I have a few photos I'll post later if I remember - they aren't as good as those urchine photos, but they are cool!

Does not exist - please post correct link!!

I remember some time back - not sure if it was the BBC's blue planet, or just some show on Discovery about sponges and coral spawning. I thought they said it only happens one time a year. Well, we went to Bimini for the 4th of July - and was privy to witness this blessed event!! It was...

Good replies - its nice to see that I'm not the only one that doesn't believe in this fallacy....

Ok - I'm going to come out and admit it - I've never seen this before..... ever. UNTIL we got our tanks filled at a PADI dive center down in West Palm Beach somewhere. For those of you who don't know what I mean - after a NITROX fill, the lady who filled the tank proceeded to lay the tank...

Hmm - from a price comparison standpoint - the UK light cannon is much better. For $159 (scubatoys, ebay, etc) you can get 470 lumens of output!! The Princeton light does kick arse - but it costs $100, and only puts out max 170 lumens - according to their web site.....For $50 or so dollars...

Sweet - thanks for the info guys.... I've been in and out of the scene for a while (although I've never dove one before). I read the book mastering rebreathers quite some time ago - and was immediately hooked! I can see some things have changed the past few years - Ouroboros, wow! The...

You know - it would be nice if anyone had links the the MH info....

Thanks for the advice. I will try that in addition to trying a new mask. I just looked at the local shop and saw they had some cheap Akonos masks for $35, which felt nice!

Actually I meant Master Diver - As someone else has pointed out as well, MD is different than DM. I really don't have a desire to be a DM right now, as there is liability. I just want to enjoy myself, not having to worry about who the lawyers can look to blame first if something goes wrong :)

Thanks for the replies. I have been diving with the same instructor for the past 5 years. He has seen my diving progress from the standard OW to where I am today (80 dives). Most of the dives I have completed qualify as AOW dives, according to NAUI (night dives, navigation dives, deep dives...

I have been diving for about 4-5 years now (since I moved to FL). I recently completed my 80th dive in Bimini (Bahama's) a couple of weeks ago. I was considering getting my Master Diver Cert from NAUI ever since I was OW certified. Does NAUI require you to obtain the advanced card before...

I just got back from 4 days of diving at Bimini (what a great place!!). During the last two days of diving, the base of my nose (between my nostrils) was in extreme pain due to the mask pushing on it. I searched on here and only found 1 other poster with similar experiences. Can anyone...

Wait a sec - I thought its not good to use certain things on the lens due to the coating.....Anyone?

Guys - thanks for the great info.....anything you can provide in terms of info would be great. It seems a lot of you think that price is the largest determining factor. Additionally, most of you think that skipping a SCR and goind to a fully CCR is the best solution.... I agree that...

I am doing a little market research. I for one would love to go all the way - and go rebreather - but, there are certain things stopping me (such as price for example). What specifically is stopping you from making the change? If you made the change, what influenced your decisions...

I just bought the Inon UCL-165 and wide angle lens - the UCL didn't come with anything to protect it, the WAL did. Both ends have a plastic/rubber boot, which I plan on carrying with me on my dives. Before I hand my camera up I'm going to cover the lens, because I KNOW how rough people are...

One of the big problems with the Olympus series of cameras (or for any mid priced digital cam for that matter) - is shutter lag. On these cameras its primarily due to two or three things - the autofocus, the flash recharging, and if you have the camera in P, or "Picture" mode, than the...

I'd love to dive it - just need to watch out for that monofiliment fishing line that you can't see! THAT would make a bad day of diving! You want deep in WI, you should try Green Lake - of course, that is if you can SEE anything! Its about 130 deep or so at one point, can't remember much...

I grew up in WI, in Appleton to be precise. Where is this lake, never heard of it? Doesn't look safe with all of those branches to get caught on!
