    Question for the Masses

    Instructor is more important than agency. I use my navigation skills a lot more than I use Nitrox. Nitrox can extend your NDL, but as a new diver you're not likely to get this benefit yet, unless you are just fortunate enough to have a very low SAC or RMV. I know Nitrox sound all...

    feeding fish and marine life

    If you think about it, we, as fishermen, have been feeding fish for a long, long time. The only problem that fishing are causing may be overfishing. Now feeding apex predators for sake of tourism, is another story. They will associate the area and divers as an easy source of food and a...

    Question for the Masses

    NO2? Nitrous Oxide messes you up a 1ata, let alone 3 or 4. :D You'll learn the effect of N (Nitrogen) in your Deep Class. Out of the classes you just listed, the Navigation course would be worth it. Navigation is covered a wee bit in your OW class. The classes that you just listed a...

    Question for the Masses

    How about you just get a bunch of dives done over the upcoming season and take FirstAid/CPR and some sort of O2 provider. You've got access to a fair amount of dives that are >100fsw in SC. Depending upon where you want to go with your diving career, I'd suggest doing different specialties...

    DM test

    Or maybe we should switch to the metric? I would make the math a hell of a lot easier. :D

    active status instructor

    To me it sounds as if the OP is asking if SDI/TDI has a 'pro check' database?

    Diver Recertification

    As Diver0001 finally pointed out there is a SCUBA Review for certified divers that is offered by most, if not all, recreational dive agencies. So I say let's go for some personal responsibility here and the certified diver is responsible for deciding if they need a refresher. As for...

    Hawai'i Passes Shark Fin Possession Ban!!

    I gotta say, that is just a back assward way of doing things. I know it is how it is done, but damn. I imagine it will be easier to change Section 7 (if I remember that is the effective date section) of this bill than to put a new bill through.

    PADI Rescue Diver

    The course involves academic and practical exercises. Typically the academic stuff can be knocked out in a few hour session, then there is the pool session where you knock out some prerequisite stuff and work through various scenarios, and finally there is the open water section where you are...

    Questions about BP/W Comfort

    I've worn my BP wing with no shirt or exposure protection whatsoever. No problems.

    Which BCD for a Girl

    BCs designed for ladies will typically be designed for less board shoulders and shoulder straps the are cut to accommodate a ladies chest. A common feature found in ladies back packs is the angle of the hip belt. Mens are around 14 degrees and womens are around 22 degrees. I don't know if...

    how do you practice really basic skills?

    Drop me an e-mail and I'll let you know when were heading up to the quarries. Before too long here it is going to be a weekly occurrence. Check out the various LDS. I know Divers Den on Harford Road is doing something at Guppy this weekend. Most of the LDS well let you 'play in the pool'...

    Free Flow...

    We'll they say that it is a dry sealed reg. You may want to take it to the shop and have them 'detune' it...lower the IP. I've had free flows. First try holding the 2nd stage with mouth piece down and whacking it. If that doesn't work, shut off the first stage. Obviously there is...

    Hobby or Sport???

    I bet that would be a blast to watch! Again, how much liquid lube was involved to come up with that one!

    Hobby or Sport???

    Have you seen some of those lumber jack competitions? They are working wood and carving on a big scale, but I'd call them a sport...a stupid sport, but nevertheless a sport! They call curling a sport...that one I don't get. How drunk were they when they figured out that one.

    Suppose I ditched 38lbs at the surface?

    That is awesome! I just went with the easier route and got a bigger suit. The sun and out and Spring is here...I'm hoping to shed some winter weight.

    what can be considered a loggable dive?

    I don't typically count pool dives. I have counted a couple where I was under for an hour trying to work on buoyancy control. I do count dives that I do in the Aquarium. Right now you are in a spot where you want to show that you've 'logged' so many dives. For me, I've reached a...
