    Question Which video light?

    That's too bad. Yes, I'm seeing the same problem. Using that site, I went with Kraken as a brand. As I use my camera setup for documentation for underwater archaeology, constant output is critical.

    Question Looking for Dive Shops in Greece, Croatia, Montenegro & Turkey

    I would reach out to Vassili, tell him I sent you, and ask him his advice. He's a really good guy, but the laws for diving in Greece is something I am not intimate with. My last diving there was participating in an underwater archaeological expedition with government archaeologists.

    4th Cruise Ship Pier Approved along with Mantaraya Development

    I wish governments would look at the impact of cruise ships have had in various ports of call. Venice and Santorini come to mind.

    Best Destination for 15 year old son to get certified

    @TeeSpeed Have you investigated any dive instructors/shops in any candidate locations? I'd also consider who teaches open water neutrally buoyant and trimmed. That's a rather important consideration.

    What would you do? AITA?

    Well if the dive operator didn't put it to a vote of the paying customers ...... KIDDING!!! I'd like to discount or refund, but I'd really be more concerned about the health of the person with the medical emergency. So I'd be willing to eat it. Question for everyone. If you had an important...

    Review Diving the Avelo System

    So unless you are exclusively a vacation diver and only go to dive centers with the Avelo system, what is the point? You have to master buoyancy otherwise. And you need to master buoyancy in case of failure. So why bother? For those who have made the effort to properly weigh themselves, do...

    They are a great group. For guiding, never heard of it.

    Instructor taken back to Texas for trial

    Maybe he can share a cell with @Omisson (Ex-NYC councilman indicted on child porn charges after arrest at Miami airport).

    Beginners doing GUE fundamentals?

    While I took fundies, my expectation is that your course will be incredibly intense and exhausting. Try to be well rested and well hydrated prior. But you will be ecstatic in the end as your course will be nothing like you've taken before and will forever change your persecption of scuba...

    Suit filed in case of "Girl dead, boy injured at Glacier National Park

    Was there a civil suit against Snow? @Subfiend would have to answer that. There's a saying in my native Holland that you can't pluck feathers from a naked chicken. Not all of us are legal experts, and @Omisson can't chime in as he's in legal trouble yet again, but we seem to be in agreement...

    The Golden Rule v. Dive Deposits

    There is a jetry going out to the island (or close to it, can't quite tell from Google maps and my memory doesn't serve me). Obviously you can't walk on the jetty with gear. But you could go along it and. It worry about getting run over by a boat. It is a good distance in total, along the...

    The Golden Rule v. Dive Deposits

    And that's a huge loss to the region. His prices were too low and I enjoyed some epic dives for that boat. Big difference between Waadah and anything within the Sound. I'm still kicking myself for not going when a buddy surfaced next to orcas.

    The Golden Rule v. Dive Deposits

    Darn it. Bill shut down. Oh that just feeds my new nemesis! :rofl3: :stirpot::poke: In all seriousness, I would scooter out to Waddah Fingers. Have you tried it? I did find a few posts where you are discussing diving there.

    The Golden Rule v. Dive Deposits

    well, there's a charter that moves his boat from Seattle to Neah Bay. That's 300 miles, but he is running amazing trips in the summers. Best diving in the state. Reasonable refund policy. It really comes down to the person running the operation.

    My descent into becoming a RAID instructor...

    So one of the reasons I advocate people seek training from RAID is their more rigorous IDC/IE process and their objective performance requirements for skills, something the industry sorely lacks. I recently learned how the students are more involved in the QA process where they have to sign off...

    Coolest/Most Unique "Finds" While Diving?

    Chunk of rusted out metal from the Mentor, a brig that sank in 1802 carrying antiquities stolen from Greece. What it will be after all the corrosion is removed, who knows?

    The Golden Rule v. Dive Deposits

    and that is a completely reasonable policy. I wouldn't hesitate to sign up on your boat. And if we get blown out, I'd treat you for dinner that night.
