Well, I bought this rig as I felt it would be better for the type of diving I like to do, which is artifact hunting. I didn't trust all the plastic of my jacket type BC, wanted to get rid of the cumberbund and little waste straps, and have more attachement points. To keep hands free, all my...

Makes me wish I was back in Broomfield! That dive shop rocks! I was on a trip to Bonaire with my new local dive shop in Chattanooga, and guess who was on the plan with me? Greg and a bunch of Colorado divers! What a neat coincidence. He told me they had a new shop, congrats and good luck...

Not quite sure what this means Zulu, seems pretty simple, pull it to lips and breathe. I practiced it in the quarry and it was a lot easier than trying to find an Octopus, and one less line for entanglement. It IS a tad short, but not unmanageable. I am going to upgrade my primary to a 7...

: So the Wreck Valley crew hosted one of the Dixie Divers (me) and his newbie buddy at Dutch Springs this weekend and I must say that the Scubaboard hospitality is alive and well with the Wreck Valley divers. Spratman (glad to see you got your handle changed), you're the best for hooking me up...

I took the plunge and bought my Apeks WTX with SS BP last night. I'm going to dive it this weekend, so I'll post my impressions. I too got the weight pockets. Really nice stuff, but I got hammered on price. Bought from my LDS as I wanted to have their expertise and assistance should I want...

I found an odd one this weekend. A sterling silver "sugar sifting" spoon. Quite small and delicate. Looking it up on ebay, they command a nice price, but alas mine was pretty beat up and would be worthless other than as an addition to the odd collection.

Speaking of Dutch Springs, I'm also going to be visiting the area and will be there on Sunday Jul 30th. Anyone want to dive with a visiting Dixie Diver? I'll have a buddy with me, and he's fairly new to cold water also.

Be prepared for a very different diving experience from what you're used to. The heavier suit and hood will make you feel more constricted and a bit more clausterphobic, the additional weight makes bouyancy control much trickier, and having thick gloves decreases your ability to grab small...

Washed all the way up from Jacksonville, WOW!

It looks like they have a pretty interesting trip to Ontario. A little too far afield for me. I'll have to dive on another trip I guess. Don't feel too bad for me, I leave for Bonaire tonight!

Thanks for the offer, but I'm forced to dive too many small lakes now, I'm really hoping for a Great Lake shipwreck dive to make hauling all that gear worth it (plus, I have to pay for a couple extra night hotel and rental car). Have a good dive, I'll have to get a TN river dive in that...

I did chat with Chuck from Ocean Sands, but they won't be running a charter that weekend. Really hoping to finds some local SB'er to either shore or boat dive with.

I will be visiting the Grand Rapids area for business July 14th and 15th and would love to hook up with someone from the area to do a dive. And yes, some of us southern divers have dry suits ;) This will help my long term goal of getting a dive in every state (I have about 40 to go :D ). I...

Congratulations on your open water Nate! Look forward to seeing you on the board and in the water:coffee:

Where is Dauphin Island???

That book is a prime example of how a "treasure" salvor can contribute more knowledge about history then any of the underwater anthropologists (did you read Daniel Lenihans useless book?). Glad to see they are still gleaning historical knowledge from that wreck. What I found interesting about...

Why doesn't one or several of the light gurus post a FAQ or overview sticky to save time for newbies reviewing this forum? I've browsed quite a bit trying to get an nice overview, but it's to "polluted" with off topic discussions. This would save a lot of post with questions like "What's the...

Can anyone recommend a shore dive on Lake Champlain (New York side preferably). I will be staying in Plattsburgh but would be willing to drive a ways in either direction.

I'm looking for boat rental information on the Cooper. We were planning to dive in the Cypress Garden area. We could tow a boat to that location but we're looking for a boat rental right on the river if possible. We would be willing to motor upriver quite a ways if need be. Ideally we'd...

I'm going to Plattsburgh to visit family over Memorial weekend, and was hoping to dive. I'm bringing my dry suit, and would dive for anything (fish, bottles, wreck, you name it). I'm sure I can book something with a charter, but always enjoy diving with other SB'ers whenever I can. I'm also...
