Next year a few of us from my local dive club are planning a trip to Lake Huron to do some diving. Most of what we are looking at doing are between 60-130 feet in and around the Thunder Bay area. We currently dive the lakes here in Arkansas were vis is at best 20' and that is normally around 80...

Are these still available?

I am working on a couple year plan for diving and I keep coming back to this crossroad of whether or not to go down the professional side and become and instructor. I like learning new skills, techniques, etc. that go along with diving and like helping out divers/people in general where I can...

I am looking into purchasing a drysuit this next year and I am wanting to test out different ones to see which one fits the best. I know DUI use to do demo days but they have since quit. Is there a website that has demo days listed on it or is this something that I would have to contact each...

This past weekend I got in my first dives in 5 years. I have been out of the water so long because of school and work and I am now finally in a position that I can get back into diving and man has it been great. Over the last month I have been in the pool refining my skills again and taking a...

Thanks for the input. The wrist mount is what I am looking for that was posted earlier. I do like the idea to mount it somehow on the other side of my SPG so they are both there together. I am starting to look into redundancy for diving so I can get comfortable with them over time and not...

I currently have a wrist mount dive computer that I use as a depth gauge. I have been thinking lately to get an analog depth gauge as a backup so if something goes wrong I have it to fall back on. All the ones that I have found so far are on a pressure gauge. I want one that I can clip off or...

The reason why many people assume what the posters are thinking is that the OP does not tell the whole side of what they are thinking. When that happens you end up with people assuming different things about the OP. I know whenever I first got into diving I wanted to go the deep wrecks that...

Went today to dive Lake Ouachita and when we got there the gate leading up to the dam site was closed. Sign said the gate would close at 5 and we were there well before then. First time that I have been on a "dry" dive. Oh well, looks like I'll have to wait a little bit longer before I get wet...

I am looking for a first stage that I can just attach a low pressure hose to. I do a lot of Off-Road trail riding and air down my tires and I have seen other people use their tanks to air up after a ride. I want my own setup for when I am out alone with out other people who I can use their air...

I've been reading on here lately that many people have seem to be having issues with CO in their tanks after a full and diving on them. I was wondering, has this become a more recent problem or has it always been there and not brought out before. I know some places are just looking for your...

Took my gear out of my pack last week and saw that one of my fins is bent a little bit. Got into the pool with them and did not notice any change in kicking with them. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can straighten the fin back out again.

I have been thinking about getting a dive helmet and mounting lights on it but not too sure about it. The helmet will just be used in open water conditions with low vis. I was wondering how many other people have created this setup and how practical it is for open water diving. Have also been...

I had some similar issues with buoyancy whenever I was in training. After I learned to relax and control my breathing better, my buoyancy control underwater became a lot better. Also are you in the same gear that you were in while doing your pool training? That can have an issue with your...

Reading that you are taught to take another divers primary reg is complete asinine! I did my OW class with a power inflate octo and did not care for it at all. Whenever I bought my gear I went with a normal secondary reg as my octo. I like it a lot better than how my octo set up was in OW. Go...

It was a thought and I was wondering of any encounters and how people have dealt with them whenever or if ever have encountered them. Def good advice for people who have experience from other people.

I am moving to Arkansas in July. So I would be diving in and around that area. Im comfortable with my wetsuit in warm water but it burns me up too much during surface intervals. Been thinking if it would be beneficial to get a drysuit instead of a lighter wetsuit ~3mm.

I have been thinking about investing into a dry suit in the next year or so, but not sure if I should or not. I currently dive with a 7/5 with 3mm hood and gloves and I am quite comfortable in the water with them on in water to 55-60. I am moving down south and need a lighter wetsuit so I dont...

I know a lot of people are concerned about diving with sharks in the ocean and everything else that lurks out there as well. I was wondering if anyone has ever encountered an alligator on a dive? If you did what did you do and what would you advise to people who would possibly encounter one...

I am selling a Genesis Phantom BCD. It is a jacket inflate, 15-20 dives on it (fresh, salt). Selling it because I bought another BCD. PM if you are interested. $200 or obo
