Great. Nothing we like better than off-roading in a prius to off-the-beaten path dive sites in the lake....we'll see you & Jen there Sunday Rob. A prius, however, you can drive in a HOV lane all by yourself and not get a ticket since it's a hybrid. Not so much for hauling dive gear but much...

Was at the lake today (3/21). Dove off the west end past the 10-lane boat ramp. Viz was 30 - 40 feet (best I've ever seen in the lake) and water temp was about 60. Thermocline @ 40 feet where it got chilly but not cold (I was in a 7 mil with a 5 mil core /hood and I tend to be cold no matter...

Rob said: It appears that Scuba Sciences has made an effort over the past few weeks to refrain from posting for one reason or another. Whatever it is, let's just drop it. Maybe a MOD can close this thread since it's purpose has been served. I think yoginidiver would agree and approve...

Wow. Can I just chime in and say back in October of 2006 when I originally asked about advanced training I had no hidden motives to bash any store in the valley. I found the AZ forum of Scuba Board and a collection of very nice people who knew more about diving than my husband and I did. So I...

Thanks, John. Seems like lots of exciting changes happening at your shop - looking forward to seeing it when it's all finished! Brandon's got a thing next saturday but if you're going to be up there sunday let us know and perhaps we can swing a dive or two.

Ultimately we (my husband, ITDIVER and I) decided that Rob & Jen’s format (Southwest Scuba AKA Dive-aholic) was the best for us for our next step in our diving education. Their class format gave us the time and flexibility we needed and they have been really wonderful to train with. Just a...

Yes, I'll attest to seeing the 3' long catfish Rob speaks of.... it's not just a fish tale. It was a REALLY big catfish and I think it was trying to eat me for dinner. Beware, divers, Lake Plesant is full of man-eating catfish. (Just trying to see what kinds of rumors I can get started...)

Congrats on the cert, Ben! Brandon and I did the first portion of our AOW with Rob and Jen this weekend and we learned a ton and had a great time. The semi-private format of their classes really suits us. The 50 degree water, however, leaves something to be deisred, though to be fair that's not...

We're looking forward to it. Not so much forward to the cold water...but the experience overall. I'll try to keep my "but it's so cold" whining to a minimum.

Welcome to Phoenix, Chicagoland's biggest, most western suburb. My godparents live in Riverside, my parents are from the west side and Brandon & I lived a block north of merchandise mart till we moved here 2 years ago. We'd love to dive some of the wrecks in Lake Michigan when I get more...

The nps.gov website says one can obtain a permit to dive the B29...anyone know what's involved in obtaining said permit? Is it legit or just jargon for an immeasurable amount of red tape? http://www.nps.gov/archive/lame/05-004.html What could a WWII B29 have that could still be classified...

OK so Rob's a little more direct than I am. :)

Too bad I don't live in So Cal. Make the most of what ya got I guess.

Wow, look at all the new members on the board in the last few weeks! How great - some promise for continued lively discussion here on the AZ board. Scuba Specialties is the shop I got my OW cert and my gear from. My husband and I both dive and we've been there dozens of times (and thousands of...

Hey Ron, No fair teasing! We were at the same spot just a few weeks before you! Would love to go back...warm water, unlimited viz, beautiful fish and did I mention warm water? But Saturday we'll be at Plesant with our 7 mils and core warmers and hoods and gloves and I'll be cold because I'm...

For those asking about a specific series of postures....all I can tell you is that it depends on what's going on specifically in your body; how your architecture is and how you carry yourself around the planet. Go try a few classes and see what works for you - and beware of anything that is...

I was gonna say somethin' but I changed my mind.

I'm an RYT 500 (registered yoga teacher) and diver and the two go hand and hand - but moreso in the mental realm than the physical one - at least in my experience. True, once you've opened your body to the point you're in full kaptoasana, your shoulders will be free and finding that lost reg...

Just a quick thanks to Rob for setting this up - it was a good time!

So I realized tonight that I've only ever done shore dives at the lake and only from the county side. Where exactly might I find this boat on Saturday?
