I need to get more batteries for my S-70, and can't find any canon batteries anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? I got some off brand batteries, but they didn't last long at all, less than a year. In fact, I need to replace all of them. Anyone had any luck with off brand? If so, can you let me...

Demonstrating a skill, and mastering a skill are two very different things though.

WOW, can I dive there :)

Well, my wife has dove off of boats (why in heavens name is that even a specialty?), done deep dives, night dives, navigated quite well considering never using a compass until OW, & searched for and recovered masks that have been "misplaced" on the bottom. She is only OW. However she beats...

I admittedly don't know anything about the A80, but have seen better pictures from one. Several are not focused. It is almost like the shutter speed was too slow on some, or you were moving along with the fish to get the shot. Need to work on the white balance, several of your photos with the...

This is a little off subject, but I did advanced with a guy who had not done any dives past his open water check out. I complained to the instructor that was there, and he commented that he could do nothing about it, because that was up to the shop owner. The shop owner had told the instructor...

16. Open water training dives that are made to meet the minimum number of dives for certification are to be: a minimum of 15 minutes,... Directly from SSI standards. Not saying the instructor wasn't PADI, but it is possible.

I'm willing to bet that more people have died as a result of their car breaking down, than people who's watches have quit working, or even those people without watches.

You should check out some posts from that resort. I thought about going there once, but went to Costa Rica instead.

Bob those were amazing, and make me want to work where you work :) It was nice to sit back and let my stress melt away, Thanks!

Welcom to our humble little cyber-home away from reality...:)

Welcome to our humble cyber-home! Do lots of research on your purchases, and try out everything before you buy!

Well, the NDL for a "deep" 10" sink is 59 years. My agency only trains in the 10" sink, so if you show me a Sink Training card from PATTY, then I have to assume that you were trained in the "deep" sink as well.

I'm almost positive that one of the cert agencies offers a full "sink" course, if you plan on keeping this up. You also may want to make sure you are using a big enough sink so that you can have a buddy!

I'd log that as two dives...and since you were in a house, I think you might need cavern certification :D

Yeah, it is a legitimate issue, but I don't have a horse (even though I know how to ride one) just in case my truck breaks down, or a manual typewriter (even though I know how to use one) just in case my computer kicks the bucket. My dad walked up hill both ways in snow to school, but now we...

1. Don't buy anything until you figure out all your options. i.e. don't buy a really nice snorkel, you may never wear it. Don't buy the first BC you use, you may want a jacket style, or a back inflate, or you may want to go with a Back Plate & Wing option (commonly abbreviated BP/W). 2...

I have a notes page in my dive log where I can put down things that I learned in the pool, that I don't want to forget. Pool time is not a dive, and should not be logged as such.

One problem, could be that a lot of instructors (the ones that took their open water class 8 months ago) don't really learn to dive. There are instructors out there with fewer hours in the water than many open water divers. They are teaching what they were taught to teach. If they weren't...
