Coytee Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Ok, so "any divers here?" Do you have an interest in taking pictures underwater? Do you have an interest in a camera housing that is fitted for a film camera? I have an Ikelite underwater camera housing (fits Nikon N-90S) Housing, flash and a water tight (when new) carrying case. Though I have the N-90S as well... I'm not sure I'm getting rid of it yet. Truth be told.... this was used on one (for sure) or three dives and that's it. If you're nearby or passing through, stop in and maybe I'll let you buy me dinner as we load the goodies into your car (hmmm...does that suggest that they're yours for the price of dinner?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 To clarify... I don't mean one or three dive trips.... I mean one or three times under water. Truth be told, I think it's two dives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yep - PADI Advanced Open Water and Rescue certs. But no on the housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent_George Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I'm a SSI open water diver. Been doing it for 8 years. Honestly the most relaxing thing I ever do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 PADI certified 1987. Have not dived since around 2000. And I live in Florida. Go figure. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Guy Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I started diving with my next door neighbors as a kid when I was in 4th grade got certified and then took some advanced classes for a senior certification. But stopped in high school when they moved away, their son was my best friend and dive buddy. Usually we dove from a large chartered dive boat to Catalina Island excellent conditions, but also a few times off the coast of California murky and not much to see, that was for the advanced class dives and a few times off the coast of Mexico which was OK but nothing like Catalina. I never got another dive buddy so I never dove again after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalcomfort Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Open water 1 when I was in the army, got to dive a bunch in the Red Sea, when I was stationed over there. Spent a lot of time in local lakes when I got out. Not been in 20 years just lost interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told, I'll still dust off the scuba gear from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Went diving in Cozumel in 87 and 91 and did a live aboard trip to Bimini in 1988. Very cool trips. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill We used to dive the Branford area springs, Peacock, Olsen, Orange Grove, Troy, Ginnie/Devil's Ear-Eye (before they grated it off), Manatee, etc. Beautiful but a bit tiresome with nothing but limestone. Our cave dives got interesting though, especially the deep ones. Do not have the balls or level of fitness to even think about doing that again. I literally get chills to this day thinking about the risks we took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I was a kid on Long Island watching Sea Hunt on TV. Visibility around Long Island was about two feet. Later I learned that Sea Hunt was filmed in Florida's Silver Springs were visibility is almost unlimited. Gee, us kids are getting fooled. Years later my wife pried me out of work for an Apple vacation to Hawaii. We took a shorter non-PADI course. (I don't recommend this, go with PADI and thorough instruction.) The last day took us to Shark Cove. The instructor later said it was named because a shark had helped a young fisherman by directing fish to his net. I thought this was a campfire story for tourists. But later this was confirmed. What? We were swimming in shark infested waters! I'd seen "Jaws" once too often. Years later some good buddies and I snorkeled in St. John and St. Thomas. Wonderful. My conclusion was that a very great amount of interesting stuff is in the first five feet, i.e. snorkeling depth. OTOH, SCUBA is an expensive culture. No, I've not been doing this a long time.

Rich_Guy Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 On a related note Jack O'Neill who pioneered the wet suit just died today he was 94. He was a surfing icon and he created the first neoprene wetsuit in the 50's. O'Neill becoming a huge product brand of wet suits and other water toy and surfing products.
