    Ginnie 5/18 Intro Buddy needed

    Planning a day at Ginnie Springs with some friends diving and snorkeling. Only problem is I am the only certified cave diver in the group and if I am going to be that close it would pain me to not get an hour or two in the caves. Ultimately I would also like to dive with my friends in the...

    Thinking about selling my HP120's

    Right now I am considering selling my current tanks (I have owned them for the last 15 years and they belonged to my Dad before that) not because in some way they are bad but not ideal. Being the old 3500psi steels they are HEAVY I dive dry and need 0 weight in fresh water. However that also...

    I am not a decompression diver by any means, but as a nurse when we have cardiac patients with decreased perfusion we give aspirin to thin the blood and help to increase perfusion.

    How to try before you buy?

    I know that caves are dangerous and should not be attempted without proper training but how does someone know if they would like it enough to spend the money? I enjoy diving in springs and looking at rock formations and I think I'd be interested in exploring some caves nothing too intense...
