I'd say the more pertinent question is how much diving are you looking to do? If wife doesn't dive then she's going to be awfully bored...

Another good point there. Speed in getting to compressions, AED, or hopefully an ambulance, is wayyyyy more important than ventilation by itself.

Have you seen the movie Phone Booth? After Colin Farrell dismisses the pizza guy and the phone rings. The sniper, played by Kiefer Sutherland, says "Isn't in funny? You hear a phone ring and it could be anybody, but a ringing phone has to be answered, doesn't it?" Farrell says, "What?"...

It is pretty rare in my experience. Repeated exposure, especially to salt water, to those masks will wear em out pretty fast. I'd go with mouth-to-mouth sans barrier in a real world scenario. For the people overly concerned about disease I'd say I hope you were taught mouth-to-snorkel. I...

What innocent, well-protected, straight-laced individual came up with that name and then turned it into the acronym T.W.A.T?

I don't know what's more annoying...New accounts that don't search the board and ask the same laundry list of questions (PADI vs. NAUI, anyone?), or the new accounts that start at the beginning of time and then revive old threads. If my daughter had been in 3rd grade when this thread started...

Then you must be hard on gear. I've used the same Mares MR22 1st stage for 12 years and it works perfectly (without even being serviced regularly). I've never had a problem with it.

Outside the economy (yes, some people can't afford to cert and get their kids certified...must be some well paid folks on SB), the big obstacle we see with kids tends to be schedule. We've got one right now in the class who is hardly available on Saturday confined water sessions because he's...

Yeah I'm a size 12 shoe too. But you know what they say about guys with big feet. I wear big socks.

If you are into dudes from Nigeria then you should have no problem

^ Agreed. Why don't you just stack on 200 lbs? I can't believe there are such behemoths actually diving, but, apparently there are. ---------- Post added October 2nd, 2013 at 04:54 PM ---------- P.S. - I'm 5'11" and 165lbs. I know what you are going through.

Try the title "BARRETT .50 CAL WORLD RECORD 6 SHOTS IN 1 SECOND! (M82 M107) Jerry Miculek - YouTube"

I didn't "sing praises" about Slide Fire. It's not built well and is simply a lead throwing toy. I certainly didn't sit here and say anything about "setting world records" with it. If this .50 speed thing is a real record, it's a dumb one. That's about like the record for how many hamsters you...

That dude is a complete tool. So he can pull a trigger fast. Big deal. Let's see him put down headshots from 800+ meters.

I follow the lines of, I get 17 peas in my Glock 17 9mm and when one goes through your forehead or eye socket you really won't know the difference between that or a .45. In law enforcement we'd shoot for the chest (twice) before a headshot. That was back when I was on duty. Now, if I had to...

Exactly. Just toys. Typically poorly built and very, very hard on a firearm not meant to cycle that quickly if you use that toy a lot. From a tactical standpoint they are a waste of time. A few well placed shots will always be more effective than 30 spray-and-pray shots. The Desert Eagle AE .50...

Walther P22s are garbage. I had one with a suppressor on it. Was awesome until the slide flew off and drilled me in the chest because a piece broke and it went past the slide stop and off the frame. Turns out they're made out of pot metal. Only had a few hundred rounds through it too. I would...

This makes for some laughs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrImp-ek3bI

:dance:

Wow. That's extraordinarily outside of standards. I wouldn't be surprised if PADI expelled the store plus the instructors in it for that stunt. Probably happens more often than you'd think though. Sure makes for better profit.
