinders Return to Dive...

I was in your shoes once upon a time. See if you can get a good serviceable set of basic used gear. BC, reg, etc. You can save a lot of money that way and build from there. Assuming you have your mask, snorkel, and fins, an exposure suit ranks high on the list. Seeing as how you will be diving...

Glad everything went well and sounds like you got a great buddy. Kudos to her. I've lost both weightbelts and my ditchable pockets from my BC. The main difference is when i lost the belt I went to a barely controlled ascent. Since I had weights in my trim pockets I was able to continue the dive...

Tables can be a bit confusing if you're not proficient with them or haven't used them in a while. By all means ask an instructor, Divemster, or someone else you are diving with for help. Don't assume that you are the only person who has trouble with them. My dive buddy was having problems with...

Welcome, hope you have a great trip. How about posting a trip report in the Florida Conch forum about your dives. AL

PST quit manufacturing scuba tanks several years ago. There was a rumor out of DEMA that someone had resurrected the name and was using a Korean firm to manufacture the tanks. I did not know of any new manufacture of PST tanks. If you actually get your hands on a new manufacture PST tank you may...

I'm doing this during our December trip. Where's the best place for the family to hang out? The restaurant or the observation deck? AL

I was talking about it being 1:15 minutes from me. That's why I dive there. If I lived where you guys do I wouldn't dive quarries nearly as much as I do. AL

Since I mainly use my logbook as a personal journal of my dives i would say yes. I have never had anyone ask to see my logbook anyway. I don't know how it would affect any classes you may take in the future. AL

Actually we're diving it on the 10th. We'll hit two other sites on the 9th. AL

I was wondering what happened to you. I sent you an invite and didn't hear back. Now that's mighty unusual. AL
