I say... Never underestimate progress. In 1920 Nobody thought of a weapon that could blow up an entire city... Now we have the capability to destroy 100x that with a single hydrogen bomb. But in 20 more years we developed the first nukes. And they say we are increasing at a technologically...

Sweet! Thanks. I think I'm going to do some Kayaking around the area today. Is BHDC a good choice for someone who just got their OW cert and wants to make some more dives? Where do they run out of? Thanks again -sam

Thanks for all your input! I'm joining a local dive society for the New England Aquarium, plus I've got a Marine Biology teacher who is a dive instructor. We wouldn't leave the boat unattended, of course. ITs a 40' passenger ferry and we've been running out of hingham for 30 years. I can't...

I have a boat and am familiar with the boston harbor islands... At least topside anyways. I remember one time when I was kayaking around Calf Island, I said hi to some divers who were doing tired/injured diver tows near the shore.

Hey and welcome to the world of SCUBA! I just got my certification this month, and I too wore contacts. What you're going to learn how to do is fill up your mask with water, and then blow out through your nose to 'clear' the water out of it. I was in water with a higher salinity then I'm...

My uncle and I just got our OW cert in the Florida Keys. We have 4 dives to our names- the ones with our instructor. We have a boat, so its easy to just pack up and hoot out to the outer harbor for some dives. Do you think it would be safe for two generally inexperienced divers to dive...

I just got my cert in Marathon this month. A few guys who were on the same charter while I was doing my checkout dives were talking about 'The Thunderbolt'. I think it was a lightning research vessel. Its at 120', so I couldn't dive it with my OW C-card. I'm sure I'll be back there ;) Its off...

As did I! Carry on.

I got my OW Cert! :beerchug: 4 dives in the most beautiful place I have been to. I dove with Captain Hooks out of Marathon, FL. I know it sounds like I'm some kind of tourist diver. but I've got the bug BAD. Right now I want to get all the training I can. And all the dive gear I...

I'm getting my PADI OW in the coming few weeks, and I was wondering what is worth checking out after I get my cert. I'm probably getting my certification with reef raiders in Key West becuase they offer free rentals on future dives if I get a cert with them. My oceanography teacher told me...

Microsoft powerpoint is a fairly useful tool as well.

Thanks again to all you guys (and gals?) I'm a sucker for shiny things, and I think I got sold on the atomic-vision ultraclears. I really want to go try em on at the LDS now. I kinda have a big nose so I hope that it won't get in the way too much. :D Thanks again -Sam

Thanks for your information bros ;)

From my experience swimming in my pool for the past few years, I can get away with contacts as long as I have a mask or goggles on at all times. If the lenses get wet, they start to dissolve and distort vision in one eye (which can be a PITA). I am not yet certified and am getting certified...

I live in New England (which get wickid cold:lol: ). I'm getting my vert in a couple weeks on a trip to the Keys (and I am planning on other dive vacations). Do you think its worth it to buy just a thick, warmer one, or would it be worth it to have two? I want to have fun, so I want to be...

AWESOME! Thanks for those names and testimonies. I will check out each one!

First off I want to say thanks to anyone who's helped me out before. This website has to be one of the most informative, mature, and well developed web forums I have visited. My deal is that my uncle and I are looking for something cool to do for the summer.(I'm 17 and starting my last year...

Thanks guys! I know its a long shot, but does anyone know Tom from Mass Divers in Natick? He was my science teacher last year (Best course all year ;))and mentioned being a PADI Instuctor to us. Always slipping subliminal diving messages into lectures.. By the way, thanks a lot to all of ya...
