This course to me would then be a resort Intro to Scuba. No Certification just enough training and practice to complete some resort style or local area dives, to test the waters and see if a full blown course is on the agenda. Obviously a lot of divers are dissapointed with the current...

What sort of class time/pool time/dive time are we talking about?? I had about 6, 4 hour class sessions? Lots of pool time, tread water for 5 minutes, swim lengths under water, above water, with fins without etc and then the OW dives. Instruction should include basic familiarity with...

go Sveta go......Thats some Dentist...:confused:

I got: A high oil temp alarm, a burst coolant hose and an engine that refuses to clutch in......oh ya..... a satelite call to my wife and kids, they sound quite excited and no ice on the lake yet so diving in January may happen:D

I cannot believe that someone would touch your tanks as you exit the boat to dive. I would be very specific that I was the one to set up and verify MY gear. Don't care who you are, cert level or what ever. My gear is my gear. If someone shut me off as I departed the boat they would certainly...

The show was poorly produced and seemed very rushed. There was alot of commercials and the repeating of content over and over was crazy. The later shows got better but still seemed to miss things and jump to conclusions. Take the Queen of Nassau. They say it was scuttled by letting free...

Turning the valve back a quarter turn is common practice in the Marine engineering world and it comes from years of experience. 1. Steam valves would heat up and thermally expand. If opened fully and steam/heat was stopped the valve would cool and jam in the open position. You may get this...

Anyone have any condition reports?? Hoping the ice stays off for a few more weeks:eyebrow:

I am trying to post the pictures of my housing and keep getting a failure to upload? I am outside of any fire wall and I've shrunk them down to a mere pittance of there former grandure. What could be going wrong? I can attach or add pics to any other site:confused:

Point is..... it sank. No sense getting bent outta shape about the hows and whys. The boys on the ships believe they sank it....great. But for all anyone knows it could have been little Adolf dropping a detonator when a depth charge rocked the U-boat that ACTUALLY sank it.... Enjoy the...

Should be a good read, I take anything I read, including this reply I'm writing, as a work of fiction. Newspaper articles only cover bits and pieces, as we are now all over the NET we are finding that documented history is partially fiction and bent into a twist of propaganda, moral...

They should never have been OW certified:shakehead :popcorn:

If they didn't pay attention in grade school they may have some problems but, given time, you would be surprised at what people can figure out. Would you not agree, however, that navigation should be an OW skill. I can see that for the $$ the markets can put out a fluff dive course for...

Thats great except that for alot of the folks who HAVE stuck with it and gained experience and practice from diving: AOW has become a waste of time and money. It is not that challenging but its necessary to throw away time and money to get this card THEY say you need. As I mentioned...

I had over 100 and I took it to get the card. I agree with Howarde on some levels and my training years are done until my boys are old enough to certify. I can't see pouring any more $$ out except to upgrade equipment or dive. If you want to take AOW to a new (better) level then put a...

Speaking as a person who deals ALOT with proper lubrication and corrosion prevention etc I can tell you that the use of WD-40 of breathing apparratus or any rubber parts is just plain silly. WD-40 is a very poor performer as a specific lubricant/penetrating oil etc. It is a general purpose...
