I watched the sinking of the Big O on the Discovery Channel wandering if anyone else got the chance to see it as well. Was interesting but was to short to cover alot of the good stuff. It showed the sinking and then had a small bit of the divers down after it sank. It did show a diver that...

Diving in my old stomping grounds. I haven't dove there before but might think about it the next time I am down there. Sounds like you have had your run of bad luck for the year and now its time for the good times. Take care and C U in the depths. Tatakai

I am taking a Swimming Fitness class here at University of TN, to be a better swimmer and be able to do those test next year hopefully a little easier. I have to admit everything I know about swimming is self taught. I have never had any lessons from anyone or been shown anything. This is...

The quarry that I will be at is Philidelphia Quarry off of I 75 south. $10 a day to dive 78 feet deep, so far it is a nice place to dive. I will be exploring another quarry that is close to this one that the guy I bought my reg from dives at. The next month I plan on diving for fun and then...

Looks like I will be getting DAN very soon. From reading all the post so far it seems like it should be something that I should have. I have only been diving since Febuary of this year and guess I have been lucky that I didn't need it. I know that the chance it rare but better be safe than...

Have two dives planned for this coming summer that are big ones. We are planning on diving the Great Barrier Reef, then we are going to Roatan and Belize. We are looking at diving Bonaire if we can work it in. I have been diving at the local quarries since Feburary almost every other weekend...

Well things are moving along faster than I thought they would. I got my C card for Nitrox today and I will be doing my AOW check off dives on Sunday. I can't wait to get that one done and move on to Rescue. I was hoping to have it completed by October but ti looks like it will be next spring...

Wanted to ask if anyone has used or has any hands on experience with this watch/computer? I have been looking at it and wanted to see if it would be something that is usable for a beginning diver. Thanks Tatakai

I called and talked to a very nice lady at DAN. This is what I was told and I can understand what she said, to me it seems overboard in my case but for other types of breaks it is the right thing in my opinion. I was told that if the wrist was in a cast that I can't dive at all until after...

I fell last Sunday and broke my wrist on my right arm. Wanted to ask about diving and how soon. The doc said that it was only a hairline crack on the radial bone. I didn't think that it would affect me but was told by another that I can't dive with it. The dive that is planned is in two...

I have cable and it is the samething. There are times that the site won't load at all. Still can't see the gallery most of the time. So with netdog's post I will have to wait like he said. Hope it won't be to long though. Tatakai

I have two boys that are interested in diving. The oldest is 9 and his mom can't wait to get him diving so he can go with us. The youngest is 7 and loves being in the pool snorkling around but hates a reg for now. Something for us to think about I guess. Wish that there were more information...

Going to pass this on to my DM on Thursday night. Thanks for posting this. Tatakai

WOW!!! I didn't know that I would get this kind of response on this topic. I want to let you know that my MAX is going to always be 1.4 and not go over that. From what I was told in class that at greater than the 1.6 your chance of a problem is almost certain for O2 Toxicity. I have just...

I finished up my class training the other day and I am going to do the dives next weekend. Going through the class my DM said that we use the 1.4 as our MOD and 1.6 is our COD. I understand that and can agree to the safety margin of using the 1.4. This is a PADI course as you might have...

Well went to the mail box today in this heat and found something cool. It was the PADI Diving Society card and membership book. Glad I got it and that I will be getting the magazine, BUT I have a question about it. I didn't know that I ordered it at all. So now that I have it what all is it...

Lets be honest about it we dive to escape a world that has become polluted and full of worries and stress. Going to the depths is our way of escaping and finding peace with ourselves and with nature. I dive to be free and fly even though it is through the water. I dive to see what is there...

Congrats doing my aow soon. tatakai

congrats I willl be taking the AOW very soon and can't wait. Good luck and safe diving. Tatakai
