july 10th - can't wait!

Of course I mean that in the BEST way possible (I'm the worst!) - you can't have too much information! \:D/ The snorkle isn't very important - get one that is hollow so you can breathe through it. =D> I haven't tried them but I hear bio fins are awesome from many people. I think I'm getting my fian...

Underwater Sports in Seattle http://www.underwatersports.com/ has their "Diver's Fair July 28- 30, and there are usually some good deals. I'm sure other Dive Shops in the area have annual sales as well that I'm not aware of and other folks on the board could weigh in there? btw, lighthouse has...

Cheers my fellow gear-head research-whore!!! :partyman: wow; i've been called some things ... but never a whore. thanks! :bootyshake: yeah; i'd be glad to hear more input on gear. i've had my heart set on the bio-fins for over a year, so you'd be hell-bent to change my mind there, but i haven't mad...

i was wondering about that newer material. i was looking at the henderson gold core and the henderson instradry. there are more reviews for the gold core, but i know that's just because it's been around longer. the instradry is intriguing and looks like it is a lot thinner, which i'm sure will be no...

yeah; my class starts july 10th, so that's too late. i think there's one in lynnwood at lighthouse soon but not sure how much they will have to offer ... anyone been to that one in the past? i just looked and it is this weekend so maybe i should hold off until then at least.

for my upcoming scuba diver course, i am looking to get my "personal gear" package. i'm trying to decide if 5mm is fine for boots and gloves or if i might want to get 7mm boots or 3mm gloves. i get very cold very easy, but i'd like to be able to use them year-round if possible. (or do you ...

my boyfriend and i signed up for our scuba class tonight. :smt038: we start on july 10th! will be eagerly looking through my materials and shopping for my personal gear until then. excited to finally get to learn how to dive!

thanks, guys - i really like how you make everybody feel so welcome here! we had actually picked a place to take our first class through last summer, but we [obviously] never took it, and i wanted to do some more research this time. i have been to four shops in the past two days, including the one w...

hi, i have never been diving, but me and my boyfriend have been wanting to give it a try since before we even knew each other. lately i have been lurking here (and many other places) while researching where to get started and what gear to buy. i've met quite a few nice people during my shop visits, ...
