ScubaBill: I got certified in Belize last year with Belize Diving Service on Caye Caulker. I recommend them, but I don't know if they do cruise ships.

I am an inexperienced diver. All my dive to date have been in salt water. I am planning a lake dive. How much less weight do I need in fresh water? Is there a formula or rule of thumb? Thanks! Dave

My son got certified today. It wasn't easy. We all worked hard for it. I was worried that he would have trouble with the study portion - he did, but worked through it. The first Open Water dive it was 32 deg out and snowing. His wetsuit was wet from the pool dive the night before. As his...

brutus: I'm diving a 7mm and have been in 46 degree F here with no problem. Drysuits are nice, but wetsuits can work just fine also. Enjoy! Dave

Hello all: I have a Sherwood Wisdom 2 with download kit. I am a new diver with only 7 dives total and 3 since I got the Wisdom. I am also a gadget geek and software geek. Several have asked if this is all worth it. The answer of course depends. CONS : The software interface is pretty...

Bigfame: I am a recently certified diver. I got my cert in Belize wearing a 3mm shorty, and I needed 24lbs of lead there. Up here with my 7mm I need 40lbs of lead. I also went from al 80s in Belize to steel 100s in Puget Sound - that equates to another 3-4 lbs of lead. I could not...

I am very sorry to hear of the theft of the dry suit. An event like this takes away from the whole community. I'd like to help. I pledge $100 USD to help replace it. I'll also match the next $100 pledged. I'll be down this weekend for a fill and to leave a check. Dave

I have 24 fewer dives than you do, and I am looking for a buddy also. From where I am, you are an experienced diver. Drop me a PM if you'd like to hook up with a real newbie. Thanks! Dave

2nd dive with the wetsuit last Friday. Water temp was a balmy 50 degree F. Still no problem, nothing got cold. It wasn't even a sensation. I do expect that winter may be a bit of a challenge during the top side changing. Dave

I have a new (June 08) Wisdom 2 - and I have a grand total of 2 dives on it. So far I love it. It clearly records the unsteady depth, the ascent speed violations, and massive air consumption for all to see. Dave

Tom and Gabe from A2Z took me on a dive at Redondo today. I struggled getting down still, but once down it was great! Gabe provided some great mentoring. Thanks Tom and Gabe! Dave

Sorry, I am new to posting as well as diving. I am in the Seattle area. I am available most weekends, most evenings, and some weekdays.

BigFame: Like you, I am a big guy. I bought a wetsuit off e-bay...it would fit fine if I could get it on, but I can't. I ended up buying another one locally, where I could try it on. Find people and a shop you can trust, and spend time with them. I bought all my gear at A2Z, and I drove...

Hello! I am a newly certified diver and I seek experienced dive buddies to help me safely gain experience and confidence. I got my certification in Belize and I am not yet comfortable with cold water diving and my new equipment. Thanks! Dave
