Reef Point Diving in Racine is taking a group to Wazee this weekend. I'm taking a drysuit class, I think there there may be another taking a rescue class and some new OW students. It's my first time to Wazee, first time in cold fresh water, other than the Reiman aquarium in Milwaukee. If anyone...

Finally getting my own gear. I picked up a used U.S Diver Conshelf 21 reg set a few months ago. Looks like new. Ordered a Scubapro Knight Hawk BC and Uwatec AladinTec 2G computer. And signed up for a drysuit class. Land class will be the 17th and open water at Wazee lake in north central...

I am looking at a getting an MK25 and either a G250 or S555. It seems they are very similar in cost and design. Any pros or cons one way or the other?

I am looking for easy training spots. The Racine Quarry is a mess, so that's out. Finding local pool time has been a bust. So, I'm thinking Lake Michigan, Racine has some nice beaches, not sure how far out we would have to go to get 12-15 ft of water. The goal is to get brother-in-law, nephew...

and Marvel for hlep with gear, buddies and dive sites and ScubaJenny, FastAttack and all the other Conch's I've met and/or dove with. I've been in Miami about 3 mos and go to enjoy 5 shore dives a reef clean-up, and 4 Keys dives, including my first wreck. All in all a nice balance to the work...

Ikelite, Nikon and Fantasea all make housings. price ranges from ~$135-$285. Is the more expensive Ikelite or Nikon housing worth it? Or will the Fantasea adequate?

Scubaguy62 and I are meeting Sun at 8:30am. Anybody that wants to join us is welcome to show up.

Hi all, I'm in Miami for a work assignment and am interested in diving (shore dive preferred, I'm on a tight budget :D ) or snorkeling this weekend. If diving I will need to rent gear. So, I'm looking for advice and buddies, dive locations, shops etc. I've done all of my diving so far in...

I've got a work project in the Miami Lakes area and am wondering where/who the good dive shop and charter ops in the area are. It will probably take me a couple of weeks to get organized, but then I'm thinkin' I'd like to get some diving in. Any advice or comments will be appreciated. Thanks...

I've been diving for about a year, (52 dives). I have chronic sinusitis (post nasal drip). the ENT has me on Nasonex which seems to work moderately well. On the advice of DAN, my instructors and the dive professionals I dive with and the concurrance of the ENT I use a 12 hr sustained release...

I'm in Puerto Rico, sort of out in the countryside, on a work project. I went diving last Sat (03DEC05). No issues, good dive, conditions were outstanding (SW coast on the wall off Guanica). In retropect, I did hear some different sounds when my ears equalized, squeaking and just a little more...

Nightline is covering Dave Shaw's dive into Bushman's Hole tonight.

and he said he would take me and a buddy diving. My question is, are there any inherent risks in diving off of a personal pleasure boat, I think it's a 42' Chris Craft with a swim platform. He took divers a few years ago and said he didn't like the tanks rolling around. I think we can...

Hi all, Planning to dive Devil's Lake Monday (11 JULY). But, might consider Geneva Lake or other site. . . What do you guys think? Cold water and a heavy wetsuit are new to me. All of my previous diving has been in Puerto Rico. My buddy has some cold water experiance and has dove Devil's...

I just got certified OW PADI. I am very very comfortable in the water, always have been as long as I can remember. Was a swimming instructor at the Y when I was 14, was on the HS swim team, Red Cross WSI, etc. . . My instructors gave me 1 on 1 instruction (I was the only student at the time :))...

I'm a newly certified diver. I've always loved the water, was a life guard and swimming instructor, on the swim team etc. . . I was working on a project in Puerto Rico and did a PADI Discover SCUBA dive in Dec and really enjoyed it. I finished my OW cert dives Saturday. And I'm looking forward...
