What does that have to do with Cressi fins, like the OP asked?

I have used the Cressi frog fins and they were fine. Go for it if you can get a good price on them.

Re: Skin Bends ( NHZ )

This is something that probably could have been avoided by using EANx 36%, correct? Can I ask why air was your breathing gas of choice?

Re: Rebreathers.....

Cory I like you and all but that was a bit of a slap in the face for those of us who can barely afford a hollis scoot. :/ Not sure why it's a slap in the face. When he was your age I bet he didn't have 2 nickels to rub together. He's worked for everything he has. I'm sure that if you apply yourself...

Re: Farmer John 7mm Vs. Semi-Dry 7mm

Thanks for the input. I do not have the opportunity to borrow both, so based on your posts I will try the Semi-Dry suit.

Obviously, if I ever plan to buy a suit for diving up here it will be a drysuit.

Farmer John 7mm Vs. Semi-Dry 7mm

I have an opportunity coming up to try my first Northwest dive and a friend is offering to loan me either a 7mm two piece Farmer John style wetsuit or a 7mm Semi-Dry one piece. I have never used either one so I don't know which would keep me warmer. Does anyone on this forum have any experience with...

Re: Hope To Dive Up Here Soon

LCF, I have been lurking long enough to see who is friends with who here. I can tell when the ribbing is good natured, which looks like most of the time, but not always. Scottsax, I wish the dog in my avatar was mine. Maybe someday I will be able to get a blue pit, but not until my kids are old enou...

Re: Hope To Dive Up Here Soon

Thanks for the Welcome. Jenbowes, I am ready for the cold water but not really the ribbing from some of these forum members. Maybe if I get to know some of you in person it might be different, but I'm starting to see who I'd want to know and who I don't. Spatman, I got my certification from the same...

I've read a lot of what some of you all have to say and I hope to start diving up here in the cold waters soon. So I just wanted to sa...
