    Earache and no medicine ... conclusion

    I have been browsing this forum and hijacking other people's threads asking questions about treatment and such, unintentionally actually, but it was taking away from the people who posted. So, I am creating this one, which will appear as so many others I am sure. But, if you have never had the...

    Fort Lauderdale Lodging/Diving suggestions

    Good morning Florida conch Divers. It has become very affordable to travel to Ft. Lauderdale from up here in N. Ala. and I would like to take advantage of the opportunity while it exists. I have not been to Ft. Lauderdale and would not know how to begin setting up the lodging and diving in...

    Boat Dive from Gulf Shores/Orange Beach

    We, my wife and I, are going to be in Gulf Shores the weekend after Thanksgiving and we want to go diving on that Saturday morning (we will be travelling on Friday and Sunday). My wife has just been certified this summer so this will be her first 'real' dive (We have done a couple of short...

    Dentures and regulators

    OK, a little humility on my part, admitting to dentures, but I would like some information from 'others' who have been there. Last weekend diving really irritated my upper lip because of the mask resting at the top of my denture. My regulator mouthpiece prevented the mask from coming lower...

    Cannot see attachments in threads...

    OK, since the "Ignoring Forum" issue was so easy, I have another one. I cannot see the attachments in the threads. There are placeholders that say "thumbnails attached" with a rectangle frame but nothing in them. Not to slant your analysis, but this is probably something on my side. Thanks...

    Ignoring forums ...

    Hi guys (and maybe gals), great job on the upgrade; Thanks. Is there a way to ignore certain forums? I thought that there used to be but if it is still available, I cannot find it. Randy

    Retract a thread

    I have a thread that is so not needed. It is the Cruise Ship to Cozumel in August and there is already so much info out there about this. Is there a retract tool or something for this? Randy

    Cozumel in August on Carnival

    This has probably been asked a million times, but not by me! Going on a family cruise in August and I don't want to miss a chace to dive at Cozumel. This is our first time there and my first dive in something other than a river or quarry. I would rather not be herded off the ship since I am...

    Diving Magazines

    My subscription to SportsDiver magazine is about to expire and it is not what I really wanted/expected. There is more sale and photos than how-to articles. Not that these are bad, it just doesn't balance the apple cart with information that would be useful to landlock amateur divers, speaking...

    Good diving magazine, recommendations?

    I have a brother that is showing an interest in diving and I want to encourage him in every way. I want to send him a subscription to a good magazine that would also be encouraging. What would be a good one that targets rec diving. He is not a world traveller. thanks, Randy

    Why soak?

    I have seen posts and heard other divers talking about going home and soaking their equipment in the tub or some other apparatus after a dive. Some have even built some elaborate devices for the soaking. In my mind, I can see why soaking after a salt water dive would serve a purpose, but...

    Becoming certified for servicing regs

    Should someone want to be able to service their own equipment, like regulators, where do they go to get the proper training. Not to take it on as a business, just to know how to insure your own equipment is always safe and ready to use. Knowledge is a good thing! Randy

    Handheld Garmin GPS as a dive accessory?

    I would like find a way to take my GPS diving with me. I use it all the time for navigating when I am fishing and I think that it would be really handy if/when I dive the river with the limited viz, or anywhere else that you may want to find your way back to an anchor line or some other entry...

    Diving around dams?

    I've heard and read that people do this! How do you safely dive around a dam? Do you dive below the dam? The water is quite fast at the dams that I know. I shudder to think about diving above the dam. Maybe I just don't understand how everything works. Any comments, there are two dams that...

    Tennessee River - Hunstville Diving ??

    Has/does anyone know much about diving the Tennessee River (Guntersville, Decatur, Shoals area)? I spend a lot of time on the river with my pontoon and would like to try to use ti to dive also. Some areas seem relatively clear but I would much prefer to go with a group that may do this...
