    Average price for a 2-tank dive?

    Price depends on a number of factors. I paid $115 in Rocky Point, Mexico for my most recent two tank boat dive. However, there is only one dive shop for a couple hundred miles in any direction. Locally, $60 or so for two tanks on the lake.

    Fastest way to instructor

    The fastest path to become a GOOD instructor, or do you just want the merit badge? With PADI, you can go from OW certified to instructor in about seven months. That gets you the merit badge. It doesn't get you experience, or more importantly, GOOD JUDGMENT.

    Lake Pleasant Diving

    50's in the Pacific Ocean? One word: DRYSUIT. And since everyone is bragging about their uber polar bear status, my coldest dive this year was 38 degrees (July in Oregon). It's the first time my dry gloves have not kept my hands toasty.

    Fall Dive Trip

    Salem Scuba, where I got certified in Oregon 20 years ago is doing a Coz trip in the first week of November. $900 for 7 nights accomodations, 5 days of 2-tank boat dives, unlimited shore dives, and meals. Does not include air fare (which will be horrible now; we locked in our tickets back in...

    Oasis Divers Phoenix has ceased operations

    The case has not been reinstated, and I do not see any new filing for Oasis (or Amy, for that matter). Tell your lawyer friend he's a cheap weasel. It costs a whopping eight cents per page to view information Pacer, and the fee is capped at 30 pages.

    Legal requirements for divers

    We have a winner! Your student is right. That said, there are state courts that will strike waivers of ordinary negligence as being unenforceable (New Jersey, for example), but those states are in the minority. The majority of states will strike waivers of gross negligence.

    Legal requirements for divers

    That isn't a bad idea. And here I was just thinking of penning a Law Review article on the topic. The Arizona State Bar has "CLE by the Sea" at Coronado every year. I don't think it would take much effort to get contributors for a "CLE Under the Sea" seminar. A tad more expensive to go to...

    Legal requirements for divers

    Concerning credentials: Peter Guy practiced law in Washington state. His state has the honor of being the origination of the Rasmussen case he mentioned earlier in the thread. Alex777 is licensed to practice law in the Cayman Islands. He also does something else in the Cayman Islands...

    Legal requirements for divers

    The California Supreme Court granted the petition for review in case to which you refer, Van Horn v. Watson, 148 Cal.App.4th 1013, 56 Cal.Rptr.3d 272 (2007). The issues have been briefed, and oral argument before the California Supreme Court is set for October 7, 2008 at 1:30 p.m. Location...

    Oasis Divers Phoenix has ceased operations

    When a case is dismissed, the automatic stay of 11 U.S.C. §362 is vacated. Creditors are free to pursue whatever remedies are available to them. In a case like this, the debtor typically cures the defect (files the creditor list and completed schedules and statements), and then files a...

    Oasis Divers Phoenix has ceased operations

    The bankruptcy was dismissed yesterday. Oasis filed a "skeleton" Chapter 7 petition and then failed to file the list of creditors within five days. Unfortunately, a skeleton filing only identifies the debtor, tax ID, address, and very basic information, so nothing concerning assets or...

    Rocky Point/Sun 'n Fun Divers Report

    I made two boat dives at Bird Island (Southeast of Rocky Point) over the weekend with Sun 'n Fun Divers. The operation has a minimum diver count to fill before it will conduct a trip, so I called on Monday to find out how the weekend looked. No one had booked. The op told me to call back on...

    Liability. There are serious legal issues with what has occurred/is occurring. "Clarification" posted in a public forum could undermine a defensive position.

    Recent Rocky Point Experiences?

    I'll be over at Las Palomas. We'll be leaving from RP on Sunday, so we should miss most of the insanity (I hope).

    Lake Roosevelt

    There isn't much information on dive sites at Lake Roosevelt, as far as I know. As others have stated, it's the primary silt catcher in a series of the four SRP lakes, so visibility is beyond horrible. I do not personally know anyone who has dived in Roosevelt.

    Oasis Divers Phoenix has ceased operations

    So it's a breach of a lease. The charming feature of commercial leases is that by statute, the landlord obtains a lien on all property of the tenant placed in the leased space. Of course, the landlord naturally presumes that anything found in the leased space belongs to the tenant, so if any...
