    Reg VS BC

    Without a doubt, you want the BC first. The others have all given good reasons, and I'll add that you want to be comfortable. Getting a rental BC that fits and is comfortable happens about half the time.

    Newbie diving anxiety - how to overcome?

    You may want to get him to fill a sink with water, put the snorkel in his mouth and then put his face in the water and breathe through the snorkel for several minutes several times. It helped me when I first started diving.

    Knowledge review questions OW

    Those knowledge reviews must be reviewed, corrected, gone over with the student and a copy (or original) must be placed in the student's folder which is kept by the instructor or LDS. If your instructor did not do these things he is in violation of the standards and should be reminded of such.

    Knowledge review questions OW

    What you have online are not the knowledge reviews. As was said, just ask the LDS to copy a set for you.

    Fiesta Americana Bottled Water

    Stop at the Ched Raui across from Plaza Las Glorias. It's similar to our Wal-Mart. The hotel used to charge for bottled, but not sure now as I've stayed in a condo on my last several trips and they have a cooler in each condo..

    Need advise on classes

    Then I would be tactful in your explanation so as not to cause him to lose his job. You should probably talk to him first. It's only fair.

    Need advise on classes

    If you were dissatisfied enough to quit the class and go elsewhere, I'd ask for the refund for everything except the classroom materials which I assume you kept. I would also let the shop know your reasons for moving on, it's only fair that they have the opportunity to correct the issue. Is...

    Any restrictions on diving after getting off a plane?

    The most important restriction (after proper hydration) is don't dive without a tank, the bottom times stink.

    PADI Rescue Diver requirements

    I will do some more investigating, but I do not believe PADI will require DAN O2 but they are going to require an intro to O2 provider. PADI offers and O2 course as a distinctive specialty so it would be counter productive of them to require DAN's course.
