    Do we know each other, chubadoodman? Incidentally, I was in Brooklyn last week.

    I used to be able to, but now I can't. What should I do to gain posting privileges again?

    Hi, Skb. I'm hardly ever on SB anymore, which is why I just came across your post. I'm in Syracuse too, have trained with Bob Sherwood, and am active in the GUE community. You may be interested in the skills workshop we're having the first weekend of June. There will be four in-water sessions...

    The Cave Politics, Rumor Monger and Gossip Guild is alive and well. Let's end it!

    That's the newest version, but even the older one had the name of the shop on it, just not in domain name form. If other people are copying it, they shouldn't because it is trademarked.

    gue accepting certs from another organisation, experiences?

    It can take a while to become comfortable in doubles and a drysuit. If I were you, I would take Fundamentals in a single tank and wetsuit, and after that take the GUE drysuit class and the GUE doubles class. Try not to become overly concerned about the kind of pass you get or even passing...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

    So Monday was probably something of an anomaly where there was almost no current for the hour and a half before high tide.

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

    We had an interesting dive yesterday. Went in at 3:49 on the east side of the swim area. We swam out to the snorkel zone and drifted west. The vis was around 5 ft. With almost no finning, we arrived at the first set of bridge pilings in about 30 minutes. On Monday's dive it took us almost 90...

    I'm so glad I'm not in Syracuse right now!

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

    Jenny, that's great to know. I was rushing my family to have everything packed up before sunset! I thought the rules was to be out by then. Now we can be pokey. :) I'm glad the Sudafed has helped.

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

    Tomorrow high tide is at 4:36 and sunset at 5:41. Does that leave enough time for a dive? Do you have to be out of the park right at sunset? Thanks Jenny. Will you be out this week? Did I read somewhere that you have a cold?

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

    Will you be there today, Jim? I haven't seen you in ages! Thanks for the tips, JahJah! I hadn't thought of renting two flags, but it makes more sense than having one that we carry and have the snorkelers follow, which was what I had planned.

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

    Mario and I will be diving at the bridge tomorrow. We'll be wearing doubles (it's what we had to bring, so don't laugh at us too much) and will have two snorkelers with us. Stopping at Force E first to pick up a dive flag because we forgot to bring ours. We've dove the bridge a few times, but...

    Fundamentals 1 & 2?

    I'm flattered that you think I have a tech pass! Thank you! Although I did the class in a drysuit and doubles, I got a rec pass, and given the challenges I faced in class, I was very happy to get it. :) Now after two years of working on my skills, I may try to upgrade this summer. For Elgoog...

    Fundamentals 1 & 2?

    According to the most recent version of the standards there is a recreational rating and a technical rating for Fundamentals Part 1 and Fundamentals Part 2. I don't understand the point of a tech rating for part 1. You will still have to get a tech rating in part 2 to advance to tech or cave.

    The most ridiculously overstaffed Fundies class ever taught . . .

    What great reports from Lynne and team! Thanks for taking the time to not just write up your experience, but, as others have said, to take the time and trouble to go and have the experience! I could relate to much that was said, and I think this thread will be very helpful for those who are...
