I've been "solo" diving off and on since I started diving. When I first started diving I tried to always dive with someone, that someone tended to be whoever else showed up with out a buddy and also tended not to have the best buddy skills or dive experience. When I can get away with it I dive...

Like the others said drop the belt, use the intergrated and add to the trim pouches. I have a raider which is like the ranger with options. I use about 2/3 rds in the pouches and 1/3 rd in the trim pouches in back. On the surface don't fully inflate and lean back. Also if your using 16-20 lbs...

I have a Garmin GPS 76CS. I used it with a float bag to mark spots while doing my divemaster map. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=251#featureTab

Blue Lagoon dosn't have much in the way of comforts but is fine for local diving and getting wet. All restrooms are porta potties and the only water is the lake so bring something to drink and picknick as the nearest place to eat is in town. The shelters will be in use by the dive shops but...

Sounds cool. I'm hoping to get to dive there sometime in the near future. I'm still a bit broke from my FL trip last week.

Balmorhea was a fun, been there, done that kinda dive. Lots to see but it is very small and shallow and a bit boring after 30 mins or so. I've been there a few times and was fine in a 3 mil but wasn't there during the winter so I was able to warm up during the si. I also dove the Blue hole...

Went diving with my newly cert son. Worked with to get him more comfortable in the water and refine some skills. I also gave him an intro to deeper diving (70'-80') as well as got his girlfriend cert. Fun year hope to get more diving in this year.

Congrats on your decision! Diving will open a whole new world for you. Have fun!

Well, I've never tried to empty a tank and see how many tires I can fill. I've got 33' BFG's on my toyota and have no problems topping off the tires or filling up a tire that went flat overnight from a slow leak. I've got 80 cf and pst 130's, both work fine.

Congrats!!!!!!! As a former US Army Sgt my son willl be grad soon as well. It's nice to know there are those who proudly serve

After such a long, long time away the Geek (for those who may remember me, so many new names on the board) has returned to Houston.

Rick, I'm glade to hear that you spoke with the family and they were ok. I am relieved to hear that you were sensitive to the family and were understanding of how I felt about your posting. That shows to me a bit of class and true concern. I'm sorry that I got the wrong impression about you...

Had he explained himself to the family afterwards and not just running off I would be inclined to agree, but I thought it shameful and offensive as he told it. Now that he's had time to digest his actions he chose to discuse it in a humor section which makes it worse. I have two flag cases in...

I hope your joking and made this up cuz there is nothing funny about your story. Had you been playing at my fathers funeral and this occured you woudnt have made it to you car. Having a problem with your horn is one thing and excusable, but getting caught up with giggles would have been...

You don't want to go diving at the Reef.

[My source told me the first and third dives were on air.] Thats what I understood as well.

While I didn't know this diver personaly I received a call letting me know that he had been hurt a few days ago. My Bro-Inlaw knew him well and had been his instr. What I heard from a couple of divers that knew the details of his dives and death was that he made one dive to 90 ft dive then...

yep, I finnished. It took me a bit to find a student for my DM conducted program or I would have been finnished some time ago. I enjoyed the extra time though and hopefully will make me a better DM in the long run. I'm thinking of taking the PADI large boat DM specialty so I can work the FG...

Hey Paul, Sounds like a fun trip. I was in Austin the other weekend and ran accrossed Steve F and Cpt Howey from the Sea Searcher.

I'll tell ya what I'll play along with this silly game. Since O2 is lighter than nitrogen then will all the nitrogen sink to the bottom of the tank leaving only a high percentage of o2 on the top of the tank? Gee wiz if thats the case could get a tox hit due to breathing to rich a mix since...
