    So, this just happened

    Missed the local IE in September, due to a trip. So, took a nice long drive down to Lake Pleasant to take my IE this past weekend. Stressed a bit about some of the testing, but did very well.

    Pony bottle...fill question

    Picked up a 6cu pony bottle and reg yesterday. For the price, I couldn't pass it up. The tank has a standard yoke valve. The question I have is, is there a yoke to yoke fill adapter out there, so I can fill it from one of my 80s? I figure that this little tank will be suitable for shallow...

    Using a long hose primary while teaching OW??

    While I have not used the method prior, I see the benefits of a long primary hose, and utilizing the S-Drill. However, I can't help but wonder if this would confuse new OW students. I'm going to be teaching for PADI, and of course have to teach to their standards. As far as I can tell, so far...

    Anyone use some sort of VA benefits for PSD training?

    I was looking at PADI's Pro site, and noted their PSD training. I'm very interested in taking the courses next year, but wondering if anyone might have some knowledge about getting the VA to pay for this via vocational training, or something along these lines.

    Bag recommendation for bottom combing, and any other recommendations

    Good morning folks, A few friends and I are planning a dive to a local lake to do some bottom combing. This'll be a first for a few of us. Just going to see if we can find any good objects, log some dives, and have fun. Wondering if there is a good bag idea for bringing up small objects. I was...

    Hollowfill for drysuit undergarment?

    Taking my Drysuit specialty this week, and looking for options for undergarments. One thing that I do have already are a hollowfill pants and jacket. Very lightweight, great insulating properties. They'd easily crush down under a drysuit. In particular, what I have is the military Extreme Cold...

    A diving milestone weekend

    Spent the weekend at Blue Hole, NM diving. Completed my Divemaster candidacy on Saturday, and yesterday I finished 3 more specialties, and will get the Master Scuba Diver rating. And the final milestone, I made dive #100! Wasn't going to bother with the MSD rating, but it looks good to...

    Looking at a couple of used tanks; help needed

    Someone local has some very old equipment that they're selling. I really don't want a 40 year old wetsuit, and an ancient horse collar... However, they have a pair of tanks for sale. I've bought a couple of used AL80s before, but not steel. They're both 3AA, so chrome-molybdenum steel. One...

    Intro to Tech, to make a better Rec?

    After a lot of reading here, I think my thought process might be sound. I'm considering taking an Intro to Tech, primarily to make me a better recreational diver. I will never dive caves, or serious wreck penetrations. Chances are I'll never use a CCR. But what I want to do is perfect my trim...

    Anyone dive the Denver Aquarium?

    The wife is treating me to a dive at the Denver Aquarium this weekend. I signed up for the shark dive, but she said that she saw some reviews that said that there are only a small number of sharks. I'm wondering if I might find the other dive, with the fish and turtles, more enjoyable. Just...

    Interested in some Public Safety training, but have a concern

    Since I've gotten into the VA dive program at my LDS, I've thought that I would really like to look at the possibility of being a Public Safety Diver. I'd be interested in learning what sort of training is out there. However, here is my concern. Five years ago, I pretty well destroyed my left...

    Alright, why can't I trim full horizontal? Tips?

    I'm at 65 dives now, and doing far better than when I started. But for the life of me, it seems like I'm still a little heads-up. I'm getting better at dropping weight, but I'm wondering if it might be more of a weight placement thing? I usually put bulk of the weight in the weight pockets, and...

    Seawing Nova, or Nova Gorillas?

    A few weeks ago, I had a chance to try both the regular Seawing Nova, and then a few days later, the Nova Gorillas. Only a few minutes with the Novas, and one dive with the Gorillas. Both have substantially more power than my old crappy fins, but I didn't have enough time with both to form a...

    Completed my Advanced OW over the weekend

    Spent the weekend at Blue Hole, NM, and completed my Advanced. Other than the wife being home, and sick while I was away, it was a good trip. One Marine Vet, and an Active Duty Army student in the class with me. Made for very comfortable, and conscientious dive buddies. We're all doing the VA...
