I did not no that there would not be a stop after dive 1. I knew that on my computer, I had 14 min NDL time left after dive 2. My tables were in my BCD pocket, and never left it. I quess my question is more along the lines of, "if we had a 45 min. SI wouldn't it have been safer and for that...

No problems, no complains, great service and great prices. Also, great classes (well they are an LDS) Stan

Hey Patty's alright already ain't she? Stan

On a recent 2 tank dive we had a short SI. Let me give details and ask if this is a good procedure. Dive 1: Max depth 51fws Time 40 Min A square dive to depth an only a small deviation during the bottom time. No safety stop. 23 min SI Dive 2: Max depth 48 ft Time 38M 30S 3...

Please see the following:" DAN Medical Center Injury Report and Statistics Fifty years ago, fatalities and serious diving injuries were common. Today, they are rare and often seem to be associated with unsafe behaviors or hazardous conditions, but they also occur without apparent cause...

Not if you're down wind. It realy takes the . . . romance out the equation. Stan

What type of hood is this? My problem is that my neck is about the same size as my waist. Most hoods that fit my fat head, cause a choking sensation in my neck, so I use a beanie. Stan

I have posted this in another thread, but . . . On a recent dive trip the dive shop's clerk, ask if I got seasick. After a moment of thought, I said yes. I told her that in my experience, under the right conditions, everyone gets seasick. I do not know if that caused a problem or not, but it...

On a recent dive trip the dive shop's clerk, ask if I got seasick. After a moment of thought, I said yes. I told her that in my experience, under the right conditions, everyone gets seasick. I do not know if that caused a problem or not, but it is the truth. I lived aboard and sailed a 40...

I always thought of that as chumming. Sure to bring on good fish. But why is it that almost everyone with Mal de Muir runs to the weather side of the boat? Darn, while trying to prevent a disaster (vomit in the wind), I grab a young Lady by the only available handle, her thong, not a good...

This includes my primary gear, but not all the little stuff worth 500 plus. Lights, mask, snorkle, fins Akona pro kit, sea cure mouth piece, tanks, signaling gear ect. and with a 250 deductable. Scary. Stan

We are all about our experience. We grow and die by our experience. Divers and instructors are no different. C-cards allow us to dive, experience allows us to dive safely. Stan

Don't dive with lures on your hands, big fish eat them. Stan

No, No, go on the end of ebb tide. Then you go by the bridge pylons at 3 knots and when the tide changes, you go back by them at . . . yes, 3 knots. The greatest advantage in this is that if you see a pampano, there is no way you can shoot him, at 3 knots, you can hit him with a 105mm cannon...

Great plan. Too bad the insurance companys read SB. Stan

I have responded to this in another thread, however the fact is that many people are introduced to diving in a resort environment. Imagine a one week condo rental in Cancun, with Mayan ruins, water parks, sailing available for your pleasure. Now, imagine a two morning pool diving event offered...

Yeah, I'm not paying for a dive trip to paradise and have some insurance idiot waste my money. Stan

I edited my previous post and added a link to the DAN site. http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/medical/report/2005DCIReport.pdf Please look at Figure 1.3-1 Annual record of U.S. and Canadian recreational diving fatalities. This clearly shows that todays divers, regardless of the reasons, are...

Please look at the following link. http://www.chime.ucl.ac.uk/~rmhiajp/diving/ndc90/ndc90n.htm I will post additional links when I have time. California also kept records from the 1970s and the results are similar. Stan Edit Please look at this from DAN...

I just ordered a PT-019 and after reading about the many deaths of Oly cameras due to flooding, is it practical to insure cameras with the DAN offered equipment insurance? I carry insurance on all my bigger ticket items, but with the 250.00 deductable, does it make sense on a camera? Stan
