Show it to whomever wants to see it, and let the individual viewer take from it what he wants. Knowledge, ghoulish thrills, the feeling that the practice should be outlawed, whatever. I'm not sick in the head. I just think we all make our own choices. And to do so, every bit of info usually...

Great news. What a wonderful way to end the week.

Great news. Seems like I'll be buying sooner rather than later. Name your brand, Gary. COntinued prayers for continued progress.

I enjoyed the Nimrod Explorer. There was a thread on it here, so do a little digging and read others' experiences (From what I recall, they were all positive). While in Cairns, I spent a half day ww rafting (Fun, if you get the right guide and boat) and another half day quad-running up a...

Great news! Send me a pm (or do it publicly) with some info on how I could purchase a raffle ticket, or where I could send a small donation. At the very least, I think it would make me very happy to chip in for some beer/bubbly for Gary for the celebration WHEN your friend is released from...

Looking forward to part 2. My guess on the Light Cannon (I also have one, and it suits me just fine) is that it was a bad bulb. Sometimes they ship with them bad. Mine did. Took it back to the shop, and he just gave me a new one, put it in, and the light worked fine. Bulbs are pricey...

Point taken. Sunny and warm today, water appears to be calming. Probably gonna do a night dive.

Typhoon just passed through. Water churned up, and it's cold and bleak out. And, to top it off, the volcano a few islands up is erupting, spewing sulfur and ash. So, to recap: Life in the tropics currently feels like Wisconsin in late May and smells like Gary, Indiana.

I would advise against throwing this dude in the Mississipp or in the Everglades. Let's be serious here for a moment. If you tried to drown this guy, some other poor Dive Rescue team will get stuck having to deal with him. He sounds like the type who would write up the divers for not...

Wait until your kit falls off your kayak. (Happened to me once). But I wouldn't have my students do it.

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not, in any way, a professional rescue diver. I am a recreational scuba instructor and I dive often (shallow and warm, with viz never lower than 40 feet). I cannot fathom (no pun intended) that a bunch of uncertified (one certified, hasn't been in the...

I generally do shallow and warm (and now realize I should carry more stuff more often) but I have: whistle on bcd that came with bcd: never used pocket mask (for rescue breaths) : only used when teaching rescue class and my common sense. When instructing, I throw in a knife, because PADI...

Please dont' think that any of us have forgotten your friend. I check the Board every day for an update on his condition. Good luck, and please stay safe.

No change. I'll hit it hard this week.

Either Speedy Tertle or Stingray will do you fine. On Rota, try Dive Rota.

I know we've never met, but from reading your posts, I kinda get the impression that a bad note in your file wouldn't bother you too much. Seems to me you did the right thing. Please don't let the small minded keep you from keeping us safe. Prayers to your colleague, and I hope your '05...

The father not wanting the shark killed is noble; after having lost a son, it shows great understanding and more thought than I would have were I in the situation. But, money talks, and it is the state that will lose gazillions of tourist revenues if this (these) (whatever. something's gotta...

I'm game if you're still accepting members.

There are two types of people in the world. Those who dip, and those who don't. Decide which one you are, and then BE THAT PERSON. By the way, I quit dipping (kodiak) the day I graduated college in 1997. Every once in awhile, I'll see someone doing it and figure that I could probably bum...

I hope you get better soon. I've been out for about a week with swimmer's ear and a bad infection. So I feel your pain. Wishing you many safe dives in '05
