You might want to check out this thread on a lawsuit filed against Uwatec recently - uwatec lawsuit or the article in today's San Francisco Chronicle that started the discussion.

I moved from Minneapolis 3 years ago, before I started diving, so I don't have any first-hand knowledge of diving activities. I have seen postings from others in your area, so there is hope :) Here are a few websites to check out: Minnesota Manatees Minnesota Scuba Group - discussion...

This article was front page in the Chron today, so I am sure the lawsuit will get some visibility. From what I gleaned from the article, it appears that the programming was changed in later models (the recall only impacted 392 Aladins in the U.S. and the draft recall notice was for computers...

There are some high-end clothing stores (I believe The Limited is one of the chains involved) here in California being sued because of exactly that - employees are either required (or very strongly encouraged) to purchase the same store's products as their work wear, reportedly with no...

What a comeback! :mean: Good luck with your dive club. Sounds like fun. BTW, I just made my dive reservations for Hawaii...my last warm water dives before braving the cold waters of the Central California coast. [sorry - couldn't resist :) ]

Any advice to impart on the peak performance buoyancy class?

HELP - I will be vacationing at Jackson Lake in Wyoming in July and would like to dive. All of my searches for dive info, however, have been negative. Anyone know of a dive shop in the area? I will be staying in Colter Bay. Thanks.

Does anyone use the PADI Go Dive Log software for Palms? Any thoughts on its utility? I have downloaded the trial version but the jury is still out. It's available for those who have signed up for MyPADI (http://www.padi.com/padiprofile/html/software.asp) - for a fee, of course. Runs $40 (+...

Thanks - it helps. Appears I was on the right track. Boyle's Law, Ideal Gas Law - pretty much the same thing :D As it relates to this topic, is there anyone who calculates SAC and documents it in their logbook, other than ibnygator?

JMHO - make sure you get the training you want/need. I have come to realize while reading this board that AOW doesn't necessarily mean "Advanced" in terms of actual skill. Norcaldiver said it best - it should stand for "additional" training. Like you, I have been diving in Aruba since...

SAC - something that wasn't covered in my basic OW class, at least with this terminology, but I have seen in other posts on this board. I gather it has something to do with the rate at which you use air. First, what does the acronym stand for - possibly :confused: Standard Air Consumption...

...is certainly a good reason for logging dives. For example, all SSI certifications beyond the basic OW course require a certain number of logged (OW) dives. Personally, I log all OW dives to keep track of the experience - equipment configuration, weighting, conditions, description of the...

LOL...I don't think my wife would appreciate it - looks like she will not be able to go (in a way that's good since she is a non-diver and I probably wouldn't be diving if she came along. She has been supportive of my limited diving so far, so I have nothing to complain about). I'm looking...

~58% have 100 dives or less ~70% have 200 dives or less While probably not a statistically valid survey (respondents were not randomly selected from the diving population), the responses do provoke some interesting thoughts: - many in the 51-200 dive categories stated they were just...

Married with an infant should say it all. :eek: Right now my diving is limited to our annual vacation. I have a fixed week timeshare, so that generally dictates the time of year that I go. I do have the ability to trade and request another week in a different location. Since my S/O...

Just have to rub it it, dontcha :D Bet you were one of those curve breakers in school, too LOL. Seriously, as a new diver with 12 OW dives, I religiously log my dives for all the various reasons others have given in earlier posts (this thread has been around for awhile!) - keep track of...

You can also try Charleston Diving - it has info on diving in the Lowcountry as well as a discussion board.

Scubachik, You might try getting in touch with Sea Jay. He's in Beaufort, less than an hour south, and seems to dive a lot. If nothing else, he could probably put you in contact with the right people. Good luck.

I'll take the 5th (but don't let my wife know - she'll say i should be spending it elsewhere):) I don't blame you for going dry. In my case, with the little diving I do right now, I can't really justify the expense. Now if I could only find a 14mm wetsuit around here (7mm is the thickest...

Personally, I'm not trying to collect certifications - just trying to see if a particular course will advance my diving knowledge and be useful experience. For example, all of my dives have been from a boat. I don't think there will be much gained from taking a course to get a Boat Diver...
