Probably not, I have never noticed a big difference between soft and hard in getting them in and out of the pockets, actually I prefer standard. I currently use the XS Velcro weight pockets attached to my harness, the link below is a good clip on weighting (Andrew is my instructor)...

Yes, securing your tanks would go a long way in making a difference especially compared to not securing at all. Putting them in the back seat floor (not that I haven't done it or regularly do it) is not a good way to secure scuba tanks. I would not worry about which way the valves are facing...

I use Magic seaweed, google it, I like it best. Highly recommend 3R, they do it in San Diego as well but its geared to SCUBA diving. Every weekend is a different shore entry however SCUBA is not allowed during the training.

Yes its the Auburn Tigers, War Eagle is their "battle cry", sort of like Alabama is the Elephant and Roll Tide is their "battle cry" there may be a better example but thats all I could think of.

I use a 7mm here in San Diego and it does ok, temp usually in the mid 50s. Sometime I wear a rash guard underneath which seems to help. It the surface interval that gets cold. I'm in the process of switching to a drysuit.

I've dove with Tanks a Lot, excellent boat, the Captain is great and his wife is the DM. You are correct the DM goes in the water but it is not a led dive or anything like that. When I was there she went in and checked the anchor and during the dive she took individual pictures of each diver...

got it and replied, let me know if you didn't get my PM

well it depends….

Any chance of another production run?

The goodman handle is now free - even better. I just ordered one. ---------- Post added December 1st, 2013 at 11:20 AM ---------- Post pics when you're done. Sounds like a good project.

War Damn Miracle!

Yes, at least thats my understanding.

---------- Post added November 27th, 2013 at 09:54 PM ---------- I understand completely. You are talking about the policy of AOW cert vs. the onsite review of a diver's quails - I completely agree. My point concerns the AOW policy, if the operator decides the dive needs a little more...

I didn't mean to imply that it invalidates that fact, just pointing out a difference. When an operator calls for a "AWO" he is making a judgement that the dive requires that card and that it is sufficient - its more specific. If the operator only calls for a OW card his only judgement is that...

Both require the dive operator to make a judgment call. Here in SoCal there are very few, if any, dives sites that operators require an "advanced card", including the Yukon, Ruby E, all sites around Catalina and San Clamente, even the oil rigs which are in 700'.... In my experience, most...

I'll be there!

Not rude, not a big deal, the shop (most anyway) will accommodate boots on or off.

Get the goodman handle and that is a great light for the price and just right for recreational night diving.

Thats just not true at least not around here in San Diego. The sticker states that the tank is cleaned for pure O2. Why would anyone require special cleaning for banked NITROX? Are you saying there is safety risk? BCDs/wings/drysuits are not specially cleaned and they get "banked NITROX"...

I agree with your logic. I don't agree with other's insinuation that dive shops are "getting away" with something. I have to get one of my tanks filled tomorrow (Saturday) and I'll ask the shop owner what regulations he references in filling tanks. They fill everything from air to 100% and do...
