Steve,
Quick tip...Instead of investing in a computer that you don`t really need...Try a simple bottom timer...

These devices show all the info you really need on a dive and can be purchased for less then $200...I often see them for sale used for little more then $100...
If you really think about it, depth, max depth, time is all you really need...these gauges give you all of the above and cheaper then a `puter....Its costs a lot of bucks to get into diving, so saving some here in there with smart purchases really helps...

I think I know someone that might have......:-)

Check with the local (St. Catharines) dive shops to see what they have for computers and bottles. Check this forum to see when there are people going out for a dive.


Yeh I'm hoping someone is going out this weekend or next week into the canal, I am leaving Sat. Morning and will be in Welland sometime in the afternoon

Hopefully the silt will have settled enough for you to see the boat.....I guess that will depend on how fast the boat sinks. We'll all be there...as will many other people I am sure. There will many people there who will be happy to get you on some "first" dives out of certification. Diving with different people as a new diver will allow you to see what kind of diving there is...by this I mean watching the different styles of diving...and most importantly....talking to other divers. Divers may not always share the same views or styles of diving...but one thing they do share is the love and need to be in the water. No matter what the diving style or preference, divers will know the local dive spots, and are more than happy to share that information for the most part.

See you Saturday!

Well, you can still throw around piles of money..but where you throw sure makes a difference...
Buying right the first time will save you in the long run..I know I'm not the only one with a Rubbermaid box or two of useless gear :-)
