They DO do this, it's called MAP. Being a "Click and Mortar" Dive Center ourselves, I can see both sides of the situation. Many store owners/staff get frustrated when they go out of their way to help a potential customer decide on which equipment would be best for them, only to have that...

Hello All, The only reliable news that I have heard is from our dealer rep is that a BCD from Atomic is in the works. Haven't heard anything since. He did however wink when I asked him if it would include warp drive. :D

Darn!:depressed:

Hi Runway 1, I haven't heard of them either. I tried to do a search, but also came up with nothing. It looks like it's a standard HP steel cylinder that someone put a decal on. Your best bet would be to send the seller a question asking for all the engraved markings around the cylinder...

Hi Ed, Trust me, you will have no problems with the CMAS card, and you will never regret taking the course. When you get back to NY, look me up if you need a dive buddy. Take care, George

Hmmm, sounds like an interesting concept. Any pics of the this set up with the block?

Thanks for the interesting tip, I'll give it a try. I honestly never thought of having alternate settings on the fins.

Ditto with the advice given by Jim and Walter. I teach both CMAS and PADI. CMAS is much more intensive and all inclusive than PADI. Even in the CMAS 1 Star course, you will be learning things that PADI only teaches as specialties, such as peak buoyancy control. In CMAS it is considered a basic...

While there are many factors, for me personally, an noob is generally considered a diver with <50 dives / hours bottom time. This is just my personal opinion as there are no hard fast rules.

Guess this is one mask you don't wear on your forehead!! :no:

It's a combo package: OMS Aluminum Back Plate HOG harness with "D" rings Dive Rite Rec Wing We've put a lot of these together for people, and it works great. Take care, George

OOPS, I mean Ranger LTD for $529.95

We can do a BP/W for $335 and a Ranger for $529.95

Like I've said earlier - the swim evaluations are only to help establish a baseline on the student's comfort in the water. In an emergency, I can see a diver ditching weights and the scuba unit in order to swim a distance in an emergency, but again, this is not what the evals are all about...

As to me picking on PadI, they started it and I have a long ways to go yet. Honest question - when did PADI start picking on you? R U referring to PADI the agency or PADI members? As far as ripping apart agencies and their standards or business models, just about any experienced...
