im new to the area, and am looking for a dive buddy to go diving with. i have all my gear, and i dive with a drysuit.

Word to your essay.

I presume you will be on an AL 80. Can't stay down at 130 very long if on an AL 80. You might enjoy a more leisurely dive if you stay shallower. I'm not sure if it would be worth it for a few minutes. Also, since you are not familiar with the dive site, having gone that deep, narcosis and...

Same here. I always know it's there in case of anything.

So more on my friend- he is in DC proper, or downtown DC. He works shifts and travels regularly on the weekends. I'm pretty sure he is looking for something private that can work around his schedule, and can be done within the next 5 weeks or so (i'm fuzzy on the time line, but this...

I second this.

cranking tables underwater is no fun. that is why i have a dive computer.

A really good buddy is hoping to get certified out there on a private class basis. He is also hoping to get in a few dives after certification. Wondering if anyone on this site knew anything about schools/ instructors out there. Any thoughts/ comments appreciated. :D

drysuit without drysuit certification by playing in the pool. night diving after OW by diving at night with dive buddies and good light. frog kick, modified frog kick, back kick, and helicopter turns- by watching divers and youtube.

Rescue is awesome. But get gear first so you can dive more and get more out of rescue when you do take it.

This is totally true especially diving with divers you don't know, or have never dove with- as they might be a safety hazard.

These are the ones I'm looking at. Thanks!

I've read mixed things about these fins and back kicking. Some say it can't be done, some say it can be generally done, and some say that it can be done but rather hard. Can it be consistantly done? I'm thinking of trying out these fins, and am wondering if it is worth it. I read these fins...

Any of the old school fins work- jetfins, oms, turtles. The jetfins run small; I wear a ladies 7.5, and need a size large fin.

So, I have a deep sea supply knife in a holder on my bc harness. It has rusted as I don't take it out of the holder after every dive after rinsing out my gear. Now it has rusted. I tried soaking it in vinegar, but it doesn't really seem to work, as the rust is still there. What have...

Thanks for this info! This really helps me figure out what to get. I prefer the Inon over the Sea & Sea, but was concerned on what their website had to say.

I'm new to photography. I'm curious which strobes are better for coldwater diving in pac northwest. I'm still debating whether to get new compact camera with Ikelite housing [Canon G9 or 10] or get [Sea & Sea or Ikeliete] housing for my existing Canon Rebel Xt [aka 350D]. I like the compacted...

Has anyone tried them all or 2 of the 3? Which work the best overall and against current? Thanks! :coffee:

Drysuits are particular on sizing. I've been looking for one since August. Have not found something that would fit me. As a lady's small is still large on me. Its a work in progress if I don't want something custom or too spendy. :coffee:

sounds like im screwed with those tanks..... :shakehead:
