scubadivinglady Columbus, IN 45, joined Nov. 2007	I've been diving 20 years and would like to hear from others that enjoy this great sport and adventure. It's a different world under the H2O. My favorite place to dive so far is in Bonaire. It is great because you can shore dive. Meet singles at DateHookup.dating, we're 100% free! Join now!

fldiverdan Austin, TX 43, joined Oct. 2007	Yes to dive with no wet suit in 80* water is like free falling.There's just donning your gear and going life is good then. The only thing I could wish for is a rebreather that way I could stay down for hours playing with the fish. Have u ever thought about cave diving, wreck diving, or my all time favorite nite diving?

bamabob Crane Hill, AL 65, joined Nov. 2007	I loved diving, got 3 tanks right here...two are very old. Need to up date them...but, I haven't used any in about 6 or 8 years. Just haven't wanted to spend the money to get back into it. I've been building a house and fixing up old boats so...it's just a matter of priorities. But...man it's awesome! I live on a very clear lake but the most favorite trip of all was in 1977, right after college graduation, me a two guys rented a house boat down in the Keys of FL. We lived on it for a week and just piddled around Marathon and Plantation keys. We also ran into a guy who had a small boat that he chartered for fishing and he was very reasonable...we hired him to take us out into the gulf for spear fishing and deep water diving... wonderful experience. I'd love to get my affairs and life in order enough that I could do it again some day.

scubadivinglady Columbus, IN 45, joined Nov. 2007	Yes, I night dive. You have to to see the coral open up, see the nocturnal creatures. You see entirely different things at night. I usually dive with a photographer using the macro lens at night (to get the little stuff). I have dove at the Helma Hooker wreck on Bonaire,N.A., but haven't done wrecks on the US coast, Florida, great lakes or elsewhere. Oh and I think there was a little plane in the quarry where I got certified. Sorry to all to delay looking back at my post-- I went on on vacation and have been busy. 31 dives + more snorkles

musikman1 Erlanger, KY 59, joined Dec. 2007	Hey all! I waited until late it life, I was a platform diver in HS and college, didn't try scuba til' I was 45, but I LOVE it! My main haunt in Freeport, Bahamas, you can get a 7-8 nite condo on the beach for like $550 that sleeps four adults, and Fred Riger at Grand Bahama Scuba is the best! They don't have a "set" schedule, everyone gets on the boat (10a, no 8a bleary eyed early run!), and just asks everyone, "Where do you want to go?" He's been a divemaster in Freeport for almost 20 years, and does a great job. Also, he let's you dive to the limit of your air. No 30-40 minutes and arbitrarily up, he'll let you stay down and take a few extra minutes (except me, at 40'-50' I can go about 90 mins on an aluminum 80, so he kinda nudges me after an hour.. (grin) My dive buddy and I use AGA full face masks with the ultrasound BuddyPhone system, so we can talk underwater. It's a ball!

musikman1 Erlanger, KY 59, joined Dec. 2007	Hey bamabob, I'm with you, I have three tanks here with EAN40 in them.. It's a little harder to plan a "drive away" day trip, isn't it? Mine are about ready for a hydrostatic test too.. My buddy and I want to go to that lake up in WV, can't remember the name of it.. It's up in the mountains, and it's also a "run off" water supply for an electric station, which makes the water 90F all year round. My buddy and I want to run up in the winter sometime and try it out.. If you see one of the issues of SCUBA WORLD where they talk about dive sites in the 50 states, it's always listed in there.. I did my AOW cert at a quarry up in Ohio. One of the "tests" is that you go down 100' and they test you for dexterity and whether you freak out and all that stuff.. Well... at 100' in this particular body of water, the water temp on the surface was 93F, and the temp at 104' was 42F.. I will NEVER do cold water again! LOL I have a Goldline Farmer John 7mm, so it's 7mm on the chest piece, and another 7mm on the coat, 14mm in the chest.. But at 42F it doesn't matter, it's c-o-o-o-o-l-d! Especially for we "ain't 18 anymore" types!

gobluekds Adrian, MI 49, joined Dec. 2007	I'm a diver! I dive cold water mostly, given that I live in MI, but enjoy warm the best. My favorite place to dive by far is Micronesia (Truk, followed by Yap). Heading to San Salvador Island in April - can't wait!)

jimm1956 Tarpon Springs, FL 65, joined May. 2008	Hey musicman Did you happen to get certified in a quarry in Circleville. Ohio? that is where I got ceritfied at the age of 45 some 11 years ago. Dove in a quarry in northern ohio also forget the name. It is a county park I believe about 100 miles north of columbus... I have been to Cozumel which has been my best place to dive. I now live in Florida which the keys and springs are so close. I remember diving in the circleville quarry at night with the temp water at 55/60 and that was crazy. I do love night dives though.

seadiver2 Valdosta, GA 66, joined Feb. 2008	Musikman, my son and me went to Mt Storm and tried a dive there last Spring. It was the most horrible dive i ever did. The water was way too hot and vis......lol...could hardly see my fins. The current is very strong from them continuously drawing and pumping water back in the plant to cool the turbines. Your money would be better spent diving wrecks in Fla or a charter in the Dry Tortugas. If anyone on here gets this way, give me a shout and maybe we can do Fla. I only live 16 miles north of the state line..

deepbluehunter North Palm Beach, FL 49, joined May. 2008	I live in Palm Beach, Florida where the water is clear, blue and warm. After diving in dozens of other countries, I realize just how fortunate we are to live so close to such awesome reefs. Lobstering and spear fishing are pretty good here too. My friend shot this film of where we dive a lot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jXIaW_jOYY Send a message if you're coming our way to dive, and I'll fill ya in on the better charters.

scubadivinglady Columbus, IN 45, joined Nov. 2007	Just checking back into the topic I started long ago. It's great to get some post here. Just saying hi to all and to put my 2 cents in to new divers. Please please, the ocean needs protecting from not just environmental issues, but diver created issues. Remember that the coral is a living thing and it you touch it that section WILL DIE. That dead coral will then slowly die around that area. So, new (and old divers-- especially with cameras) try to control your buoyancy so that you don't accidentally cause a deadly chain reaction. This means hands, that hanging octopus, those long fins, your light, any part of you, and anything that you bring in the water, or let blow into (or otherwise ends up in) the water. I'm still looking for a buddy.

cruiser11 Huffman, TX 57, joined Aug. 2008	I love diving! Any time, Anywhere! I've done a lot of diving in the Caribbean and Cozumel. Bonaire and Cozumel are my favorites so far. Both places are fine for night dives. Diving from a cruise ship later this month. San Juan, Aruba, Curacao, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas. Aruba and Curacao will be new for me. Can't wait to get below sea level!

galaxsea Vero Beach, FL 70, joined Oct. 2008	Hey - another diver here in south Florida... I used to live by and dive the Great Lakes and now enjoying the warm waters of the south. Love diving the Caymen Islands - my favorite - Bloody Bay Wall, East and West Shoots - could go on, but hard to beat water clarity of 160 feet. Turks and Caicos and French Key also incredible. I moved down here 3-1/2 years ago and until I figure out where I'm finally going to plant roots, I'm doing the liveaboard thing on my boat - kinda cool, huh? Been exploring the Treasure Coast lately and checking out little houses... but am missing the Keys. Who know, I could end up living anywhere if I meet that special someone - but it does have to be near water!!

sofindianapolis Indianapolis, IN 60, joined Oct. 2008	I have been diving for about 10 years and I love warm water, but Living in Indianapolis Indiana I don't get to the warm water enough to satisfy my desire to dive. I am one of the crazy’s who also dives cold water. About a month a go my club went up to Mackinac and dove several wrecks that went down in the 1890's. The water temperature at depth was 29 degrees, it was cold, but the wrecks were awesome. Over memorial day several of us went to Pensacola and dove the aircraft carrier the USS Oriskany which was sunk two years ago as an artificial reef. The water was warm and it was an awesome dive. It has already attracted a lot of life and the water was about 70 degrees. It was great being able to wear a 1 mm instead of a 7mm. Light gloves and no hood was also nice. But with limited time and money and living 750 miles from the ocean I am not will to only dive once or twice a year. I would not have wanted to miss either trip. Both dive trips were awesome. Yet I can understand the idea of the warm water only diver. What do they say "to each their own", and yet there are some awesome things to see in the cold waters of the Midwest too. If you would like to see some video I have taken go to youtube and search for sofindy.

kermit32 York, NE 61, joined Feb. 2009	back to Bonaire in June and again in November of this year...2009 I have been making the pilgrimage since 2002..at least once and the best was 3 times...my friends think I am in a rut...but until you dive Bonaire...... it beats Austraila, Coz, Cayman, Belize runs some serious competition because the reef is alive and well in Belize,Florida is great for the sheer numbers of fish! Utilia, Honduras is high on the list because swimming with a whaleshark for over an hour is just hard to beat in any book! But none of them beat 88 degree water and almost no current most of the time and diving 24/7 is a great option on any island

fishhook70 Clovis, CA 46, joined Jan. 2010	Hey ladies, just remember "Divers Do It Deeper and Stay Down Longer." Been diving for almost 20 years. Search, rescue, recovery and underwater maintenance. Dive anywhere and anytime. Its funny to see what comes out of the windows of cars when they are being pulled out of a lake. Hopefully we got all the bodies out before we hook up the winch cable. Mostly lake and river diving so its usually cold. Anywhere from 40 degrees and up. And being a Bass fisherman I can check out where the fish hang out.

misterwiggly El Campo, TX 63, joined Feb. 2010	As noted in my profile, I began commercial diving for my work in 1974, in Corpus Christi, Texas. I received my certifications thru Gulley's Dive shop there in CC. One of the guys I later worked with owned the dive shop in Victoria, Texas and in the mid to late eighties I did my first, non work related dives in Cozumel. For several years I made many trips as dive shop owner and his wife liked the fact I could handle anyone, no matter their handicaps, (mostly medical) and loved night-diving. I could also stretch a tank as far as most anyone and 90+ min dives at 90-100 feet were fairly normal for me. FWIW, when I first began construction diving, we dove 365 days a year and the water was NOT always warm and never clear. IIRC, my deepest dive was the south Palincar caves of Cozumel where I dove 165 feet one day, without decompression. Compared to work diving, pleasure diving is like being in heaven. misterwiggly ps - been some time since I dove, (no longer work offshore) but I do love the fancy gear and regulators they have nowdays as my stuff although still in good working order is antique
