    how much weight do i need?

    That calculator for me was about 5 pounds heavy, it seems to be the theme. That said it never hurts to have extra weights, 1, 2, and 3 pound increments are nice. Hard weights are usually a lot cheaper than soft weights, are you stuck on the soft weights for some reason? You can use the hard...

    Trapped diver dies after rescue - Grand Rapids Michigan

    I know not everyone has access to the ocean and people dive where they can but after looking at the video and other pictures off the net I wonder why they were diving in that spot.

    That sucks. I didn't know him personally but I watched all of his video / podcast and thoroughly enjoyed them. Saw the news feed on facebook. Pisser... Scuba diver dies; stuck in the water | WOOD TV8

    First time calling a dive - even before suiting up

    You don't feel it you don't feel it. I've called it at 2000 the night before. Just new I was going to be tired and not wanting to get out of bed at 0600... I want diving to be fun, not a chore...

    Article: Dive dry with dr. Bill #543: The cuddlefish... Er, cuttlefish

    Occasionally I run into these guys while diving in Spain and they are definitely a treat to see. I don't think I ever get bored watching them watch me, changing color, flashing, and scooting about. There is a good documentary available by Nova entitled, "Kings of Camouflage" that is worth...

    Nervous Nellie in the water-- even after a dozen dives

    I had similar concerns so you aren't alone. Eventually I practiced enough and got comfortable enough that they went to the very back of my mind. However do you really see Orcas when you go diving or is it the idea that they could show up? I could see where that might make someone a bit...

    First day of cert.

    Congrats! I must say I don't know how you can dive with no hood in 53 degree water. I usually dive 58-60 degree water and I wear two hoods and gloves. Been thinking about going to a drysuit...anyway have fun and good luck with your final dives!

    Cameras

    I have yet to try my gopro for pictures but the video it takes is pretty amazing. I've found that for the most part I don't need to use a red lens either (I've taken video down to around 70 feet) if I shoot video in protune/RAW mode. The gopro cineform studio does a nice job of letting me...

    Ever have a LOL dive?

    Ever see a five foot five inch man that weighs three hundred pounds in a half zipped wetsuit with an eighteen liter scuba tank to his back have his weight belt fall around his ankles then watch three people struggle to get it back on him? That was a LOL moment, I only wish I had my video camera...

    Backplate wing setup for entry/transition

    I wouldn't argue with ya and to boot I've had good experiences with DivegearExpress. It is another $100 though for the SS option and the pockets if that is what you are looking for. I know some people don't like the weight pockets and just use weight belts but I like to distribute it...

    Backplate wing setup for entry/transition

    Plus one. I got a Halcyon SS plate, harness, small knife and ditchable weight pockets for $120 that looks brand new off of e-bay. Purchased a 30 lb donut wing from Piranha Dive MFG Extreme 30lb Donut Wing "ACU Camo" $300 and done. Not sure if I could be happier...

    Best fins for those new to diving?

    I recently started using apnea fins. Cressi Gara LD to be specific. They push a lot of water which is useful as there is almost always moderate current where I dive locally although I can only get a pair of 2mm booties on which makes for some cold feet in 55-57 degree water but it is well worth...

    To dry suit or not to dry suit

    If the $150 bucks doesn't break you then I'd take it. It is an additional cost but it is also additional knowledge and it hurts nothing. It might make certification more challenging but that isn't a reason to shy away from it...

    Total Noob knife location question.

    I have an Oceanic BCD and I zip-tied my scissors in the same manner you are describing. It worked fine and could be easily accessed with either hand. I also carry a knife on the inside of my right leg. The knife is not nearly as easily retrieved but it works. The ways to affix things is...
