    It's been a while (South Alabama)

    I've been out of the water for a while. Looking for someone in south Alabama or north Florida to dive with. Really want to get my feet wet again before the end of the year.

    Ear Hurting

    Did you have trouble equalizing at all when going down? Or back up? I'd say visit your normal doc and have him scope your ear. He should be able to tell if something is "off". It could be something as simple as blockage. Perhapse that ear doesn't equalize as easily as the other causing pain. It...

    Discovery show Dixie Divers

    It's a show about mussel divers in Tennessee. I think it was originally going to be a series but they only aired one special over a year and a half ago. All I have been able to find is a 2.5 minute promo, does anyone know where I can find the full episode?

    Two questions

    The suggestion so far have been spot on. I would suggest finding a prominent dive oraganization in your area. I'd also look at where you would like the diving to take you. If you want to do more technical diving in the future it may benifit you to start out with an organization that has...

    Water in ear ?

    Has anyone else heard of the possibility of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) causing hearing loss. I don't think it's all that common but from what I have read it is possible. I use ethyl alcohol for that reason. If you decide to use ethyl alcohol make sure it's not denatured. If you get...

    What do you think of Underwater Craft?

    Those are pretty sweet submersibles. Have you seen the one that Karl Stanley built? Her name is Idabel and while not as fast or deep as some of those she is beautiful. :: Underwater Tours in Deep Sea Submarine - Half Moon Bay, Roatan, Honduras

    M-1 or M-2 Mask?

    I just ordered a M2 the other day. I haven't had a chance to dive it yet but it fits well and is very comfortable. Plus I found it for $40 at scubatoys compared to the $90 at a lot of places, so that made me happy.

    Divers get sick from BP oil in Gulf of Mexico

    And these were scientific divers? It's horrible that they got sick, but they should have damn well known the risks of diving into oil and Corexit.

    Using a Glock to discourage sharks?

    Wow. This combines my top two hobbies into one. Pointless for sharks, but cool none the less.

    Anyone down for lake Martin?

    I think I'm going to have to cancel for tomorrow. I feel really horrible about it, but I've been throwing up all day today. I thought it was just mild food poisoning from some leftovers and figured I'd feel better by now, but I don't. I'd rather not have you drive all the way from tuscaloosa...

    Anyone down for lake Martin?

    Sounds good. Morrison was beautifull huh...I hate what the're doing to the place. As far as compass navigation I'm pretty good, a few of my dives so far have been in the lake with low vis though I have never been to this spot.
