    Do You Agree?

    This was the original post and I assumed when he said platform, teenager and then said buddy (obviously older: DM, Father, not really sure) that this teenager was in an OW class. Again my assumption and perhaps I was wrong. ?"That wasn't the question, but thinking back to my OW class. I had...

    Do You Agree?

    I have to ask why the kid was mask clearing in the quarry to begin with. I would assume if he had problems there then he had problems in the pool. Should have never been in the quarry in the first place. Just my opinion.

    New diver - seeking cold water dives opinions

    The 7MM is you can tolerate a little cold should work just fine, it did for me. I have also dove in a drysuit and it was the best, but with that you need the training and know how. Go for it and since you have already explained to your buddies what you expect from them no one will be...

    This is worth the money I think

    I work for a sewage and water pump company and we do hazmat work on some of the landfills around the area. Our objective was to plug 2 lines in a lechate well about 40 feet deep so that we could clean the well. Well we ran into a situation where the methane levels were to high to make a confined...

    OW training & cert on Nitrox?

    Well here are the obvious answers you are looking for: - Why is this not a bad idea (exception granted for handicap mitigations). because the dive shops make more money and so does PADI - Why does it exist at all? What's the benefit? Again so that the dive shop and PADI can make more money...

    ShagMan's "leaving the hobby" sale

    Interested in the wing. Any pics? Dive-Rite Rec Wing, about 3 months old, it's a 2008 model wing, around 50 lbs of lift. It has the bungies on it, and has the mounts on the outside edge for keeping the wing from tacoing, and I have the bits to attach to it to make that work. It's in...

    Upcoming Open Water Dives, and Concerns with Mask Clearing

    I had kind of the same problem and know just what you mean when you say "Although I know I can do it, I am very nervous about the same situation happening in the future and lose a bit of sleep over it". I can tell you it is NOT retarted, it is how you feel and how I felt. My issue was mask...

    First Nitrox and computer alarmed

    This is how my Oceanic Geo is if you dont set it correctly. I also see you said you checked it again once back on the boat, so I assume this is not the case. I would like to know the outcome, please keep us posted.

    Very dangerous experience - advice please!

    What a joke that PADI did nothing to this person after he endangered your life. I am starting to believe more and more what everyone says PADI stands for. Put Another Dollar In and thats probaly what this guy did.

    OW training & cert on Nitrox?

    I can say that I took my OW, Dry Suit & Nitrox all at the same time. Here is what I noticed about it. I did the classroom & pool sessions of the OW course WITHOUT the drysuit or Nitrox. Then I went back and did the classroom & pool session of the drysuit course. Then finally I went back and did...

    Aga Full Facemask

    You know whats funny, it is really hard and I mean really hard for us to find someone to let us use thier pool. Everyone wants money from an unfunded non profit dive team. We are not associated with any fire department and we do not get ANY money from the townships or state. We do what we do...
