Not that you can get a wetsuit, BC, cylinder, regs, computers, knife, or compass for a baby anywhere (the mask and fins are available), but thought I'd post the Halloween costume I made for my son last year....

Hi Nuts, I too have dove the shark dive at the Denver Aquarium and I can only echo what you say here - it's a GREAT dive. A lot of fun - especially if you happen to do one of the dives where you get to play with the "guests" of the aquarium (Rock-paper-scissors is a favorite though the...

I figured it was a long shot. While I don't have any problem with cold water (I dive a drysuit with Thinsulate Class III Extreme underwear used to diving in the 30s)...would like better vis since I'd likely be filming. Looks like I'll shoot for making a few trips next summer... Thanks a...

Hi Gang, I live in Denver now, but am originally from Frankenmuth and my wife is from Roseville. We are flying in to introduce our new son to the family at the end of the month, and I am trying to figure out if anyone in the area does any diving on the wrecks in Lake Huron (Sanilac area)...

Hi Don, Great to meet you and Jer...well, that set of dives was my last requirement to make Dive Con, so the paper is in the mail and the card is on its way (if not already here). Yehaa! Sorry I didn't get a chance to dunk with you two - As you noted, I had a multitude of...

Hi Melissa, Yep, that's Chatfield (Kingfisher Ponds) alright. ...love the glass Octopus "Avatar". :) -S

Very Cool - The Shark Bait club is a very fun crowd! I run across them regularly and occassionally go to their meetings and it's always a good time! :) I had the impression it was at Chatfield or Aurora, not BH...I think because some of us are going to BH this weekend, there may have been...

Hi Scubasully, Well, for the most part, it's not particularly imaginative diving, but like any dive you get out of it what you put into it. If you expect to be miserable, you will. If you enjoy varying conditions and keeping your head and adapting to what they are when you discover them...

....for new readers of this thread..... ....you didn't see this, click "next"..... :) -S

Oooo, that sounds good...I agree, they need a new place there to "shake it up", although I like the "good old nostalgia" of some of the other Route 66 joints as well. :) -S

Hi Ron, Funny you should mention them changing the rules...believe it or not, they *did* change them. With a week's advance notice (and a fee) you can night dive Aurora. Cool, huh? They have some other weird ones...if you're diving from a boat, the boat is *required* to fly both the...

Hi DandyDon! It turns out that a WHOLE bunch of people from our shop will be going to Blue Hole this weekend to do some open water certifications, and some advanced certs. I am going to be doing Dive Conning for most of it, but am always looking for an opportunity to jump in the water, so...

Hey Browntrout - forget your keys to the motorcycle? :) I wanted to ask what the tunes were you put to the video - pretty cool. Looks like you had a good time - we all have a "special dive trip" that really took us a little (pardon the pun) deeper with SCUBA (ok, *don't* pardon the pun...

Hi Gang, WOW, what a treasure trove of information you've all provided! Thank you - It gives me a new interest to pursue underwater...although I'd most likely lean toward "seeing/photographing" rather than taking...it just seems cooler to be able to see these things only as a diver and show...

Howdy, The closest thing I've seen to what you're describing is on a dry suit my dive buddy has. The suit has relatively normal dry suit boots, but there's an "over-shoe" that laces up over it and provides a solid sole, lace-up for tightening, and probably more versatility than usual. In...

Hi Gang, I'm relatively new to diving (although fanatic). Other than the obvious (looking for fossils) what does the term "Fossil Diving" apply to? Also, I am curious what the laws are around harvesting fossils, etc. I go by the general rule "Take only Pictures, Leave only Bubbles"...but...

Hi Gang, I own several different pairs of fins for different purposes, and had a chance to try out the Scuba Pro Seawing Nova a couple of weeks ago (demo from the Scuba Pro rep). The size I tried was one size too small, but even though, I was able to tolerate several hours with the fin to...

I gotta go with Jupiter31 on this one - whenever we encounter these magnificient critters, it's a privilege. With the imminent desimation of the species for nothing more than tasteless soup for downright superstitious reasons, it's definitely a lucky event to see one in the open water. What...

Hi Gang, We did an Open Water certification course this weekend, and a bunch of us were assisting (including my buddy Mpscubatoytech). I have personally never witnessed visiability like this...it had to be 30 to 35 feet in Chatfield...CHATFIELD! Holy Carp! We could clearly see our...

Rollerboi, Thanks so much for the feedback. It's nice to hear such a real account of how it is first hand. On the deeper pool, what would be your gess on the vis in there (I know you didn't have a light :))...? If I'm swinging by that way I could take my gear, but from what you say it's...
