So tonite was the inaugural dive in my new to me drysuit and weight reconfiguration. It was heavenly! 29 lbs of lead. ... buoyancy was so easy in comparison to last time. I think the ankle weights may still be a little to heavy but all on all it was fantastic! !! Navigating dive completed. .. and wi...

Thank you all for your help:) I think for the summer I'm going to just dive and leave the photo plans until I've got more diving experience under my belt. I wrote down all your recommendations for the future. Thanks again. Joanna

Well, I tried to keep my fingers quiet. ... but couldn't do it. .. as usual. B Yoga and physical therapy worth professionals that understand backs in general and take the time to get to know your back in particular should be required. An amateur could really damage you. Cymbalta. .. while horribly e...

That photo is gorgeous scubie:) Carl, thanks for the info about the go pro... ahh... shopping

Lovely. Thank you for the info and the offer:) Now I can send my call night shopping for cameras rather than studying. Way more fun:)

Alright you lovely knowledgeable people.... now on the fun stuff:) Cameras. I am just starting out... know next to nothing about diving, let alone photography. After looking at all your beautiful photos I am very interested in capturing my adventures so that I can share the awe and fun. So I open th...

Where are you in the PNW? If you're in the Seattle area, I'd be happy to meet up with you and help you get your weighting straightened out. I think you are probably grossly overweighted, and it's making your life quite difficult, both in trying to figure out where to put all the weight, and in tryin...

Thank you:)

Thank you all for your info. I'm looking forward to making some new friends

Thank you all for your feedback and the offers. If it still isn't working right after the river trip I'll be calling to get some help.

I kind of thought I was waaayyyy over weight. When my new to me drysuit comes back from dui I'm going to hit the river. Start with Kyle s calculation... which would have me carrying 28 lbs using aluminum.

My last weight configuration was 30 on my BC, 2 on each ankle, an 8 lb weight belt for a total of 44 lb. I had NO trouble getting down and had significant difficulty regulating my buoyancy. I was diving with a steel tank. Next trip was going to be 1 lb on each ankle, a weight plate of 16? lbs and th...

The last thing to purchase on my kit list is my weight. (As a woman that still sounds incredibly wrong) My BC holds 30 lb comfortably, 5x2 in tank pockets and 10 x 2 up front. 1lb on each foot. I am looking for an alternative to the 8 lb weight belt I added the last time to dive salt. it's uncomfort...

I am a relative scuba newbie, ( I will be completing my advanced dive cert in Mid may, completed my OW in December in the columbia river). I will be spending the last week of May and the third week of June in Vancouver CA visiting family, playing golf with friends and hopefully diving. I am looking ...

Thank you all for the welcome.

Good evening to all:) My name is Joanna. I am a new diver, OW certified in December in the columbia river. Did most of my advanced dives 2 weeks ago at Redondo. I live in tri-cities, Wa but got a taste for the puget sound and am looking to make friends to come back and dive with. Any information wou...
