    Conditions for a First Stage freeze?

    Hi - So I did my first sub-40F dive today (39, but hey, that counts!) Anyway, I was massively impressed with my old Sherwood Brut in its ability to do its job and not freeze. My understanding is freeze ups can happen <45F and it is exascerbated by heavy breathing. Since my unsealed, unbalanced...

    looking for a friend

    Hey - I'd like to get in contact with Marc from PG. I moved to Indiana last June, expecting to see him when I came back to visit (read: dive) this summer. Anyway, I'm hoping that one of yall could link me up with him. I just want to say hi to a friend. I'm not a punk looking to fix a bad sale or...

    a friend trying to contact Marc from PG

    Hey - If anybody could help me get in contact with Marc from PG, I'd appreciate it. I was a loyal customer from 06-08, and I went to Cozumel with Marc. I understand that Marc is the kinda guy that appreciates his privacy, but if any of you are in contact with him, please say Brett says hi, or PM...

    Up for a dive? Bloomington IN area

    Hello Heartland Divers! Just looking again to find any willing dive buddies to join me on a dive. Sure, its colder, but think of it as a way to enjoy the fall foliage as you drive to the dive site! With enough warning, I can be free almost any weekend. My experience: Only been in a quarry...

    Just moved to Bloomington, IN / Hello!

    Hello everybody. As per the title, I just moved to Bloomington, IN. I just wanted to drop by this forum and introduce myself and hopefully get to meet some new dive buddies. A little about myself - I'm a few dives shy of 100. Of those, ~50 were shore dives in New England (water temp ~50-55F...

    Webbing type for Harness

    I'm in my third season with my current harness webbing, and its starting to look a little threadbare. Plus, its a snug fit ever since I switched over to diving dry (and gained a few lbs, hehe). Eitherway, I'd like to replace it. My current webbing is weight belt style... ie stiff and impossible...

    Great trip with Scuba Mau

    I just got back yesterday from a wonderful, weeklong dive trip in Cozumel. The shop we used was Scuba Mau, and I have nothing but good things to say about them! They're a new (~3 months) shop, but the divemasters were incredibly experienced (and entertaining). Mau and Opal were usually by the...

    Where do you mount your Sensus?

    Hey everybody, I posted a while back about buying a Sensus... and to make a short story shorter, mine arrived yesterday. I got it uplinked to my computer through USB (though I must complain... I had to, via trial and error, determine the link was through "COM4"... hopefully this will be...

    Favorite training spots?

    I had my first Hathaway's Pond dive today (first dive on my dry suit). I'm going to need another dive or two in calm water before I'm comfortable diving my suit in open ocean. So I'm wondering... what other good training spots are there? The only three I can think of are Hathaway's Pond, Long...

    A few drysuit diving questions

    So I finally took my new suit (Evo2) to the pond for my first dry dive... and I ran into a few problems. First - venting technique. Any tips here? I found myself rolling too much when I'd lift my arm. I sense this is because I'm turning my head to make sure its venting (it vents slow enough...

    Reefnet Sensus Ultra

    I'm thinking about picking up a Sensus Ultra (ReefNet Inc. | Solving problems with deep thinking), and I'm hoping for some opinions. I dive with a bottom timer and follow the tables (supplementing with nitrox when appropriate), and I really don't plan on moving to a computer (99% of dives are...

    Almost to deco... your first time?

    So I'm just about there... I'm getting a dry suit... going to start getting the hang of doubles... and once I've got dive #100, I'll start shopping for a tech instructor (of whom, I've been trained by one and know another at the LDS). I might not make it into a class this season (wait a...

    Ease of banding/manifolding tanks?

    Hey all, I'm thinking of giving doubles a try this coming season. I've had two seasons with my bp/w and am very familiar with all the local sites. I may be switching to a dry suit this season, so I figure the redundant buoyancy is an opportunity to experiment with doubles. At the moment, I was...

    Nearest diving to Bloomington, IN?

    So... I'm going to be moving soon (going back to school). Right now, its looking like Ann Arbor MI or Bloomington IN. I'm assuming southern Indiana diving is mostly quarries? Anything interesting? How far would one have to drive to get some dives in? Any info you all can get me would be...

    Nearest diving to Ann Arbor?

    So... I'm going to be moving soon (going back to school). Right now, its looking like Ann Arbor MI or Bloomington IN. I've heard about some good wrecks in the Great Lakes, but I'm wondering... how far away would one have to drive in order to get some dives in from Ann Arbor? Also, are we...

    local Sherwood service in Boston

    Hey everybody, Anybody know of a shop in the Boston area that services Sherwood regs in-house? PG will ship 'em off somewhere to get it done, but I like to meet the wrench who services my toys! I'd also like to see if I could pick up a yoke conversion kit. Thanks! Brett

    Salt Island -- how long of a swim?

    I went diving at Good Harbor Beach this weekend in Gloucester... swam out to Salt Island. Man oh man, what a swim! It took us about 15-20 minutes to get out to the island, and that was going at a good clip. Does anybody know a number on just how far off shore Salt Island is at high tide? It...
