    Submerged Forest

    I have heard about a submerged forest in Jenny Lake, Wyoming within the Grand Teton National Park. Has anyone dove this, or have any information they would be willing to share? I am thinking it would be a fun venture in the near future before the snow flies.... :confused:

    Seabase vs. Homestead Crater.

    I actually enjoy sea base, usually visit there couple times a year either to reach a class or just get wet in the spring before local diving takes off. IMO homestead is too hot unless it's January or February.... nothing too see there, were sea base has their sharks and other fish, granted its...

    Article: Dive dry with dr. Bill # 576: Got milk? Why no!

    Entanglement Drill

    What we do is black out a mask, wrap twine all around them. Pat them on the head to signal go. When they cut themselves free they follow a line around the pool with several obstacles. A 50 gallon barrel to go through, then throw a fish net over them. In the process they will lose a fin and quite...

    Best Dry Glove Ring System

    Insomnia, I clicked on that link and looked at that system, It looks very similar to the SI tech version. Is there a difference other than name and purchase units are in Euros? I had never heard of them before

    Diving solo?

    Lord help us all....AOW seems to be handed out by the lottery system .... 24 min dives and 4 specialty classes is how I go by. Good luck with solo cave and ice diving as you see fit...... safety has been compromised C

    Diving solo?

    How do you get AOW with only 20 dives? SSI requires minimum of 24 I believe PADI DOES AS well... dive your experience not your card level. I would challenge your instructor for building false confidence....

    recommendation on new PS dive gear

    I agree with TC, We are all volunteer so we see a little of everything, but BP/W set up is as durable and fool proof as it gets. There are a few of us that have gone that direction.

    Best Dry Glove Ring System

    I have never seen the viking system, but have used si tech twist lock system for almost 3 years and they will work flawlessly if you keep sand out and lube the joints regularly. I use atlas gloves with them $3 at any farm store or $15 for the fleece lined ones. Scissors are required to trim the...

    Wreck at Bear Lake UT?

    Tjack, your closest air fill is to give us a heads up when your coming so we can meet you for a dive and bring our compressor. that's easiest, sometimes if you pack the correct SCBA to SCUBA adapter you can convince a fire dept to top you off for a fee? But Bear Lake is only 2 hours for us...
