I got two of those OMS dye markers and I put them in a sealed bag (one of those food storage machines that heat seals it) and i'm glad I did because when I got back to the surface my wifes bag was all green inside and mine was fine. So somehow the seal on hers broke (the cap) because the bottle...

You are 100% correct, I meant to write misrepresenting, I do apologize, I was very tired when I posted the original post, stupid mistake that shouldn't have happened, I hope it did not create any confusion. In regards to the rest of the post, I agree I have no religious or legal requirement...

I would normally agree, but we were in touch contact and I had no mask on, while my buddy did, so I was temporarily blind. I guess he saw something he liked, decided to turn around and without proper buoyancy I got a swift and powerful kick in the gut, then a fin in the face and shot up like a...

i think that in an overhead environment, having the right training is absolutely critical. Especially with lost buddy drills, lost line drills, etc. I definitely thing you are correct, you aren't responsible for everyone else. My concern was just a question of what it is I should do...

I know because this person was in my cavern class. The person in question did not complete the training that day, so I was also forced to call it off. I have been busy with work since then and my first available weekend i will be back in the water finishing it up. I do know on the other hand...

From what I have read here, the cave community does seem tight as was mentioned. I guess I was wondering if it was considered a civic duty or something along those lines to raise an alarm about something like that. It's unfortunate that people would misrepresent themselves when it comes to...

Sadly, Personal experience. I was thinking kind of the same thing. It seems to me that diving with someone who says they are cavern/cave certified and is not, could be an incredibly dangerous situation. As I am not certified for those environments I can only speak for open water situations...

I am not sure if this is in the right forum and if it is not, I do apologize. My question is simple, If you find someone misleading themselves about their level of training and certifications (either on the board or elsewhere) how do you handle that? If you are the only one who knows, do...

Also, just to add to your post. Kevlar is no insulation against a sharp object such as sharp teeth. If you are stabbed with a knife while wearing kevlar, its more than likely going right through. I would have an easier time believing it if the glove had holes in it. If it was kevlar...

This whole thread is pathetic. Bunch of vultures with nothing better to do than jump on someone trying to run their own business. I wonder if everyone here is going to go protest Ferrari for making cars that are just so expensive you have no use for them. I mean, holy cow, a pinto does the...

I'm definitely relearning which captains to trust, sometimes its hard with so many operators to choose from, you may be missing out on the great ones and not even know. Back then if I was on the boat with my gear on standing over the water, I was going the second the captain says the first...

Thanks everyone for the help. As predicted by everyone here, the Friday dives were scrubbed, boat didn't even leave the dock. Saturday the first dive went well, vis was about 50' or so, so nothing terrible, the current was incredibly strong though. Then it started raining like crazy (typical...

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. When I called I was told Sunday would be like glass out there, but we'll see. I really want to get in a night dive, but now with the vis being horrible if it is that bad. Thank you, that link will be very helpful.

Hey everyone, My wife and I are going to hopefully be going out diving tomorrow in pompano. It's her first open water dives (about 12 in springs though) and I was hoping to find out two things. 1-where to get some surf reports so I can find out what the wave heights are like out where we...

The ones I have are good until september and have the practice pen in it and instructions. I put it all in a clear pelican case that goes at the top of my dive bag and made sure my wife is well versed in its usage. I probably have to get a prescription to get more since my doctor only gave me...

I think I will have to check out that ARC mask. Right now we have an entry level camera and the options for adjusting color settings are sadly non existent :( We also tried loosening the straps and getting the hair out of the way. Our instructor was in the water with us and he tried...

Thanks, I'm gonna need it. With me just about any mask will work and be comfortable for the most part. My wife has a bit of leaking issue, went through three different masks before we found one that let it stop leaking on her. :(:( whats really weird is that all three passed the suction...

Within reason, money is not an issue when it comes to the dive gear I get for my wife and I. We figure, if we're gonna do it, no reason to dive with the wrong gear or not what is optimal for us :D:D We're also just starting into photography, but I really think the "red" mask would be my best...

so true I'm going to start out by saying im entirely neutral in this and I must say I find the level of animosity towards something like a set of fins leads me to wonder if a bunch of the posters that have never tried them but are bashing them is due to jealousy of not being able to afford...

After reading all this I have decided that maybe I will invest in a new mask as well. I am leaning towards the atomic aquatics frame less mask, but I would also like to consider the atomic aquatics ARC in their ultra clear mask. I guess my question is: 1-will that mask help me see all the...
