The Crater isn't as hot as a Hot tub. A water temp in a hot tub will sting your face when you stick it under the water. The crater stays around 89-92 degrees in the winter. It's probably a hot tub in the summer, but its a nice dive when you dont want to cut a hole in the ice. I dove to 60'...

Great.. I have my AOW dives at the end of March. If I can get one before that takes place then definately count me in on a BP/W set. Wahoo!

Get a Hammerhead plate they are inexpensive. Oxycheq makes awesome wings. There is also Golem Gear too. I just missed their Xmas sale which was unbelievable. Anything you go with will be the right decision.

I'd be very interested in purchasing the plate and wing setup from you if that happens within the next few month. If not then just the plate. Awesome plate design.

Went last night... Water was a cool 89 degrees. It was very steamy at the surface and hard to see, but vis was 40'+ underwater. It started getting dark right after we got there and it made it almost a night dive, but it was still a blast. There is a PVC diamond to swim through at 45'. I...

I'm doing my first OW dive at the crater today. We had it planned for last Saturday, but because of the big storm that hit, the roads into the canyon were pretty bad so we called the dive off. Maybe its different for classes, but the soonest were were able to reschedule our 2nd dive trip...

Try the Tusa-RS-130. I used one during my pool sessions and it was awesome. I was going to buy one, but I need a cold water reg for some of the dives here in Utah. There is a thread on Scubatoys.com about the reg and how good it is for such an inexpensive one. If you buy it through...

FYI... The 07 second stage weighs 273g and the new 08' weighs 263g. It's a little bit lighter.

Thanks that's just what I needed. I really like the new look.

I was getting ready to buy an mr22 Abyss and noticed that on some sites they are selling an 08' reg. Other than a new body style and a plastic cover on the hose to keep it warmer, are there any other differences?? One site said it was more compact, but how much more compact is it? The 08' abyss...

OK.. So technically these rollers will allow me to loan my BP/W to someone else without having to spend time re-adjusting the shoulder straps for them? How long does it take to adjust shoulder straps without this? I don't have a BP/W setup and I am planning on getting one. Is there that...

Venture scouts can shoot higiher power rifles like the 30-06. They are also allowed to hunt. Whereas Varsity scouts are not allowed to hunt. I wasn't at Pilmont, but at Entrada here in Utah they wouldn't allow anyone under 16 shoot the 30-06 and you had to be 19 to shoot the AK-47.

If you do this fund raiser make sure you tell your troop/team/crew to set the flag at least 3 feet from the sidewalk and driveway, that way they will avoid hitting sprinklers. The only time I didn't help do flags this year the Venturing Advisor at the time hit my sprinkler main by pounding the...

We hit a piece of rebar into their lawn on a slight angle and stick a piece of PVC on it with a regular flag attached. It's easy to do and we get a lot of help from parents in getting the flags out and picked up.

Many if not all LDS in my area offer discounts for scouts groups. They offer discounts on equipment and classes here. We start our OW class this January. We have already planned a few dives during the year and we will be diving during our high adventure too. As for fundraiser ideas, we do a...

I believe the program is called "Rugged Adventures" now. They have a few different courses you can choose from. They have 2 SCUBA programs. One is for those who need their C-card and other other helps you get your AOW. I am planning on taking my Crew in 2009 to this camp once we get a few...

I believe it depends on the Scuba BSA instructor.

does the data mask replace the dive computer? Or does it just compliment it?

The medium Bio-Fin weighs 3 lbs 6 oz per fin. I tried to find a weight for the V-12s but nothing is coming up in my searches. If you could weigh one of your fins then we'd know which fins are heavier.

I have only been a Venture Crew Advisor for a few months now. I was previously the Varsity Coach. I just finished leader specific training a few weeks ago. I totally agree with the age limits too, but there will be no Scuba MB if there is an age limit on the activity.
