    Pool session gone awry...

    Just a quick message, not sure if it has been mentioned yet, as I did not have time to read all the pages of replies. Just advice from my experiance. 1) You should have given him your primary and you should have used the octo, as it usually has a shorter hose. 2) Whenever you put any...

    Possible recovery coming into focus

    Hey Gary, Not to be disrespectful, but I am really curious to know, if someone plans to off themselves later that evening, what movie is so interesting that he just had to see it before he took the plunge?? :confused2 (assuming that's the case) Hopefully he will show up at home and...

    Southern WV Dive Club Picnic

    Hate to do this (I'm sooo :censored: bummed) but we're going to have to call the picnic off. It looks like Ivan will be here just in time the completely screw everything up. :zap1: I figured it was best to just call it off now so I have time to get everybody notified. I had divers...

    Full Face Mask

    I'm not going to make an equiptment recommendation, more or a FEATURE recommendation. You can see if the units your looking at have it. Be sure the masks have the ability to depress or pinch the nose. It takes A LOT of practice to learn to equalize without pinching the nose (if that is how...

    Southern WV Dive Club Picnic

    For any of the divers that are planning to attend the picnic, air fills at Sarge's Dive Shop (in the marina) will need to get your tanks there earlier than the planned start of the picnic. They will be breaking their machine down around 10 or 10:30am and it should be reassembled and ready to go...

    probably Minnesota now

    Oh and Jason, I really don't like cold water. Had a bad experience with a dry suit and if I never put another one on, that's just fine with me. I also have that wierd problem with things that put pressure on my larynx. I bought my first wetsuit off the internet and made the mistake of buying...

    probably Minnesota now

    Thanks for the pity Dan, I thought I was the only one feeling sorry for me these days. I grew up in Michigan, so yeah, I do like winter. My husband is itching bad to buy a snowmobile. I told him he can just buy some tracks for his Argo and call it a day. Not to mention, these deer down...

    probably Minnesota now

    Okay, another change of plans. I hate when it's time to pickup and move again. But I guess the kids probably dislike it even more than myself. Anyway, Wisconsin seems out at present. It looks like it is more likely to be Minnesota. Burrr... :loki3: The Sandstone, Hinkley, Willow Lake...

    Southern WV Dive Club Picnic

    Hopefully around 80*, it has been around 83* lately. The Beckley Pancake House is OK, I guess. It is located on Harper Road, I-77 exit 44, then go East. It's about 1/3 of a mile on the left (or north side) of Harper Rd. Think you can make it?? Hope so. Oh, and it is weather...

    Introducing "The Wetter the Better"...

    Wow, that sounds great! My mom lives in Hobe Sound, and we always try to get some boat trips in when we're down visiting. Where do you guys go? On my last trip out we hit the "flower garden". Well let me tell you, it looked like someone trampled that garden. It was really disappointing...

    Water death...

    No, really, Gary has the most important point. How are YOU? God...I hate recovering kids. And yes, the families can usually be very kind to you, but sometimes (this is as a mother of 3 speaking) it can be so hard to be kind in return. Like one I remember, a few years back, a call-out we...

    Southern WI Rescue/Recovery

    Gary, with that many call-outs in a year, when do you have time to do your sheriff duties. Granted, I know that on several call-outs we never even get wet, but that still seems it would be enough to keep you in your wet suit atleast twice a week. I did not know the lakes up there were so...

    Southern WI Rescue/Recovery

    Thanks for providing so much info...it's been really helpful. I finally recieved a return phone call from the lady at the state EMS office. She is emailing me the forms to apply for a transfer of my cert. card. Althought she informed me that I will be needing the "weapons of mass destruction"...

    Southern WI Rescue/Recovery

    Dang, is it me, or do men just never listen to me. Why in the heck do you have so many incidents there? People drinking or just careless? And don't think that with all the call outs you guys do, that I haven't looked into relocating to your area. Besides, I love Idaho, it's beautiful. But...

    Summersville West Virginia

    Yes, there is a sunken boat there. I try not to think about it because I HATE sunken boats, I'm not sure why but they just give me the willies. It is a bit of a swim from the actual launch area. It is in a cove just around the corner. We can show you. There is also a platform down there by...
