    Spearing Bass

    It's my fav fish to eat and I love to angle. Now that I dive, I would like to try my hand at spearing them. My question, as a lay person to the sport, what would my ideal tool be for the job? Smaller the better. Do I go for a pole or a gun? Thanks guys.

    One day to dive... do you bring it all?

    I'm torn. I have a couple weeks in the Mediterranean coming up BUT I'm only going to have one full day to dive. I'm having trouble deciding whether to bring all the gear or suck it up and rent? I'm definitely bringing the computer and regs and fins/mask. I'm torn mostly about the wetsuit and...

    Shark Week's coming... A good thing? A bad thing? Does it really have an effect?

    I love sharks, and I love documentaries on them...well pretty much documentaries in general. Over the years, I've noticed, a lot of the production have moved away from the science-type information-packed shows and into the over-exaggerated shock and awe tactics. Shows have titles like When...

    AOW Text, have there been changes to the Q's since the '04 printing?

    Ok, so... A couple years ago when I got certified I picked up a new Padi AOW course book. Unfortunately due to a break up I was unable to follow through with the course. Additionally, I managed to lose the dang book. I'm currently signed up for an AOW course. I managed to rustle up an older...

I want to have some sort of idea as to how much weight to play with on my first checkout dive so this...

    Look but Don't Touch!!

    First, I was torn as to which section to post this in. I thought basic might be right as a remind to us less experienced folks that just because something seems friendly, it is clearly not....being a wild animal and all. Mods feel free to move it to a more appropriate section :)...

    Diving in a dangerous current.

    Recently I have read a number of posts regarding down currents and some stories regarding their potential dangers. I thought it might be a good idea for it to be discussed here. For instance, what would one do if an unexpected or unexpectedly strong current pulled you over the edge of the reef...
