There is a standard, albeit, a little vague and it's been quoted a couple of times. The agencies IMHO, are allowing the instructor some flexibility in judgement. My belief is all skills must be performed correctly, without signs of distress or inability to do it. i.e., If a student takes a...

Ditto, what they said.

You've found the key to the city! Washington D.C.!!! Actually, I agree with H2Andy as it may be a station box key.

I guess I need to clarify my comments before I get linched. I do move on after the student clears the mask or performs their skill even if there are problems. At the end of the pool training I allow extra time for them to practice and get used to moving around a little more. I make it a point...

Yep, El Pique and just up the road from there is La Tacaria.

I use that standard that if the student performs the skill without issues. Basically if it takes 20 attempts to blow out the mask to clear it, as long as they don't panic or shoot for the surface, I find it acceptable. Then during practice after class is over, I have them try it again. I do...

How much is the book? And how long does the classroom last?

Way too cool Matt!!! If he gets the opportunity to stop and see you make sure you tell him hello from all of us here at Scubaboard!!

I keep a tire innertube repair kit with me. These patches are permanent on dry suit seals as long as the puncture isn't too near the edge or has to be stretched alot.

There are several buoys on the Speigel Grove that are up to several hundred feet apart. I would assume he came up the wrong line and was too far away. It's a sad thing to have happen and I'm very sorry for his family.

That just about covers it!!!!

Yep, they're expensive but they include all the dive wear, boots, footies, etc. I was lucky, I got intro an intro bargain and mine was just under $800.00 new. I like it almost as much as I like my 12 year old Viking.

I had this problen with a student a couple of weeks ago, We solved the leaky mask problem by having him try, and he bought a childs mask made by TUSA.

MSRP pushing around $2,000.00

I was sued by a neighbor for invasion of privacy. I set up a security cam and caught he and his wife trampling my flowers. When the sheriff told them that there was a tape they sued. The judge made them pay restitution, my attorney's fees and all court costs. It didn't cost me a dime. I got...

Keep in mind that parts for a complete service (excluding batteries) of the first and both second stages would retail at $10.00-$15.00. This is the free portion. You will pay for the service tech's labor and that's anywhere from $25.00 to $50.00. So you make the choice, but with the...

And another famous Z! :sleeping:

I can't remember where I' ve seen them but pockets are availabe that use webbing to attach to you leg or arm.

You may also want to turn your head from side to side as your looking down also. This will help get the water from the eye (or lens) pockets the the nose.

Although I'm not in the military, a lot of my friends and neighbors are so I've got a couple of bullets to donate, too.
