I dive with a reel that I have bolt snapped off to the bow of my kayak and take it along with me on kayak dives. Its easy! I've never tried to correlate underwater pictures with ab...

I've had my NextGen for over 5 years and finally had to replace the neck seal. The wrist seals are finally wearing also and I'll have them done in the next month. The suit has been awesome! For 600.00 it came with a two piece fleece, inflator hose and rock boots. I know numerous people who have pur...

Safer Way Please...!

Wow, Thanks for the heads up Scott. I was actually thinking I'd chunk mine up with a set of bolt cutters or something so that it would melt easier. I have a gas fired kiln that'll go up to 1800deg F, I was thinking I'd just put an old cast iron pan in there to melt the lead. Does that sound like a ...

Dive Sites I Hate...?

Dive locations where somebody tries to rub their personality off on everybody and take over and provide unwarranted, phony leadership.

I hate dives where I lose my dive buddy to a predator.

While I was there, I didn't inhale, I didn't pray, I didn't go to school, and now I can't talk ...
