It takes years of training to pronounce them correctly.

What did you do wrong? Nada. You dove within your limits, kept an eye on other divers in case the DM needed back up, communicated with the insta-buddy and had a good dive. I don't like to rent either, but I have been diving long enough to know that no matter how bad their equipment might seem...

I thought we were talking lobster here, not carp. Where do you get carp for a dime?

Of all the environmental crimes I have seen committed by scuba divers, cracking open a sea urchin probably ranks near the bottom in terms of adverse effect. When I used to spear fish I would crack an urchin to draw fish, then shoot the fish. I ate the fish, other fish ate the urchin, nothing...

We don't do it with people? Better watch the evening news; it's done all the time. (Sudan, Boznia, Gaza...)

La Jolla Shores is the most dependable shore dive, OEX express is the closest dive shop to it; it's kinda small but you can get air there and rent tanks. The shores is good if you like looking as slugs. (nudies) La Jolla Cove is a game preserve and has lots more to see if the visibility is...

It's real easy to get separated from your buddies when lobster diving, as they will be making sudden stops and detours, and will lose sight of you while looking inside caves and under ledges. I would not recommend lobster diving until you have enough experience to fell comfortable if separated...

I started with a Calypso Mark II or III and a steel 72 that my brother bought in the sixties. Still have the 72 and still dive an AT-Pac that's at least 30 years old; I've replaced the bladder once and the inflator hose twice.

If fish are the same as kittens, is it OK to eat Kittens? That would sure clear the air around my place. MMMM... Kitten chowder, fillet of kitten, crab stuffed kitten.... Garcon, what's the kitten of the day? Would you serve kitten with white or red wine?

As a general rule, intoxicated people make poor rescuers. I would certainly hope that if I was unconscious on the bottom, someone would inflate my BC and get me up to the surface, and I would absolve him of any blame for damages if I came up too quickly. OTOH, I would be pissed if someone...

Second what TSandM said. I know of a very experienced diver in San Diego who died as a result of just that; grabbed a new tank, went down to decompress and never surfaced.

Then male divers would be diving in a non-streamline configuration:eyebrow:

Not all compliments between the sexes are thinly veiled come-ons, unless one is analyzing it on some primitive, id based, reptile brain level. I have complemented many women that I had no interest in procreating with, for both aesthetic and social-cultural reasons (eg. my GF would be after me...

As this was your first dive in warm water, even diving your own equipment would have presented challenges, as you have to adjust your weights for a completely different configuration. It will get easier as you gain experience, and with today's baggage charges, it would hardly pay to bring you...

In my experience, these days women have a dual standard on compliments; if the compliment comes from someone they want a compliment from, they are pleased, if not, they take it as an affront. How they determine which catagory a man falls in is a complete mystery. The exchange of compliments...

Red Stripe, but only because it would mean I'm diving in the Caribbean.:beerchug:

My GF is a lot slower then me, and has a tendency to stop and look at things without notice. Since she won't lead, I have to constantly look back to make sure I don't lose her. I have had to tow her in current, carry her equipment up stairs, clean it after a dive and take care of the annual...

I've known West Virginians who make the colloquial affirmative a six syllable event. What's that about?

Do you also have the manual & kits for the 260 1st stage / Pacer Aero 2nd stage?
