My wife and I are buddies in everything, whether its darts or diving. We have developed together, and share some of the same goals in the sport. Since I'm in the Navy, shell be able to progress faster than I will cause Ill be gone half the time. When she found out we were getting...

Actually, most have it correct. THe depth is measured from the keel, however, there are a number of points along the keel where these "depth sensors" are. Yes, theyre called depth sensors. So, depending on what angle is on the boat, the sensors will have varied readings. The sensors work...

Mike, I agree, its not about speed..........if there are classes and texts out there that mislead, or omit fundamental, safe, practices, then they should be stricken from the industry. And shame on them for helping to kill some unknowing people. While I agree, I am much more inclined to...

All true...........but the information is there, if people are just too stupid to understand the value of life...........then THATS not ignorance. The premise of the thread is whether or not a "quicky" course is a good or bad thing.........thats like asking if a gun is a good or bad...

I would hope that anyone taking on the sport of diving would understand the basic concept behind the effects of pressure as it relates to a given gas. If they dont, they certainly are playing a game they are ill-equiped to win. Volume and pressure.................hmmmmmmm, must be what...

UP, The only machine that generates O2 from water is the O2 generator we have in the machinery room on the Submarine I am attached to. And its too big and dangerous to carry underwater, something about the hydrogen it stores........but thats another story entirely, and is beyond the scope of...

at the prospect of being "labeled" here, Ill give my take......... My class took 3 days........the first day started with a discussion about the reading, followed by the quizes, followed by the test. Maybe others have serious problems comprehending the basics, to me its pretty simple...

We live on Guam, and have eaten at JanZ's twice..........the first and last times. We didnat have a good visit at all. Although the diving is great, try San Luis or Asan Cut for shore dives the next time your here. tiny bubbles

I build the plan on a wheel, I use the puter to help if we ever have that "wow, now thats really cool.............OH CRAP!! were 20ft below the floor of our plan!!" situation. Havent had that happen yet, as a matter of fact, I plan for say 100ft, then only hit 95 or so............just because I...

We learned on "square" tables, like everyone else i suppose. I quickly learned that 90 ft on a square left alot of time to do something else after a very short dive. Therefore, the next logical step was the wheel, which enabled us to understand the differences associated with a normal...

I read the first post of this thread and went "holy molly"... Then, as I read more posts, I stumbled across "this was only my 6th dive" and I thought, hmmmmmm......60 ft, temp <55F, 22 lbs of weight, wants to dump the motors (fins), havent dove since OW cert 6 months ago. I think you...

I am of the impression that the very least cert that I will feel "comfortable" with is rescue........for many reasons. Im in the the Submarine Fleet, and training is paramount to sucess. Therefore, more training just "feels" right when your life or someone elses may be in the swing...

we live in south finn, so the AFB is ideal for us, we just dont have alot of info on locations. We have heard that entries on certain sites on the north end are tricky, and the time of year is important pertaining to currents and the like. I understand that there is a good dive off the beach...

Hello all, Were new to Guam diving, and are interested in learning the ins and outs to the shore dives on Guam. We learned real quick on Asan Cut that there isnt a replacement for resident knowledge. Hopefully, there is much to learn from the more experienced Guam divers on this board...
