I would like to one day go on some dives, but have not done so yet.
So, please pardon my novice question, but I am very curious.  I watched
the movie "Open Water", then afterwards read the story/summary of the
inquiry about the people it was based on.  Granted, nobody knows the

Are there any good sites with trust worthy reviews out there? I am having a
bit of a problem deciding on gar as most of the sites all say good things

To anyone from the northeastern part of Pa., in the town of
Wilkes-Barre, a message  (non Pontiac oriented)
BEWARE- AVOID the Maytag appliance store on Rt. 309 by Home Depot, in
Wilkes-Barre. The guy that owns it is a major jerk, he talked me into a

Can anyone give some recommandations for dive operators in the middle Florida
Keys area?  I have not dove the Marathon area since the late '90's.  I used to
use "The Diving Site" but I beleive they are no longer in business.  I do
mostly reef diving, occasional wrecks, no nitrox.  I ...

Just curious... Why is it that the DIR folks seem to want normal SPGs with
6" hoses for the stages instead of the small SPGs that screw directly into

then.  Should I be taking a dry suit course or just thick wetsuit (5mm

regular wetsuit hood, and my mask seems to keep flooding, at times

I recently noticed a French tank on eBay for sale... It's rated in bars and
probably doesn't have a DOT stamp -- probably whatever the European
equivalent might be... It's also likely that it has metric threads, so I
