That's the one!:clapping: Thanks a lot! :thumbs-up

My new ss backplate and harness should be arriving soon, but I'm not certain on how to weave the harness. I found a link to an excellent tutorial here on SB and bookmarked it, but my browser got reset somehow and I lost the link. After many searches I haven't been able to find it again. This...

Hello all, For my first BC I'm getting a BP/W. However, I need help choosing a wing. I'm primarily looking at the Oxycheq Mach V, and the OMS non-retraction band singles wing. I also have ne idea how much lift capacity I need (I'm 5'10", slim build, 7mil wetsuit, mostly cold New England...

Thanks for all your replies! The suits were definitely older than "last year's model." I stretched the arm cuffs to compare, and the old ones had very little stretch at all, especially compared to the new extra-stretchy ones. They are 7mm full suits, so I'll probs have to invest in a hooded...

One of the dive shops near me sells old wetsuits that are still technically new in that no one has dove them, but they are years old and do not stretch like the new ones do. As a dirt poor college student, should I consider buying one of these ($50-$80 range) so that I can get out diving more...

I'd just like to clarify, I'm not worried about myself, but rather future buddies I may have. Half of my diving experience has been essentially unsupervised at sites we had never been to before. Two other divers I saw in my AOW class were, quite frankly, terrible divers, and I want to know if...

I should explain, I've been diving for a few years now, but lack of funding and transportation (I'm in college after all) has prevented me from diving more. However, despite my mere 21 dives, I feel like diving comes naturally to me and I'm very comfortable underwater. When I did AOW I felt...

Reading people talk about poorly taught dive students in another thread have led me to wonder, how good at diving should one be immediately after OW? Thanks! --Dan(ger)

It's interesting reading these comments; it seems that diving professionals (paid to teach people) are appalled at the thought of anyone so much as putting their face underwater without paid supervision, while those who dive solely for fun are more open to a non-traditional route to diving. I...

Thanks, I'll have to look into that. Liability never occurred to me. Hmmm.

I am always talking about diving, but none of my friends dive. Some are interested, and I feel like they would be more interested if they could try it out before spending hundreds of dollars to get certified. So, my question is, will dive shops do some sort of intro to diving thing for...
