Just returned from my first dive vacation. I spent 8 days/7 nights in Grand Cayman. Got a military special for a stay at Morrit's Tortuga Club resort. I invited my girlfriend, dive buddy Kevin (capt12pk) and his wife, although she doesn't dive. We arrived in Georgetown Saturday afternoon...

Local definitely gets a better deal. Just make an offer folks (but be reasonable).

How about if I add OBO to it? Just keep it reasonable please. :crafty: Check out feedback and you'll see it's excellent. I'll post up some photos if anyone is interested.

Thinking of (and will be) selling my MR11 canister light. It's in great shape, brand new battery getting about 3.5+ hours of total burn, handful of hours on the HID bulb, soft goodman handle, charger and padded pelican case!! I'd let it go for $410 shipped. Probably won't bend much on price...

Karibelle, you are quite humorously funny!! :D

I think it's because some have reportedly used an HP hose to move the transmitter into a position for better reception. To me, silly but to each their own.

Good question. Mainly (in my opinion) because an SPG can be had for $50. If your computer fails, you have what you need to safely get to the surface. Using the "extra computer" thought process might make sense if you have deco responsibilities but for recreational diving, simply ending one...

What did I reinforce? Common sense emergency response procedures I've learned over 20 years of LE career...just adding water. :D What did I learn? No matter what shop you go through, instructors aren't usually eager to take the slow route to your certification and that you'll learn more from...

I'll sell ya a 10w HID light!!! Dive Rite Slim with brand new battery and only a handful of hours on the bulb, soft goodman handle. :-) I just upgraded. Having read Diver0001's excellent response I'm second guessing the decision to sell the smaller one now. However, I really want to...

First, if someone carries your tank after you've already connected the 1st stage, something's wrong. I wouldn't want anyone moving my tank at that point. Once my 1st stage is on it, it's ready to dive because that means the bp/w (backplate/wing) are already on it, too. So no need for another...

To clarify on nomro's response, if you go with a hoseless computer, all you need is an SPG. Some say you should have a console in case the watch fails. Well, that would be no different than someone using a Cobra having it fail and they rarely (if ever) use an SPG. I love my hoseless computer...

I have one available but....again.....it's black. It's Agir Bakke and 24kg of lift.

Yeah....don't worry about the "problems. If mine loses signal it still monitors depth and time and I have an SPG backup. Where the transmitter is screwed in, if that fails so could a plug. Both are threaded in and have an o-ring. If a battery fails, well, so could any computer whether it's...

Until a team goes out with a few 100 lb lift bags and moves her. :D

A) Do a little homework to find the boats in your area (Horizon, Marissa, Lois Ann). Then simply go meet the captains and deliver a resume. Prob better results than this method. B) Look into getting listed with a local Sport Chalet as a DM.

First, I'd say just find a good mentor and dive!! Personally, I think certs are a bit over-rated. However, if you must have them, just email Scot. I wrapped up my AOW with him quite some time ago (following a bad experience with another instructor). Ended up being a good time!! Well, except...

If prior to fish and game misidentifying the shark, anyone of the anglers commented to a reliable witness or on video about catching a great white (or having one on the line) it will no longer matter than F&G misidentified it. As long as they can prove the anglers knew what it was, they could...

Buying a used DM manual in no way violates copyright laws....it's not be reproduced. Remember used book stores? Damn near every book is copyrighted material. If the notes in a used one are wrong, the person fails the test or simply does their own homework, not rely on old notes. As for pages...

I've thought about OF as an option but the convenience factor is drawing me to Tortuga. I know OF takes care of your gear and such but we're not the type of divers that would actually want someone tending to our gear. :crafty: We'll definitely check out Sunset House for a drink or two. As...

Thanks for the info. I'm rapidly leaning to Tortuga and just use the 72s. I'm okay with them in general but at 90fsw, it's a small tank even with a good SAC rate. And I'd love to have a 100 for the Kittiwake!!! :D On another note, anyone know why most (or all) only allow one dive on the...
