    Tool Kit?

    Just a word of caution if you build your own, you should check the TSA restrictions or be certain to pack it in your checked baggage. I lost a couple of wrenches to TSA because they were to long and packed in my backpack.

    Flower Gardens, Mv Fling

    Flower gardens in the spring can be quite a ride. Start your Bonine 48 hrs before you get on the boat, unless you already have a good set of sea legs.

    The bug bit me (the Diving bug) :D

    At my local shop it is $8 to rent a tank and $6 to fill one. So it takes around 100 dives to break even, assuming you buy new. Buying used comes with it's with potential pitfalls. $3000 will cover a lot of gasoline and tank retentals or fills.

    The bug bit me (the Diving bug) :D

    The first thing I recommend to all new or potentially new divers do, is read Jim Lapenta's who's responsible for what post. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/new-divers-and-those-considering-diving/283566-who-responsible-what.html The second thing I recommend is do as much home work as you can...

    GUE Fundamentals and Finding an Instructor

    I saw your post about GUE fundamentals. I took the fundamentals course the summer before last. I failed the course miserably and it was worth every penny I spent, because I was forced to take a realistic look at my skill level and learned what the next level of diving looks like. So I highly...

    Everything went wrong today. Advice needed.

    The one thing I notice about new divers is they are disorganized and scurry about doing things haphazardly. Slow down and relax. If hauling gear is a chore for you in the Florida heat. Take five or ten minute break after hauling it. Drink some cool water, maybe even take a dip in the spring to...

    Which drysuit?

    Which drysuit is best for the pre-dive. I currently use a 7mil semi-dri when I need extra thermal protection. I have had to thumb a dive because of over heating when something has delayed my entry. Thanks in advance.

    Hey guys

    I agree with the above posters. Diving is a gear intensive hobby( read that as expensive). Three years ago shortly after getting certified I bought a discounted closeout kit(BC, regulators, and computer) for $650, just because of the price. I've since replace every piece of it. Not because it...

    Salvage Diving

    For the first time I have no intention of doing anything more than observesing. Aside from the usual hazards of diving and lifting objects while diving is there anything else I should be concerned about. It is my understanding the boat is in 90ft of water and they will salvage it in two stages...

    Salvage Diving

    I met a guy last weekend that told me he would be part of a team salvaging a sunken house boat on one of our local lakes. I said that would be something I interested in observing, fully expecting him to tell me for safety reasons I wouldn't be allowed near the operations. Instead, he said he...

    2/3 dives per day

    Another thing to consider, especially if you will be in tropical region, is hydration. Some claim dehydration increases the chance of getting bent. Others will say it has no effect. But, I have yet to hear anybody say proper hydration will increase your chances of getting bent. So, I say what...
