    Dive Boat Etiquette on SoCal Boats

    I'm a fairly generous tipper, b/c I understand what a grind most of the service-industry jobs can be... But when establishments do this, it sort of grates on me, although I can understand it. However, if the gratuity is included in the bill, I leave *only* that amount. --'Goose

    Yeah, that was me... Actually they didn't *quite* bail, I think they were just tired and wanted to get together offsite, on their way home. Actually, I was helping out with an OW class. Not in a leadership capacity or anything, just being Fill*****(tm) and Guard*****(tm) for the DMs and...

    Aeris Atmos Elite Grumbles....

    Thanx, K, that looks like a terrific watch...but at $329, it's not exactly affordable for me. Rather, I have been considering getting an Atmos I (on sale at my LDS for $165) as a backup to my Atmos AI, and just doing without the avg-depth thing for now. I posted a note asking about it this...

    computers and redundancy

    I am a newbie, first off, and try to be as risk-averse as possible. I have an atmos AI, and was thinking of getting an atmos I as a backup. The Atmos I is non-nitrox. I figure: -- Both units will give me my bottom time. -- Both units will give me my current/max depth. -- If either unit...

    Aeris Atmos Elite Grumbles....

    I have an Atmos AI, and, although a newbie, I have felt since day 1 that it was an excellent value, even as expensive as it was. I was nervous (prob due to inexperience) about the wireless thing, and opted for the hose hookup instead. Your comment about the SAC rate... BINGO! I am fixing...

    Orange County Dive Ops

    Hi Folks... I am heading out to a business trip on 3 Jun 2005(Friday), and would like to know of any good dive operators in that area. I need an outfit that is tolerant of newbies (been diving 9 months). This would be both my first boat dive and my first ocean dive. I will have all my own...

    Diphenhydramine HCI

    Hi, all.. Are there any negative consequences of taking Diphenhydramine HCI (OTC sleeping tablet) the night before diving. I usually have to take two 50mg tabs to make myself fall asleep, if my sleep schedule's gotten out of whack. I feel fine when wake up. Will this become an issue at depth...

    Hello everyone

    Mongoose is a name I have been using since I was a kid, hopping around on dialup BBSs (I honestly thought it would never get faster than 9600 baud, tops, and that ZMODEM was the ONLY way to go... ah yes, the old days). I chose the name because the Mongoose(the *javan* mongoose, specifically)...

    Hello everyone

    Hi, folks... I live in North Texas, and am newly certified (NAUI) and have been diving for about a month or so. I love the sport, I know I have a great deal to learn, and hope my experience here helps me do just that. Regards, --'goose
