I see no actionable QA items for PADI to respond to. I do see that the dive shop you were going with has issues and I encourage you to reach out to the management and staff of that dive shop and register your complaint. You can also use TripAdvisor and also name the dive shop on social media to...

Molasses Reef, Looe Key Reef -

You can get windy days anytime of the year. There is no way to predict whether July or August would be calmer. Night dives in Key Largo typically have excellent visibility.

Hah, for sure. Often when I surface from a cave dive other cave divers ask me "How far did you go?" My answer is always "All the way". o_O

When the source gas (In your case O2) pressure is below 300 psi it takes at LEAST 5-6 cubic feet of drive gas to boost 1 cubic foot of source gas. That number may be as high as 7:1. I always stopped boosting when the source gas dropped to around 300 psi. The booster gets hot as hell too.

I used 1/2+ 200 many many times at Little River, Devils' and Madison back in the 1970's. It was an acceptable gas rule long before the CDS existed. I am not advocating for that rule now. But it worked and we had acceptable reserves when we surfaced.

*IF* you ever decide to go "Tec" you will not want retractors. They are bulky, they create an unacceptable entanglement hazard. Oh, and yea, you will look like a stroke with a retractor. :laughrant: Boltsnaps are he way to go.

I'd eat it too.

I see it -its dated Nov 2004.

I have not had that happen.

I shipped the tail cone/motor section today. Florida to Washington state. $117.00 and seven days for delivery via UPS.

Roger that, thanks. In all the DECADES I have had Silent Submersion DPVs, UV-26 and UV-18; I never had one drop of water in any of them.

MY BT got 2-3 inches of fresh water in the tail cone. The water was in there maybe an hour. It does not power up. They are having me ship it to Washington State for diagnosis and repair. I don't have a warm and fuzzy feeling about the prognosis after reading this thread.

That pretty much says it. Post things that people are interested in. Engage the community. Random crap posts in old threads do not make you a welcome poster. Res ipsa loquitur

Took 5 seconds on my iPhone 15.

Welcome to SB!! Enjoy Florida's warm water.

Best burrito I have EVER had.

Two Shearwater computers whether solo or not.

Talk to the dude again and see if you can do both the e-Learning and also get the books. I am a PADI CD - doing it that way should be no problem.
