I am looking at buying a dive hood and was wondering how tight should a dive hood be whenever you have one on? i have dove with a barrowed one a couple times but it was really loose around the face and allowed air in to the hood from the exhaust from the reg. i was wondering if someone could...

I just dove the Sherman through Coastal Scuba earlier this month and was very pleased with the dive and Coastal Scuba as a whole. I had the opportunity to dive Barracuda Alley but because of time i had to decline the offer. The Sherman is a neat dive if you havent dove in the ocean before on a...

Just did my first set of ocean dives this past week in Myrtle Beach, SC. Dove with Coastal Scuba. They are very nice and made sure you are buddied up with someone before you left the dock. The people in the dive shop and on their dock located off site were very nice and cared about you as a...

What size tank would you recommend for someone who is just getting into diving?

This is a question that I have wondered a lot. Even though I am new to diving I am still diving in areas where I am with a guide or in an area that has a dive shop. But there are some areas that I have looked to dive, but there are no dive shops around. Would it be beneficial to buy tanks when...

Im looking at a budget of about 1500-1750 for the week, including airfare and lodging everything else. As for a destination i have been thinking about southern Florida or the Keys, because I dont want to deal with getting a passport right now for any trips.

I was going to get my AOW this summer but with school and lack of money I am now not able to do so, thats why I thought it would be nice to start of the diving year by going somewhere warm and get my AOW. Yea it will involve studying for it and doing dives but I am out for the fun of it. Im out...

I am wanting to go diving next spring break, and have been trying to figure out where and when should I start looking at dive charters and everything. When is it or is it too soon to start looking at trips and when is it too late to book everything by next spring. On this trip too I am...

I am in college and starting to think that it is not for me and I dont want to keep wasting my money on college. I have been looking at going to a commercial dive school and getting my training.

Morgantown, WV. welcome to scuba board

I agree with renting a wetsuit for your checkout dives. whenever i did mine this past fall i rented mine which allowed me not to worry about the extra gear that i have to keep track of whenever going and leaving the dive spot. But it is a good investment. Wait until you have gotten your...

Im looking at buying my first wrist computer this spring and i am a little confused on which one is the ideal one for an beginner diver like myself. I would like to have one that i can upload to a computer but im kind of on a low budget for it. I have looked at Cressi, Oceanic, Sherwood, Tusa...

Even though i wont be able to get the Archimedes until the summer starts I was wondering if i could get some first hand accounts on how it works and if it is a good starter computer. Also my LDS from back home was saying they sold it for ~$450 but i have found it online for ~$260, I have a...
