    Thoughts on website www.adventurehelper.com

    Well, just a cursory glance as I am short on time... Of the sites you have listed I have only dived Blue Hole. I thought you gave it a fair treatment. Biggest problem I see is formatting, your text runs into the pictures and makes it hard or impossible to read.

    What to do when an instructor is out of line?

    By default I have to go with Washington. They are a division rival as well, but they were first team I routed for way back in like 2nd grade or something. And they stink lately so there is no worry about them hurting the Gints...:D

    What to do when an instructor is out of line?

    Ew, the worst game of the year for me. They lose plenty on their own, and in that one of them has to win:shakehead: It is ussually whichever one I need to lose more too:no:

    What to do when an instructor is out of line?

    I'm not that interested in *the story* to bother calling the shop, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people in this thread did just that, yelling and screaming and hanging up. All we can reasonably assume from this thread is: In the beginning of June at Lake Travis, an incident occurred...

    What to do when an instructor is out of line?

    I saw it, and too be honest, it is not proof of anything other than a dive happened. The facts I am supposed incessantly ignoring are almost zero in number. There are no facts, which was what I have been saying from the beginning. Ordinarily I could care less and would have stayed out of this...

    Nitrox Tank Question

    Ahhjejtt. You can't just go off spouting about mystical incantations! This is an open forum and now everybody knows! :shakehead:

    Ascent / Descent - Safety Stop YoYo practice??????

    I will leave it to someone who can explain the physics better than I, but keep in mind that the first 10 meters causes the partial pressure of all the gasses you are breathing to double in all your tissues. In other words the top 10 meters holds the single largest increase in pressure that you...

    Odd question

    Well I am not sure about diving, but your friend must love the Army Corps of Engineers. Before they got involved, well I remember super wide beaches when I was a kid, dredgers were for channels only. Anyway... I have no experience with plugs, but the ones for diving are vented so I must assume...

    Specialty Courses

    I'll throw my 2 cents in as well. AOW and Rescue should be on everyone's list. Other specialties have their place, but IMO you don't really need them, save Nitrox. Even if you don't think you want to dive it, the class will teach you all the gas theory that should have been taught it OW but...

    Know your dive Computer - Add to AOW?

    From what you described in your OP, that is a whole lot of deco from a whole lot of mistakes that IMO a computer class and all the rec appropriate deco training would not have helped you with. Bottom line is that it should be far easier and more effective to teach divers in OW and AOW how to...

    Ugh - no diving for 6 weeks!

    Use that much TP do you? :mooner:

    Solo with a weight belt

    This diver does. Weight belt carries everything the plate does not.

    Ugh - no diving for 6 weeks!

    Oh that sux!! Why do people always do silly things in the beginning of summer? If you need some help and don't live too far away from me (Little Egg Harbor area) PM me. I am not too smart but I am strong enough to lift a set of doubles.

    What to do when an instructor is out of line?

    Nobody is raging over the fact there has been a conversation at all. In fact the vast majority of the raging has come from people who bought the OP hook line and sinker, with zero evidence to back it up. I am more or less amused at how strongly people react to something posted on the internet...

    What to do when an instructor is out of line?

    Oh, I thought you were firmly in the camp that there was "evidence" warranting the repsonses that we have seen in this thread? Someone posted that we can't be sure what happened and you called that "overzealous skepticism". Now you are saying the fact that there is no evidence and we don't...

    Spectators at Incident Today

    Freedom. Freedom means that there are things going on out there that you don't like. But that does not mean people should be restricted from doing them. I think that the laws need to be updated to include things like cameras. People will eventually stop rescuing if they think someone with a...

    Would you still get involved?

    I have been rescue trained, and have used that training to tow in a distressed diver who was vomiting blood and attempt to help further. I answered the poll that it would have no affect on me. Video or no I still have the Good Samaritan Act to protect me, so the tape as "evidence" means little...
