    Great Lakes Diving - a cautionary tale

    This is for all you nice, but cw-clueless folks from warm water regions who come up to dive the Great Lakes. No sarcasm is intended, believe me - this was prompted by something that happened today to divers with many, many more dives than I have. It could have gone very, very badly (thought...

    Kingston June 14-15?

    And possibly part of 13th... Planning a shopping trip to Kingston (and/or Mallorytown) and want to do some shore diving with the results of said shopping afterwards. Anyone else planning to be there that weekend and want to dive? Nothing too evil - I'll have new gear. :D

    Diving and Blood Donation

    I've looked for solid information on this for some time with no real luck. Last year I got around it by not donating blood in "dive season" (ie I didn't donate if it was < 56 days before my next planned dive). This year the Blood Service in Canada is trying to stockpile blood now in...

    Rescue class equipment

    Let's see if I have this right... (I probably don't) In the end, this turns out to be about a photo CAPTION that's incorrect? Sheesh. I don't see why MHK felt he had to apologize to *anyone* for the fuss - HE didn't post the photo with that deceptive caption on the GUE site (it's down now...

    Anyone diving over the Easter weekend?

    I'll be in SW Ontario/TO from April 17th to 22nd (flying out late from Hamilton). Have to run a few errands in KW on the 17th, probably but... anyone want to dive? I'll be fairly mobile while there and I might even hava buddy (if he can be persuaded to dive that cold again so soon after...

    Thunder Bay diving

    There's a distinct possibility that I may be ditching my "honourary" freak status for the real thing sometime this spring - possible 1-year position in T-Bay. Now the important thing to consider when considering a new job is, of course, whether there's diving nearby:D What is there in and...

    Why SCUBA?

    Yes, technically, this is diving related and thus in the wrong forum. Activity on certain other threads is making me think we need a thread to talk about what we all have in common - not about our differences. So... why did you take up SCUBA diving and when? Highs and lows? Imagine we're all...

    "Hottest Gimp" award

    As you may have heard, there were a couple of skiing injuries over the weekend. Spectre and O-ring are hereby nominated for the dubious honour of being the "Hottest Gimp" on Scubaboard, with Spectre having a clear edge due to the extent of his injuries. :alright: How about the winner gets...

    Happy Birthday O-ring!

    in most N. American Time, zones, that is... Not including a cake and balloons here - he'd only take a whiffle bat to them. Now, let's see if Wreckwriter and ckharlan hijack *this* thread to talk about lollipops... (After all, it's only fair.) Let the trolling^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H games...

    Yet another tall female in search of a suit that fits

    Took a look at the other "tall female threads" but I think I need specific advice from others with similar body shape (tall when standing, average to short when sitting down) or others who might know what works for this shape. I'm shopping for a suit for cold water diving (7mm/7mm jane +...

    Greetings from Alberta

    Hello all. New to diving (SSI OW plus a couple of fall shore dives in Tobermory), old hand at almost everything else to do with water (water chemistry, water biology, water sports of various flavours). Got into SCUBA after years of cajoling by various friends (you know who you are - and...
