Just don't use those pins on your wing or BC :no: I just retired, and after bing cooped up over the Holidays I mentioned to my wife, why don't we take 2 weeks and drive to Florida, stopping at Savannah, and visit family on the way back north- oh, and stop for 5 days in Key Largo. Her response...

Congratulations! Hopefully I will match your 200 by the end of 2013. Terry

Thanks MaxBottomTime. That was great. Terry

Went with a group to Cape Anne, my buddy with more than 5,000 dives. We wanted to do 2 dives, so the tide was a little low when we started...over the 200 feet of rounded, slick rocks, both of us with full camera outfits. Well, my buddy went down first, on his back. After asking if he needed...

2013 Goals: Finish my Dive Con training Dive at least 100 dives Create opportunities to dive with my daughter (maine Biology student in college). First up- Cayman Brac in March, then Bonaire in July.

You must not have as many lawyers per square mile as we do :shocked2:

I'm geting this visual image of when the officer pulls you over......but officer, this is my underware...step out of the car, ma'am.....but I'm cold... or some version of this.

One thought- one of the reasons I didn't fit my original rental drysuits (tried 4 brands) is I have a rather strangely proportioned body- 5'-11", 39" shoulders, and a 28 inch inseam. About the only thing that would fit me in a laminate or crushed neoprene would be custom. Just a little too...

I won't repeat the good advice above. I started diving dry at about 50 dives- and boy, did I feel like an idiot. The person who was working with me mentioned it could easily take 25 dives to become throughly comfortable. As you have found, it is completely different that diving wet. I...

I think my takeaway is don't ride a motorcycle :D. Plate in my hand (from football, not cycling), and never even thought twice about it. Terry

I also see Groupon to offer an opportunity to try something you might not have thought of. My family bought me a Groupon Discover Flying for half price. I would have never really thought of trying it. The instructor was excellent, definitely did not fell "discount," and now I am considering...

I have to assume it is a joke- but then again, we keep reading about idiots. I think the term is "he does not know what he does not know." He must be related to the guy trying to dive Devils Ear/Eye who was trying to kill himself. Better go get some popcorn.......

Glad I booked with Conch Republic for 8 dives in February. And of the 4 or 5 dive boats with T-ladders (which I love) that I have dove, the DMs have released the fins on deck and handed them to us. On one, after that you remove your mask and they then give you a hosing off with warm water if...

In our part of the world, when in a quarry, the surface air can be 95F, but it is around 40F at depth. That's a lot of change for the body. But practicing can get you over it. After practiced enough times, you can be prepared for the "slap in the face." I'll often let a little water leak in...

Just too funny! +1

Did a day of oyster diving middle of last month. Viz was about 4-8 feet, temp 46-49 degrees (became chillier after the tide started going out and pulled the colder water in from the rivers. I imagine the temps have dropped further. I was about 45 minutes south of the south tip of Kent Island...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm more of a reef person, but enjoy the occasional wreck. Half and half for six dives would be fine, since most of my recent diving this Fall has been reef or shore dive (or Quarry). I've been on a few of the open ocean wreck dives off Maryland. Low viz...

Pool dives- no Dive to set a tank, tie a buoy onto a platform, etc.- no Often my computer will separate a dive in two if we pop up to get bearings, etc.- combined into one dive. Have quite a few shore dives of 15-25' and 90+ minutes- yes. Stress and Rescue- 15 up and down scenarios from a...

I am planning on a three day dive visit with Conch Republic in the Keys in February. Since I am the first to sign up, they are asking me about sites. Any recommendations? I have dove the east coast, but never the Keys- only passed through on a trip in my younger years to Key West that I...

There are not many sharks. The interesting thing, sharks are curious about us. I have dove with lots of sharks, and never felt threatened- but I have always kept a respectful attitude towards them. Landlubbers retreat to JAWS and other such films, but for OW you will not be put in any danger...
