    how much do shops make on us???

    I've been in business for over 20 years and worked for corporations before that. I have several close friends that are business owners too. No matter how its sliced products sell at "about" twice what the direct cost is. This is true for most products that you buy - not just SCUBA...

    Cayman Brac or Little Cayman?

    I'm looking to stay within about 500nm South Florida (Bahamas, Turks, Caymans etc..) the 1st week in April. Small and out of the way is ideal, if it has a cruise ship port it's likely too big. All I need is a runway! So I'm considering the Brac for a 4 person family trip as we've never...

    Why can't you make a living as an Instructor?

    Work to dive, don't dive for work..... Flight instructors have the same issues as dive instructors. Only they have a lot more $$$ wrapped up in training and the pay is about the same. Almost every freshly minted CFI is willing to teach for free just to build flight hours. That...

    ice diving

    The line that we will use is about 3/8"-1/2" thick and floats. It's like water ski rope! It can be used to pull a diver out of the water. It's not the thin cave reel stuff. It is placed on top of the ice in a serpentine fashion and payed out or pulled in by a surface line tender as the...

    I start my SDI Ice Diver Certification next weekend. As far as I know only PADI, NAUI, and SDI offer Ice Diver Certification. I was told that none have a book for Ice Diving. We were provided with a copy of the US Navy Ice Diving manual and a copy of a long article on Ice Diving to read...

    Projectile Tank Flies Through Needham Recycling & Transfer Station

    "I imagine it's not too hard to drive anything through a sheetmetal outer wall and a drywall inner wall." I had a running turbine missile engine fail in a spectacularly uncontained way during a test in the Mojave. The engines shaft went through a sheet metal wall and drywall, and back...

    Dry gloves.....what Brand

    I use the Viking system. The one without the locking rings. Basically there are only 2 parts, a ring that fits inside the drysuit cuff and another that slides over the outside. Friction hold them in place so they can be removed easily too. The rubber gloves are really simple to use...

    PADI Master Scuba Diver requirements...can one of my specialties be SSI?

    Actually I'm all for it if it's what provides the motivation for a newer Diver to learn more or at least get a few dives with an instructor from time to time.
