WVDiver:Off to Florida for a few days of diving. See you when I return. Will have report. Welcome aboard guzzidude, I'm in Elkins.
RAD Diver:Cool looks as if some local (to me Va. Beach)divers out there. I will definatly be looking to buddy up. I have the bad distinction of always getting stuck with someone diving an alum 80 on air to our wrecks at 100+ fsw. I dont mind being with all types of divers but I hate to call my dive when my buddy is OOA.I usually get them back to the line & stay down for a few minutes, but my wife (who dives) does NOT like me to do it. I am getting into doubles now so I will be redundant & will make her feel better.
BobbyT22:Ouch, I could easily see myself in the near future as one of the alum 80 offenders you describe. Gotta start somewhere, though. The hard part is I have limited resources, both time and money, I feel that those resouces are better spent diving what I have (i.e. wetsuit, single alum tank) than on more gear or cert courses. For now. when I can, I want to dive. At some point I see I will have to upgrade (doubles, drysuit, etc)if I want to get serious about local diving, but for now I just want to get wet and some experience under my belt. I've got the itch bad! So, next time someone doesn't mind a newbie tagging along, invite me! So much info out there, it is overwhelming. I wish access to the water was as easy as access to a keyboard.
Oh, YEAH, that's the truth!RAD Diver:I have to warn you that once you use steel going back to alum will be tough.
