    How Close are you to your buddy?

    Same here. I stay within about 10 feet down to about 40 feet then close the gap to no more than 5 feet as I go deeper. Particularly with dive buddies I am not familiar with.

    Hoseless Air integrated computers

    As with the others, I dive an OC1 A/I, but keep my old Mares Puck on my BCD and an SPG on the boat should there be a problem. I may have a dive cut short, but will not lose a whole trip.

    Funniest Diving quotes you have heard

    When packing up dive gear at the end of the dive day I witnessed a diver holding her very wet Gear bag and computer and a very puzzled look on her face. When asked if something was wrong... "I don't know where to put my computer. If I put it in my bag it will get wet." Sometimes it is just...

    Tell me about dive computers

    To try and answer your questions simply, yes there are watch computers out there from several manufacturers. I have dove with a Mares Puck and the Oceanic OC which are both great computers at different ends of the cost and functional spectrums. There importance is something only you can answer...

    Ft. Sill, OK - anyone there?

    That's too bad. Did 3 years at Campbell, Nashville is great. Spent 2 months at Sill a couple years ago doing some pre mob training. Not a great place to be a pilot. Good luck, and make the best of it.

    Hi all--from New Orleans!

    I have friends that spearfish in the Gulf. Not for me me. I go to Pensacola or Destin. It can be a drive, but it is the closest decent diving I have found.

    Mares Puck computer- accuracy ?

    I concur. Had about 60 dives on it before I upgraded to A/I but always consistent and matched the depths, temps, and times of my dive buddies. As previously mentioned ensure you are set for the proper water salt/fresh so the density is correct.

    Ambergis or Caye Caulker?

    I prefer AC myself because there are more options for dining and entertainment. My mother, who is 62, also likes AC for the same reason. Plus there were some day trip options available when she couldn't dive.

    I am young and love diving!

    I always suspected I was old at 35. Now you guys have confirmed it. Guess it is time to start looking for nursing homes.

    Best Dive Sites in Utila?

    Blackish point, raggedy caye, and labyrinth were all very nice, but there was never a bad dive. Great reefs with lots of life.

    NAUI Rescue Diver Course

    It has been awhile, but the rescue diver questions were very straightforward questions from material right out of the book. Know the material and you should be OK. As for the master diver it is a lot of diving physics such as computing how many PS I of air at a given depth would it take to lift...

    Why did you become a Dive Master?

    I have always been around the water growing up on lake Erie, but never thought too much about going under. My choice in vocation has sent me through Central America several times when the underwater world was shared with me and I was hooked. As a DM of only 4 months now I got a chance to be that...

    OC 1 vs Atom 3

    Sadly, my computer is a few years old and the graphics card is not supported. I have been through the training sessions and I really liked them, and would recommend them to anyone.

    OC 1 vs Atom 3

    Got number 183. Still haven't had a chance to dive it though. That dang job keeps getting in the way.

    NAUI Asst. Instructor vs. Divemaster

    I agree. Review your S&P manual page 2.76 and 2.81 to see the qualifications of each. An AI can assist an instructor, that is pretty much it. A DM can assist AND lead dives for certified divers and conduct and organize NAUI recognition programs. Much more responsibility as a DM, and why the...

    Snorkeling in Utila

    J.R., did my Divemaster in December with Alton, great operation. There is plenty to see off of the dock there and ample opportunity for snorkeling on the boats with many of the sites being rather shallow. The water is clear with lots of life. You shouldn't have to venture to far for snorkelng...

    wrist band wanted

    I appreciate the offer. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it will fit. I wanted the bungee option too, but there is no good way to tie it.
