    Do you consider Discover Scuba to be safe?

    I have heard of and seen dive ops (won't name names) that have taken DSDs to 40-60ft in the ocean on their first dive. Safe? Not in my opinion. Will they keep doing it? Sure, until something goes terribly wrong.

    HOG D1 Mouthpiece on 2 Sets of Regs Torn after Two Dive Trips

    Juuuust out of curiosity here....these regs are all the rage on every single thread. I'm curious as to why a normal mouthpiece can't be fitted to these things. People want to replace them under warranty or send them back? For a mouthpiece? Is it THAT proprietary of a mouthpiece or have these...

    Things to know before buying tanks

    Sounds like those ops are a bunch of :turd:s I've never seen an op play scuba police with air pressure to 1000psi and I certainly would love to see their reaction if they asked to see my gauge (which has never happened). Maybe they do that for the people with low SAC rates to match try and...

    Advice for going from DM to Instructor

    That is true. AI can only be done at a 5 Star (or 5 Star IDC) by an IDCS or higher.

    Scuba Diver Caught Smuggling Drugs Across U.S.-Canada Border

    Well the U.S/Mexico border is strictly guarded and under surveillance and look how well that's working out. Even fences and a river don't impede anyone and that's 1,951 miles compared to that 5,500. The U.S. won't be to worried with Canadians crossing over. Why would you leave free healthcare...

    Scuba Diver Caught Smuggling Drugs Across U.S.-Canada Border

    That was my first thought. My second thought was wondering why he bothered in the first place. His origin and destination both allow medical marijuana and from the people I know who live in medically legal states it is really easy to get licensed. Street value drops enormously in places when...

    new sandals in Grenada

    I've written on it, as well as several other people. Use the search function and you can always start here: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/lesser-antilles/457162-grenada.html Diving is great. I can't comment on the Sandals because I would never stay such a place.

    Beware of Silva Fox lobster boat

    AWESOME!!!! Does your unicorn have a rainbow coming out of it when it flies around too? Sometimes if I get lucky it plops out fresh hamburgers. Those are great days :D

    ATM Warning

    Never heard of a card skimmer? They're neat little devices. They go over where the card is inserted into the machine (these can be used on gas pumps too...anything with a card reader). They look like part of the machine but are actually attachments. You use the card and skimmer scans it. You can...

    What does an annual cost you?

    They're relatively new. Give it a few years and we'll see how the numbers add up. I sure wouldn't buy a regulator that would need to be replaced frequently. I've used the same Mares reg for 11 years and haven't had an issue (and had it serviced once, for fun, and for free). So Hoggy Style is...

    Does sex tourism in Thailand/Asia mean greater number of 'pests' in diving there?

    Seems like most of the sex tourism these creeps are into is about prepubescent boys. At least that's what you always see in the news...

    What does an annual cost you?

    HA!!!! It's funny you say that. I used a Mares MR22 1st stage with Abyss 2nd stage. Didn't service it for about the same amount of time, maybe a bit more, and it worked flawlessly the entire time. Had it serviced by our tech just for fun. It was in great condition.

    No Diving Experience Rental or Purchase

    Student issue. Thanks for asking. They always rinse our gear. Some screw off and forget about dust caps and all the other little intricacies. Any other instructor will tell you the same about students being hard on gear.

    What does an annual cost you?

    Oh Chair Pie I don't listen to anything you have to say after your little hissy fit about moderators. Yeah, I don't carry Hoggy Style. I don't see what's so magical about them and from what I've read here they are easily repaired or thrown away. Seems like everyone is a little carried away by...
