    Dan Insurance Not A Deal

    If you are a home owner, it would benefit you to check with them to add an "All perils" rider on your equipment. For all my scuba gear and camera equipment it costs me $54 a year, this covers any type of loss what so ever. I can tell them I ran my stuff over with a car, covered. Mysterious...

    Belize in March

    Me and the wife stayed at Ramon's on Ambergris Caye, just at the south end of San Pedro. It is a little pricy, but I strongly recommend it, an Island atmosphere with town activities and more a very short distance away. They have there own diving operation and can hook you up with all kinds of...

    I am truly sorry any person has to experience what you did. You will always be remembered by that family, wether you have contact or not, be proud of your actions, they were truly remarkable. And as several others have stated, it is now time to take care of yourself and family

    Day 1, without cigarettes

    Hank, That has not yet happened to me, but I'm the type of person that very rarey remembers what I dreamed the night before. I do find that talking about quitting and/or cigarettes is when the urge will conjure itself up, even if someone just asks me how it is going (with regards to...

    Day 1, without cigarettes

    I laugh everytime I read this thread, eventhough I know what has been written. And now I have the attention of two scuba-gals :eyebrow: Anyways, 42 days now, that would of been 840 cigarettes or $210.00, so 2 weeks ago I purchased myself a used xbox, I have always been a video game junkie...

    Diving health

    bwerb, I cannot agree with your ideas enough. If you take a good look around and start to really understand what is going on socially and politically, ever so slowly, each and every one of our rights are being removed. For example, we have no right to not wear a seat belt without fear...

    Day 1, without cigarettes

    Well Penny, It has been 8 days now and I am very confident, that this will be a permenant change in my life. I only used about 6 lozenges, out of the 72 I bought, so I guess I wasted about $40.00, oh well. I have discovered the subtle soothing effects of Altoids :thumb: We have not been...

    Day 1, without cigarettes

    I appreciate all the encouragement, it's been 36 hours without a cigarette and so far so good. I believe this is the longest I've gone without a cigarette since 1991. I have noticed that I seem to get a hunger stimulation around the time of my "normal" cigarette schedule, but I understand...

    Day 1, without cigarettes

    Well, I made the decision yesterday after 24 years with a 1 pack-a-day habit, that today would be my first day without cigarettes, so far it hasn't been too bad, but I do feel some urges to smoke. I do have the Commit lozenges and they do seem to help keep the edge off, but they do not...

    Is leisurepro.com the best place to buy?

    My assumption on this, and everyone knows what assumptions do, ids this is advertised pricinig. I have some relationships with some manufacturer's and their reasoning on "price fixing", is that if the retailers start to have price wars, then the retailer's margins fall so low that they will...

    Is leisurepro.com the best place to buy?

    My LDS will not budge from selling at MSRP. Yet the owners drive around in brand new H2's. Now try and tell me these LDS owners are not making money. I try and support them as much as I can afford, accessories, service, air fills, etc..., but I am not going to pay 20 to 30% above "street...

    Hooked in Curacao

    Green Bay, I was at the Breezes this spring also and we always went to the right off the resort dock, the DM's told us that was the better side, so I don't know why they went to the left. There is a fairly large storm drain channel that dumps in to the let of the dock also, so that has got to...

    Just quit smoking

    Congrats to those that have quit, keep it up. As for myself, I am a 37 year old 24 year 1 pack a day smoker (I did quit for 3 years when at college), unfortunately my parents are smokers from the day I was born, my two older brothers are both smokers and the other "SMOKE" smokers, so they...

    Need someplace new.

    Tim, Me and the wife (non-diver) are thinking about heading to Costa Rica in Feb. On the Pacific coast, I understand the temps are colder and the underwater topography is rocky not reefs. But the chances of pelagics are very good. Plus, there is a tremendous amount of bio-diversity up-top...

    Relocating to Guam?

    Otter, I was stationed in Guam from 1987 to 1988, I know it has been awhile, but what I remember is this. There are certain elements in Guam that do not like presence of the US military on "their" Island. There were certain sectioned of the city that was off-limits to the military. But a...
