I was a former IT Professional until 9/11 happened, and been out of work for
two years. At the present time my employment prospects are slim to none as a
Senior Network Analyst and I am facing the possibility of a career change. I
am currently a Rescue diver and I am thinking ...

The other day, I bought a tube of Aquaseal and Cotol.
When I got home, I noticed that the Cotol had, rather than
being the usual clear then liquid, partially congealed.  About
half of it was like dry rubber cement in the bottle.  A couple

I'm getting ready for the annual spring Jacksonville treck to play with my
eldest child.  She's reached a stage where she's mature enough to handle
diving with her old man.  My plan is to run her through the PADI short
course, and then head south to the Keys, teach her to dive, and ...

Well, I'm back from my Australia diving holiday. I went to Australia with
only 4 dives. Over a span of 19 days, I completed another 50, giving me 54
total (and completed the advanced course). I learned a boatload and I'm
convinced that I advanced a lot more as a diver than I would ...

what's available and what they are like?
I'm on a bit of a tight budget as well, about ?700. Would I be better off
just doing day dives from somewhere like sharm? Am I going to get much

Happy New Year y'all. Hope 2004 is a great one for for all of you.
I'm starting it off nicely with a holiday in Cancun and with a little
luck, some time on Coz and in the cenotes. See you in a couple of
weeks.

I will be making my first trip to Grand Cayman January 17-25th. I received
my open water certification last year and am still a novice diver. Does
anyone have a recommendation on a good dive operator, preferably one that
isn't a cattle boat?

33 days 'till Ambergris Caye in Belize and already it is necessary to
start planning for next year. (February)
Considering Little Cayman, but always have to take into account my non
diving wife, who does however very much enjoy snorkelling.

Well, I couldn't do my beach dive yesterday, too nasty out there, so I
screwed around with my pony bottle. When I first filled it I hooked up
a reg to test it and breathe through it a bit so my starting pressure
while testing at home was 2800 psi. I didn't bother with counting ...

Hello all divers,
Best of all wishes to you and may 2004 be filled with thrilling but safe
dives.
For the nitrox divers I have updated my nitrox blender program (fixed some

Just a few lines to tell every one that scuba diving in Tenerife with

The diving was fantastic, every thing from turtles, dolphines, Angle Sharks,

or a corrective mask? Anyone know which is the most popular and the pros and
cons?
