    LDS VS Internet Sale!!!

    I hope that you meant ROAD rage. The other one is just too painful to think about (Prep H will soothe the rage).

    Skilled diver vs good diver

    To me, skills are individual components. You can be taught skills, you can develop skills. How you use the skills in combination to conduct a dive would lead me to define the "good diver." Someone who can demonstrate superb individual skills, but cannot use the skills in a practical...

    LDS VS Internet Sale!!!

    I just bought a firewire connector so that I could get my internet fills faster. I was too cheap to get the Nitrox version, but I was told that it could be upgraded later. I told a few of my friends about it. They only have a USB 2.0 connector for their air fills. Then they told me I could be...

    Several reasons why I do Trip Insurance for all International trips, and some others

    I believe it is a choice that we should all consider. Separate insurance covers different things. For example, we are covered for lost or delayed luggage through our credit card company. We had to use that a couple of years ago when our luggage was delayed by four days. The airline sucked. I...

    Creaking joints and other parts

    Glucosamine! Holy smokes. That is the stuff we give to our little Yorkie because she displaced a knee. I will have to ask my doctor about that. Weight loss. Yep, but it is sure harder than it sounds. I find that losing those five pounds gained over Xmas is a lot harder now than a few...

    Fee for 2nd checked bag on US Airways and Delta?

    Can you please come to my place and teach my wife how to pack for a trip.:blinking: I can get all of my dive gear plus some clothing into a single bag. My camera gear takes up the carry-on. I then have the small "personal bag" thing for essential stuff.

    Creaking joints and other parts

    OK, Over the past few weeks those nagging joint pains have started to get a bit worse. I think that it must have something to do with all of the shovelling of snow recently (that is my story and I am sticking with it). I could understand it if it was just one of my knees. I badly injured...

    Post Your Pretty Funny Stuff Here

    To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine.. and those who don't. As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria. In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end...

    Should PADI change Advanced Open Water Diver Standards?

    Do you really mean to compare GUE and NACD with AOW instead of OW? AFAIK neither offer OW.

    Calling all GOD’s: Keep the Kids Out

    Or, if you are really concerned I would bet that the mods could set up something like they have in the women's forum so that there is no mistake. A big banner that appears something like You are among the GODs in their forum. Exercise Caution. Then again, this could be a good reminder to the...

    Should PADI change Advanced Open Water Diver Standards?

    Then name, specifically the "Advanced" part is what generally seems to attact the most attention. I see a problem with changing the standards, but not the name. If there is a substantial change in the standards to make the requirements more demanding, those with the current AOW certification...

    Accomodating inabilities

    Lasik surgery. My arms must be getting shorter as I get older because it sure seems that I have to hold the SPG farther away to read it.

    For the "Golden" Divers on the Board

    The lining inside my hat says "the older I get, the better I was." Normal is an interesting concept, sort of like "average."

    Deconstructing Avatars

    It is cold here in the winter. My first name is Ted. Only a few select folks, my parents, called me "teddy." Simple reference: cold, bear. Besides, if any animal can look that relaxed on the snow, I want to have the same sort of outlook on life.
