I'm hoping against hope that someone here can give me a few hints to take to
my confined water skills session tonight so that I'm not so freaked out.
It's week four and I am supposed to do 'all equipment off, surface, surface
dive, don equipment' skill in the deep end.  I should ...

During a western Caribbean cruise, I had the chance to do some quick scuba
diving while at port in Grand Cayman. Since time was limited, I did some
prior research and decided to try the shore dives at Eden Rocks. It was

Hi, I'm new to this board...
I'm a Chicago diver, and yes, I revel in the irony. Actually, I have yet
to dive the lake but I'm doing a local quarry dive in two weeks. I don't
want to become one of those warm-water-wusses...so far I've only done

I have a Southern Illinois University student interning for me in West
Central Florida who wants to get certified to dive. After doing some of

I know that if you use talc on your seals, it must be unscented with no
