No, a Master Diver or Master Scuba Diver is a diver that holds their rescue certification and 5 specialty certifications. A Divemaster is the first professional level in diving. A Divemaster has completed rescue then Divemaster. Divemaster certifications consist of a lot of classroom...

I've not heard of it happening that way. I did do a deco there 2 years ago with a tech instructor I trust. I wanted to experience it so I could give first hand reasons why you don't need to go that deep when student ask. This was my idea not his and he did it as a favor to me. I dive with...

We were at a restuarant and the waitress was really good with my 9 year old. When she brought the check he said to the waitress, "I lost my phone number, can I have yours?" She hugged him and promised to give it to him in a few years.

This is who we've used on my last 3 trips to Coz. Rita and Burak are great to be around, friendly and fun. Albatros Charters [albatroscharters@hotmail.com] http://www.albatroscharters.com

That was an example, My point being....if you are perfectly neutral at the surface, it only takes an extra pound or two of lift to keep you afloat while breathing normaly. It's common sense that you want more than just your eyes out of the water, so yes, more lift is needed. Under pressure...

Why? Proper weighting is a must. Realistically, you should not need to add air to your BC at the surface to remain there. You add the air to make you positive at the surface so you can rest and not over exert yourself, or to make up for compressed air spaces as you descend. Yes you need a...

Being an instructor, most of my dives are with "Newbies". When I go to club events, etc. they want to dive with me or one of the certified divemasters. Our motto "Bring it on" we are out there to teach, help you gain experience and knowledge. But don't get upset if we criticize or critique...

Have Larry give you a new one and let him send it back. Doing that, UK will most likely replace it and he can put the replacement into inventory to replace the one he gave you. This is my biggest issue with mail order, any warranty issues are your responsibility and you are inconvenienced...

Are you planning on overweighting yourself by 16KG? If you are neutrally buoyant there should be "zero lift" required. As to air space compression of the wet suit, etc. Again, get neutral at the surface, then you will only be adding small amounts of air to the BC as you descend to maintain...

Was this a drift dive or were you returning to the boat? If it was a drift, your guide should have brought you to the surface or sent you up with a buddy. If returning to the entry point, surface swims are much hard than swimming underwater so he did the right thing. IMHO.

C-Dog, Welcome to the board. Where in NC? If you are close to Pinehurst, hook up with us, the dive season never ends!

I haven't been to Gilboa since Dan owned it. Are the paddlefish still there? I only got to see them a couple of times as they were always very timid and avoided the bubbles. The trout were pretty awesome in size then too. Dan got upset with me one day because I stopped at a fish market...

I've also gone through Silent World a couple of times and I would rate them as an 8.5 on a scale of 10.

Choco, Take it to your LDS, have them inspect it and service it if they're authorized. If they are not then send it to Oceanic for service. Generally having the service done at the LDS should take no longer than 1-2 weeks. Sending it in can take up to 6 weeks and both should use factory...

Bay Island Beach resort is where I got married. Great place!!
