    I like guns.

    Oh, so very close. All but two. SW 639? Not sure where that came from.

    I like guns.

    Just got this S&W M&P spine today. I really like that dark earth finish.

    Goodbye Fiesta Americana Dive Resort

    Personally, I think Coz could use a true 5-star operation...particularly if they carry that into the dive shop. I always like staying at the Presidente but another option (and even further south) sounds good to me. I'm sure the rates will reflect whatever the market will bear, as it should be...

    State of the dive industry post recession?

    What's that you say, Eric? You don't see any scuba marketing or advertising? Is everyone paying attention here? I will tell you that I hear from a lot of people who tell me they see and hear multiple parts of our marketing/advertising/messaging. And many of them are standing in our stores when...

    State of the dive industry post recession?

    Therein lies a big part of the problem. Scuba is no more expensive than biking, golf, mountain climbing, skiing or any of the other sports we compete against. And, IMO, it's far more fulfilling to see the underwater wonders we get to see than it is the back nine, a mountain trail, etc. i guess...

    1,000 Healthy Corals Displaced as Dredging Continues Around Miami Port

    Aaaaaaarrrggghhhhh. Maybe I'm wrong but, to me, this is akin to finding an ancient burial ground on a construction site. Everything halts--costs be damned--and the relics and remains are either carefully and respectfully relocated or the project simply stops. And in this case, we're talking...

    State of the dive industry post recession?

    I see nothing wrong with a parking lot full of BMW's (Lexi, Benz, Audi, Maserati, Tesla, etc.) or, for that matter, pickups--there are some very nice ones out there today--or minivans. But yes, the model, or demographic if you will, is changing or, at the very least, expanding. That's how we...

    Regulators will flood when upside down?

    Yeah. Crazy, eh? Did his checkout dives in Belize and has been diving in a LOT more places than I ever was at his age--even MO and AR--and I really don't get the upside down thing. But at least he dives with me. Could be worse. ---------- Post added June 2nd, 2014 at 07:26 PM ----------...

    Regulators will flood when upside down?

    I've watched my son spend virtually entire dives upside down and he just keeps making bubbles. My Atomic doesn't care what orientation I might happen to be in. Some others aren't quite as forgiving. Yours seems to be broken in some way; service might be in order.

    Airport tip...

    I travel internationally pretty regularly, both to places I've been and places I haven't. I figure that, in some of those places, I probably don't know all the rules but, since I'm in their country, I get to live by them. I'll never understand TSA, even though I have friends who work there. It...

    Baby shampoo *is* the best defog

    Thanks Frank! As usual, you rock (the boat, eh?). I'm just about to order some up myself. As soon as I read the reviews and someone noted that it's "good at cleaning out hair color" I was in. I've been trying to rinse this gray stuff out for years...

    Building more business

    Obviously I'm only here in bursts, but I have a lot to do. We continue to market and advertise (as well as hire and expand) and it continues to allow us to grow. My business partner and our GM were just talking about this again a few days ago. I'm all for a retail organization and we'll work...

    Dang. I was hoping by now that someone would have just answered the original question so we'd all know.

    Promoting Scuba to the Public--Taking the Challenge

    Has anyone here taken a look at John's "teaser" video? It's really pretty good and could actually be used as a marketing piece on its own. I know it seems as if he's asking a lot but, in the big picture, it might not take all that much from everyone to push this forward. It's refreshing to see...
