RE: uh-oh, did I do something wrong? - 1/6/2006 11:43:05 AM    barbieheid   Posts: 127 Joined: 12/23/2005 Status: offline Hi Barbie... Just read one of your posts and I see that you are from Conn... nice... I do some diving down there with a close friend and we look for bottles. We have done 30 or 40 dives in the Conn River and have found some nice stuff. We usually take several long weekend trips, weather and water permitting. If you have any ideas and would like to share them, we are always open to suggestions for new areas to try Hey, I'm PADI and MAUI! - just haven't dove in years after extensive sinus surgeries. I would imagine the Connecticut River is full of all kinds of stuff. _____________________________ Barbie >^,,^< (in reply to southern Maine diver) Post #: 21

After such a lengthy period, your sinuses have probably healed over pretty good. If you get a free moment some day, go to a dive shop that has a pool and try on some new gear! Tell them you are looking into a "refresher" course and want to see if you can handle diving again. The shop owners are alway looking for new customers and for people to get back into the sport. They'll help you out. Take care, Wayne (in reply to barbieheid) Post #: 22

After so long off the dive boat, I'd be toast - I could really use a refresher. Plus, I'd like to get into wreck diving sometime. I had *no idea* how many wrecks are off the Connecticut/Mass coast! Must be bottles a'waiting for me _____________________________ Barbie >^,,^< (in reply to southern Maine diver) Post #: 23

Wreck diving can be fun, but most of the diveable wrecks have been picked over pretty good... maybe the deeper ones may have a bit more collectable items on them or maybe a new wreck would would have some... The shallow wrecks are pretty beaten up from storms. Your best bet for finding bottles is to check your old maps and history for some of the rivers. They can be "loaded" if you find the right spot and besides, your river dives won't be nearly as deep as your typical wreck dives. You'll have less pressure, use less air and have more bottom time...

I'm sure you're right, and we have many old areas built on rivers. Problem is, not even polution can survive in a Connecticut river, LOL. I'll have to start checking them out in the spring. _____________________________ Barbie >^,,^< (in reply to southern Maine diver) Post #: 25
