    Negatively buoyant without weights

Never knew about it till it was handed back to him or a class of Search & Rescure students were called out on a class to find something. After using 40lbs with...

    any tricks to buff out a scratch

    How deep is the scratch? Can you feel it with your fingernail? If so I think it'll be toast. You can pickup some "Jewlers Rouge" from a local glass shop... Won't need that much. "Wax" it on like a car war, small circles over the scratch untill the scratch isn't visable. Now if it is a deep...

    Fire Destroyed White's Dive Shop

    Yeah everyone got out okay. A couple of staff members were allowed to enter and retrieve a computer and some paperwork... But that was several hours later. I just came from there and the U-Haul building behind them is still getting it's basement pumped dry.

    Tipping instructor?

    Woah, By telling them I don't believe in tipping before hand isn't "lying by omission" Really how do I lead them to believe I am going to be tipping? Just because I am there isn't leading them on. I am did not go a place with a thought of "I am going to tip someone tonight" usually it's...

    Tipping instructor?

    I don't believe anyone is below me in the grand scheme of life. But yeah if you RELY on tips to subsidize your income you are basically looking for hand outs. Your "Waiter/Server" job is to do what the title entales wait or serve on people. It is there job and we as a whole are to reward them...

    Tipping instructor?

    In my own defence I will say this... My view is my own, not a Canadian point of view! Some tip everyone that does them a service, like my Parents. Where I live in Canada the minimum wage is over $8hr. Most places pay more than that, but that is the minimum someone can get paid *leagaly*... Be...
