    Dive computers... SO many choices!

    I was in the same boat, looking at a number of computers and trying to figure out which was best for my needs. I vascilated between the D4i, Oceanic Geo, Zoop, etc. I finally decided that I would just go with a Zoop which was inexpensive and could be used as a backup once I decided on what I...

    Hey there from East Central Fla

    Newly certified PADI Open, Enriched & Advanced along with my son who wanted to certify as his graduation present from college. I originally certified NAUI in 1980 but have been out of it for quite a few years so I figured I would re-certify with my son. I am not quite in the shape I was in 1980...

    Dry Tortugas

    Yes, confusing. Saw a post on another board where they were looking for a couple more "experienced nitrox spearfishing divers" for this particular trip. Curious as to what would cause an experienced diver to panic at 60'.
