Hey MD watsup, from what I've seen/heard, going into the commercial arena simply doesn't pay as well as the tourism part of the ballgame. But if you really wanna get serious with all the fancy gear, you might want to consider a master degree in ecology/marine biology since field research...

If I'm going on a plane, my reg is coming w/ me in the carry on luggage. ain't no way am I trusting that $1500 worth of pride and joy to anyone else.

$200 here to get certified if you're a student... but like all ow class rate around here, that doesn't include the 75-100 dollars coat dive.

Hm... so supposedly this myth was startedwith people discovering a charred remain w/ a scuba unit on? How would that have happened? If not, how did people come up w/ it in the first place.

http://darwinawards.com/legends/legends1998-03.html And here's to the brave diver who sacrificed his life in a heroic and purly accidental attempt in preserving grass patch the size of a foosball table!!! cheers! :redhot:

Bolting, from the wisdom of many experienced instructors, is always bad. No matter how well the instructors/dms can control the situations should they occur. And from a first hand experience, if a student truly wants to bolt, it'll take 3 dms his size to hold the panicker down. If a student...

Yea... remind me of this retired Seal (age 75+) who still dives with no BC(just harness). Regardless, a panic diver is no more likely to think about himself wearing a 20lb+ weight belt than that moron who always appear right behind you 12am at night realizing that he has his high beam on...

Scuba club in HS? Tried that s**t a fwe years back but apparently 50lbs of gears in and out of surf zones seemed distant an abstract to my schoolmates... how did you manage?

O well... mine has so many dents and folds I can hardly call it a 6 mil anymore...

First I should mention that I managed to miss the poll while it was acive. Still, from what I've seen the definition of the poll is kinda vague, especially for the ascent part. Given a compter/gauge, I can definately make the sake 1ft/sec safety requirement, but I'm willing to bet big money that...

Yea, but mostly people I know who fake logs aren't faking the way you're describing. It's always "they've done the dive, but didn't log it.' So had to make up logs. I mean, let's say Bob has thousands of dive under his belt, but because either he doesn't log his dive or he doesn't bring dozens...

Way to go mon, now about that $500 instructor manual...

Cold more easily? it's kinda the opposite ith me... I kinda got used to being cold...so while everyone's slapping on double layers of jackets in 50 degree winter nights I just stand there with flip flops and t-shirt. (I do feel cold... but it just doesn't bother me anymore, and I won't shiver so...

I think it's just the way things are as far as people fading away... a scuba club is just like any other hobby relate groups. People get intersted, but they don't necessarily get committed. Just look at them as an extra source of membership fee. (they don't ue anything :D) Also there are people...

Hey wats up ppl, and I thought i'll spend the next few years talking to ppl twice my age on this board... What I've done is basically started(restared... it's kinda comlicated) ith a few other peopl our campus scuba club... and basically get free airfills and lots of discounts from out LDS...

Yes, let's invent a $50 dollar course for everything there is about diving, including how to put on a 6 mil/ hood vest course and a how to breathe eficiently underwater..... ok j/k :D no, but the UC as well as most aquariums on the Cali coast do adopt a unified system... (ehh... forgot the...

I think the back ones are also a bit softer... making replacing and zip tying easier. Still, our local aqualung lds doesn't seem to keep the clear ones, and I suppose the reasons are mentioned above. (Ah... if only I didn't toss that entire seacure into the not, boiling water...)

Seriously, if a fishing boat has not respect for divers, chances are no one onboard is a diver, which means that none of them can dive... So agitating divers is a really really bad idea consider none of them can undo whatever damage divers could have done.

Well, as far as splits go you should really try Scubapro twin jets and apollo bio, they'll definately give you a more complete view on the characters (and price! :D) of split fins.
