Believe it or don't! It's true.

Turtles are far less buoyant than Slipstreams. (Or should I say more negative :) )

LOL. Guess you've never read V-planner's Disclaimer :) I think it's hilarious! I'm sure Ross won't mind..... ********* WARNING & DISCLAIMER ********* This V-Planner generated dive schedule could indirectly kill you. The author does not warrant that it accurately reflects the...

So what you're saying SBS is that since there isn't time to get basic weighting down, they shouldn't do it at all. I agree that how they did it in your class is typical it didn't do you any good, and other than saving time (time you paid for BTW), this really was a diservice to you. This is as...

OK, good. Just don't go rushing the purchases. One more word of advice if I may. Once you decide what you want, don't let them talk you out of it because it's more of PITA (or whatever) for them to get one for you. Man, that happens. Get what you want, not what they have. If it's really that...

I'm a simple guy here Phil, break it down for me. The first order of preservation as far as Padi is concerned, is Padi. This is as it should be. My thoughts are that Padi's little brother and cheap labour is the LDS. Padi also knows that the LDS can'tmake ends meet on the price of the...

Because they set you up so well the first time? I see the problem now. Whatd'ya say you hold off buying anything until someone with a clue can talk to you and explain just what it is that might be worthy of purchasing, and why that might be so. Go home, do some homework, give it the sniff...

Easy, easy Einstein, let's not get crazy talking rediculous like that. I also agree with Terry here. This will do nothing with respect to online gear sales and the saving of the LDS in that regard. Much ado about nothing.

While I would defend the ideas of DIR and GUE down to my last 10bar, I think it's hilarious :D What am I missing? I admit going into it I don't think 1 Congress-person is worth a whole lot, but we have members of parliament up here anyway, and they might be worth a loonie if you put a toonie...

Yep, until it falls down your throat accidentally, and chokes you to death. I also believe the same thing with just about any dive. (Any idiot can fall off a boat, land on the wreck below, and turn around a make it back). Unless of course you mean just one lick just isn't enough......in which I...

I can assure you if you asked Dany to dive this thing on a single tank he would say thanks, but no thanks. He's not really interested in taking single tank ALU80 bounce divers to the wreck. He is more than aware (obviously) of the idiocy of such a venture. In his own words, 'I've seen too many...

If you're looking for hassel free diving with the trip details taken care of for you my bet would be on Tyler Bradford. He sets the charters with Dany or JP. If you're looking to save a few bucks on a DIY then just contact them directly.

If I was dumb enough to ever have done such a dive. You need more hair on your chest than I'll ever have to do such a thing, just for the sake of a thrill. ;)

Ask the hero's you dive with now. Evidently they have so much more ability than most here, I'm sure they'll give you all the info you need to know. I feel like such a loser, I live 4hrs from you and I've never heard of this guy nor read this book.

Welcome to Padi training my friend. Congrats on surviving,..most do but I can't figure out how more don't given how poorly most classes are run. I guess you can't get proper and safe training when the Instructor doesn't have much of a clue either. CheatinDeath, indeed ;)

Uhmm no I won't, actually. But I don't fight fires in 104's either, and I'm positive if I wiped out and landed on a reg with those baby's it'd be pretty nasty and would certainly bone a whole lot of gear...........vs just an isolator............not that I have any experience with...

Nothing is more of a waste of time than learning what someone else could have easily taught or told you is or is not a good idea. It is wholely a waste of time to make error after error as a means of learning when there is no need to have done it that way. Making errors on a chess board is one...

While I agree with you entirely, the real world application on Padi vs. the rouge instructor leaves a ton to be desired. I've been invloved with enough of these BS "diver safety is paramount to Padi" QA's to know they can rarely make a proper decision let alone discipline in a way that prevents...

LOL, you know Brian, that's Padi's definition, as well as theskull's, evidently :) Alway enjoy your posts and presentations bud. Skull: I've seen 'average skills', and they're the ones that give me cause to keep divers extremely shallow because they are simply NOT safe. I have no idea what it...

Oh you're so bad :rofl3:
