I'm not an avid cyclist, but I'll tell you there are lots of motorist who don't comply with the law when it comes to cyclist. There is one Ocean front community popular with cyclists where the residents have taken to putting out tacks to discourage them. The Town's constabulary harrases them...

Search on YouTube. It's there. I can't post the links from my iPad.

Sweet. I always said, if you're doing what you enjoy, best to look cool doing it. (ever seen the rigs skydivers jump?)

I tend to agree. However the Dr.'s case was heard in Martin. I think this was PB. That aside, I think Florida law says if a boat is operating within 300/100 ft of a dive flag it must must do so at idle speed. From the video it appears the captain operated at a speed just fast enough to...

Small boat...back roll. Seawall, giant stride. Dive platform I sometimes giant stride, but more often than not, I'll turn and sit. Too often, I've made an ungraceful entrance attempting to giant stride off a newly glassed glassed plat form that was lubed up with shampoo at the shower. (vids...

Agree completely. Why poke it with a stick? One message that came out of my first OW class and AOW class in the early '70's as well as my AOW class I took as a refresher in the '90's was "hydrate, hydrate, hydrate." if it ain't broke, I won't try to fix it until it is. Water is good by all...

And let's remember, in many locals, the "DM" is really only a guide. Not a retained DM to ensure a diver's safety.

Why should she have dropped her weights?

If the reel bird nests, throw it away. If you get entangled SCREAM ****!! from a buddy of mine. Swim down while you're at. Dump, lot of it has to do about history and locale I suppose. I hooked up with one of the engineers at work. Cave certed in the mid-west and Tri-mix certed with Larry...

Two of my buddies do it that way, and my butt puckers every time I watch. You are much better off pre-rigging the spool as per the GUE and 5th-D videos.

Parott of some kind I would guess.

Georgia Tech. I got nothing to say but I'm a Boiler Maker.

I'm one who does. I have a dive alert attached to the hose. I removed the guts from the DA's quick disconnect so there is no need to slide the collar back. I can inflate my halcyon with one hand by gripping the DA in my palm and positioning my index and middle fingers around the nipple's flange...

I withdraw my comment. To be frank, I was sitting in a steak house with my daughter last night and when she went to the ladies room I popped out my I-phone and checked in. Clearly I did not take in your entire post; having just re-read it.

Come on Don. Give her a break. With one post she clearly would not be an over opinionated poster expected to know TOS. I'm sure she is not a scubaboard junkie as she only has that one post. More likely she did a search of her loved one and found this site.

Re: Singer Island Hilton. I having trouble getting the pages to display, so I'm not going to post links. Pura Vida site has info about Hilton's specials for divers. One perk was free parking for divers; that is worth 10 bucks a day. There are also the free shuttles to the Lake Park and...

I guess, lol. I was relying on Florida laws and rules.

I think we may be blurring the line again between DM and Dive Guide. I know lots of local dive guides who are not DM's, and lots of local DM's who are not guides. Many of the waivers I have signed said "This is only a boat ride". There are also local ops that are more "nurturing" to divers...

As I read this, I ponder. My summer rig is suffering from dissimilar metal syndrome. I really need to break down my aluminum plate from the wing and STA and add new hardware.

And let's remember, often the dive guide is not even a DM. I get a kick out of all the recent threads discussing DM's: particularly the Coz ones. There is a difference IMO between hired DM's and group guides. My favorite op, has no requirement for divers to stay with the guide, particularly...
