    Looks like the reflection of the wreck.

    Ahhh...SCUBA humor. That was a pretty convincing foot!

    Choosing Between Various Nitrox Classes

    If there is an SDI shop in your area, you can do the academic aspect of the course online and then go into the shop for the practical aspect. Just another option. Just searched the TDI/SDI website. You have a shop in Novi that is a SDI Dive Center. http://www.miadventurescuba.com/

    Your favourite specialty courses

    I don't know if you'd call rescue a specialty course, but for me that was by fun the funnest.

    Mixing Unbalanced 1st Stage W/ Balanced 2nd

    Page 8 of Vance Harlow's SCUBA Regulator Maintenance and Repair 'Upstream and Downstream The valve seats used on SCUBA regulators come in two flavors; upstream and downstream, depending on where the movable side of the valve seat is in relation to the flow. If it's on the HP side, then...

    Diver conservation/safety questions for paper I'm writing

    I think skydivers are a much younger and much fitter crowd. I would compare skydivers to rock climbers. I don't think skydivers to SCUBA divers is fair. The only close analogy way be equipment inspections, pre dive/pre jump. I agree. Not a bad idea. I've seen this done about...

    Diver conservation/safety questions for paper I'm writing

    No. Of course I would like to see more, but it general I think they do an OK job. PADI has their AWARE project and whenever I get my SDI/TDI newsletter there is usually some argument in there about conservationism. They promote buoyancy skills and relate how that can impact reefs. They could...

    Mixing Unbalanced 1st Stage W/ Balanced 2nd

    Should be no problem. You just can't mix a down stream 1st with and up stream 2nd, i.e.- a poseiden 1st with an Apeks 2nd. Someone else will have to chime in on the unbalanced 1st with the balanced 2nd. I suspect again no worries because the 1st is going to provide the largest change in...

    Don't Buy Bottled Water! Pass it on.

    And not to mention that those filters don't degrade that well either!

    Educate me, back inflating BC vs. Normal inflation

    Your profile shows your fairly experienced. So what would you do if you had to rent a BC down there? You'd dive it if it were jacket or back inflate. I'd be more concerned if you buy it, don't like it and then use it for a week. I guess you could e-Bay it.

    What would you do if this happened?

    We'll the bank has the title to the car. The last car we bought. We went in and did the whole sales thing. We filled out a lot of paperwork and put down a deposit on the car. A few days later they called us back and said everything was squared away at the bank. We went and signed the loan...

    What would you do if this happened?

    Wow. I had always assumed that when you bought the car, signed the papers, titled and registered the car it was a done deal. One month later seems odd though.

    Don't Buy Bottled Water! Pass it on.

    Who still does this? I would say littering is not irrelevant at all. I can throw a bottle into the storm drain in front of my house. Run down to the creek. Watch it leave the storm drain and float down the Herring Run in the Back River into the Chesapeake Bay. There is nothing stopping...

    Fundies Pass/Fail

    Wasn't really implying anything or suggesting you should give it up. If you fail, learn from your failure and take it again. Your question really sounded like 'hey I'm not a diver yet and I'm going to take Open Water, but if I fail can I take Rescue diver'. The whole crawl before...

    Shore entry without fins

    It is real easy if you have springs on your fins as opposed to traditional clips that you may need to tighten, so on so forth.

    Fundies Pass/Fail

    My question is why would you want to move to the next level is you couldn't pass the previous one? It sort of sounds like you want to live up to your user name.
