Rooster1, Just my $.02. I have been diving the Dive Rite BP/Wings for last 7 years. No problems, love it. Many of my friends dive OMS. I know several who did not like the bungees with the OMS after they got them, but never had a big problem with them. I think you will find that up here...

Welcome from another Michigander!!!!! Always nice to have another local on board. We have quite a few from Michigan here. Again welcome.

:bounce: Glad you stuck it out!!!! We live a great state for diving and you have just opened the door to all that is out there! Here's wishing you safe and wonderfull diving.:)

I am not a fireman but my last two dive buddies were. As I understand from discussions with my dive buddies, SCOTT air packs are not set up to be used underwater but on land. I think even the valves are different. These tanks have no use for SCUBA!!!

Are you talking about the Portage Quarry just south of Bowling Green Ohio? I dove that many years ago. Rather go to Whitestar or Gilboa. Have you tried either of those?

Yup, you know my neighborhood! I use to do charters out of sanilac and Lexington, there are some decent wrecks. My neighbors niece got married on the Mary Alice B, a tug, in a underwater wedding off Lexington. There is also the Regina, the Sport and the North Star. But if you want really...

My former S.O. and I were certified together and dove mostly as a dive buddy team. Found out that he made a better dive buddy then a S.O. so now he is my ex. We still dive together, (better now that we don't live together), well that is when his new girlfriend will let him dive. (She is not...

Glad to hear things are going better and you're hanging in there! We all felt uncoordinated when we first started out but with time and practice things will get better. Lakedivers suggestion for weight retainers is a good start. Just remember to try and relax; take your time and have fun...

Welcome from another troll! I just happen to be from the opposite side of the state, on Lake Erie (which in Michigan is the only great lake not divable as it ave. only 12-16 feet deep) Looks like we have the whole state covered from end to end! Have fun in Munising, love the wrecks up there.

Rooster, I really do understand where you are coming from. I live on the shores of Lake Erie in Michigan, where the lake averages 12 feet. Only part of the Great Lakes that are not divable!!!!! I head north to Lake Huron or the Straites of Mackinac. Yes, as divers we definately live in the...

You will now know me as: Dutchess Quiet Evening Dutchess Smart-as-a-whip Marchioness Tiger Lily:sheik:

Just heard on the local news that there was a death at Gilboa on Sunday. Very few details but the news program did say the diver was in a class and made a rapid ascent. Thoughts and prayers to the divers family and friends.

A different kind of Big 5, Caves of Mexico/Florida Wrecks of the Great Lakes Marine life of the Great Barrier Reef Wrecks of Truk, Midway Marine life of Coco Island I'm working my way down the list

UP, we don't mind you guys looking in to see what is going on. These may be about issue on the female side, but most of us like to hear what the males have to say

I have found that things are changing a lot in the world of diving. You still have the hard core male divers who do not want to share the underwater world with women but I have seen less and less of this as the years have gone by. When I first started cold water wreck diving, the sexist...

Great set up with Jeep Grand Cherokee and small trailer. Have the trailer set up for tanks to stand up around sides and center for equipment boxes. Leaves the Jeep for coolers and people. Up side is don't have to get the inside of Jeep wet from equipment. Have had 6 sets of doubles, plus...

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I hope you will not be discouraged by this. There are good instructors here in Michigan, and I hope you will continue to seek an instructor who will work with you. But I do think you have learned the most important lesson of all........Any one can call...
