Re: Redondo 12-3-2011 with video

Nicely done Mike.

I didn't realize how annoying a dive buddy's light can be when one is shooting video. Sorry dude.

Re: AOW Certification

Hey Scubnewb, How's it going? Its crazy how a simple innocent question can bring about so much.... I must first commend you on your desire to grow your scuba experience. I also think its commendable to want to share the experience with others by becoming an instructor yourself. Lets go for a dive or...

Re: Tolmie on Saturday

Yeah, no.

Unless we can get:

An amphibious car
A boat
A scooter or two and a wheelbarrow
Lighter equipment
Any combination of the above

I dove it once more after that video and I didn't even find the barge. :angry:

Re: Sola 600's on sale...

As a dive buddy, if you are farther away from me than visibility allows, its the same case. The light canon is merely overcoming poor buddy skills. Sometimes sh_t happens, and when it does, you follow the lost buddy rules. You signal, wait for a response, and then hit the surface. I've had strong b...

Re: Sola 600's on sale...

If my buddy is so far away from me I need a light canon to signal him, its probably someone I wont be diving with again. If I'm diving with a group, perhaps I see an "occasional" need for a light canon, but that is overshadowed by lugging around a battery canister, and lamp for all the re...

All joking aside, we all take diving safety seriously on this board. What effects one effects all.

I'm in for one dive, but not the first dive. What time should I be there? 8? 8:30? 9?
I'm gonna try to keep MZ's frail body in the water for 90 + minutes - second splash won't be until 9:30
