A lot of that bad weather hit just north of Gilboa quarry (Ohio, USA) and headed north east. Many tornados, several dead and many injured. News is still breaking in with updates of the destruction. A truck and trailer on I75 was tossed over several lanes and is on its side. They are asking...

As I stood in line to vote last night, the girl in front of me said this was her first time to vote, she just turned 18! She was so excited. Told me she drove home from college after classes, several hours away, just so she could vote! Had to drive back that night as she had an early morning...

I am not a hunter but I do support those who do hunt, and hunt only what they eat. In my neck of the woods, the deer are severly over populated. This is due to the lack of natural preditors. Three times the number of deer are killed by autos then are killed by hunters. In addition, whole...

My mother went through an episode of Bells Palsey. Just one thing, she became tired very easily. When she did, the facial muscles drooped even more. You may want to call DAN to see if they have info on this. Good thing is that it clears up on its own. Best of luck to you and dive safe.

Any one need a dive buddy? Would love to join you all on the 16th.

Welcome from another Michigander! I think you will find this a great site. Glad to have you on board.

Been using my DUI 350 for last 9 years here in the Great Lakes. Well worth the money and have had no problems with the suit at all. Depending on the temp, just change the thickness of the undies. One thing, found most leaks on the purge valve is due to bits of debris, but very easy to take...

Bird VS Airplane....(graphic) As my father has been a pilot and owner of an airplane salvage company for many years, I have also seen what a bird does to a small aircraft! Talk about not a pretty sight! He had a goose hit his canapy once. We are very lucky to still have him with us...

If you need people to fill out the boat, let me know. Maybe I can be an honorary KY Piranha Patrol member as my dad's family is from KY. When you do get to dive the wrecks, you won't be disappointed! Besides, whats a little cold water. Keeps the wrecks in great shape!

No need to feel helpless, but don't be afraid to ask for help just cause you are a female. I have been diving doubles exclusively for the past 6 years, am a female(older female at that) and have a bad knee! I spend time each week in the gym with weight training to keep my legs and back in...

When I bought my dry suit I cut my hair. Now that it is long again, I have found that the lycra swim caps works wonders. If my hair is braided or in a pony tail, the swim cap works great. I also use it under my dry hood to help keep all those stray hairs out of the way. You can find the swim...

Shellbird, It's great to see there are other women who love football! But it really is GO BROWNS!

My screen name sums up my diving! I am a 48 year old female that loves to dive the wrecks up here in the Great Lakes and also loves to dive the caves in Florida and Mexico. I was certified in 92 and full cave cert. for last 5 years. I have done very little warm salt water diving but hope to...

Rooster1, I have done most of my training dives in Gilboa as have most of my dive buddies. The Sulfur layer has not been a hazard to anyone I know or to my self. The only thing I do is make sure I clean my gear very well as the sulfur can stick to your gear. Nomally you do not even notice but...

Also, May is also a more volitile month as far as the weather, May and early June you tend to get blown off the wrecks more. A couple of other points you may want to think about...Labor Day is a big weekend with Bike to the bridge and Walk the Bridge day. Not a good weekend to be in the...

Sounds like you had a great dive. I tore up my knee at the end of Arpil and hoping next weekend to make my first dive!!!!!! Always good to hear positive stories coming off of injuries/surgeries. Hope you continue to improve and your diving continues to go well. :thumb:

:balloon: The great thing about this board is that there is a great, diverse bunch of divers who can debate, chat, argue and converse about a lot of subjects. Let's just remember that we are all individuals. So if you please, don't lump me with those crazy people who are trying to get...

It is not just exotic fish being found in Michigan..........a gator was also caught in a lake near Detroit! We have great native wildlife, so no need to introduce new things!!!! We are now facing snakehead fish and before that it..........

I stay there every time when diving in Mexico, and would not hesitate to go back. The rooms are good, food is excellent, and the dive shop is on site. One thing, I go with basically the same group of divers and our instuctor is our guide. Don't know the guides that are on site. Aquatech...

I think you have seen what is called "Spare Air". If you do a search of this board by that you will get all kinds of info. No they are not ment for Scuba diving.....period. They may hold at best 3 or 4 breaths of air, not 15-30 minutes! (There is a larger size but it is not in most peoples...
