    Dumb question department... Dive Flags

    :confused: What is the generally accepted set up for a dive flag? I bought a flag Kit at Scuba Toys today with the inner tube, casing with of course... the dive flag. I'm assuming the tube should be tied off, lest it float (or blow) away... what's the general set up here? If there's nothing...

    MUST BLOW Bubbles...

    I think I'm getting inverted narcosis... I haven't blown bubbles since October and I simply can't wait until the spring thaw...:( I think I'm going to head to ScubaToys this week and find a 7mm wet suit and a stylish hood. Once I have that, I need to find some water... I'm still fairly new...

    Should I have been more afraid?

    Greetings. This is my first time to the dive board, although my dive buddy has talked about it since we started our confined water together. I got the dive itch in 2000 when I went on a PADI resort dive off the big Island of Hawaii. Green Turtles, moray's, an octopus that VANISHED in a cloud...
