    New England Area Question

    I don't know of any, but since you're looking for something approaching 20 feet, maybe you should look for a college/university that has a diving board that is higher than a 1 meter....The kind of diving boards that are referred to as high dives. I'm not sure if they're much deeper, but it's my...

    Another newby asking for help...

    Well, per usual, TSandM showed up to give a more thorough examination of the issue than I did. Later, DandyDon will show up to call me a moron (and be right). Listen to TSandM--the issues she mentioned involving air integration and the computers algorithm are very important. For...

    Another newby asking for help...

    I like my Oceanic Veo 250n. It does nitrox up to 40% and air--the nitrox is the 1 mixed gas application that you might get interested in. It only has 1 button, it's really simple. Also, it is water activated, so it starts when I splash if I've forgotten to turn it on. As simple as it is, it...

    Nitrox/Snorkel question

    Um...Guys? Can we promise to never give historical context, technical diagrams or praise to my threads? We are threatening to shade my comments as more that completely inane. I have a reputation to protect.

    Ever seen divers getting agro under water?

    Excellent. Language is a static form of communication. It never evolves and cannot be modified. How come you didn't post in Sanskrit? Slumming it today I see?

    You Know You are a Diver When....

    If your neck feels warm, that is my seething hatred and jealousy. Don't worry, it will clear up in six or seven decades. :D

    Sherwood regs

    I love my Sherwood Oasis, it breathes well in shallow and deep water, and it's great in New England (NOT ice or super cold applications) and is amazing in warm water, where it prevents cotton mouth. The bubbles don't get in my face because of the special exhaust Sherwood uses, which is...

    Grand Cayman--Need some advice about filming

    Thanks! Does anyone know what the East End looks like? I haven't been in a few years, and back then there were a still a lot of devasted houses and signs of Ivan's Path. I was wondering if that was all cleaned up, or if a story could be pieced together about the lasting impact/reef recovery...

    Grand Cayman--Need some advice about filming

    Hi folks, Some friends of mine are going to be in Grand Cayman in a week or so to film a segment on Stingray City for a non-profit educational show. We were hoping to get in another couple segments, but there is a problem--There is so much footage of reefs that has been done, that the only...

    Not certified and still diving? How???

    There is no such thing as a "cyber diver." The correct term is Intertube Quarry Comando

    Prescription Scuba Mask

    The costs at Sea Vision seem to be in line with what I'm talking about, but I really, really would advise the OP to try on a mask, make sure that it's a fit, then get the lenses. I wonder if the OP has asked at the LDS about this.

    Prescription Scuba Mask

    Most dive shops can help with this--I have a pair of these prescription goggles, it cost me about $90.00. They just take your glasses, and figure out the prescription, then get lenses for each eye. I don't need a perfect match, since underwater refraction is an issue, and besides, how much am...

    Kicked out of Nitrox Class!!

    I'm just glad the OP has good anger management. I might have tried to O2 clean the LDS owner's lungs.

    Being a left-handed diver

    Actually, I'm WAY better than you are. I'm a lefty, and I have managed to be twice as dexterous AND still get hurt. :D

    So Annoyed!

    BTW, had to post another comment here: If you even THINK about smoking up in UAE, they'll put to in jail for a LONG time...if you're lucky. Awhile ago, a tourist's bag failed a canabis test...no, he didn't have weed in the bag, but there was either a tiny amount on the outside of the bag, or...

    Cleaning My Computer

    I use a Veo 180n. I do everything above, but since my computer (not sure about yours) is water activated and has a few nooks, I use rubbing alcohol to dry out any residual water after I soak it. This helps to make it shut off.
