I guess you missed the part where I said I just get voicemail? That implies that 1) I know how to find their phone number, and 2) I actually called it. :) I've been emailing them for a couple of weeks now, and calling throughout the day today just to get voicemail.

Has anyone talked to a live person at PADI recently? I have a problem with the Single Sign On information in my account, and there does not seem to be a way to correct it on the website. Emails are not returned, and I just get voice mail when I call customer service. My account appears to be...

Hey, don't be poking fun at 'my precious'. ---------- Post added March 12th, 2015 at 08:23 PM ---------- Absolutely. Guess I am finally getting old. Fashioned, I mean.

When I got into diving, I was lucky enough to find Scubaboard and find out about backplates. There was one LDS in my area carried backplates, and they bent over backwards to show me all there was to know about them. That shop sold Halcyon. I still dive that plate and wing today, it's the only...

My logbook was lost returning from my last dive trip by the airlines, along with a few more important things. In it were (of course!) my c-cards. Those are going to be pricey to replace - PADI has an extortionate charge for those. I have my computer, and that has a record of my last 180 or so...

I'm looking for some user reviews of this wing. How durable is it, how do you like it, etc. S38 LX Wing w/slots I have a ten year old Halcyon Eclipse 40# already, so comparisons are welcome if you have experience with both. This wing is going to be for my diving buddy.

Don't get me wrong. I think there should be a wide diversity in dive gear, and different shops should carry different lines. Not everyone has to carry everything, or even what I want. I'd even be ok with them saying, "we don't carry that because we have found this other line to be more...

My wife is finally ready to dump her old jacket and move over to a BP/W rig. So for gee whiz we walked into two dive shops in our area this weekend, and asked if they had anything available. The very first question out of both shops was, "Are you a tech diver?" No. I use a BP/W for...

Why have a discussion board if "google it" is the answer to everything? :)

Can anyone recommend a good, reliable, and easy to use CO analyzer? I assume there still isn't a device out there that can measure both CO and O2 at the same time. Thanks for posting this thread. It's a good reminder.

Absolutely. Send me a PM with an email and I'll shoot you the files.

Thanks for the advice John. I'm down in the Ken Caryl area, so A1 Scuba is my closest dive shop. I'm sure you know of them. I will probably be talking with them in February about a private refresher for my wife and I. My big concern, besides going over the basic skills, is to review proper...

Knotical, thanks for posting that. Unfortunately, it's a little too soon for me, as I still have to get my gear overhauled and hopefully back into warranty. And my physical isn't until late January anyway. I am not doing anything until the doc greenlights me. :-)

I am hoping to return to diving this year, after a five year break. My last diving was done on a live-aboard in Dec of 2009. When I stopped, I held an PADI MSD cert with just over 200 dives, all done within a few years. I felt fairly proficient when it came to handling the basics - low SAC...

Just for singles. You'd need a different wing for doubles.

Thank you for all the reasonable responses. We are both nitrox certified. However, nitrox is not always an option. It simply isn't available, at any price, let alone what I consider a reasonable rate to pay. I am not interested in pursuing technical training at this point. I know how to...

My wife has been using an Aladin Prime for the last couple of years, but she's getting so much time out of her tank that the programming on the computer is starting to be a limiting factor. I've started diving 100's to keep up with her, and now we are both coming up due to NDL. We'd like to...

Wait, what? There's a plan? That we are actually supposed to follow? You're kidding me, right? I spent all this money! I can do whatever I want! /sarcasm Idiots are not just in the dive industry, but some days I sure feel like we've gotted more of our share. :)

You can run into those types anywhere, but on a small boat (as a liveaboard can quickly become) it's particularly irksome. I haven't experienced anything like that in my travels, just some occasionally obnoxious people on day trips where you only have to put up with them for a few hours. You...
