Pilot Fish, this is really nothing more than an attempt to bring a very heated and charged discussion into another forum after it has been closed on the original forum. Let it go already. If it didnt include the post title I might have accepted you just wanted to share something new and...

Yes, at least one person did.

I just swam around in the bay for about 5 minutes with it off. You know before you took up Scuba you probably did most of your swimming without a mask =). Isnt it strange how quickly the mask has become, I am blind without it item? I also had same feelings of panic the first 3 or 4 times and...

Okay so it sounds like she at least needs to try the dry. I have an associated question though. On my first 6 dives I used a bc with a full wrap-around inflate, when I bought one I went with the back-inflate as that was recommended. I spent a significant amount of time (well as in most of the...

Okay hopefully I can get some answers on this one that will change my mind about the drysuit. I have over a dozen dives (yea I know) with divers in drysuits. Every single diver claims that the drysuit is much better than any wetsuit they have every dived. They claim that its is warmer and...

I refer you to my first post in this thread as to my opinions about PADI and Instructors in general. The following posts were a result of the interaction between myself and instructors and others that chose to respond. My last post was the result of the responses recieved before it. For the...

:shakehead Grateful Diver either you really dont care to listen or your reading comprehension is just not up to the task. I did not say you made $100.00 per hour, I said you over-value your worth if you think your worth $100 per hour. Read slower The three classes I listed are not part...

:no I Have never said Instructors should work for free. I have never even implied it. What I have said and what most of you here have confirmed, is that you grossly over-value your worth ($100 per hour??). I charge $68 and I dare say I am considered a professional (hmm charge less, make more...

No chance, no way, not for at least 100 more dives. Even then Id ask if that was enough first, LOL. The thought of seeing a GWS out of a cage scares me and Im sitting at my computer 110 miles from water. Yea, I know, they really would prefer another meal type, Im just not really interested in...

Quote: "You are.. if you received the typical OW training, you are lucky to have learned on your own faster than the odds were chasing you but how many newly carded OW divers could react fast enough to a stuck inflator to keep from becoming a polaris missle?" End Quote Yea, I deal with people...

Man I must suck at asking questions or the questions are just ignorant and therefore do not deserve a response? =) I was thinking of purchasing a Spare Air for that unforseen disaster kind of thing. However, if I can CESA from "X" depth safely anyway it reduces the value of the purchase. If...

?? Anyone speak english here LOL. :huh:

I asked the question regarding CESA to SPARE AIR not because it was the best solution. I would think the extra tank would be best solution =). I was just curious about all the math. If you can ascend from 130' to 15' on a single breath of air exhaling the whole way would the SPARE AIR...

If your considering an OW class, gratz and welcome to diving. Know this and read this thread carefully, until you have at least 20 dives you have no idea what you even need to learn in diving. You are a risk to yourself and everyone around you. You may have bouyancy control, you may know your...

If you can ascend performing a CESA to the surface from a depth of 130' with a single breath of air, humming all the way (question, not statement) could you not also perform a CESA to 15' then use a Spare Air at deco stop?

Thanks for the info. =)

Hello everyone, thanks for the information and the great tips on North Coast dive sites. My wife and decided to take off Sunday and drove up to Gerstle Cove (Marine Preserve). I must say it is dam scenic up there and the diving was fantastic. The cove is pretty small but easy to get to...

WALL OF TEXT BELOW, ADJUST EYES FIRST Well I have enjoyed the discussion, sorry for the late post, I was diving this weekend =). First off and foremost in my mind. I feel for you I really do, If your going to even attempt to compare yourself to an electrician and your comparissons of...

To clarify Im not talking about your own gear, strange that you would think I should pay for that.... I dont know abou the insurance thing and if you pay for it, I would wonder about the LDS you work for. If your talking about insurance for yourself I would again ask you why you think I...

Travelodge on Freemont now has one less building (party fire from what I heard). I have stayed there 4 times. Only one time did I get to sleep through the nite lol. Does have nice facilities for the diver, sink and two showers and divers rate. Also in case you have noticed the rental RVs...
