Your fitness will definitly contribute but also the human body is not meant to carry that much weight as we do with our diving gear. I had pain in my neck and shoulder blade areas after fighting with the tank and BC that didn't fit me properly in the pool during OW classes. After I got my...

If I do get a muscle cramp they do often get worse overnight if I don't stick a magnet (not refrigerator kind but ones made for relieving muscle pain) on it. The magnets work every time for me and even faster if you also get the cramped muscle massaged. Even the most fit of us get the...

Some of my simple things... Brad Having a freshly washed and dried wetsuit to put on for each dive. Ice cold water to drink when our dive is over. Ahhhh! Eating after a dive!!! Fruit fruit fruit! The feel of the trapped water leaving my ears. Showering all the Lake and diving...

We tried out our new Bare Velocity 3/2 wetsuits with Hydrostretch last evening and I thought I'd give a review. We ordered the Bare brand since they offer a TALL version in various sizes for men and women to fit those of athletic and slim builds. MightyScuba has the MedTall in the...

Sounds fun! We really ejoyed diving Mansfield Dam from the campsites last time and would love to do it again. =] I personally liked the fact that there is waaaaaay less fish at the Dam versus Windy Point. Those big catfish still scare the breath out of me when they swim at me/my light out of the...

I guess I simply see it differently. At least down here in Texas I am very pleased to see the largely male contingent of divers well mannered gentlemen who offer to help or jump right in to help if they see you struggling. The truth is that yes I am smaller and physically weaker than they are...

Um, yes but more like Short Barbie since I'm only 5'3".

Yes, there is still the red pull cord but you certainly don't have to use it. Since the Zena is so form fitting and doesn't have bulges around the waist or hips, you can easily wear a weight belt with it. I just pop a mesh bag with a few pounds into each of the zippered (nice large easy to grab...

Dee, I have a pressed HP steel 80 and am waiting for the two other HP steel 80s to get here before I convert my flathead to DIN and just dive the steel tanks and no longer have to pay rental fees. :) Sunday (today), we're going to catch a matinee maybe and relax and plan on hitting Windy...

Is this normal to have a very hard time trying to draw air through your second stage when you look straight up at the surface? This is the only time it requires effort to draw a breath on my second stage. Happens every time though. I am using a new Zeagle Flathead VI. My husband has the exact...

We enjoyed meeting you, too!=] We just came back from a three dive morning at Windy Point. It pays to get there at 8am!! Every time we finshed a dive and came up the stairs in was like a field of neoprene sheep! The water was great and we didn't want to get out. I still look like a...

Three cheers for you! =] Hurray for another Texas diver! Gee, maybe there's something in the water???;]

MightyScuba and i just came back from diving Windy Point this evening (Friday) and there was maybe two other diving pairs there. It was so peaceful and quiet and the water though low felt perfect. We just got in one dive since we wanted to be out before the sun set. We were able to pack up while...

Wow, no way we'd want to miss a chance like this! We'd gladly make the drive from Austin. =]

I don't know why but The Great White North part isn't sitting well here...I think because we've had to correct too many people who believed that ALL of Canada is found north of the United States and that it always snows everywhere and that we all live in igloos. It's too bad I didn't know how...

I don't recall the brands/models of the other two ladies BCDs I tried before I tried the Zena. The others looked like the men's versions just sized smaller. I do recall they had velcro cummerbunds. Neither were suited to my figure so I kept looking/trying until I asked them to take down the Zena...

I thought my first fins were just two boards tied to my feet during my OW lessons and certification dive. I also have narrow feet with no arch (nor instep) and I have tried 4 or 5 different fins before I hands-down chose the ScubaPro Twin Jets. Holy Cow what a difference! Feels like virtually no...

MightyScuba and I had a very nice time meeting so many fellow diving Texans over the past three days. It was our first time being amongst other divers and we thank you for being very kind, helpful and funny people. You made two newbies feel very welcome. =] We had some very good dives this...

Well, after reading all the "spit works great for defogging" posts on the board I decided I'd try it today when I was fogged and away from any commercial defogger. But, I didn't have any spit so I licked the lens. Worked like a charm! Even better than the 500psi and the Aqua-something...

We lucked out with the closest LDS to us being the most pleasant. They are a bright, clean shop with much to see, let you touch the products, happy to explain or service you on the spot, offer discounts and club memberships with extra % off on purchases, order what you want if they don't happen...
