Standard of living , difficult to change? I loved that part. Most DM's would be lucky to get back the money they paid for professional insurance, DAN insurance and agency dues.

fnfalman is correct. If you were going for miles on a compass bearing, you might have some issues. Short distances we use in scuba would be no issues.

Always look in a new tank before the valve goes on. I've seen new tanks with a small amount of oil and tailings in the bottom.

I usually leave a 20 for the crew everyday. If I'm there for a week or more, I'll also leave a small dive item as a gift to my favorite DM or crew member. I'm also in the habit of leaving a 5 in the room everyday for the cleaning lady. One trip I found out the lady and her daughter, that were...

If the Captain is also the boat owner, he typically doesn't get a cut of the tips, that would be considered a double dip. He makes his money off the price of the trip.

Capt. Bill will get the job done for you. He lives just down stream from KP Hole.

3 mile rule is pretty standard. Inspected boats will have posted, in the pilot house, the area that the boat is able to operate in. Most will say something about up to 3 miles off shore, this is to be able to dump black water. This is 3 miles from shore, including islands.

Rainbow River on the holiday weekend should be anything but tame. All that boat dodging should be a blast, near death experiences always get my blood pumping. Better to do it on a weekday, it will be a lot safer. As far as the manatees, snorkel is the order of the day. King's Spring dive is a...

soft scrub 2 or 3 times, defog on DRY lens, no nose breathing

Does diaper rash count?

If it has the DVT ask the service tech. take it out and see if it makes the same sound. They were really loud when they first came out. A new FEATURE to add more money and keep knot heads from dunking the reg. without the dust cap in place. Not really anything to make the reg. work better.

Dominica rocks, the best of all the islands I've been too so far ( in the Carib. ). If it wouldn't be for two active volcanoes, I'd live there in a heart beat.

Sting Ray City on scuba would be a bit of a disappointment. I believe Don Foster is right down the street from where the tenders will bring you in. You could contact them about a dive and see if they have a boat going out that will work on the ship schedule. Remember you will be on ships time...

KH for the bigger boat. Lights for the boat in the water, not. Fisheater has the drill down. Bigger boat would be better if the conditions get snotty. Brighter the dive light, the better.

Another vote for soft scrub.

Check out Capt. Cook area.

Book a non stop to Kona from the main land. If you have a lay over on one of the other islands, the chances are good that not all or even any of your luggage will be on the same flight you were. For the last day, ask any of the other passengers if they would like to share a day room at the King...

As someone that shoots hours of wildlife video a season, I thought it was pretty cool. Although, they could do without the HOLDING parts. Passive observation is always the best. I can easily see how the perception would be that seals are like sheep and coyotes to the fisherman. Now, if we...

Get a second opinion and don't let them stamp the tank failed till then.

As far as business goes, looks like he shot himself in the foot.
