If you're ever diving warm enough for just a skin, you might want to check out Dive Goddess. They've got some pretty wild designs.

My mask has prescription lenses and it works well for me. My prescription has changed a little, but I don't really notice the difference when I'm under water. I asked my optometrist about this since he is a diver and he gave me a couple of things to think about:
-The content of the water...
My sentiments exactly! I feel like a sitting duck on the surface.
BTW did anyone look at the other video links on the page? There was a group of videos by a guy whose ID was scubanut. I was absolutely apalled at these as he manhandled several creatures including hitching a ride with a...
Didn't learn this one on SB.
Those pool dives during certification were hard on my swimsuit. It was a pale version of its former self when I was done. I recently read that instead of buying the expensive chlorine remover for swimsuits, buy a small bottle of the stuff used to remove chlorine...
Ever since I was a little tyke, I've been fascinated with the underwater world and being underwater in general. I didn't realize that scuba diving was within my grasp since I was raised in a small town with small world-views. Fortunately, I met my husband who paid for my certification while we...
Hello All!
My husband and I are driving from Arizona to Colorado, seeing the sights for about a week, then heading home. I would like to dive Seabase in Utah on the way back but I'm not sure what would be best given the altitude at Seabase and on the highway in northern Arizona. Seabase is...
Two mental:
Seeing about five minutes of Jaws as a young child. Years of creepy nightmares resulted in which I would be underwater in the ocean with nothing but blue all around and not sure which way was up. Then from a distance I would see a Great White coming for me. It hasn't stopped me...
That issue with sunscreen had never occurred to me either, but I prefer wearing a dive skin anyway. It's faster to put on a dive skin than putting on sunscreen. Another advantage is that a dive skin makes it easier to put your wetsuit on. Not only that, but sunscreen won't protect you from...
Has anyone been diving in Lake Pleasant? Is there anything to see? How is the vis? I've got some friends who want to dive it just to log some dives. I would like to know what to expect. Thanks! :smile:
Karen,
I may not be aware of all the diving options in SoCal. I think there are trade-offs on both. The Sea of Cortez is warmer and the life is more colorful, but you are also in another country, which can add complications. I did find a charter service in San Carlos that I would like to...
Thanks for the welcome!
I now have a used 3 mil and a new 7 mil that both fit nicely (a dive skin underneath doesn't hurt either). I've never heard of a "semi-dry" suit. What is it and how does it work?
P.S. - I never thought about the fact that my handle doesn't make it clear whether I...
