PM me with your guarentee of confidentiality (for what that's worth), and I'll forward you the message. The text of the message: "Well... I haven't been following it all... but I think that taking Mike F. on in too aggressive a way you will only get you a black eye. Doug, Mike has...

I've had on for 5 1/2 years, never take it off the inflator. Never rinse it, never blow it out, it works like a charm. I use mine primarily for irritating people on dry land. You should hear one of those things go off in the car. :-) I dunno about decibals and stuff, but that...

I chucked a divemaster off the Singer Island dock for arguing with me about how tank straps weave through a cam band. You obviously have more patience than I. If you didn't buy this gear from the LDS, you should find someplace else to practice (assuming he owns the pool). If you...

Sharks retire there too?

We'll see. This board is still in it's infancy, and Rec.scuba's been around a decade plus. You can only bash PADI and cuss Spare Air so many times. I've quit two moderated boards, when the moderators started pulling the helm over their own way a little too hard. Hope that doesn't...

Not to jam the bandwagon into ree-verse, but define good. Just about everything I know about diving I learned on Rec.scuba, information that I now share here. There's something about moderation that I find stifling. If you ever watched the movie "Finding Forrester", you'll...

Just touch your index finger and thumb, like an OK signal with your fingers down, or how you'd hold a longneck. Do it twice, OO. 40, llll, O. 70, =, O. 700, =, O, O.

Never seen it done that way, and I'd read 5,5,5,2, and think you were narced. :-) Standard around here is to try and do it on two hands, then turn your SPG to the other diver. :-) This is tough till you get it, but vertical fingers are for 1-5, horizontal fingers for 6-9. Two...

Cool! Is that Tebori? Chunk the whole thing over to Buzcutt454@aol.com, if ya would, please.

Thanks, very useful. We need some artist dude or dudette to make a chart on how to signal numbers (such as tank pressure) with one hand. Three signals I use the most are a "T", with a following number, indicating how far out of deco I am, and if I tap my reg, I'm asking you if your air...

For me, thumbs up ends the dive, always without question. If solo ascents are cool, that's pre-arranged. If I'm coming up on deco, I make a "T" with my hands, show fingers for how many minutes. If I wanna go upwards, or anywhere, I use two fingers wiggling to signal walking, then...

He has ... quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- agstreet once bubbled... Popeye, meet MHK. MHK, Popeye. You two guys have a nice conversation, OK ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

I researched it on the net extensively, you should do the same. There are risks... Try "scarification" as well as branding. The same, but different. We had a few bags of frozen peas to put on it when it got bad. While stone cold sober when we started, I'd had a king's...

Me and MHK, we be mates. I've known him for 4 years give or take, and have been diving with him in West Palm. The primary reason I went to Gilboa last month was to surprise him (it worked). I was in one of the first DIR demos ever to be done, and respect MHK as one of the most...

I'd rather be dead or injured. I started diving late in life, and it's as important or more important than any other aspect of my existance. I dive with at least one permanent medical contraindication, and have dived against a doctor's advice many times. I'm not saying you should...

Most of the time, I get nitrox free, or at a reduced price. If you figure your bottom time in minutes, divide that by charter costs, it's really no more expensive than air. I tend to hang around under the boat, as opposed to hanging on the drag line, waiting to re-board, and the Vyper seems...

I download every dive. I stopped logging years ago, primarily because I tend to do most any given dive several times.

Well, at the time..., I had three tatoos, and didn't want to be the painted man, so I thought a brand would be different. I'm not a "peircing guy", although I have nothing against them on others (especially dive babes). I looked high and low for a body mod artist to do it in my area, and no...
