Trade it in for the new Eco-Drive model?

The San Pedro Sun writes, "They were both gunned down on Sunday, June 23rd, while on a fly-fishing trip at sea on the leeward side of Ambergris Caye." Tour guide Mario Graniel and Dr. Gary Swank shot and killed at sea - The San Pedro Sun (Edit) Belize sounds kinda scary. "These recent murders...

Oh my goodness! What a horrible story. My heart goes out to his family.

Accident prone is an understatement. LOL! I actually celebrated earlier this year that 2018 was the first year since 1999 that I was not in an ambulance, the ER, or admitted to a hospital. I'm an adrenaline junkie. It's going to kill me.

I can appreciate the mechanics comment. My Dad was one before he became one of NY's Finest. He still did that work as a side job for extra money in our garage. I've seen some of his knuckle busters. Not an easy job. I understand what you're saying. As for me my profile name is because I'm an...

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please heal soon and I hope you get back on your feet soon. (pun intended) If you wanna compare battle scars I can show X-rays of my all cadaver parts hands. I'm just saying I feel your pain. Enjoy the Vicodin or...

According to FedEx my Mares Red Devil is actually arriving tomorrow and I will dive with it next weekend so I'll share my thoughts. However, @LakeHickoryScuba did seem to do a very good job.

0 visibility. Come dive with me here in Monterey Bay. We call that a good day. LOL!!!!

I know Light & Motion Light & Motion: Portable LED Lighting for Film, Photo, Cycling & Diving makes dive lights that will not overheat when out of the water.

This is a really interesting question and I would love to see some sort of medical study done on the original poster's question. My answer is entirely anecdotal and based solely on just my personal experience. I am in good shape and very active, but I didn't start diving until I turned 50...

If it can still be serviced go for it. It's a great regulator. My first regulator was a hand-me-down Oceanic that was even older than what you describe. I love it and still have it. Today I dive mostly with an Aqua Lung Legend LX. I think you'll be very happy with your purchase and I can't...

First, welcome to the awesome, super addictive, greatest thing I've ever done in my life, world of SCUBA! How do I find dive buddies? Mutual Friends Dive Shop Fun Dives ScuaBoard Meetup.com SCUBA group Just get involved. For example, two weeks ago a training event for my was cancelled. I...

I didn't catch that but yeah, that's a major No-No!!!

Excellent points.

I don't have a bucket list dive site. I have a bucket list dive goal. In 2020 I hope to have completed my Tech certifications in decompression dives and Trimix and hit a maximum depth of at least 400 feet. Short visit at depth and a really, really, really, really long journey back up, but what...

Can I make a suggestion? Don't contact PADI directly. Contact the Dive Shop the Instructor works for and tell them about what you witnessed and why you are concerned and thought it wise to bring it to their attention. We all makes mistakes. We are all only human. You don't want to ruin this...

Page 53 of the PADI Instructor Manual, Direct Supervision item #3 of the Open Water Diver Course. "Instructor conducts and directly supervises all open water dives." It then goes on to say that an exception would be a certified assistant at a 2:1 ratio. So, no popcorn needed. No debate to...

I'd go with the Zoop. It's a really simple, reliable computer. I dive with 2 computers on each dive and my Zoop has been my reliable 2nd computer for quite some time now.

I totally agree with you on that. I am, still to this day, deathly afraid of heights. I controlled that fear by not just becoming a pilot, but from 1989~2002 I was a competition aerobatics pilot. Every time I got in my plane I was scared about leaving the ground, but once I was doing my...

That's not how the human body works. A break in the skin does not lead to amputation. I'm in my 50's. I've probably broken or had operated on pretty much every bone and limb, and even my face surgically repaired because of motorcycle accidents, gun shot wound, stabbing when I was younger, and...
