    Marking your lobster for a dive boat cooler?

    You could name them and teach them to come when called. Who would argue with that? ;-) Seriously though, I think a colored zip tie around the tail would work really well.

    ATA vs ATM which is right? Need to know for magazine.

    ATM is atmospheres, but ATA is atmospheres Absolute. In other words, 33' of water is 1 ATM of water but it is 2 ATA because of the 1 atmosphere of air above it.

    Knife Sheath

    Looks good. Only issue I see is if the blade rubs on the rivits which will dull the edge. Other than that it looks great.

    40% O2 mix at the safety stop

    It is only recomended that one of those two classes be an online course. It can be either one. If your flight class is online then you want really good bailout skills and if your bailout skills suck you better know how to fly.

    A question about knots... (figure 8 > bowline)

    I don't know how long or if you can, but I'd grab a 3' runner and 2 carabiners and clip in in under 10 seconds while I watch you attempt to tie strange knots one handed. That probably isn't the best place for a bowline. But then this is a scuba forum and not a climbing one. :-)

    Why backward?

    If they fell forward they would land IN the boat. :-)

    Doubles, Weight and Dry

    Your logic is seriously flawed. If I'm wearing double 130's and a SS plate I am already more negative than I need to be. Adding a weight belt and MORE weight only makes me a dirt dart. If I already have TOO MUCH weight, how can ADDING MORE be better? This reminds me of the Army's rule of...

    ? on back inflation

    Everyone that I have seen having the "pushing you forward" problem was trying to float on the surface with their arm-pits out of the water. Put in enough air to keep you on the surface without finning and where the water comes to your chin.

    Blowing O-rings, am I doing that?

    I don't know about your area, but here they aren't "blowing on the first stage". They are blowing water off the dust cap before replacing it on the first stage. Still not necessary but not as strange.

    Should an Instructor have to pay for a boat trip if he/she is taking students?

    How many people do I need to take to a Hertz car rental place before I automatically get my free loaner car? If I load the family into the car and I decide we are going to a particular restaurant do I get to eat for free? If I purchase 4 tickets to a ball game, or a theater, or a movie, do I get...

    Might try a sleep study. They wire you up and can tell a lot about your sleep patterns, or lack thereof.

    Why bother with GUE fundamentals?

    There is nothing DIR about me but if you handed it to me I'd probably end up dead. I had to trim the mouth piece on my snorkle because it caused me to gag. Give me that huge honking thing and I'll never get a breath from all the choking and gaging. I bring my pony any time a buddy has one of...
