I'm not at liberty to discuss the origin of this post, but I have been requested to create a poll to gauge interest. I don't want to steal any thunder from Jake-The-Snake and his thread, but since it was asked of me to create it, here it is. If we get enough interest and enough votes, we WILL have our forum.
Please, help if you're interested in having a diving forum. Tag it, vote it, bump it, pass it around. Poll incoming. |

As a non-diver who will likely be getting his certification this year or next....IN!

Tell her to go away for a year or so, stop emailing, stop texting, block all accounts, etc etc... When she still doesn't go away, supply pictures of self + new and improved girlfriend. ...it's what I did. |

I'm in as long as I get a guarantee that I can call people strokes without a TOS slapdown.

No promises on the stroke thing. |

I would have figured the 22 page thread in the suggestion forum would speak just as well as a poll... but clearly I'm wrong.
|
|
I honestly can't see why we don't have one already considering the size of the other thread.

I don't have time to do it, but does someone want to go through the other thread and PM a bunch of people in that thread and tell them to come here and vote?

It better be STRICTLY DIR! View Quote Is my dad's enormous old Buck Nemo DIR? It looks cool and is black. I'm fairly inexperienced though certified in '91. I'm trying to influence one of my coworkers to buddy up & work together to take fundies as a team. Until then, I'm mostly a landlocked armchair DIR diver. Let's get a few starter topics: Back-kicking and helicopter turns in split fins? Where should I keep my snorkel? How much bottom time can I expect from Spare Air? Loop a hose around your neck? That's a strangulation hazard, so go Air Source? What brands of retractable leash and carabiners should I use to secure gear? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Most of the diving forums are full of "guns are icky" types. It would be nice to be able to discuss these things here.

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.

View Quote 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 think the term "strokes" should be reserved for the 17 people who voted "no" on the poll.

Thank you for sending the IMs and thanks to all who have responded so far.

PADI DM checking in In Colorado? CO is supposed to have some good diving. Arkansas has a lot of good stuff. Colorado, is or used to have the 2nd highest per capita for certified divers 2nd only to FL our diving isnt anything great.. we got reservoirs... bleh Cold and low visibility. when it's "warm" (mostly warm air temps, as water is still High 60's to Low 70's (if you're lucky), we take students to get their OW at Aurora or Chatfield. In the winter time, Homestead Crater in UT (very warm, good viz, but isolated) or The Blue Hole in NM (cold but clear) That said, the Caribbean is a short plane ride away from DIA and CO has a high percentage of people who get outdoors alot.. so not too hard to get your head around. I did my OW in the FL Keys.. I feel sorry for our students that get it here. |

Presently a non-diver, but my dad used to be and I have always been interested. I'd love to have a sub forum dedicated to it.
|
|
I'm down, even for a dual skydiving/scuba diving or extreme sports forum.
