I will be taking a group of 5 to Playa Del Carmen in July. Which operation is the best (safety/pricing)? Thanks. Jo

I haven't been to BH in a while. I was waiting to take a class there untill it warmed up a little and we could go to Perch a little more comfortable. Anyone know what the temp in Perch is now? What's going on with BH? I saw some of you might be there on the 18th. I might see you there...

I was in Mexico (Playa Del Carmen) about 3 weeks ago simply hovering watching a school of Barracuda swim by. There were several people in our group. We were all together just hanging out on a nice drift dive. All of the sudden something that felt like a million little needles burned into my...

I'm looking for a fun dive/road trip. I have two kids that need to have a little fun too. Where's a good place to go and maybe camp out with kids? I've never really been anywhere in Texas (freshwater) except Balmorhea. Suggestions? Thanx!:blinking: Jo

Anyone know of some descent diving in the Taos, Red River, Angel Fire area? I know there is Eagel's Nest Lake there. Anyone know about that one? Suggestions? Thanks! Jo

I don't know ANYTHING about spearfishing. I've never even seen one till now. My Dad just gave me an OLD.....what he called an "Hawaiian sling." What do I need to know about it? Where can I learn a few spearfishing tips? What do I need to find out or practice before trying it out? Thanks. Jo

I called Blue Hole (Santa Rosa, NM) to make sure they were gonna be open this weekend (Ap 15) and they will be but they told me that the state police just dredged up the bottom again and that visibility was bad. First of all, why do they keep doing this? Second, does anyone know how long it...

Does anyone know why only Texas has a seperate DM application? What is the purpose and why doesn't anyone else have to do it? Just wonder'in. :huh: Jo

I just purchased my first BP/W and tried it out this weekend. It has a large (75#) wing on it. Yes, I know it is too big for me (I dive singles), but I got it cheap and am using it for now. It came with some "bungee straps" that go around the wing. They are easily taken off and on. I know...

I just finished up my DM course/intern. I am needing my card quick so I can sign up for my IDC (they are running a special through March 14). I know sending off for a DM card is a little different then "regular" cards. Lots of paperwork, signatures, verifications, etc. Anyway.... my question...

I need a Texas road trip. I'm in Lubbock and Balmorhea and Santa Rosa (Blue Hole) are getting a little monotonous. I'll travel as far as Dallas or SanAntonio, but don't want to go much further. Where is a good place that's easy to find? And the warmer the water the better. (I froze last...

I just ordered this... I really know NOTHING about BP/W's. I was told on my other tread (How does this look for a setup) that it was a pretty good deal for $200. I took the plunge and ordered it. What else do I need to get? Is this single threading? What kind of weights will I need with...

I know a few of us will be at Balmorhea March 4-5. Just thought I'de see if anyone else will be there. I've tried to set up to meet with scubaboarders there twice and missed them both times. Maybe this time..... Jo:14:

I just found this setup for $200. I've looked into getting a bpw setup a little but thought this sounded like a killer deal. What am I missing here??? Weight Integration - 30 lb capacity (20 lbs Diver releasable - 10 lbs non-diver releasable trim weights for improved weight distribution...

Ok, I'm gonna try again to meet some Scubaboarder's at Balmorhea. Last time was a flop. I'll be there March 4-5th. I will not be working this time, so will have lots more free time. We have a big group going. We usually set up beside the high diving board, but it was blocked off last time...

I know of a couple of us that will be at the Blue Hole this weekend. It's supposed to be really cold and maybe even snowing...right? I'm diving with a wetsuit cuz I'm working a class full of wetsuiters.....how can I stay warm? Anyone know of any tricks? I'll sure be using DandyDon's trick of...

I have one more pool session and one more skill to do to finish up my DM class. I have to do the underwater equipment exchange. This doesn't seem like it will be hard but my instructor said it is the most challenging of all the skills. Does anyone have any tips for me? The mask and fins swap...

Gonna be at the hole Feb 11. I'll be with a class, but would still like to make a dive or two with you scubaboarders. Anyone gonna be there then? Jo

We are going to Possum Kingdom in March. I've been there but haven't gone diving there. What part is the best for diving. How deep is it and what is the visibility like? Any cool things to see there? Thanks for the info...:D
