There is a difference swimming your own rig down and trying to hold down a boyant object and i know you know that so i am not trying to insult you there. What are the chances you could grab your buddy who just lost all there weight and has already started there accent.. I mean it might be...

It all comes down to the situation, I was just stating that your post was about a panicked diver, Who chances are would be over weighted to start with.... Compared to a diver who just lost all there weight and depending on how much weight that is and what kind of buddy they are diving with...

There is a difference in chasing after a panicked diver and being able to assist with there decent by deflating of fighting to deflate them compared to a diver say as myself when i first started diving with 40+ pounds of weight on a belt. You drop that kind of weight off your self at depth you...

Assistance is what you would get if your alive on the surface, If someone where to lose all there weight at depth the odds of staying down are next to nothing... Now its one thing for your weight belt to come lose on you and holding it while your buddy wraps it around you again. However if...

Recreational I ascend at 30 FPM till the shallows then tend to hang out a bit more 1 min @ 30, 20 and 10. I watch my computer and BT for my accent rates.

Don't dive equitment that could possibly fail as such. Personally i dive 24 pounds of weight in a single tank and 20 pounds in my doubles. - 12 pound plate - 8 pound V-weight ( Doubles ) - 12 pound STA single I always dive a Dry suit and have a 50LB liftbag so the failure of a BCD is not...

What kind of diving do you plan on doing? Fins - You want something that is going to give you the power when you need it, yet the agility to move about with in a wreck and not be too cumbersome. For this I dive both the OMS Slipstreams and Turtles. My preference is the Slipstreams nice and...

depends on the year, I try and get out 2-3 times a week so i would say 150+

I have been looking at these. Amazon.com: Coleman Dynasty Table (30 x 60): Sports & Outdoors

If he just closed up shop... Make an offer on his compressor, never the less there should be enough interest from locals to get fills to keep enough money coming into to maintain it. Chances are if he is going to continue to offer education and repairs he might keep the compressor running.

Oly, You made it clear you don't care of the outcome, You have been told over and over they will not discuss it in the open forum. I would assume you have sent your details to Zack and he has put you in contact with their regional sales manager.. As you said they have been removed from...

It all comes down to a personal preference, If you do a dive plan and review any OOA or failures prior to the dive and feel comfortable the person is going to be there for you... Then why turn down the opportunity to dive. Also don't be afraid to thumb the dive should you hit the water and...

I dove with Fly n Dive the first day there and had that complaint boat was schedualed to leave at 8:30 i got to there for 8am no one showed up at the boat till almost 9am and we never left till like 10... I understand we are on vacation time however when i promise my wife i will dive the...

I am not one to argue the Deep air debate.. being a student of GUE myself.. However i do feel their is some benefit to the two courses taken together, while planing dives within Recreational depths.

Don't get me wrong i am all about the Best mix for the dive; be it bottom gas or deco gas. However the OP was saying they have no issues doing deco on upto 40% and wanted to know if there was any other benefit to the Adv Nitrox course which there really is not. Now if they where going to...

Helium?? In the advanced Nitrox course?

As said you are pretty much going to lose out on the opportunity to deco out on higher percentage of O2.

Not to mention its a fast way for a Supplier to drop you when they get non stop calls from other shops bitching that they are getting there throats cut daily!

Go into a shop expecting to pay MSRP.... And when he charges you his reduced rate... You can come out GLOWING!!!

Many people forget to take into the account the overhead involved with many of these dive shops. Dive shops don't make their money on courses or air fills they rely on the gear sales to keep them in business. Many manufacturers require a minimal purchase to even get stock so then your stuck...
