Re: Relaxing advise

As soon as I get in the water, I dunk my face in it. I take this a little further and test breath both my regs at the surface with my mask off before I dive. Beyond function checking my regs this helps me get comfortable in the water and gets me used to having my mask off. I tried this yesterday an...

Re: Relaxing advise

With regards to the rapid heart rate/high arousal state at the beginning of a dive . . . it took me hundreds of dives before that went away, and in a new location or with new challenges, I still feel that way. The day you stop being a teensy bit apprehensive about your dive is the day you enter int...

Re: Relaxing advise

Thanks for the advise! It is reply good to know I'm not experiencing something super weird on the anxiety camp, I just haven't heard anyone talk about it ;-) For navigation I totally agree, I try to pay close attention on all dives to the little things that can help me find my way. Being underwater ...

Re: Planning Salt Creek Park dive Sat 9/11, information need

I'll be on the Lake Crescent group on Sunday, I dove there a few weeks ago and the environment plus the super clear water makes it worth the drive IMHO :).

I'm really looking forward on meeting new divers as I'm trying to dive more often!

Re: Trojans?

Agreed with spudgunman. Also a quick search online revealed the same issue being reported by other people so you should be fine (And since it is online it MUST be true right? ;-)) . Interesting to learn that Adobe bridge uses opera to display web content... there is something to be learned every day...
