Bob, Link isn't working...but I would be more than happy to help test

They had it as an option when I took it in 98, but not sure anymore.

North East Scuba Supply

I would reccommend the florida keys dive center in islandmorada

Just be glad he wasn't diving nude and taking blue pills.... :popcorn::rofl3:

Computer download is nice as it will tell you some additional features, bells and whistles. The other advantage that I like about the computer download is the ability to view your tissue loading (which is just neat to see). As for the entry level tech stuff, both Suunto and Dive Rite carry...

Steel 100s are a great choice. Personally I use HP steel 120s (and I am roughly the same build and diving in northern jersey) with a 30CFU Pony. Why so big? Well, eventually when I get to the point for deco diving, I can double my 120s for a really long dive and use the 30 pony as a deco...

It is a snorkle...and it doesn't work under water other than to slow you down...no biggie you just became more streamline

I dive up here in the NE Atlantic and our wrecks have lots of lose fishing line as well as the ocassional CF of divers and wreck reels going every which way. I carry two primary knives (3-5 in Titanium) with one on each leg, a small knife on my inflavor hose, and trama shears in a pouch on my...

My personal experiance with a past shop was to get "chewed out and lectured" on the difference between on-line vs. instore purchase. All in all, I wasn't too happy with that experiance and you have to look out for yourself at the end of the day....both in the pocketbook and how you are...

What type of diving are you planning on doing? More importantly what type of diving are you looking at in the next couple years. Personally I stick with suunto and dive rite as a trusted brand.

I rarely adjust my weighting; sometimes you hand off the pony and other time (and usually the case) you keep it on your person. In any case, when I run a back mount pony, I am lopsided and I add a counter weight to the other side. All in all you are a few pounds over weight, but it is the...

The biggest reason why the BSA hasn't done a SCUBA MB yet is becuase of the lilability. Yes, I know we do things like aviation merit badge and such, but the SCUBA industry just hasn't found its way in yet. Members at Sea Base have been petitioning for the last couple years to get one, but...

I am an Eagle Scout and worked at Seabase...that is how I got hooked in Diving!!

You could put on the wet suit in the winter, jump into a pool or lake that you can stand it, and then jump out....you should get a pretty quick idea of how it would feel. If you need help finding a dive shop with a good deal on dry suits, just ask around your local dive clubs...I am sure you...

Much like a few have said here, going from knowing nothing to everything in a matter of a few months can be a dangerous thing. I have worked with many instructors and DM's who got their certifications in a matter of less than a year. Needless to say, it is the students and customers that they...

You should definetly contact the agency that this guy was a DM with and report it. It also wouldn't hurt to let others know via sites like this about your unfortunate experiance.

It makes the boat charters a bit more expensive, but the hardest part is that there isn't as many new people joining the SCUBA club...

You can never go wrong with a redundancy system that doesn't rely on electricity...

Floaty Feet - reduce air space and use ankle weights. The other advantage to using ankle weights is that they can help as a counterbalance should you get inverted and need to flip over. As for the total weight issue, I know of some people who carry no weight to 34 lbs on their weight belt...
