    How to keep water out of your nose?

    I can only say what worked for me. I had the same problem and my solution was to inhale through my mouth and exhale slowly through my nose. For me exhaling through the reg allowed water to come in my nose.

    possible DCS hit?

    Thanks to all who responded. I feel better, both physically and mentally (in regards to dcs) I was not looking forward to a 4 week dry dock.

    possible DCS hit?

    19 minutes of bottom time according to suunto gekko. I cannot beleive it was that long but maybe saftey stop=no hydrated=yes pre-exiting medical=none known yet in reviewing computer it does show ascent rate to fast on last dive. shows the slow sign in memory/logbook, apparently that means I...

    possible DCS hit?

    The first dive was 35' for about 40 minutes, regular air. I had about 45 min SI then dove to 40' at new spot, but the current picked up and it was quite a hard swim, I came up behind the boat about 200 yards or so and tried to swim against the current until tiring out and signaling for pick up...

    Off-Shore Spring, South of Hudson

    Sounds like you were at heart spring, so named for it's shape. There are other holes along the coast as well as some inland. They can be very dangerous. Jewfish hole is less than spectacular, unless you like deep dark scary places. I only made it down about 20 feet when I turned chicken and...

    Glove promo is over/post reviews here

    It all depends on what you do underwater. If you are the type of diver who keeps hands and fingers interlaced, then you probably do not "need" them. However, if like me you spearfish or treasure dive, or generally end up with a big swim either in the beginiing of your dive or the end, you will...

    Clearing mask / breathing out nose problem

    That is the only way I can do a mask off breath, if I exhale through the reg without the mask on I will get water up my nose. I had this problem in class and needed extra time alone to practice and understand what I believe is going on. I could be wrong but for me during normal mouth breathing...

    Missing Diver - Grand Cayman Sept 21, 2009

    I have the ACR and it fits in the OMS canister rated to 600', clips under my right arm pit and do not even know its there. Granted this is not going to help with an underwater emergency, but for worrying about missing the boat, this is what I do. Would share some photos if you pm me with an address.

    Taking a non certified salty as a buddy

    Is this a one time dive or possibly a new dive buddy? A one timer I would only dive with him if he could provide his own air, I am not going to help someone circumvent a safety "rule". If this person is going to dive with me frequently then I might offer to help with the cost to get certified...

    Let's Re-Brand "Snorkeling"

    I think the word "snorkel" is a fun word used to describe a fun experience and at the same time descibes itself, at least to those that know what it means and at the very least is easily described. nothing is good or bad, thinking makes it so.

    Glove promo is over/post reviews here

    I used my gloves for the monster swim back to the boat. When the current gets moving you can get behind the boat real fast, most times I end up 100 yds or so and have to fight the current all the way back. I have tried the get a compass bearing and go to the bottom where the current is supposed...
