I am glad I could make your day a little brighter!:D Please understand that it is not my intention to "tell" somebody or "try to force" somebody to use a snorkel. The Original Poster asked a question on peoples opinions and based on what he had said in his post I replied Here is what...

Work, family, time, and right now I am tankless. I know I could rent but with gas prices right now I can barely get to work LOL

And yet you read it...:D

Firstly I have to apologize for my profile being out of date. My experience should say one year but I am sure that still won't make my opinion valid. Besides that I am sure that numbers of years diving would not make a difference in judging a person's beliefs in why "we do things the way we do...

I just don't understand why people seem to think that they need to use a snorkel when they are on the surface to breathe. We live our day to day lives without a snorkel. I swim in the pool withot a snorkel. I swim in the ocean without a snorkel. Why is it that becuase I have a tank on my...

I consider the snorkel a safety concern. It is always in the way. I only used one in my open water class. Once I started diving without "eyeballing" instructors I ditched it. I don't even own a snorkel right now. A snorkel is going to do you no good if you run out if air. Give the OOA...

Good point. I wonder?!

Reading this thread makes me want to pee, um wait, ahh! Just made me pee, and I am not diving!! Whoops. :D Seriously though. You gotta! It is what makes the whole diving experience what it is. When else can a grown man piss himself and get away with it? If you pee a lot then the sea...

Does nobody dive Little Corona? I love that dive site. Espescially during the day. There is a lot of kelp and wildlife there. Parking sucks sometimes but I have always been able to find a spot. The hike up the hill sucks a little too but hey who doesn't need a little exercise. Other...

I am sure some of you have seen the shark poll I posted a little while ago here and I was talking to my girlfriend, who obviously is not a diver, and she expressed an interest in going on a shark dive. Not really to dive with them just to see them in the wild. She would never want to get in...

Great posts guys. Hopefully these results will help to relieve some grief from my diving life.

It is funny you mention that because she works at a greyhound adoption center. I am definitely going to show her this post. Thanks!

So that's the secret! Get married and wait a year. Well maybe I see you guys in a year. Not Likely!

Worried significant others seems to be a trend here. Maybe in OW classes they should have a "family night" where the instructor can calm any worried family members down and let them know that conservative rec diving is safe, espescially from sharks.

That is real assuring I bet. I pulled some stats for her yesterday and as it turns out there are only like 16 deaths due to sharks per year but there are 42 deaths due to lightning strikes per year, so I told her I want her to stay home all day everyday because I do not want her zapped my...

I like that thinking. Sometimes I use the even "close to being as big as me is big."

Well size is relative but I would classify anything that could do some damage to you as big. I guess you would use your initial feeling when you saw it. Was it big or small the first time you laid eyes on it?

OK, here is the deal. My girlfriend is scared to death of sharks and gives me a hard time everytime I go out diving. She thinks that I will be eaten everytime. I don't think she understands just how rare sharks in the ocean really are so I am posing this poll as a means of being able to...

I second, or even third, the motion about hanging out in a pool for a while. When I took my OW class we started in the 3 foot section and worked our way to 5 feet then worked our way to 12 feet all while doing mask clearing and other such skills. It really helped us to be able to get...
