She was an open water student. I wasn't there but one of the members of the rescue team told me about the incident. It's a very tragic incident and my thoughts and prayers are with her family and everyone that was affected by this horrible accident.

So I just got done with my first day of diving in Florida off of Marathon and I after coming off the boat I noticed that the back of my throat was sore and the Uvula was very swollen. When I called DAN to ask about it they said it was probably from the dry compressed air and to just drink lots...

Heading back out there on sunday to do my advanced I will let you know the conditions

WOW thank you for all of this information and I will check out your dive journal as well.

Any specific tips that you have on preparing for it?

I'm going to do the Peak Performance Buoyancy soon along with doing the Advance Open Water Certification. I will probably do the Nitrox Certification at the same time as the AOW. I'm still working on learning how to properly weight myself but I only have 4 dives under my belt all which were OW...

Don't worry I'm going to keep diving and I'm saving up to buy my full set of equipment so that I can try and dive at least 2 weekends a month if not more and even if that means freezing my A** off in the quarry near my house.

@krawlings Okay thank you for the help on this. So I shouldn't really be worried about learning finning techniques?

Thank you for the information

So this weekend I have my Open Water portion of the Open Water Certification and I'm excited but trying to get some of my small problems figured out before it. I had trouble equalizing so I am trying to find better methods then the ones that I was taught in class. Also another problem I had was...

Thank you and good luck on your training the pool session is really easy in my opinion. If you just stay calm and don't stress over it then you will do fine.

I will be sure to do that. I now have a reason to work even harder at work so I can buy my gear faster :)

Yep that was easy as can be I just need to work on equalizing better and hovering.

Yes it is the best and I am pumped for Florida hoping to be able to get my advanced at least before I go. I also have to pick my equipment out still I leaning towards a Atomic Z2X for my reg

I just passed the pool portion of the PADI Open Water Diver Certification and I am in love with diving already and I haven't even seen anything but a boring pool. I am already planning on getting my Advanced Diver Certification and Nitrox Certification. I can understand why people love this so...

I will agree it does look like a lot of fun I just have to find the time to do it.

Thank you for the warm welcome unfortunately I am enrolled in college online to be able to continue traveling for the company I own. I still plan on learning how to dive in the near future but for now I am just learning as much as I can about the entire industry and the sport of diving.
