Having recently finished 4 days of diving off FLA's gulf coast, I have some info for you.

Treasure Island Divers - (813) 360-6669 - is a good shop. I was certified there!

About the diving: It is mostly 45 - 100 foot dives on shelves and wrecks.
      Visibility: During May it will be the best ( 50 ft ) but the rest of the 
		   summer fluctuates.

Have fun and dive safe.

If you want detailed instructions, check out Al Pierce's _Scuba Life
Saving_, which advocates the possible use of this method.  The main
point is that it's pretty tricky with today's BC's, and requires a
fair amount of practice, a cool head to clear the BC, and good
dexterity to hold open the BC and feed in fresh air as well.

This sounds like an ideal setup, if you don't mind the maintenance.
The bailout bottle also provides realistic emergency buoyancy even at
depth, even when you're out of air.

.

I often carry fresh water when on dives that involve a lot of surface swimming,
and also exposure protection such as zinc cream and lip salve.

In the north of Western Australia, some divers carry short lengths of rope,
weighted at one end, for the sea snakes (it's true I swear). The idea is the
snakes wrap themselves around these ropes in preference to your reg hoses.
Does anyone else know of this practice (sp ?) ?

It's possible to have utility pockets added to full length wetsuits so that
gear you may possibly need is not a burden to carry and does not in itself
make the dive less safe. I am strongly in favour of diving as simply as
possible and believe excess gear is just more gear to lose/break/rely upon.
I see a lot of divers who store gear in their catch bags and then clip this
bag to their weight belt. This seems like asking for it, as the first thing I
would "lose" in an emergency would be my weight belt, and most of these clips
are of two handed release type (Yuk !).

     True - but at the moment I saw my weight belt lying on the
bottom I made the decision to concentrate solely on my breathing.
Although I might have been able to slow my ascent somewhat, nothing
was going to slow me to a rate that's considered safe.  Trying to
concentrate on anything else could have distracted me from breathing
properly; a moment's inattention could have resulted in barotrauma.

     But thanks for the comments.  This was my decision at the time
and I feel it was the right one.  Your mileage may vary.

I heard this nice shot of warmth is great from people I have gone
diving with. It's damn cold in No. CA.. Unfortunatly on my cert dive, 
our instructor told us wetsuits do not circulate water & when you peel
off after a dive people will scatter. I still can not do this even if 
I try. My brain just won't let me.

You have lost a lot of heat when you pee.  You are dumping a quantity of liquid 
which is at body temperature.  And you're not likely to regain those calories
anytime soon.  I don't know about the skin contact thing.

I'm told, by someone who should know (MD) that, when the kidneys get cold, they 
increase the blood flow through them.  Which increases renal output.  Which
temporarily raises the temperature of your wet suit.  You ice cube divers might
try a small heat pack across the kidney area.  Of course, I'm told that when
the kidneys get cold, they increase the blood flow through them ...

My understanding is that it is a cross-certification, in which an
instructor who is also an ANDI or IAND instructor can issue a NAUI
specialty card.  The precedent and treatment come from the NAUI Cavern
and Caving specialty certifications.  The course is NOT a NAUI course,
it is a cross-certification, and must meet the standards of ANDI or
IAND to be allowed.

Wetsuits certainly do circulate water ... I've never had a problem with smells
in my suit after peeing in it, even when getting out within half an hour of
peeing.  Basically I pee in my suit to extend the time I have underwater (I
can't afford a 7mm suit or one of the new suits with seals on them :-(  ).  I
find that peeing in my suit can give me an extra half hour from the starting-to-
shiver stage.  BTW, before anyone starts telling me I should get out then
anyway, I dive for my studies (marine biology), and often can't squeeze in other
dive dates due to weather.

This was reported in the latest AquaCorps Technical Diver (3.1) -- but

Aside from being warm and comfortable under water, this has been one of
the biggest advantages of the dry suit.  I can dive all day and still

I'm an SSI Instructor.  SSI's deep diving training is limited to 130
feet, and no-decompression.  You do a simulated decompression stop.

SSI's insurance is covenanted on no training dives deeper than 130,
and no planned decompression diving.

Anyone who is going deeper or who is doing planned deco is not
teaching a course which can be sanctioned by SSI.
