Anyone dive this place lately? I know some people who used to dive it "back in the day" but have not heard of anyone going there recently.

​Troop 188 has two new Open Water Divers as of this last weekend. We also had two siblings get their OW Cert as well. All did very well and are super stoked about diving and can't wait for our September outing to a local quarry. :D

Hey, I have an acquaintance who would like to learn to dive. He is in good condition with no known health issues except he has a stint in one of the arteries to his heart. He had the stint implanted when he was very young to correct a birth defect. He is now in his mid teens, is active...

Does the SDI online Nitrox course cover the use of tables and formulas for Nitrox diving or is it strictly computers? I want to dive Nitrox but do not own a dive computer nor do I see myself buying one in the near future. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Unfortunately I will miss the Our World Under Water Show this year. I thought I would try the Ghost Ships Festival in Milwaukee but don't know much about it. The WEB site seems pretty vague. Anyone go to this? Is it any good?

Hey all. I just received a used reg set from a guy who is out of diving and is getting rid of his old equipment. The set consists of an Aqua-lung Con Shelf 20 1st stage #4819333, an Aqualung Con Shelf 2nd stage #3822108, and a Dacor Pacer Aero octo 3c170320. Are these regs any good? I dive Lake...

I have been on a few charters over the past couple of years where we were doing recreational "deep" dives to 70-80 ffw. I have noticed that the dive charter operator did not deploy a surface support station and did not seem concerned that we did not either. Since none of the other divers on the...

Hey everyone. I have a group who wants to dive at Haigh Quarry Sunday June 26. We need to have a Dive Master with us. Is anyone interested? Please contact me by PM and I will fill you in on the details. Thanks. :D KJackson60

Anyone dive in this Lake? Are there any places that are interesting or note worthy? Just looking for some place different to dive.:popcorn:

I would like to wish everyone on this Board a Happy and Safe Thanks Giving. :drooling:

I would like to start a thread like the one in Basic Scuba questions where people post where they went diving today. I would like to limit it to Scout Groups. I think it would be interesting to see how many Troops and Crews are active in this sport. Please post type of unit, unit number and...

So, I just turned 50 in May. Please, no bad jokes as I am not real happy about the event.:depressed: My questions are these. Assuming a person is in reasonable health, no heart conditions, blood pressure normal with out meds, borderline Body Mass index, physically active due to job but not...

Finally got wet this year on Fathers Day. Went out with our Venture Crew/Boy Scout Troop to a local dive quarry and had a great time! Viz was great, water temps were good. OK, 45 deg. f. at 50' was a little nippy but the water clarity more than made up for it. The Blue Gills are spawning right...

I was wondering what was taught in the SDI Wreck Diver specialty. My LDS is running a promotion this month and I was wondering what I should expect from the course. Please be as specific as possible. I have read the generic description on SDI's web site and would like a more in depth...

Anyone dive in Lake Shelbyville, Il.? How are the conditions? Anything interesting? Closest Dive Shop?

It has been reported on this web site that the BSA is going to lower the age that Boy Scouts can participate in SCUBA Diving as part of Troop programing. The current age is 14 and will be lowered to 12 or 11 depending on when a youth joins a Troop. The reason for this is to bring the age...

I am taking a group of scouts SCUBA diving later this month. In order to properly fill out the paper work required for a tour permit I need to know if the Certification Agency (SDI) associated with the charter I am using is a member of the RSTC. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, How many of you have SCUBA Diving as a regular part of your Troop or Crew yearly outing program? If you do; 1) What problems do you run in to on a regular basis? How do you resolve them? 2) What changes to the Guidelines to Safe Scouting regarding SCUBA Diving would you...

Hello everyone, I was wondering what wreck sites you would recommend for beginner divers. The group I am with has an experience range of 6 dives to 26 dives with most in the 12-15 dive range. All are OW certified. We are not looking for anything taxing and we are not planning any...

Hey everyone. I was at my LDS the other day and noticed a sign promoting their latest special which was a Nitrox Course through SDI. I have been thinking about getting Nitrox Certified so I thought this was a perfect opportunity.:D When I asked about the class I found out it was only taught...
