    Question Updated "Dutch Springs replacement" thread...

    Apologies for resurrecting this tired question, but it seems that the majority of responses on here have become outdated. Many of the suggested sites (and even external "directory" sites) include locations that no longer exist or that no longer offer rec diving. Prior to its sale, my girls & I...

    Mystery ear pain

    Greetings, My [now] 16-year-old daughter got her ow certification last August. She logged another 9 dives since her checkouts, all of which were in the same freshwater quarry she certified in (the point being she is a very new diver and with just under 50 dives myself I don't have an abundance...

    Beyond Blue

    Not sure if there's really an appropriate forum for this, but any divers with a gaming console or Apple TV should check this game out! I'm 45, and in no way a "gamer" (nor have I ever been). I discovered this accidentally while browsing the app store and just took a "what the heck" shot at it...

    Pony tank thoughts/advice?

    Good morning all! Relatively new (<50 dives) diver here... purchased a few used tanks earlier this year, one of which was an older 19cf pony. It was sort of a bonus add-on to the sale, as it's significantly older and was out of hydro. It just came back from hydro/viz this week, and I'm just...

    Tiny, shrimp-like "cling-ons"?

    Greetings! I've been wondering exactly what these critters are, but only now realized this sub-forum existed! These guys were found about 8mi off the coast of Nags Head, NC at the "Advance II (AR145)" wreck. The dive was down to 78', but I can't say exactly where we picked these guys up...

    Looking to learn from my mistake...

    Greetings! I'm a relatively new diver - I've been certified for 4 years, but sadly my schedule and budget do not allow me to get out nearly as much as I'd like! I was able to squeeze in a beach dive this past weekend. It was the first time ocean diving from shore for both my daughter & I...

    Half moon caye coordinates?

    Greetings! I was lucky enough to spend Christmas day diving the Belizean reef! The two sites we visited were "The Playground" and "Mini Elbow".... I'm having a heck of a time finding coordinates for either. Does anyone have any suggestions or resources for mapping these spots...

    Roanoke Island Outfitters - Matteo, NC

    https://roanokeislandoutfittersanddivecenter.com Just chartered a wreck dive this past Tuesday (6/25) with ROI, and was completely impressed with the entire experience - from booking to docking. It's a tiny shop with less than half a dozen on staff, but everyone I dealt with could not have...

    Very happy with my new reg... should I be???

    I suppose this is really just new diver curiosity, as I'm still feeling out the reasonable thresholds of being "thrifty" when it comes to life-supporting gear... My daughter & I certified together a few years ago, and since then we've been slowly assembling our own gear collections. With my...

    Any advice for first wetsuit purchase?

    Greetings! After obtaining our NAUI ow certs a few years back, my daughter & opted to "slowly" assemble our gear collection bit by bit as opposed to purchasing pre-assembled bundles. Admittedly, this was more a budgetary limitation than a strategic choice lol, but in retrospect, I'm happy and...

    Printable log sheets

    Greetings, Just hoping to contribute a little something if I can - I hate to be the guy constantly "mooching" info and advice without giving anything back to the community... I created this log sheet based on components I admired from various templates and originals I've used. It's pretty...

    "Uncharted" Diving?

    Greetings, everyone - new member & first post here, looks like a great community! My daughter and I are new divers, NAUI certified in 2017 with just 8 dives logged each. We're both absolutely in love with it... the only downside being that our schedule just doesn't quite allow for us to get...
