You will never go on a tropic dive because you won't get out of bed in time to catch the airplane.

I tried out a pair and the thrust is pretty good compared to the force used.

ya know what would be cool? in a group have a wireless transmitter that shows there air like red green blue or 1 2 3 and etc so the divemaster can monitor all there remaining air just by looking at his wrist, but heaven forbid if he or she mixed it up!

Oh, it's a chauvinism thing? Somebody's stuck in the 1950's, eh? My daughter is one of the best scuba divers I know, and one of the finest underwater photographer in our personal group. That group, incidentally, includes my wife, who, you may be surprised to know, is also a woman :thumbsup: And she...

Yesterday I did my first dive with the dry suit after it came back from the repair shop. I did start from scratch! I have been suffering from some mild back discomfort so my buddy had to do all the heavy lifting etc... With my stiff back and restricted mobility I tried to don the suit three times! ...

Huh?

or maybe she snorkels...? woops all the paint fumes are getting to me

yes they did tell us that. What i meant in shallow was, 10 or 8 ft of water (shallower than the pool which is 12) lol not 30 ft but ya you do make a fine point about the class (thats why i ask everyone and not just one old pro). I went thru ssi ow but right now im just beginning my tides and curren...

rue but i wouldn't plan on diving a wreck lol maybe somewhere shallow where if i mess up i wont be shooting to the surface upside down for hundreds of feet lol just don't hold your breath when you do cork, even if it's from only a few feet deep. lol as the instructor said every 5 seconds during tea...

150$ is a lot for a class though! I am thinking about just reading up on techniques and practicing. I'm a pretty quick learner! Learning skills from stuff you read on the internet. :thumb3d: (not the best plan) true but i wouldn't plan on diving a wreck lol maybe somewhere shallow where if i mess u...

I, too, am a fan of the BP/W setup. Before I started diving dry I had a new, hybrid jacket-style BCD w/integrated weight pockets. It was fine when I wore a wetsuit, and I liked it. However, the first time I tried putting it on over my drysuit, I was really uncomfortable. Not to mention I needed, li...

I've been diving a D6 for well over a year now, and I really like it. I don't use an undergarment, because the Neoprene suit is sufficient by itself, at least for me. I wear a 1mm Henderson dive skin under it just to keep the rubber off my skin and wick away some of my omnipresent sweat, and have y...

Ill keep that in mind! Can I wear long johns under...or do I have to buy the fancy underwear?

When in doubt, check size chart.... http://www.scuba.com/resources/sizechart/baredrysuit_nowomen.htm I checked but I weigh 150....and I'm 5ft 9. So I'm assuming menium should be fine? I talked to the guy and he said I should fit just fine. I wear a size small wetsuit but its a few inches shorter th...

Thanks! I thought it was a great buy considering the other prices out there and the original price brand new (1000ish) I am pretty much dumbfounded on drysuits and what would be best for me. I think I'm about the same size as h20 doc so medium should be fine!

http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/spo/1384956113.html is this a good buy? I am not familiar with drysuits at all
