Your could put it that way if you consider living on tips to be a "professional wage".

Rainbow's dive masters aren't getting wealthy and perform a lot of boat duties besides guiding. The incremental cost can't be much. You can follow them or go your own way. You get a cookie in either case.

Rainbow Reef- They give out cookies when you get back on the boat. Only possible improvement...giving out hot dogs. #1 in my book. The boat? Always right where I left it. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

Just take a couple of valves with you. If the shop won't change them for you take a $3 adapter from Grainger with you and use your HP hose as a whip to put a little pressure back and forth in your tanks while you change them yourself. Use as din and put the adapters back in for your fills...

Florida and Missouri caves. With a ccw you can carry right into the water if you want. Keep the money North of the border. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

US Navy UDT. You can begin your training near home at Great Lakes. You will get the overseas, the cruise, and the ship part. Equipment, lodging, meals benefits and a great salary.

The dive plan worked. Two divers had fatal accidents. The remaining divers had the resources to deal with the issue and get out alive. Sometimes accidents....happen.

Why would they partial blend a tank that didn't have an oxygen clean vip sticker? Lack of training? Kind of like cleaning a loaded gun!

I have 6 tanks with nitrox stickers and none of them have ever been oxygen clean. A dive shop in Florida insisted on applying the stickers after filling with banked 30%. Prior to that shop the same tanks had a long history of banked nitrox fills with no stickers. Just duct tape with the...

Old thread but I just did this mod and the difference is amazing. I cut the base of the old reflector and glued the emitter in the hole with JB Weld. Glued some wires in with conductive glue intended for automotive defroster repair to make a complete circuit. I am overwhelmed by the results...

Get the degree you want or learn a trade. That gives you options. Then work in a dive shop and learn the business. You will have no regrets and it may turn out to be a career. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

I have been putting boots on my tanks when dropping them off for filling. My thought is that it is rude to leave them rolling around on the floor and forcing the operator to do a yoga move to hook up the whip. What does everyone else do? (it is a hassle to remove and replace and remove...

Now try "equipment specialist". I wish I spent the money on lottery tickets instead. Or a few regulator manuals... :mad:

There is online training from Falk Alford. Cost is about $30 time is about 40 minutes. They are geared towards oil rig training but the confined space course is pretty generic. You get a pdf download of your diploma immediately. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
