I am new to this whole scuba concept

[ronbeau]

How long does a tank last?? When underwater should I breath as I do on land or should I try to conserve air?? With this small bit of information can you tell me anything?? My wife is about half the size of me does this mean she can stay down longer?? And how long is long.

You might want to fill out your ScubaBoard profile since it helps people trying to answer your questions.

Have you and your wife taken a SCUBA certification course yet? If not these questions and more will be answered during your certification course.

Not that any of this belongs in this thread but:

It doesn't bother me who it pisses off. Personally, I think the only real way to have peace is through some form or act of war/violence.

for those who think size matters: my 90 pound son goes through an al-80 faster than i do. experience makes a HUGE difference.

on the hi-jack:

I don't care who it pisses off either. this country is great because we kick ass; before dec 7, 1941 we were not a super power, now we are. we did not ask for pearl, nor did we ask for 9/11.
