Just found these forums and figured I'd get rid of the "nag" at the top of the screen
It's been ages since I've dropped below the water line, but this past summer, having moved back to Ontario, the bug is back at 38 years old. I had everything I needed when I was in Edmonton, but before I moved out here in March, I pitched it all. I've been kicking my own arse ever since I hit the waters here.
So I've re-invested in new gear (well new to me). Oceaner 2 piece 7mm, Sherwood snorkel, Akona fins, Problue mask (not sure of the model number as it's at my place and I'm at the girl friend's right now), new belt and weights.
I've been spending far too much time over at the scubaboards. While they have great info and resources, I'm not keen on a PADI just yet. Just enjoying the bubble-less environment. Breath holds have been around the 2 minute mark, give or take depending on how hard I'm working. Never pushing beyond my comfort/safety limits. Have yet to drop to any substantial depths, mostly cruising rivers near Ottawa (closer to Lanark and Perth really)...
But anyhow, off to read some more. Head cold and chest congestion is keeping me dry for now.
