    Uwatec Smart Pro

    Is anyone still diving with a non-recalled Uwatec SmartPRO or SmartCOM dive computer? I know ScubaPro no longer provides the “free batteries for life” anymore, but there are third-party vendors who replace batteries at a nominal fee. If you are still using one, do you still use the SmartTRAK...

    Joe, I'm glad your time is running short. You're going to have to make a trip to NC to come dive with Polly and me! Stay safe!

    Gotta try this! Outsmarting your foot....

    Here's one for ya...when you're bored at work, pick up a pen or pencil in each hand, and try writing your name making the letters correctly in your right hand, while simultaneously writing your name making the "mirror image" letters with your left hand. (Yes, I can do it...ambidextrous people...

    Gotta try this! Outsmarting your foot....

    It also depends on how you draw the #6. Most people have a tendency to start the #6 at the top and end with the loop. However, if you begin with the loop and finish the "6" at the top, then your hand makes the same clockwise motion as your foot and, voila! I successfully drew the #6 on my first try.

    Qatar (Doha) Sponsor needed!

    I wish I could be of assistance, but I'm not sure if any of my contacts at CENTCOM at MacDill AFB are still there or not. I heard from a few guys that the diving there is great. Good luck.

    Does scuba diving ever freak you out?

    Booky, I just finished my rescue diver training a few months ago, and the number one reason for scuba diving accidents is poor judgement. It sounds to me like you have your head set squarly on your shoulders and don't seem the type to make rash decisions while diving (such as entering a wreck...

    Scuba diving cat

    Primates are the only animals with sinuses, and human's have the largest sinus cavities. Most animals can automatically equalize to the ambient pressure. I've never heard of a mountain goat coming down the mountain because he couldn't equalize at elevation, so why wouldn't it work for increased...

    I'm thinking it's time we discuss our funniest Wal-Mart purchases. State what you bought, then tell us why you think it's funny. My funniest Wal-Mart purchase: 9mm handgun ammo and panty-hose. No, I wasn't going to go rob a bank. My wife ran her panty-hose the day before my brother and I...

    Ear problem at 33m

    Two days is enough time to go by where the jellyfish sting shouldn't affect you. I'm assuming you didn't have a serious reaction to the sting, otherwise you could have ended up in the hospital. I'd still go to see a doctor about it. If anything, the doctor may just tell you to give it time, but...

    The "ever notice" thread

    Ever notice that you can go all day at work with seemingly nothing to do until it's 30 minutes before quitting time?

    Ear problem at 33m

    I would go see a doctor. Though I am NOT a doctor, it sounds like you may have had some residual water in your ear from your Caribbean vacation, and had a minor ear infection, and when you went diving again, your eustation tubes began acting up. The doctor may give you an antibiotic and...

    WWII Memorial

    I've not been there yet, but would like to go. Does the memorial only list those who were killed in combat, or are wounded Soldiers listed as well?
