Look at Low Key Watersports on St. John. They run a good shop. Are you on Sea Dream or Wind Spirit? Rachel

Congrats on saving a life, to you all! Rescue is an incredibly valuable course and one I really enjoy teaching and if I ever hear of one of my students doing what you all did it would make me very proud :) Rachel

St. Thomas and someplace else :D Rachel

I have a very nice customer who has shot literally hundreds of hours of video and wants to put short clips up on youtube and is not very computer savvy. I'm looking for the absolutely easiest way for her to just cut down her video segments so there's not unnecessary leading and ending footage...

St. Croix is hosting cruise ships this season for the first time since Hurricane Marilyn in 1995. The diving that the island is known for is Cane Bay Wall which is deep and spectacular according to rumor. I'm planning to go there to dive it myself one of these days! The diving around the...

Not to get all sense-talking or anything, but everything is a slippery slope if you let it be. The x-shorts (rule #6 violation aside) are designed to serve the same function as glued-on/stitched-on pockets without actually gluing or stitching a pocket on while the harness mounted pockets are a...

I didn't even see this thread the first time! Happy New Year or Merry Christmas, or just a plain old welcome back (again). Glad to hear your health issues are resolved and I look forward to seeing more of your posts in the future :) Rachel

Heck, I'm a 4 digit member and pretty proud of that :D Rachel

I was trying to go through the usual DIR deal-breakers in my head and couldn't see how they were an added failure point, entanglement hazard, gear solving a skill problem and although they are a clear rule #6 violation, the rest of the functionality seems to be well in line. Cheers! R

Resistance is futile. R

I found it and I'm reading it now :D Only 8 pages though, weird. R

That's fricken AWESOME!!! I couldn't give that BC away on eBay when I was selling off all my useless gear a few years ago. It's hilarious to me that my entire dive history is recorded for time immemorial here on the one and only Scubaboard :D Rachel <-- off to see if she can find the...

I remember reading that story :D I was being all wistful about the old days not long ago, this totally brings it back. Just for fun, I went back to see if I could find my first ever post on the board and I think this might be it...

You can actually do Newark to San Juan, PR and take a Cape Air hop to St. Thomas (20 minute flight). The Marriott Frenchman's Reef is about 5 minutes to Havensight and 10 minutes the other way to our dive shop. The entire island is on sale with 5th night free packages at most/all of the major...

Crap, now I have to ask... and I don't wanna... Why aren't x-shorts DIR? R P.S. EffOne, I'm working Saturday, off Sunday, feel free to bother me at will.

Please please please please please... don't lie on your medical. There are some things on there that may look rather harmless and you may wonder why we even care but there are other things that can be life-threatening. If you lie on your medical and have some sort of issue, your dive staff...

Will you be accepting graduates of your zero to hero program into the waterman academy to assist with the training of junior high school kids? Rachel

I sent an e-mail to Saba Divers and pointed them to this thread so they could respond if they so choose. Rachel

Just for the record, EffOne is a student who recently completed his training through our shop and we started talking about gear and his diving goals. I dive a DIR compliant rig and was discussing it's virtues with him but since I haven't been paying much attention to the latest and greatest DIR...

I wasn't trying to be rude. Practicality makes x-shorts more appropriate for what I do. I thoroughly respect that your case might be/is different. If $60 per wetsuit made my life better/easier I'd probably pay it but instead it makes my life more inconvenient and prone to error so I don't...
