    Training & Clubs in the Charlotte Area

    Looking for a little bit of help and insight from the NC group. My brother lives about 30 minutes south of Charlotte and is thinking about taking up diving. He is just in the toying phase / research process. Does anyone have any recommendations of LDS in that area? Or should he push to the coast...

    ISO Buddy for Back Beach Rockport 6/13/09 AM.

    Mark, the one that I enjoy and I have only done it at night is Ft Wethrill. If you think Back Beach is easy... You should see the entry here. I park just by the boat ramp and walked straight in. Beautiful dive... I actually enjoy that dive more than the North Shore. If you think about it, you...

    ISO Buddy for Back Beach Rockport 6/13/09 AM.

    Mark, I would probably take you up on this but my equipment is currently being serviced. A couple of thoughts, might want to check out the dive clubs close to Worcester. There is Metro West Dive Club who meets in Framingham. They coordinate a Date at 8 and meet up at the BK in the Danvers area...

    PG Dive Closing

    Given the economy and such, I am not surprised. Paul and his crew will be missed. They offered a welcome change to some of the other shops in the area.

    Night Dive @ Ft Wetherill on Aug 20th

    I just got off the phone with DEM, they just said anything to illuminate the flag from cyalume stick to strobe light. I didn't matter to the desk sergant that was on the phone. He said the officers in the field are more concerned when the divers get into traffic areas. Either way, it looks like...

    Night Dive @ Ft Wetherill on Aug 20th

    Dive flag lit? Now that is definitely a new one to me. I am assuming they are just looking for a strobe to be tied to the bouy versus the flag. Or are they looking to have it tied off at the top of the shaft of the flag? Just curious as to how picky they may be. Mitchell, thanks for the...

    Night Dive @ Ft Wetherill on Aug 20th

    My wife and I are looking to do a night dive at Wetherill on Wednesday night. We normally head up to Cape Ann but don't feel like fighting the traffic in that direction. So, time to head south and have some fun in RI. It has been a few years since I was there. I know via the state website...

    Why do divers quit?

    Personally, I use to dive every other weekend a few years ago. My son is 17 months old, so diving is pretty well not even in the picture. It now revolves around the honey due list and playing with my son. Not complaining, but just can't wait to get him into diving.

    Pony tank makes me roll to the side -- how to fix?

    Evad, given the function of my pony is for emergency purposes only. If I am using my pony, I have already called the dive and heading for the surface. To your point, would the tank by 2 lbs positive when empty, yeah to a point. It has been awhile since checking the specs for my setup. If I am...

    Pony tank makes me roll to the side -- how to fix?

    Looking at the different comments, I actually took a similar approach but from a different perspective. Why add more weight? I just removed 2 lbs from my Zeagle Tech from the side I am mounting the pony bottle. Same affect just reducing the amount of weight you have to carry.

    Lobsters really are quite pretty

    Oh that is not something to even joke about. There is a diver who is with the Metro West Dive Club, she had that happen to her. Needless to say, neither the local police or the harbormaster would investigate. I forget how she did it but she got someone from the state to investigate. She just...

    MWDC presents Mike DeCamp and Gary Gentile

    The hotel may change the room at the last minute. If you are planning to attend, just check the monitor as soon as you enter the hotel for where the meeting room will be. I've actually walked into someone else's meeting that was in progress because the room had been changed.

    Moustache Solutions?

    I took the same route as Underachiever. I kept my mustache for a year after first being certified. Tried alot of the suggestions, even tried a different mask with no luck. Finally before a wreck diving trip decided to end my mustaches fuzzy existence. A leak at 40 feet it a pain.. a leak at 130...
