Maybe a SMB and Whistle should also be added to her gear!!!!!

I think providing positive reinforcement was the best thing you could do. I also believe the more time his big brother spends with him the more likely he is to do well(since he wanted to be a diver like you :).. I have taught many kids but only a couple that have completed on-line academics...

Several of the posts Texasguy has made on the board could be construed as trolling.... but we keep responding :) Cheers, Roger

I started doing this when I bought my first Horse Collar, I continue to either do it or have someone do it to my gear after each day of diving.... 95% of the time I use my manual inflator hose to vent the air from my BCD while diving, so I inevitably get some water in the bladder... 99.8% of...

In my and most folks opinion that is an adequate period of time between no decompression dives and flying.... The problem really becomes how uncomfortable your husband is with the idea of flying 23.5 hours after diving, and if by having that dive profile he becomes a bad travel partner.... If...

I first solo dived in the mid 80's when I had to prepare a navigation challenge course for some Dive Master Candidates.... I remember being scared to death and hyper cautious...... Now I do it for pleasure as I live a 3 minute walk to the beach and leave some gear 25 meters from the water...

I sometimes carry a third light but usually just a Chem light as the third..... My Night Solo diving is almost exclusively on a wall so very little nav required and I plan my dives around minimal slack tides..... Cheers, Roger

Moalboal in Cebu has several "very good" snorkel site most are relatively easy shore/walk in dives (except at low tide). We also have at least 3 "very good" dive sites that are easily accesable from shore. We have many more good dive sites mostly available by boat entry... We only have one...

chrpai, I will assume that you are asking a serious question, many many many items are counterfited in Asia(clothes, purses, shoes etc etc etc. I MHO the reason for waiving of the fee is two fold, 1. The customer has already paid for a minimum of 8 certs at least 5 of them being to PADI. 2...

No they all have to be PADI Specialties.. Part of the Marketing strategy :) Cheers, Roger

No, you can not teach SCUBA with 50 dives and a card. The discussion is about the PADI Master Diver Certification which recognizes the fact that you have the following: PADI Open Water Cert or another agencies equivalent rating PADI Advanced Open Water Cert or another agencies equivalent...

Sure, as a provider of dive tours and continuing education in SE Asia, when I see someone that has a Master Diver Card, I can "usually" be confident that he/she has knowledge of basic rescue skills as well as has been exposed to several different types of diving... I am curious why did you...

I would like to compliment you on your keen powers of observation :) .. Cheers, Roger

When I have someone show me the Master Diver Card, it indicates to me that he/she is an experienced diver who can fend for themselves.. It also indicates to me someone who has decided that they usually have no interest in going pro and are really in the sport for fun.... This is my opinion...

If she is adventurous enough the Philippines is chock full of good snorkeling.... the major cost of her trip would be in airfare and accomodations as snorkeling from shore is essentially free... She is welcome to contact me or any of the other active Philippine members.... I have been all over...

I have had a lot of experience with Florida Marine Patrols as well as their counterparts in several states and countries mostly while fishing but also while diving, the vast majority of my encounters have been positive and left me thinking what a good guy/gal doing a ****ty job. I have no...

If you are looking for places to stay in Moalboal, you can check out CABANA or Sole Mare both have same owner... If you like, You can pm me for details. Cheers, Roger

THose are soft corals which are exposed during low tide... Cheers, Roger

Sorry to hear about your Dad, but it sounds like you guys had good times at Greers Ferry. What a great place!!!! Hope you still get to dive the lake now and for another 20 years... I have spent lots of time on Greers Ferry as my Grand Parents had a Retirement Home on the lake which they spent...

As you already noticed, even knowledgable experienced divers will provide you answers which are 180 degrees out from each other. In my opinion you should be breathing normally(as you described). In my opinion you are not holding your breath, nor are you practicing Hypoventalation/skip...
