Anybody have anything new to recommend?

Dive x-tras had a demo video where their scooting around in monterey on stage rigs.
Ben and Andy were calling it "monkey diving" they were giving them away at the long beach scuba show. I believe it was a demo dvd for their new shift on the fly transmission. If you ask them nice, they'll probably give you one for free.

5thd-x also has a line of videos that have all the dir skills broken down to a simple understandable format.
I believe there titled:
A)Essentials
B)Intro to tech
C)Technical 1 & 2

.... Don't you have a bathtub?

Geez, man.

Those bathtubes get pretty cramped once you start dropping stage bottles. The toilet makes a great openwater tie off though.

Got a copy of "Dress for Success" from GUE's website, about 3 wks ago. Arrived within 3 days...

It's not exactly reading, or "DIR" but I just enjoyed a DVD called "Facing Darkness" about cave diving in Florida and Mexico.

Do you know where one could buy this video? I looked on Amazon: no dice. Same was true with a Google search.

Well, the website is www.facingdarkness.com, although it doesn't say anything about the film being purchasable. But you could contact them and ask.

It was definitely (for me) worth a watch.

EDIT:
Go here

and click on the Paypal link (it actually goes to the purchase page, not the Paypal homepage that the link looks like)

you can buy it here: http://www.facingdarkness.com/cadrea.html
Go to the "shop online" area.

Leisurepro also sells it, but it's $4 more from them

Looks like they did a nice job producing it by the preview.

Awesome. Thanks a bunch. (duh - I should have typed in just "facing darkness" instead of "facing darkness movie")

Hollywoodivers has Dressed for Success in stock. If it's not listed on their website (where they do mail order) give them a call and order it over the phone.
