    scuba questions for school project

    My 12-year-old son just completed a science fair last week with scuba as his project. He was certified last year. He did a great job setting up a display board explaining the bulk of basics of diving including theory and gear. He brought in his equipment and had it as part of his display...

    The great big, all-inclusive Leisure Pro note

    I have made multiple purchases from LP. I had one faulty piece of equipment, a quick connect that leaked for an Aladin Air. I sent it back and they sent me a new one, it was about a week and a half total time. Rent a couple different regs, you will find some that breath easier, but for the...

    Potential eBay dive gear scam

    I won and paid for a PlayStation 2 on Ebay. The seller had over 80 positive feedbacks. The seller never sent it and would not respond to emails. But... I paid with my credit card through PayPal, called my credit card company after three weeks and they credited my account the amount of purchase...

    Scubapro Knighthawk

    Just checked Ebay's completed items and 1 med went for 400 and another for 355. While I would like to try a BP/Wing I would probable just want one and that is not in the picture right now. It is nice to hear your reluctance to sell yours lal7176. I value mine more than 350 – 400 and will need...

    Scubapro Knighthawk

    I wouldn’t pay over $400.00 with Air2. About a week after I bought mine at my LDS one went for under $300.00 on Ebay. Someone will be doing the Knighthawk-Ebay-BP/Wing route and you can get a good deal. I am very happy with mine, Bill

    Anchored boat story 1

    Hey Pug, Luck you weren’t a little further south. Down here off the coast of California scientists drag large cut-outs of seals to attract white sharks. I wonder if they would be attracted to a Pug dangling behind the boat? Bill Sorry to use Pug and Dangling in the same sentence. :D

    HUMOR: What your Automobile says about you

    I had a running deal with the a local shop to trade beer for little parts like switchs, ect. Also a lot of time spent alongside the road holding up jumper cables. Wish I would have kept that car.

    FTC Followup - OK Dive shops, who's upset?

    I don't get it. Why is it necessary that my LDS can't charge what ever price they want and still maintain their status? Obviously SP doesn't care what DiveInn charges and they maintain their status, why not US dealers? I know this is old stuff, but I have never seen/read an justification for...

    FTC Followup - OK Dive shops, who's upset?

    True, we are beating what seems to be a dead horse, but it is a constant source of frustration as long as you are buying gear. As I said before, according to my LDS they are not allowed to go below a 10% mark down off of MSRP. They say they will lose their dealer status if they do. Bill

    FTC Followup - OK Dive shops, who's upset?

    Only if I shop online, and I would rather shop at my LDS. Nope, you are assuming that volume will remain constant for any given price. Case in point: My LDS wanted over $200.00 each on two regs over DiveInn. I would have paid $40.00-$50.00 more each, but not the $200.00+ each. So...

    Kids & SCUBA Materials ????

    That is my point, in order to be certified the student should know what the word equalibrium means and how it applies to scuba. The student should be responsible enough to learn the vocabulary, and the instructor should be responsible enough to ensure their student knows the vocabulary/concepts...

    Kids & SCUBA Materials ????

    They should not simplify the text for children. They should have the cognitive ability to understand the current text if they are allowed to dive. Bill

    Scubapro S-Tek Steamer 7mil Observation/Mini-Rant

    My son had the similar problem with the Henderson Goldcore. It is suppose to be slick, but would just stick. He had a real problem getting his hands and feet through the sleeves and legs. I read somewhere on the board about putting nylon socks on first. We use a pair of hiking "liner" socks...

    Report on my Steel LP95

    Does you bc have trim weight pockets in the back? If so pulling some weight from there and putting it lower (on a belt or intergrated pockets) may help also. I got the same deal on 2 SP95's at the first of the year, love em! Bill
