Alright, I ended up taking advantage of a Black Friday deal and ended up with a GoPro Hero3 Black. Suggested mounts?? Floating hand grip? Adjustable monopod?

Thanks everyone! I suppose part of my question on the GoPro3 vs. 7 (or other models) is that from what I read, the 3 is the last year that you didn't need a housing. I like the idea of doing a kit with lights and such, but I'm looking more for the typical grip thing, especially just starting...

Beachbody coach here :happywave:... I'm a big fan of the LIIFT4 program. It's weightlifting combined with HIIT (high intensity interval training). It's four days a week, so avoids the overtraining. I've seen big improvements in my strength with doing those workouts. I do all of the modified...

Hey guys! I'll be doing a few dives in the keys next month and I've finally decided to purchase a camera. I'd been using my old iPhone5 with a watershot case. It did okay, but I've missed too many awesome shots because I forgot to turn off the autolock feature :facepalm:... the last time this...

Bummer! It's near my mom's place in Reisterstown and I was looking at checking it out this summer... thought I could drop off my kid and get wet. :(

Just an update now that we are a month out, we got some practice in the freezing cold darkness of Dutch Springs a few weeks ago and dove to 70' and were comfortable apart from the cold, so I am thinking that with hiring a DM guide we will be comfortable enough to do up to 75-80' now that we've...

Sorry I missed you this weekend! We ended up riding over with our friend who was getting his OW dives and we were kind of tied to his timetable. :( The Lehigh Valley Dive Center was great! The staff were friendly and their rentals even came with air fills, so if we go back to Dutch Springs, we...

Well I don’t know anymore... I wouldn’t want to get wet or anything!

Thanks Mike! We will definitely stop by and say hello... my name is Lauren. :)

Thanks for the tip! We're opting for the weekend rental rate, so we'll be picking them up saturday morning and dropping them off sunday afternoon... looks like they're open til 6 and we should be headed home by 3 or 4, so I doubt that will be an issue. Sounds cool! I will mention it to them...

Thanks everyone! We ended up getting a 2 bedroom suite at the Residence Inn. I'll report on it after this weekend... I generally love a Residence Inn, but some reviews said that one is a little dated. Oh well, free breakfast! We wanted something not too pricey but halfway decent since hubby and...

First time diving Dutch Springs this weekend... we were supposed to hook up with our friends at Lake Phoenix, but they're in NY so it's too much of a haul for them. Anyway, do I need to reserve a tank ahead of time? It says to call to reserve equipment, but I would think that tanks wouldn't be...

Thanks for the info, I am pretty sure they're PADI. It looks like our weekend plans got jacked up for the 9th... we'll probably try to hit up Dutch Springs on Sunday since it's closer to us and plan another weekend trip down to LP. Maybe by then our friends will have their certification dives...

Hubby and I are planning on a weekend at Lake Phoenix June 9th & 10th. We have some friends who should be finished their OW class in the next few weeks. They live on Long Island and probably won’t be able to get their checkout dives done before that weekend, so we were going to see if they could...

How were viz and temp?

Thanks everyone! I talked to hubby and he agreed that we will likely try to charter something for a mid-week dive and see if we can fill up the boat, since our stay is Saturday-Saturday. We have an almost 4 year old who might get freaked out when he wakes up his first morning in a strange new...

Hi everyone! My hubby (buddy) and I are going to be in OBX (staying in Avon) from the 18th-25th. We'd like to charter a trip or join a boat for the week that we'll be down there. We each have about 30 dives and our AOW (max depth has been to 80') but we primarily dive in tropical conditions a...

Just a followup... I survived with an intact eardrum. :) No pain during the dive and I didn't have any problem equalizing, although I do still have a feeling of fullness in my ear. I've had that happen over the years (before diving, FWIW) where I've had that fullness sensation for a week or two...

The pressure change within the first 33 feet is the first thing that I thought of... but then I thought that this is only first third of that 33 feet. I guess I will equalize early & often, not force it and ascend if it doesn't work out. Or maybe just snorkel on the top, ha! Thanks for the doc...
