I had a good time with South Florida Diving HQ in Pompano.

I second the clevis pin.

That doesn't make sense unless by "diver" you mean "student". If a PADI diver burns, misplaces or gives away his book does his certification expire?

American Pro is a great shop, but neither of the locations you are looking at need to be guided in any way. Both are very small and very clear water. You could start a Blue Grotto dive blindfolded and find your way back to the exit within 30 seconds. All you would have to do is look for the...

I think you are missing the point of the thread. I didn't see anyone asking what could have been done differently or asking for constructive criticism. The OP just wanted to know if other instructors were generally willing to place themselves at risk to aid a student in trouble.

Ivanhoe?

Since you asked about temperature there is a combined gas law that covers this. P1/T1=P2/T2 where P is pressure and T is temp. in degrees Kelvin.

So Shakespeare was pro touching I guess.

Just realize that it will ONLY conform perfectly to your back while you are in the same position that you molded it in. Also, DON"T make a mold using fiberglass. If you want to make a back mold, make it out of plaster. Then lay the fiberglass into the plaster mold. Watch what kind of plaster...

OP was talking about equalizing his mask, not his ears at that point. You HAVE to exhale a bit for that. It takes so little air though that it should not be a consideration in fogging. Joe

I think I found your problem. Stop blowing so hard. All you need is a small amount of air to clear a mask. Should be able to easily clear 3 or 4 times on a single breath. If you blow too hard the air escapes the mask instead of filling it. Just exhale gently through your nose. Joe

If I could do that I wouldn't need to work out.

Is there a Dork Diver to DIMWIT crossover program or do I have to start all over from scratch?

Sure there is a way to stop it. Grab the neck seal and pull it open. A large amount of air will be released instantly. Sure, it is a bit moist, and maybe not the warmest of options. It does stop that runaway ascent though. :-) Joe

I'm still impressed by a new student with a SAC of .4.

That is very sad news. My best to his family and friends.

Your first answer, "because I was not paying attention to my gas supply", sounds more likely. Just how much longer would you have had at 130' with that extra 5 cuft of air in an 80? 2 whole minutes? Maybe? How could you do that dive on an 80 and have plenty of gas to spare if you aren't...

Whew. Thanks for clearing that up. :-)
