    Worst instructor ever, please help.

    Agreed. I think we can all mark it off as BS until he gives us reason to believe otherwise Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    What Next?

    DO NOT DO AOW. Do the associated courses instead one-by-one

    Worst instructor ever, please help.

    I think he got contacted by this supposed "instructor" or realized what a serious deal his probably exaggerated complaint was

    Islamorada patches

    I did see something called the Cannabis Cruiser as an actual wreck off Islamorada. Supposedly a boat was smuggling weed into the country by boat, the Coast Guard saw them, and they hopped ship, sinking the ship intentionally with the cargo. Supposedly a very nice dive!

    AquaLung Dimension i3 Bungee cord simply broke

    (Copied and pasted from the AquaLung forum, as that place seems rather dead) Hi, I was wondering if you guys could shed some light on this. The bungee cord on my dive buddy's Dimension i3 just broke right at the point where I suppose the bungee cord is glued into the fitting. He had inflated...

    Weighting for horizontal trim

    I'm about 6' 200lbs and not a lot of it is muscle :). And I don't need ANY weight with my Mares Dragon or my BP/W in fresh water with 4mm shorty, and I can still get by with none in a full 4mm, all I have to do is get negative by getting down deep. I highly doubt you would need THAT much weight...

    Islamorada patches

    Welcome to the forum! Try introducing yourself in the Introduction and Greets Section. As far as these go, I've heard of fingers, Maze, Hamm and Jumping Mackerel. When I was booking my trip to Key Largo the dive shop gave me those as options. I know of a website that may be of help, I'm going to...

    Worst instructor ever, please help.

    There just seems to be too much exaggeration going on. And from the way he types, and his "It was THAT BAD" standpoint, I'd also say he might be a little young. I wouldn't pay attention to it unless he can give us solid, unbiased information. From the sounds of it, he didn't listen to a...

    Practices that could lead to accidents on training dives

    Don't sweat it. This happens all the time. If you think that's difficult now, try doing it with a 7' primary hose and bungees octo Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    HOG or Edge regs?

    And it has nothing to do with the fact they are a fraction of the cost... ;) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    HOG or Edge regs?

    Only thing that stopped me from going Edge and not HOG was I was going hogarthian and was gonna go for a long hose setup and I use DIN tanks. Just the good logical choice. I have no immediate desire to make doubles out of my 2 DIN tanks (but it would be cool) so I bought the singles kit and keep...

    Another "which regulator" thread

    Can't beat a HOG reg with a Yoke adapter. Effortless breathing and damn near indestructible, and you can service your own stuff! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    OW complete

    Congrats! I completed my checkout dives some years ago in conditions much like you described. I had just as much fun as you described, even given the bad vis! Now your next step is to NOT do AOW, but instead do the specialties themselves! You'll get more out of it, trust me ;)
