I try and rotate couples as best I can. I RARELY, if EVER pair adults with their kids unless its a private class, and even then I'll try and bring along a DM to be the kid's buddy, in addition to a DM to help with the other aspects of the class. I've found, as a general rule (yes, there are...

Wing is open; provided you aren't an idiot, which I know you're not. So yes, Wing is diveable

Gonna dive with us on Saipan first, right Marpacifica? Wing Beach is open for the experienced....

I don't really know what to say other than I'll be praying for you.

This has the makings of a very unfortunate ending.

Thank you very much, Mr. UP. From what I've read, it's your birthday today too. Happy Birthday, Uncle Pug!

but I just found out that turtles do it in the ocean. Today, my birthday dive, I dove Temple of Doom outside the Grotto on Saipan. Midway between the Temple and the batcave, I saw a medium sized turtle swimmin my way. Turned to get my buddy's attntion (kinda diving "same ocean buddies"...

I found a really skeevy looking danforth anchor on my very first checkout dive in Wisconsin. The instructor let me drag it back. Got it home and gave it to a friend with a boat. He cleaned it up and it looks great. And he uses it on his boat. So I understand the feeling, UP. BTW, I also...

Dennis, Joe and I will probably be heading to Palau in September. Start planning. I guarantee we'll have more fun diving than Dale, but since he's sharing a cabin with two young cute canadian physical therapists, I can't vouch for more topside thrills... That *******.

Just taking a flyer on this one, but my vote is "No, White's doesn't seem to be right on this one." My reasons, and please correct if I'm wrong: I checked Whites website under warranty here http://www.whitesdiving.com/index.php?id=31 (I don't know if there's more than one "Whites" who...

Et tu, Marlo?

Dale, you make me sick. First, you jet off to the GBR without inviting me, and now this. I don't know how I'll get even, but mark my words...... Seriously, have a blast!

Glad all ended well. A question about the underwater crawl. I wasn't there, but I suspect you may have made it tougher on yourselves than you had to. I've been in some fairly rippin currents, and am always amazed at how well you can scoot against the current with a finger or two on each hand...

Nothing to add but condolences to you and to those who will miss your friend.

no kids yet (one on the way) so take this for what you feel its worth. As an instructor, I gotta vote 'no' on the tether idea. If you don't need to have the kid on a leash in the parking lot, you don't need him on one while underwater. just make sure he can keep focused on you, and within...

C'mon back, Marlo! Any Time!!! But not now. It's FREEZING. Grotto dive yesterday and the water was 82 deg. Quite chilly!

yep. Ours was a bit stronger, with the epicenter 60 miles north. Incidentally, the captain had no clue until the first divers returned, as he couldn't feel it on the boat. He immediately radioed the [insert someone in some government agency, I forget who] to determine if there was a...

Funny!

I usually get the "fellow instructor price," and just have to pay for the c-card. :eyebrow: Actually, there were a few Instructors in the water (counting me) and it was kinda nice to have them there. Were I the only instructor, I would have been worrying more about everyone else, and...

I don't know if this should be here, or in the Australia/Pacific thread, but I'll put it here and see if it gets moved.... This weekend, I tagged along on a boat dive through the LDS. A customer called in sick, and the shop was gonna get stuck with the fare, so I hopped along for free...
