We have been diving mixed team ( MCCR and OC ) for a couple of years now. Pros. - Cost, Yes you have to carry all that expensive gas as Bailout, however we all hope you dont need it.. So even if you bail out few times a season yours still ahead of the game. Depending on the units, Our mixed...

Solar powered backup lights? Usually when i need my backup light the Solar energy just is not around :D

We stayed in 2007 at the Holiday Inn sun spree, It is a 3 min walk to Pelican Pier where we dove with Unique water sports. There Dive boat would pick me up and drop me off at the pier. I am sure if you can fill there boat they would be willing to pick you up by boat at a local pier if possible.

I recently wrote both exams and each had answers to its specific training manual. Now i did take the courses using the 2009 training materials i can't comment on the older 2001 materials used until recently, which some instructors/shops still are phasing out.

The Vis started to drop this weekend however still some decent diving going on. Water temps where 49 at depth, Visibility was sitting around 20 feet, and still lots of fish up in the shallows. Couple of shots taken by Scott, Hopefully he will start handing off the camera so he can model...

After just getting my order of reels and some new line... i hope not :D But then again... never enough reels, line and goodies.. i could order more.

Always shoot Raw... That is the first thing i tell anyone when working with them in photography. One thing that will work wonders for most photographers including underwater is the WHIBAL CARD Ideally you are going to shoot RAW and shoot the card first, Stick it on a lanyard and hang it from...

Felt great all week.. NO issues or side effects of any sort. Got into see a Pulmonary specialist, all is good and got the okay to get back in the water. Got a nice dive in to day 70 feet, 50 mins 50 degree's and completed our dive with no issues and felt better than ever.

There is a reason that a entry level consumer camera has the ability to shoot RAW... If you chose Jpeg /Tiff or any other format over RAW so be it. However please don't suggest that it is at all same as RAW or that the JPEG compressions are even close to what the lens really see's.

This all changes when you get into decompression / technical diving. There are no buttons to push when your computer craps out and your stuck with a timing device and your tables :D

Same here, I enjoy taking the picture and being able to display what i seen, Not what the camera thought i seen cause some sort of lighting got in the way. I have been professionally shooting for many years and i can tell you that when SLR's went digital with RAW... Shooting in RAW...

You can not compare RAW to Jpeg. Simply put the JPEG has been processed to look how the CAMERA thinks it should compared to shooting RAW and processing it to look how it actually looked. For allot of work, Jpeg is fine however a RAW file will give you much more to work with in terms of...

Yea it did , it was a gear box that exploded and killed several. He over seen the operations of all the mess's when in the service ( Officers, Junior ranks and NCO's) when he retired they made it all public sector jobs and closed everything down and he was made the mess manager of the "Mess"...

Yup.. When they shut down CFB Toronto and made it all civil contractors he decided to retire instead of going through another posting due to some family issues at the time.

Honestly even the calculations, once taught and you understand what formula you use for what calculation its not all that hard... My hardest part was getting the formula straight :D

LOL, Couple of years with doubles coming out our aholes!!!! :D

Congrats. I spent all my life growing up on both cost with in walking distance to the water ( Father now Retired Navy) yet someone how he got posted to Toronto and then decided to retire here!!!! Oh well.

Honesty, By the time you get into your nitrox course you really should be pretty proficient with your tables. Which agency are you doing the Nitrox Training with? If anything i would suggest that the Calculations required for nitrox is much harder than use your tables :D
