Ahhhh... Warm water divin'. Man, I'm jealous. In a couple weeks we're going up to Payette Lake and Warm Lake. 2 weeks ago they were 38 and 41 degrees. (Rumored... I waasn't there) Here's to hopin' they've warmed up a little. :)

Thanks for the information. I'm sure we'll have all kinds of questions once we know when and how many of us there will be. What are current water temps like?

Its a little tough to get much drifting done in Idaho. Lakes are a little slow and rivers are a little fast. Not to mention the 5' viz and white water. A few of us would like to come up to the Seattle area for some Drift Diving education and a little fun diving where we can actually see as...

There are solutions other than custom. When I started diving I was 6'3" and 427 pounds. I found an Akona 5xl 3mil farmer john and got by. I am now down to 270 and just got a Pinnacle 5mil Merino Elastoprene. The 3xl fits me like a glove and trust me, I'm still not shaped like your typical...

It only takes one... especially if its you. Read this thread. Unfortunately the links no longer work but you'll get the gist. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/accidents-incidents/187626-breaking-news-alabama-student-drowns.html

Thanks for all the imput. We have both already gotten our shots. I was just curious as to what others did. We also got them when we went to Hinduras a few years ago. This time it was Hepa A&B (missed my third shot last time) Tetanus booster. Yellow, Typhoid, Malaria tabs, and 1 or 2 others...

Probably not the right place to ask this but... How many of you get the appropriate shots/immunizations when traveling to dive? With an upcoming trip to Belize for ten days we decided to since we aren't staying at resorts and will be exposed to morethings. Just curious...

As others have already said, Take A Rescue Diver class. It will teach you how to deal with these situations safely. At 6.3 and 265 pounds, as a "paniced" diver, I was "handled" easily by my classmate from behind. All 160 pounds of him. By riding the victom's tank with your knees and holding...

My wife and I are making a dive/search trip in early March. We arrive in-country on a Thursday and will have a car for travel. We plan to cover from Placencia north and will spend the last 3 days at Sueno del Mar on north AC. I.m looking for suggestions of dive ops we can set up in advance...

Wife and I are heading down next month for dual purpose this time. Dive and look for property to purchase. We won't buy this trip as it is more of a scouting trip for future decision making. We'll look over AC but are more interested on Placencia and Dangriga. Punta Gordo is maybe a little...

I'm not an attorney but... If the dive trip was booked through the cruise line things change. It can be argued that the trip was indeed a RCCL trip and the Dive Op was actining as a contractor employed by the cruise line. All moneys were paid to the cruise line and that is where the liability...

Retirement property in Belize...

Everything they said plus one more. I bought an inexpensive fabric cutter wheel. It is about 3/4" diamiter on a handle and rolls as you cut. Put a "no-cut" board under the section you're cutting and roll away. It cuts 7mil perfectly.

We (wife, 18 & 20 year olds and me) will be in Key Largo from June 8th -17th. The kids haven't dived for two years and only have about 20 dives. I have several questions please. 1. Will the Island Sun Splash make it difficult to book dives once we are down there? 2. Any recommendations on...

Thanks Rick. I assumed that was what the T was but had no clue what dropping cookies was. For me, dropping a cookie is ussually what I do just before I quickly bend over. :)

Sorry if this is a really dumb question but I'm not trained in cave diving. Can you "BRIEFLY" describe what doing a 'T' and dropping a cookie are?

I dive a 7mil with hood, gloves and boots here in idaho. 18 pounds with a steel 120 and the venture does fine. I would think twice with 30+ pounds in rough water.

Soooooo....... Based on your comment, I should start taking my attorney diving with me so he can interpret the real meaning of all those warnings and waivers? That is a pretty provocative statement.
