yah? that set ups awesome, Its on bungies so when you strech you can pull them infront to clearly see your mix turn on deploy reg breath then release to tuck back behind you ---------- Post Merged at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous Post was at 12:41 PM ---------- I'm a newbie tec diving is that...

I frog kick 60% of the time and i do it in the class as well. I just find that when only 20-30 percent of your students are interested in it Ill just take them aside *Or set them up with extra pool time* and just work with them! Usually these are the students that want to advance there diving...

Sidemount is more streamline. I have never tried more then 4 bottles though!

if you use bungie when you top mount you can leave about 6 inches of bunngie that streches to almost a foot. So you can pull your bottle far enough ahead you can look at your tag at the top(Or identify your regs ie green/black/yellow/cheaper style) before NOTOXing ---------- Post Merged at...

I'd never buyanything used especially not that old! Especially when you hear stories of OldTimer divers using the wrong service kits to make their stuff diveworthy(Especially in Edmonton) When you can get a brand new coldwater set up thatbreathes better, is more reliable and has a longer life...

Frog kick is a tool its usefull in some situations but not in others. As a PADI instructor its not a required skill for the OW or AOW so unless students express interest for it i don't teach it. I do teach it with my PPB courses though. I also try and add a pool session to the PPB class...

Im thinking it's a weight location/trim problem! I'm not fimilliar with the harness he's talking about but with the Hollis system you can thread weights anywhere in. Also i agree that it might just be a new position for your body. When i teach PPB or if im working one on one with a student i...

lol not the one they posted here, got my threads mixed up. I guess what he's trying to say is its been blown out of proportion online by people saying PADI got sold. PADI has always been owned by a group of share holders and just one persons share was bought! Sorry that was my mistake!

We talked to Doug at PADI and this artical was written by sdi/ssi. One of the private owners sold his portion of PADI to a company. PADI is still owned by several different people. This other company has picked up only a portion of the whole company. This other company has lready invested...

Deep stop must be programmed in at the surface before going on a dive. But as an avid and seasoned Oceanic user I'd advise leaving deep stop off and while you ascend stop every 10 feet for a minute. It lowers your nitrogen faster then making a deep stop

Is this true? Will the products and or quality change??

IMO it doesnt matter what certification you go with your going to have good shops and bad shops, good instructors and bad instructors. A BIG class with out shop is 24 students with 5-7 staff members teaching. Are all PADI shops like that no but the good ones will be!

Yah customs like the boarder patrol lol

All I'm trying to say is you can't say splits are a complete waste for every and all divers! I've already stated I own different fins for different types of dives and as a "skilled" diver I can use splits just as well as most divers can use there blades. All I know is you should be trying...

I'm going to agree to dissagree but with that being said If i know a student wants to get into tec diving or more advanced diving i dont push the splits as hard but if Its an older person who doesnt kick good whos just diving one week a year or people that have had knee or hip surgeries Thats...

lol lets get back to the topic at heand lol Learn on what your going to use! If your never going to use backmount who cares if you know how?

I agree for your average diver thats not a tec or a pro or very advanced split fins are the way too go! I will admit I bought the H!s just for wreck/tec diving but most of my fun dives and OW dives that I'm instructing i use the splits

It's not that hard not to disturb the bottem. I kinda half drank the split fin kool aid but I knew what I was getting into. And the splits served me a long time as a advanced diver and a beginner dm and until I really started getting into wreck/tec diving did I really stop liking them! Even then...

I just double checked the price on your manifold you linked here an the cheapest I could find it not online is $375 and was using staff discount pricing. The bands were about 80 bucks more too. I talked to the distributor and a few other stores around town and the word is it's customs. And...

I wonder if its on the shipping fees from the usa to the distrubitor?
