and I thought I drove John Grogan nuts. Oh well, these days I just ask Stuart. Re Vplanner. Right now, since Ive yet to load the latest upgrade, it is set on 2. My question, and I don't think Ive gotten an answer yet, is how to deal with swimming decos in caves. Setting it at 2 seems to...

Being a Cold Water Barbarian (Cozumel? Florida? Blech!) I'm very interested in learning more about UK diving. I was all slated to go this year, but circumstances relating to 9-11 stopped that, so I'm shooting for '03. I know Tibbs (I think) from the DIS-UK list. Finished Full Cave and...

But, I have 10 days off, the 15th thru the 26th. Part of that WILL be spent cave diving. 2 buddies can't make it and I've not spoken to Hodges yet. BUT I NEED TO CAVE DIVE. I can meet you at Roubidoux or Poplar Bluff (for Cannonball). Helium is on the way, but may not get the fill station ready...

Entered through the "What's New" page. Dive safe Brock

Link does not work anymore:( dive safe Brock PS then again, it could just be Okie Paranoia (gawd, I hate this state!)

Hey! I added you to my buddie list and sent you a PM of some "secrets". Dive safe Brock

Campana. no need for the eggshell walking. As I said- I'm not DIR (neo suit, B-W-O-Ds that I use from time to time, etc.) Thinking and practice are 2 different things. I can "think" DIR all I want. DOING relies heavily on the actions others. That takes time, especially when money and...

If I don't go to the UK, Hopefully I'll be able to do a trydive with our own padiscubapro this August. Now buying and training is another story. It's that new roof vs inspiration dilemma;) Finishing Normoxic this month, then I'll see where I go. Scapa is at least 2 years away. I...

Caves are too cold and lakes are too full of phosphates:( probably no more that 4-6 lbs. But then again, I'm a sinker;) Dive safe Brock

Nope! Either Mine LaMotte OR Oronogo can get that cold in early spring at depth. Hell last year I recorded 38 deg at 104 in Lake Superior! In JULY! Dive safe Brock

As Dave's non DIR buddy ( I'm Hogarthian at best) I say welcome! Glad you could make a go of your DIR fundies class. I and a guy in Austin tried to get one going in central TX and got no commitments. I now have buddies that are interested in team diving, so we are gradually standardizing...

Hey Todd Did you get the Tech model? I love mine! Dry as a bone and warm as toast! I've not had an opportunity to try the dry gloves yet. The best thing is zero drag. That alone has made swimming much easier! The valves work just right too, dumping air just when they need to. I'll stick...

LOL Jonathan! I'm going to the UK in August, I'll see if that's true. I had a front entry Polar Bear and the torso zip was too long. Since then I've always gotten a back zip and p-valve. I now have a made to measure Northern Diver "Tech" with the Flectalon undies. I hour plus dives in 43...

I'll need a buddy with one too. Maybe Sue and Steve's buddy Bob will be up for it. After watching the 2 RB divers bound out of the water while Bob staggered among the rocks under the weight of doubles, I know I would be! Yeah Mike and Joe, I actually got an unsigned email warning of the...

Boy if yooze guyz only knew how much trouble my interest in the Inspiration has gotten me! Untold horrors, death and dismemberment if I so much as gaze on one! Regardless of that, I've pretty much decided to train on it in '04 so I can use one on my trip to Scapa Flow that year. Patty...

tho the Extreme Exposure lights are awfully sweet. And AUL can convert my halogen to 10w HID for less than 300. That is, if I ever stop using it long enough to send it in. You should be able to get an EE or AUL for a good price, then up grade to HID when ready. The batteries for them...

Roguediver's query. Those seem to be among the best. Dive safe Brock

:rolleyes: Oronogo and Santa Rosa are used as open water training sites. what's the big mystery? and if they are diving that deep, why use Dolphins? NOT ALOT OF SENSE BEING MADE THERE! dive safe Brock

If you get the chance, after you certify, join the NSS and hook up with local cavers. Most of them will be drycavers, but if they know you, they'll call on you and your buds if they find something worth looking into. T-A-G caves, like those here, tend to be on private property, so being a...

and it was standard #24 braided cave line. From the algea stains we figure it had been in there less than a year. Not kewl, dudes. Behavior like this led to Florida landowners dynamiting cave entrances. There's plenty of cave for all. Ya just gotta ask, show some respect, and know your...
