I've got a ton of videos from boracay that haven't been uploaded yet.

Haven't quite worked out the process of color correcting them. Might just say screw all that and upload them as-is.

red filters for go pro cameras are made, but hard to get your hands on

I need to get a green for mine for Lake Ouachita. I did mine as is, because I suck at editing.

Going up in the other thread now.

I started a thread in GD, and all the hometown forums from California up. Someone else do a few more hometown forums, and someone else hit a few more. Get em all!

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Because common sense...isn't. Instead of everyone enjoying a pursuit, it needs to get all tier-ry.

IMHO, everyone who dives should get the Rescue rating. Not only will you be able to help someone, but the things you learn will make you a better diver.

I would love to have one. Since I got my AOW, I have been out of it a little, but have recently been re-invigorated to go get some of the other quals.

I agree, the best class I've done so far.
And voted yes in the poll.

Those of you who vote "no," please kindly come explain yourselves. I, for one, would love to know why it's so important that you would vote that a diving forum not be added. It's not offensive, and you may ignore it just as I do the vaping forum and various HTFs on the other side of the country.

Good guess!

That was the last dive of the afternoon that day, it was overcast, in the 50's, and then it started raining... I only had about 1400psi left in my yellow tank so I used that to do any adjustments to my BC I needed because I was over-weighted, and my buddy rigged up one of his stage tanks as a ghetto sidemount and off we went! The weight issue was because I work nights and was tired when I packed my truck, forgot to bring my extra container of weights and had to borrow some from him.

One from inside the cavern (that open water divers are cleared to enter per site staff, before anyone freaks out):

Stair access is so nice.

If it's where I think it is, you can go till you hit the locked grate.

I like to Cave Dive in Peacock, it is an easy cave.

Little River is the one that will get you bent if you are not careful. I used to dump ALL my air from my bladder before I would ascend. If it is pumping and you are the slightest positive, the current will blow you out like a Ping-Pong ball. I would bond up 5 feet and stop for 15 seconds, rinse, lather, repeat till my deco stop. Let the current work for me rather than against me. At Little River, most of the dive is at over 90 feet depth IIRC, it is almost always going to be a deco dive.

I haven't been Cave Diving in years and my old Instructor is pushing Sidemount hard now. I told him anywhere that tight, I did not need to dive.

And yes, I am IANTD Cave Certified.
