First post***On a forum***Ever*** I'm relatively new to diving (under 25 dives), and forums haha, but I've fallen hard for it. I've gotten a few certs and done some trips for diving's sake, local and abroad. I love it, but I hate the rental gear. I like BPs and a streamlined setup, neither of...

Hello all! Joined this board to (hopefully) gain knowledge, and, to be honest, some confidence as I begin my journey to obtain my Open Water Certification. I just started the course yesterday. Aced the class portion, but when it came time for the pool dive, embarrassingly, and much to my own...

Heading to Socorro next year in May. Just wondering if I should pay the extra cost to use nitrox? I've read dives can be deep, so I dont want to be restricted, but if those dives are rare nitrox might be the better option. Any recommendations, advice or information at all would be appreciated.
