What do you expect for $250!? I charge more then that per hour of my time......the instructors aren't making any money, the LDS isn't making money either-this is a hobby where the instructor, store and dive boat axis is lucky to pay their bills and break even. It is a classist example of how...

To advertise for hiring an employee to be an instructor and the requirement for them to be female is a violation of federal law enforced by the misandristic federal Equal Emploiyment Opportunity Commission. For knowlege enrichment I took 300 hours of formal Swedish massage instruction at a...

"How dangerous are triggerfish?" Depends, you ever skinny dip?

I have always liked the bungalow photos at AKR, especially the ones over the water, but the idea of traveling to some remote, idyllic tropical isle, laying out on a deserted stretch of beach or secluded cove to tan all over, then having insects attempt to consume your flesh, suck the blood from...

I think I need to first learn my overly complex computer first and get my mask/guage reader issues resolved first or I am not going to be able to operate my complex computer for deco stuff, let alone see it.... I do plan on getting some more diving done once I finish up a job in a couple of...

I read quite alot of law journals.. I can't tell you how many handicapped types and their lawyers stake out little mom-and pop shops, then spend a hundred to file a lawsuit, then settle for several thousand because that is less expensive to do then retain a lawyer and spend alot of time bringing...

Yes, right here in the San Pornando Valley.

I have a high pressure US Divers 80 cubic foot laying around somewhere, does PST make this? I also have a Faber lp 105. Both are hot dipped galvanized, and all galvanizing is zinc. I have had the Faber for 14 years, and it still looks fine.....so I must be missing something.....

Gang, Ok, here's the deal; I travel all over the country staying in nice hotels, so I can't stand the idea of spending perfectly good money to stay in a hotel in some tropical paradise. I prefer something along the lines of an authentic clean large south pacific bure, or a clean private...

I have to agree with Northeast here, that was my first reaction when I read the early commentary. The ADA is a law that radical handicapped terrorists and their blood sucking lawyers use to extort $ out of businesses. These are the types that scream to be treated just like everyone else as if...

Gang, Sooner or later I am going to be able to take off and go to some exotic tropical dive location with the turtle, but until then, I have some questions. Obviously if I can avoid buying a wetsuit to dive tropical that would be nice, but do any of you use your drysuits for 80 degree...

Robert, I have to confess that I am like a frogfish that lies in wait. The bait I dangled was the statement that lobster can be taken via hoop nets. I was surprised I had to lie in wait and wriggle the worm for so long before someone bit.;) CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME CODE SECTION 7256...

The diveskin would certainly be more flattering, and could double for use later on, but for budgetary purposes, you could also get those throw-away Tyvek thin white plastic shop jumpsuits to go over your existing wetsuit. Aftewards, you could sue it when doing grubbo work around the house, and...

I see this reference to "hot dip galvanizing". Since all galvanizing is done via submersion into melted zinc compounds, and all steel cylinders from all manufacturers are coated via this process although some aftermarketers are using spray guns to spray on hot zinc powder, am I missing something?

As image sizes become larger and larger to to the megapixel wars, as long as it is competitively priced, go for the largest memory card you can. I have a pro digital camera for products we market, and I use an IMB 1 gig microdrive. The file sizes for tiff-RGB images are huge, but it will hold...

To the woman whose weights digs into her hips, try either using a soft lead shot weight belt or use the side weight pockets on your bc to hold the weights or have them added if possible. I used to get bruised hips from my weight belt too as I don't have any natural padding going on and the...

Other then my recent switch to buddy diving when I am diving my closed circuit rebreather, I dove open circuit solo for the last 20 out of 31 years.... In all that time, there has never been a situation I couldn't handle or could have used a buddy for other then closing off a lobster back...
