    Has anyone used a Home Equity Line of Credit to purchase dive gear?

    Here's what I did- I called up Halcyon, told 'em how good I am, and that it would be in their best intrest for them to just sponsor me. Well...it worked. The UPS man shows up at my house about twice a week will all kinds of new free gear with the big blue H on it. Here's the best part yet-...

    help with doubles

    I can loan you the $35.00. I'm giving the OP the info on what he can expect to pay in the retail market. Perhaps you should go the the trouble to give him the EXACT figures, quote him a price, include shipping, and then deliver him a full set. Hopefully, since he is internet savvy, he will...

    My Wife Thinks I'm In My Office Doing the Books...

    My calculations for this set of doubles is out in my truck, It's COLD outside and I'm too lazy and warm to go get them right now- so I'll have to just "ballpark" it for you. This rig is about 104 to 110 lbs in actual weight. If I remember correctly- with the tanks fully charged it is 35 maybe 40...

    I now pronounce you plantiff and defendant.

    In all honesty.. the best dive related gift is CASH. I've never seen anyone frown after opening an envelope stuffed with bills, or a big check.

    My Wife Thinks I'm In My Office Doing the Books...

    Thanks. In all reality my wife is up to speed on everything that I do, but...on that particular day she was under the impression that I was in my office doing the AR.;) Hey, it takes silence, solitude, and a steady hand to thread the isolator between a couple of heavy ass HP steels. A mans gotta...

    What do transport equipment in post dive?

    3 RubberMaid tubs and a HUGE Russell Athletic rubber lined Jym-bag do the trick for me. The tubs go in the back of my truck and the water-proof jym bag goes in the cab.

    Nitrox Spare Air

    Please don't take anything that's been said personally. Lot's of us here love to razz on the spare air, I know I do. :14: Look at it this way, if you were diving with me... then I have your emergency gas supply, and 1/3 of my doubled 119's would give you about 79 cu.ft.. I like those odds a LOT...

    Pros & Cons of Using a Full Face Mask

    Ok , I could deal with that. Thanks amascuba. Clearing dosen't look like a problem, it just might take a little more air than a regular mask, but that's not a big thing.

    Pros & Cons of Using a Full Face Mask

    I think the FFM question does belong here in this forum, as I recall GI3 mentioning that JJ often used a FFM during deco. The OP might want to ask about FFM's on the Quest List. I doubt that I could ever Equalize in a FFM. I just don't see that happening. I have to pinch both nostrils closed...

    Leaping rays in Mexico?

    I've seen one adult Manta jump like that and it was quite impressive. I'd estimate the one I saw was maybe 4 meters wingtip to wingtip. Baby Mantas...I've seen them get to playing and jump more times than I'd care to count.

    Cavern In Doubles?

    I don't think so, but I really don't know. That particular tank had a VIP about 90 days prior and had been filled about seven or eight times prior to the O-ring extruding. Granted the tank had been riding in a rack on the back of my truck for 300 miles, it wasn't hot and nothing had hit the...

    Thumbing a dive without a thumb?

    Don't worry about it. I heard he was hitch-hiking to the dive site. He'll never get there. You wont have to dive with him.:)

    SDI-how recognized?

    SDI most certainly does teach tables. It's part of the OW written examination.
