All you need is one of those waterpicks, some ajax and the Binford 3000 waterpump. Rewire it! :) Joe

For up to 40%, all of them are. Joe

I used the sleeves when I first got my DR plate but every 5 or so dives I had to pull webbing back into the arms from the belt. After I switched to the keepers I have not had to make any changes and have not seen any additional wear on the webbing. Joe

I just pee in my buddies suit.;) Actually we have had really good results from soaking in water and mouthwash. Joe

LOL. It's funny because it's true. :) Joe

How does that work? Your old socks will destroy anything on contact. I'm surprised federal law doesn't require something more substantial than a ziploc baggie. :mooner: Joe

Congrats! Joe

If you are properly weighted you will be heavy at the beginning by about 4 to 6 pounds and will end the dive neutral. If you are sinking like a rock, don't let out so much air from the BC. Only vent enough that you start to sink when you exhale. Joe

Not true at all. Loosely connect the clamp to the D-ring around the tank, pull the free end of the strap slightly snug and lever the clamp closed. All done. No need to wet the strap. No need to memorize how to thread the blasted cam buckle. I can take off a 72 and put on a 95 in about 5...

If an instructor fails to follow standards and someone gets hurt then the agency is in the clear because they set rules that were not followed. This seems to be the case here except for the injury. A bit different, but if the standards are what lead to the injury then the agency would be...

Richie made that same joke when I talked to them at a show earlier this year. As he was signing a poster for me I told him Danny was too good looking for the part. Richie looks at me and asks, "How many S's is smart@ss?" :D Joe

That rocks! Joe

The paperwork would have only consisted of a waiver/medical release. There would have been nothing stating an age requirement. The OP would have no reason to question a minimum age unless he knew ahead of time there was one and he wasn't given any reason to believe there was until the agency...

Be sure to try it on with the suit. You do not want to limit your mobility. Besides, it isn't a fashion show. The objective is to stay warm. Now if there is so much extra material that it is causing mobility problems that's a different thing. Also, depending on where you will be diving...

Because they are the ones that made the mistake. If he took a class then there was a student folder that included age and date of birth. If the instructor or shop assumed anything of the sort they were blatantly wrong. NAUI does not publicly publish its standards. Every instructor on the...

I'll second the Neurologist. An Ear, Nose and Throat Dr. is generally going to be a bit out of his league. Joe

From: http://www.house.gov/transportation/aviation/06-05-03/06-05-03memo.html Subcommittee on Aviation Hearing on The Aircraft Cabin Environment Cabin Pressure FAA regulations requires a cabin-pressure altitude of not more than 8,000 feet at maximal operating altitude of the...

I've never had a bad pony bottle but I have had many bad buddies. Joe

I disagree with that. Where are we supposed to be leading these 2 students on their excursions if not at OW? Read that standard again, I will as well, but if I remember correctly the description of what a TA can do is almost identical to an AI except for ratios. I remember nothing at all...

Sounds right to me. I only see them saying to perform the buoyancy check with an empty BC. I don't see any mention of doing actual descents by totally dumping the BC. Exactly. Being NAUI, PADI doesn't listen to me very often. ;) Again, there's a difference in a buoyancy check and actual...
