Re: Is Scuba an Extreme Sport?

I don't think any activity with air consumption rates less than 1cf/min can count as a sport much less an extreme sport.

Re: PLEASE READ: Pacific Northwest Dive Expo - May 3 and 4

In my opinion it is too bad that there is not more advertising for this show. Advertising in a local SCUBA publication is a bit like preaching to the choir if you ask me. I don't want to take away from the work of the organizers here but it seems that a big part of events like this that I have been ...

Blue hole is far from a prime destination. It is great for mastering skills, dialing in gear, working with students or experimenting with new gear or configurations. There is something to be said for the simplicity & predictability of lakes and springs. I dive with a range of vintage and modern ...
