    All you Brits

    Oh no, I'am Swedish, well great grandpa was anyway. I had a 79 MGB. Spent a lot of time along side the road holding jumper cables in that fun little car. I lived in Bedfordshire for a couple of years in the mid 80"s. I like Newcastle! My favorite was the Whitebread ale though. Never turned...

    All you Brits

    Jonathan, I was referring to what you said in a previous post. "The real reason behind drinking what the rest of the world called beer cold is so you can't taste it!" Lucas Electrics makes the electrical systems for MG, Jaguar, and other British autos and is famous/infamous for not being...

    Jonathan, We all know the reason Brits drink warm beer is that the refrigerators are made by Lucas Electrics. :) Cheers, Bill

    Monterey?

    I wish I could. I have never done a cold water dive and am hoping to get down there next month. I am planning on going through Monterey Bay Dive Center for a guided dive since it will be my first time. Any suggestions/comments? Hope you found someone to go with, Bill

    Buying ScubaPro

    I rented a Mk20/G250 and a MK16/R380. I couldn't tell any difference in the ease of breathing between the two. Nothing scientific, but I was trying to be "aware" of the breathing characteristics. The MK16/R380 is the combo one of the LDS's uses for their rental gear. I bought the MK16/R380...

    What is your Scuba-Mobile?

    2000 Crew Cab F350 4x4 After years of fighting to get the whole family + gear for anything, snowboarding, football, ect.. into a supercab Ranger it is sweet to have room for the gear and people too. I haven't tried backing into the water and doing a giant stride off of tailgate like those guys...

    When did you start your children?

    Thanks for so many well thought out reponses. He has had the PADI training part to their into dive, he just did the 25 minute pool part, not the dive, when we were in Maui last year. He is very comfortable in the water. And he has shown composure in stressful sporting situations, which is not...

    Scubapro Knighthawk

    $540.00 is MSRP for the Knighthawk without the Air2. With Air2 MSSRP is $675.00. The question is if you want the warranty. There is one on Ebay right now that was under $300.00 earlier today, but you won't get the warranty. I guess you have to decide how much the warranty is worth to you.

    When did you start your children?

    I have an 11 year old son who is responsible and smart, one B the rest A's! I am considering on enrolling him for a junior certificate. He is chomping at the bit, and sitting in our pool breathing off of my gear sunk next to him is wearing thin for him. He practices some skills with me like...

    balanced diaphragm vs. balanced piston

    I should clarify. This was warranty service. With SP you get free parts for life as part of their warranty. The bulletin said no warranty service. I asked about used gear, as the owner had just sold on Ebay himself, and he said that he would service used SP products, but would only honor the SP...

    balanced diaphragm vs. balanced piston

    I was at my LDS on Friday and the owner showed me a bulletin from SP asking that their dealers not service SP products bought online. So you could run into problems on the warranty. The whole thing is bogus, as SP is selling their product to DiveInn. What if I was on vacation in Spain, England...

    Are we all poll crazy?

    A Swede did. While I consider myself just American, my great grandfather came from Sweden. Can't touch the Polls when it comes to that sausage, but we can give the Italians a run in the meatball department. Regards, Bill

    Scubapro Knighthawk

    Thanks, I went back to my LDS and was able to get them to come down below $600.00. While I didn't save much there, I was able to get two tanks - SP 95's for $550.00. Still a boat load of $, but I have got everything else off of the net, Regs, Computer, Fins,ect.. so I quess I am doing my part to...

    Which regulator should you donate?

    I understand. I donate my primary and use the backup. Didn't mean to get off track on the tread, but the talk of not knowing if an octo is going to work is scary, but probable realistic. I like to think of myself as cool under pressure, but I am sure that would change in proportion to the amount...
