Mike Edmonston did you a favor by not selling you the spring straps with that stupid tab or loop on the back.

Most "tech" instruction will require you have your qriginal straps taped (the dangly ends are notorious for snagging line) or will suggest spring straps. Most folks who switch to springs love them, I know I do. The least expensive springs are made by Manta and they work just as well as the most...

How did I miss that one???:rofl3:

I told ya so.:D I'm happy that it worked out for you.

Let us know how your weekend goes. You'll have a blast swimming that little Mach IV around. You will never notice that it's there.:14:

It will be a lot easier on you if you'll take it one step at a time. If you haven't already done so- get your trim straightened out first, then work on your buoyancy without any other task loading. Spend as much time in the water as possible and just work on your buoyancy while you hold trim...

What I owe to my family is to be who I am. They all know that I'm not the type of person who sits around the house, does a little yard work and is content to watch the grass grow. I need challenges and I enjoy doing things that sedentary people just don't do. It's who I am, my family accepts...

You know, it used to really piss me off every time GDI told me or someone else "Don't be in a rush to your death". Only after I died during a drill did it really sink in that this is deadly serious business and I better get it right EVERY TIME. It would be a major bummer to end a dive by waking...

I know that I'll NEVER forget the first time my team died, but most importantly I'll never forget WHY we died. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cave-diving/203810-one-bad-line-wrap-murphy-wins.html

Thanks fisherdvm. I guess I'll have to swear my allegiance to PADI from here on out.

A photo of instructor #2 would be greatly appreciated.:eyebrow:

Yep, You are very accurate in that observation. I'll be back after the tornado damage has been determined.

That's horse dookie Papa_Bear. One should know what their profile limits are BEFORE they make that third dive, and also know their first deco obligation if they should exceed it by a few minutes. There's no reason for anyone to be narked at 100'. 32% is just too easy to get these days. If...

I had a Tank neck o-ring extrude on a hp119 last September. It was a super bad leak, loud as hell, and it still took over an hour to bleed off the gas in that tank. Knowing what I know now, I'd isolate, and then breathe down the tank with the blown valve to neck o-ring failure. I could get a lot...

I can't stand it anymore. My OW cert is with SDI and I was REQUIRED to be proficient with the use of tables and then demonstrate that proficiency during the written examination. Figuring out my dive computer was as big of a no brainer as learning how to use different dive tables. Come test time...

Well... we finally agree on something!:)

I'm wondering about that one myself.:popcorn:

If you're really serious about having your own business be prepared for quite a few days that are a LOT longer than 12hrs. Your job duties will range from CEO to clean up boy, but it does get better... if you're any good at what you do.;)

I hate those things.:shakehead:
