    Vortex Accident - T2T

    Ok, this part of the quote from the "non diving friend" made me laugh: I assume they are referring to Edd, but saying the person is more experienced than Ben sure doesn't narrow it down much. One thing I don't get- the guy is from TN, but he has been diving Vortex nearly everyday for...

    Madison Blue Social -we are back on!!! April3rd

    Kelly, We plan on being there too. What time is the plan for things to get started in the AM? So happy something like this is finally falling on a week when we'll be in florida, usually all the fun stuff is the weekend before or after our trip. Polly

    Qualifications to participate in this forum

    Thanks to John and all others involved with getting this started. I had all but given up on SB due to all the ignorant postings of the cyberdivers. I think this needs to be closed, without Joe Q Diver able to read what is posted back here. There are enough portions of this board where...

    Great Lakes OP & wreck recommendations

    Thanks! We're good with a days drive (10 hours or so) from Cincy. The Dawnlight is the boat I used my last trip up there, and why I'd love to stick to a liveaboard type boat. Nothing better than a hot meal waiting for you after a cold dive. We know we are kind of pushing the season...

    Great Lakes OP & wreck recommendations

    We have 2 back to back weekends we have to be in Cincy this September, and therefore thought what better way to spend the week in between than heading up to the Great Lakes. We'd be looking to do wrecks in the 100-150 foot range. Prefer wrecks with a bit of history to them. As far as...

    Jameson Karst Edwards

    Sure do, I flew down the day he was born, Bob and I saw him in the hospital the next day- I think actually either Bob or I took that picture. A couple of very scared/worried faces in that waiting room. He has come so far, as Marci said you would never know the rough start he had to look at...

    Worst dive trip ever!!

    First of all one of the reason so many of us like 6 packs is our ability to book the whole boat and avoid having a dive trip ruined by some @$$ that has no business on the dive like the OP. For those of you guys asking about tying your reel to the anchor: It is very dangerous to tie your...

    PacketSniffer - Richard Mork Passes

    I think of Richard almost daily. His e-mail address is very similar to one that I mail to often, and so his name is always popping up. I almost deleted his name from my e-mail right after his death, but now am glad I didn't- it is a great reminder of such a great person, and just how dangerous...

    I'm not in my own vehicle when I am there. It is a state owned vehicle.

    Ask A Cop!!! Post Your Questions Here!

    Wow! Talk about reviving an old thread! But I actually have a cop question again so I'll play along. I travel for my job throughout the state (NC) mostly to low socioeconomic areas,and some very rural/ isolated areas. I spend 2-3 nights a week in hotels in these areas. I have a concealed...

    Fatality at Vortex Spring in Florida - May 9, 2009

    We've added a garden sprayer to our standard gear for our land based dive trips. You can get one for about 10 bucks at any home and garden shop. It is really nice when gearing up, we spray our drysuits down after zipping them up, and also spray our heads. It is also nice for rinsing sand or...

    Which certification?

    I would compare the dive tables to multiplication tables more than to a slide rule. Not learning how to use the tables is like removing multiplication tables from the school curriculum because you assume your students will always have a calculator. More than having a computer "crap" out on...

    Potential dive at Gilboa?

    The only way we are doing is is as a weekday. I wouldn't come anywhere near that place on a weekend.

    Potential dive at Gilboa?

    Bob and I will be in Ohio June 27-July 5th. We are thinking about making a trip to Gilboa for a day of weekday diving some day June 29-July 3. Bob's never been to Gilboa so I'll be giving him the full tour but we'll probably be spending most of our time on the deep side. Couple long...
