We dove Aurora Res today (April 1) and I thought you might like a little report. Air temp was 55°, partly cloudy and windy. No one has been down there for quite awhile. I expected the vis to be decent, but it was pretty typical. Maybe 6’. Tens of thousands of crawdads, a few bass and a big...

Does anyone have a fairly pristine DSS Wing that they would like to sell? Preferably 26# or 30# lift. Would also consider a full rig. $ or talk to me about bartering for something new, if you prefer.

It looks like this hasn't been a very active area for posting in quite awhile. I certainly haven't been around Scubaboard for awhile, but have been diving and enjoying life in the meantime! We used to have an annual Rocky Mountain Oysters get together..Maybe its time again. It would be good to...

Just finished a few dives at Aurora. Sunny and calm. No other divers at all. 20' vis. No green algae. 53° at the plane. Grilled a nice picnic lunch. All together great day of diving! I hope to see some of you Oysters, that I haven't seen for awhile!

Here is a heads up to anyone who has been considering the possibility of becoming a drysuit diver! We have created an opportunity to get a nice new drysuit, a drysuit specialty certification with classroom and pool session, 6 supervised dives, and 2 nights lodging for a super great price...

Here are some photos from our underwater costume party!

Greetings, I thought I'd reach out to SB for some fun ideas and discussion. In the interest of bringing landlocked divers together, improving skill sets, and promoting diving, we have been running monthly scuba challenges in a large 25 meter x 20 meter x 4 meter pool. So far, the contests...

Well, Ron Frank and I are here with a good sized group from Colorado. Weatherman is predicting near 90 degree temps. Tonight we saw, a number of nudis, an octo, some Halameda ghost pipefish, and a school of barracuda, but that was a slide show.. We'll post on the actual qualities of Blue Hole...

It looks like my wife and I have reason to go to Sante Fe next weekend. If we go, I'm going to dive BH on Sat the 11th. Anyone else interested? RMOs don't seem too active lately. One way or another, we probably ought to plan a get together. There are a lot of you that I haven't had the...

I'm planning on being in Crested Butte for the Independence Weekend...probably through the 5th. We are bringing dive gear and will likely dive Blue Mesa over the weekend. Another possibility is driving up to Lake City (50 miles south of Blue Mesa) and diving Lake San Cristobal. It is very...

My wife and I are heading to Vancouver Island for some diving, camping and adventure, June 3-13. We will likely start in Victoria and work our way up to Nanaimo, over to Tofino, and back, but we aren't opposed to changing plans entirely and going all the way up to PH. We are familiar with the...

I teach Scuba Diving in the Health Sciences College at a University. The Scuba II course is a very thorough 8 week Advanced Open Water course. The students complete the course with a strong understanding of advanced dive planning, including gas planning, deep dive planning within recreational...

After recently watching a linked video here on SB with a few divers wearing BP/Ws, long hose/bungied alt, and jetfins, and then struggling mightily to get through a coral swim-through without banging off the walls or crawling along the bottom, I felt compelled to comment. Here on Scubaboard...

Had to work Friday and didn't leave Fort Collins until 5pm. Bad traffic all the way to Co Springs and then finally arriving in Santa Rosa at 1am made for a shaky start to the weekend. 7am Sat came quickly, but it was a beautiful day and we were ready to play. A quick continental Bfast at the...

I should say, Scubatoys has an active Vortex incident thread. It is moderated. <link deleted by op.> While the thread here on SB was much more informative and enlightened, some malicious posts forced mods to close it. For those who have been following the thread and want to continue...

An incident occurred while teaching last weekend that I feel needs to be discussed. Some background: Instructors and DMs in landlocked areas will often teach classroom and pool sessions for a month and then journey to an Open Water site for certifications. It is not unusual to have an OW...

Last minute BH trip. There is a new dive club out of Fort Collins called Alpine Divers. They are headed to Blue Hole this weekend. Matt and I will be going as well to show them the ropes and to conduct an AOW and a Rescue class as well. My lift bag is going to be in my pocket...:D

Many of you received the email from James Hedges. It looks like divers are needed for a promotional video to be shot on Wednesday, May 20. Its mid-week and short notice, but it may be fun with great viz. Plus you can star in the promotional video shot by the marketing company. "All: I...
