    Hi. Again!

    Thanks! I'll let yall know how it goes. What a great way to get back into diving, although I'll probably be a bit spoiled...

    Hi. Again!

    It's been 5 years since I posted here and almost 4 years since I've been diving. Sad but true. Life happened. Actually I did a guided dive/skills review at Blue Heron a few days ago to get reacquainted with my gear and the water. I'm an old fart who only got certified in 2017. I have about 60...

    Hi all. I really enjoyed the spring gathering and have been planning on this one since. Unfortunately I don't think I'll make it. Been on the road working for six months and won't be back in time...:tired: Be fun and have safe!

    Wetsuit size related to thickness

    I've only bought two suits, a Bare Reactive 5mm and a Lavacore full suit. I'm 5'7" and 150 pounds. The Lavacore is a small and fits well according to their size chart. I first bought a small Reactive based on their sizing chart but when I wore it a bit longer at home I realized it was way too...

    Tough choice: $ummer job in NY (near Lake George) vs. regular job in FL

    Yeah, so this was a tough one. Lots of pros and a few significant cons to the summer position. Hearing great things about diving NY would have made it an easier decision, but the fact that there is at least some interesting diving nearby is enough to rationalize throwing my hat in the ring for...

    Tough choice: $ummer job in NY (near Lake George) vs. regular job in FL

    Well I guess that's what I get for soliciting opinions from anonymous strangers on the internet.

    Tough choice: $ummer job in NY (near Lake George) vs. regular job in FL

    Thanks for the replies. I'm a freelance catering chef. I've lived in FL most of my adult life and the work here will actually pay more on an hourly basis and be easier. I can gross more and improve my resume a bit with the summer gig at a camp in NY where I won't have much free time. On the...

    Tough choice: $ummer job in NY (near Lake George) vs. regular job in FL

    I can work a good paying summer job in Hunter NY that would be good for my resume from early May through mid September. Thing is I'll miss all of the nice diving in FL which I've been looking forward to. Lake George looks nice, but at home I'm surrounded by crystal clear springs and only a few...

    bladder washout idea

    In case anyone wonders why I want to keep my bladder clean inside, I usually suck the air out before entering the water from a boat. I dive a 5mm suit pretty often, and it's a tight fitting one (Bare Reactive). It's so tight that the air trapped in my suit takes a long time to purge and I end...

    Have you tried a washout hose like the one I have? Just wondering how they compare. BC Washout Hose by XS Scuba

    Glad to help Mara. It was fun helping set up a tent that's bigger than some houses! See you in October!

    bladder washout idea

    I'm on city water but point taken. Since I've learned that this isn't a good method for cleaning a BC I've abandoned it. I think I made some good points though and its good to consider that the resources we use (waste?) on diving is basically selfish. I'm willing to bet that I use/waste less...
