Hi folks, Hoping you can help a Canadian out - I am going to be in Copenhagen on business from January 13-17 next year, and I am interested in puttering around a dive shop to see if I can track down some Apeks DS4's or Tek3's. Are there any shops you'd recommend? I'm a GUE guy so a place that...

I am pleased to report that I just passed (rec) Fundies and Doubles today with Alan Johnson. This was a great course and a great weekend of diving. I am ESPECIALLY pleased with myself because I came back to diving with a bit of practice after an 8 month hiatus (divorce) and really pulled myself...

Hye all - so I'm in the middle of Fundies right now with Alan Johnson. I figured I'd write a little interim report since we're resuming on Aug 25 and 26th. This gives me some time to practice in between - something I could sorely use and will be taking advantage of. Day 1 - We did all the...

Hi folks - I've been reading up a ton, reading Fundies reports, talking and diving some with Fundies divers and I am going to dive in (har har) and go for it. I already know the GUE way appeals to me, and I just wanted to share here how excited I am to be going for it! So far the plan is...

Tracked down a decent deal on a used (but in perfect shape) Halcyon Helios 4.5. Battery pack gets 240 min burn time and it has the focusable head. I love this thing - just tried it out on a dive yesterday and I could not believe how well it punches through the poor vis this time of year. We only...

I have family in Madison, MS and will likely be down visiting in the summer as I usually do a few times a year. I'm curious if there's any two-tank dives I could hit easily in the course of a day (even if it is a long day with some driving). I'm used to chilly saltwater up here in Vancouver BC...

... here in Vancouver BC! I've been doing a lot of reading of standards documents, reading god-knows-how-many threads on here, and using my own brainpowers to consider how I feel about DIR practices and it sits very well with how I like to approach things. I should say that I tend to (try) to...

Buddy and I had a nice dive today! The viz was decent but nothing special - 5 or 6 m at most. Water temps were good, 7 degrees or so. This was my first dive using Marigolds with the SI Tech classic rings and WOW! I will never dive wet gloves ever again. It's just too luxurious having dry...

Hi All, I just got my AOW cert last weekend, and I have been diving about a year. I feel good in the water, confident, but absolutely humble and ready to learn and improve more. While I have a PADI OW and AOW, all my instructors have been very diligent about incorporating much of their other...

Sorry - a bit of a vague, open-ended question. I'm relocating from Vancouver BC, to the triangle probably around fall of 2012. I'm a new (but avid) diver here... but what should I expect from the NC dive scene? I mean aside from not having to dive a drysuit if I don't want to ;) I hear the...

Hey all, Mid June a friend (he's Revid Abucs here) and I are going to dive the Granthall. As I have never been before - anything particularly interesting to be aware of? Is that ferrocement sailboat hull worth seeing at all? Thanks!
