Should You Tip Your Flight Attendant? Frontier Airlines Is Encouraging It

Unfortunately, I have to go to Canada next week after being in Baltimore last week and back to the NE after Canada. And none of that includes diving.

In my opinion, comparing Cancun's safety to cities in the US or any other country isn't relevant. What I care about is the relative safety (and diving) between Cancun and Cozumel - as I make my choice where to spend my time and money. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the local populace of Cozumel...

This. We just made our first trip to Cozumel on a direct Southwest flight to Cancun. At first we were thinking of just staying in Cancun and diving there instead of dealing with the bag drag. I'm really glad we changed our mind and did it, not just because of the superior diving off Cozumel...

Did that diver finally do the dive and say it was worth it? I certainly hope so.

Our good dive buddy had his first three tries cancelled due to weather, twice while he was driving to Galveston. That prevented us from trying, but it's still on our list.

A lot of your questions are answered on their site: Have You Ever Wanted To Learn To Scuba Dive. Come Check Out Lake Longhorn In League City,Texas For Lessons304 I haven't been there, yet, but I may check it out.

Nice pic, Merry Christmas to you too.

Last month with a strong El Norte, we rode the ferries. As sefuchs said, they do rock quite a bit.

There's a creek that enters the river just upstream of the 1st tube chute that has a pool area about 12-15' deep. It's real close to Hinman. The rest is about 6' deep, but with the recent rains it may be a tad deeper. It's excellent buoyancy practice, especially for dry suit, since it's so...

Assuming that wasn't sarcasm (which I can appreciate): For PADI OW we're doing 4 dives with BCD remove and replace on the surface. Here's what PADI says, "After your confined water dives, you'll head to open water, where you and your instructor will make four dives, usually over two days."

Interesting, I haven't seen that (except for DMCs) and do PADI OW classes regularly. What year was it published?

I don't mind at all. I felt extremely safe when I worked in Israel. There was pretty much zero street crime with all the firearms carried around - much safer than a typical American urban street. If you want to point out terrorism, you have a much higher chance of dying in a car accident here...

No specific point, just like the picture. They are much more heavily armed then their US counterparts. My friend who worked on ATMs for years was unarmed, of course over a decade ago. I actually liked it, I went to the restroom leaving my wife with all our luggage there, feeling she was very...

PDC last month

CESA is very similar to submarine escape hatch training, except we were trained to say Ho Ho Ho all the way up. I never actually practiced it, though.

Yep, the air expanding in your lungs definitely makes it easier - and is why you never hold your breath while SCUBA diving.

PADI Standards are remove and replace (doff and don) BCD on the surface only. It's usually done on/after the 2nd or 3rd dive, but it's easy to do at the beginning of your 4th dive. When I got certified in '92, we still did buddy breathing off of the single regulators we had. My 'buddy'...

My shop does this when students don't have time to finish full OW but need to go on a trip where Scuba Diver will work. The shop doesn't charge anything extra, if they paid for the OW class but finish the last 2 dives later. I do think PADI charges for the extra c-card.
