That's a really sweet deal. And Dubai really is an impressive city.

Liar. I've read this board long enough to know that can't be true. ;)

Yep. Hotel rooms, I believe, are limited to First and Business classes...but they put us up at the JW Marriott Marquis. Quite an impressive place and they put you in a car and deliver you from the airport.

Definitely Dubai. I can get you the contact info for a tour company and a very knowledgeable private guide if you like. We did about four hours and saw the old city, the palm and the markets in about 4 hours. Well worth it. Where do you plan to spend the night? Male...um, no thanks. It's as...

Sharkskin is a much higher quality product. We had Lavacore seam separation and fabric pilling issues immediately. So far, the only problems with Sharkskin is that, in the latest batch, their logos are peeling off. You'd think that would never happen.

You can if you fly out of general aviation.;):D i pick my commercial seats when I buy tickets and they'll tell you the aircraft they PLAN to fly...but that's not always the one they DO fly. Haven't flown a Dreamliner yet but would like to...

Dang. Wish I'd known that first. Now moveon.org has my contact info. Never thought I'd sign one of their petitions. Maybe we should start one to ask United not to suck. I sure miss Continental.

It's always interesting to hear what "the buzz" is. We're a business. We're in business. I did retire but found it to be boring. I had forgotten how much work it is to start and run a business, but that's what I've always done. I suppose that, if you weren't successful, it wouldn't be so much...

Well the goal, see, is to expand the market--exponentially if possible (and it's possible). It's kind of like that ol' spend money to make it thing. Or maybe I'll just give up. But I won't, we'll just keep improving as we learn and grow our markets as best we can. We started with nothing and...

Sorry, I wasn't clear. By vendors I mean scuba shops (what the manufacturers mistakenly see as their customer). And yes, obviously the ads--if created by a single manufacturer--would feature their gear. The LDS info would appear at the end of the spot. We have two stores and use the same ads in...

They could certainly afford to do it as a co-marketing opportunity with their vendors. It would be easy to do a fairly generic piece and just tag it with a store name(s) and run it regionally. Just think, if a manufacturer and a few local stores all pitched in, voila!, you've got a professional...

It's one of our television ads. We do TV but manufacturers and agencies don't. It's hard for me to grasp, except they really don't do ANY marketing to support their vendors.

Or you could stop talking and do something to drive traffic... Go all in - DiVentures Scuba & Swim Center on Vimeo

Welcome to legitimacy, Mark! Seriously, it's great to add more Midwestern divers to the scuba world. You are gonna LOVE salt water, my friend. Dive often, dive safe.

To each his or her own. My challenge would be determining which gun I'd choose to use.;) As to the "warning shot" issue: no one says that has to be the first shot, right? I'd prefer to have completed the job and take the time to carefully contemplate a safe trajectory to imbed the requisite...

Pretty common on the Philippines and really pretty safe. We've done it multiple times. But you're right, your bank's charge is excessive.

Mean damn fish. Poster kids for "don't mess with anything."

Sorry, not in Florida. However, if you'll email to remind me, I'll send you ours. I'd recommend running it by a FL labor law attorney, but it should be more affordable than starting from scratch.

We're still here, seven days a week and paying the bills. Everyone is welcome to visit and, if so inclined, help us build the industry. My offer(s) have never changed and never will. Let me know. Omaha is beautiful in February. (For those who may not understand sarcasm, that's an out-and-out...
