which side to put computer/gauge?
which side should you put your computer and/or gauge? (not counting wrists here), but rather attached to the first stage...
I feel better with it on my left, because I know I only have my reg on my right side... but I've heard others put the computer on the right too, so they can have their left hand free for using the inflator...
any opinions?
thanks,
Jack

local diving
Hi,
I am in New York and looking to dive local, in Manhattan and Westchester county. For now I can't pass 70 ft. so I am told. Can you please recommend a local dive charter, and possibly tell me your experience with them?:confused:
Thank you all for your info?

Live from New York...
Just dropping in to formally introduce myself. I joined DNY when it was formed last year but dropped out of the "scene" given a hectic schedule.
Anyway, my name is Luke and I live in Manhattan. My last dives were in December (blah) out in San Diego. I have my AOW card and looking into Rescue at the end of July.
My other hobbies include cycling and horology. The latter was actually brought on by SCUBA. I started collecting dive watches, which then evolved into a very expensive habit, I mean hobby.
Lastly, I just had a baby (May 18), well my wife did. This has curtailed the annual diving trip this year but I wouldn't have it any other way.
:cool2:
P.S. I'm also on Oceanblue Divers in Meetup but haven't participated much there as well.

Tank Hydro's
What's the deal with shops not being able to tell you when tanks will be back from Hydro.
This is more of a pain than scuba snobs and LDS's that make an issue of internet purchases.
Waiting on tanks to be hydro'd for 5-6 weeks is @#$@$#@.

Need reading recommendations on shipwrecks ...
Hey all! This is my first post at the forums and while I am hopelessly clumsy when it comes to all things water related, I have recently become completely enamored with stores of discovering and exploring shipwrecks. I've read Shadow Divers and several other books on the Titanic, Brittanic, and the Edmund Fitzgerald, but I'm having a hard time locating additional books on the subject. Can anyone recommend some books on the subject? Thanks!!

Homosassa...
Patty and I are going this month to explore the Homosassa River for the first time. So far I have found McCrae's for a boat ramp and info on the park. Can anyone give me the down-low on Homosassa River. Are ther more/better boat ramps? Do the boat ramps have fees? Are the boat ramps big enough to handle an 18' open fish? Is the park and spring head separated from the rest of the river? Are there dive sites outside the park? etc...etc. Thanks in advance for any input. We may have room on the boat for one or two to play along if interested. I will post any availability. The more the merrier!
