Second year diving, having lots of fun but I’d like to find more dive buddies. Preferably down to earth people more interested in having fun rather than being “ the best diver ever”. Just looking for some cool, safe people to dive and hang with. I do have a boat.

Email me at info(at)sonarsar.com leave a phone #.
I have 3 new wrecks I found last October that are shallow and would be a great dive for you/us that I need to film. Other stuff to dive again including a pick-up truck. Lots to do this year. Need to talk to you 1st. If you don't have a pony bottle I suggest getting one-19cf minimum. I use a 19cf pony that I rarely dive without whether I'm diving solo or not. You have the right attitude when it comes to choosing dive buddies thank you. HH |

Anyone can drop me a line also. I plan on hitting quite a few of the Friday night diving here: http://www.divewinnipesaukee.com/lake_charters.shtml
Just to get my bearings again. It's been a while since my last dive, though I did obtain my divemaster's certification year ago. I purchased all new gear for this year and I'm ready to go. I don't live up there full time - live in NH, and have a place in Gilford and a boat at Fays. Interesting on the pony bottle. May I ask why carry that and not a simple spare air? Of course that being said, I've never carried either on me. I suppose if I went solo diving I would highly consider it. |

A Spare Air is sometimes called a "Spare Breath" due to their size. Off the top of my head they are I think, about 2-4 cubic feet as opposed to my 19 cf Pony. Of course even bigger Ponys are available.
Yes it can get you to the surface-yes they work fine, depending on: - How deep you are when you need it; - Whether or not you need to ascend slowly to de-compress on the way up to avoid the bends; - How well you use air overall; - Whether or not you freak out when you lose you main tank and start hyerventilating; - Whether or not an immediate emergency ascent is even an option; When Senter Cove Guy and I dive below about 50-60 feet we both have Ponys. He and I often go to 90+ feet. He goes even deeper when doing recoveries for Dive Winni. So he has a main tank and a Pony, I have a main tank and a Pony. That's 4 independent air systems between us. Nice. And when I dive deep(er), say below 75 feet, it's with a steel 100 not an aluminum 80. Of course I have dived to 90+ feet on an 80 but as a rule..."more air = good". Not trying to scare anyone but please think it through. Bottom line is Spare Airs are fantastic to have and could easily save your life but a true Pony is the way to go. |
