    Sea World.... so much fun

    Wow. The best Orca encounter I had was up at Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC. We missed a birth by a few days, but saw the baby. If I had to come back as an animal it would be an Orca or some other aquatic mammal.

    Purge Poll?

    Hey Starfish, I have the Big Eyes as well. I pretty much bought them in a hurry because they were with a package deal. The cool thing about them, is that with the Big lenses, you can have a relatively substantial amount of water in there, and it's not going to get in your eyes unless you look...

    Breathing rate

    Howdy all, I had my first pool dive last night! Aside from my ear drum rupturing, I had a blast! One thing I'm curious about though, is breathing rate. Our instructor said to breathe normally. However, I found myself breathing shallow and a little quick. How deep are you supposed to be breathe...

    Greetings from a landlocked diver in Salt Lake

    This board looks like a great resource and I'm glad I found it!!! I had my first lesson and pool dive last night. I"m hooked, but I think I blew my eardrum, so I'm gonna have to stay on the shore for a few weeks. Anyway, just thought I'd say hola!
