Plaza Las Glorias is closed for renovation, (at least it was 4 weeks ago) so everybody has been loading at the piers and Del Mar Aquatic's dock.

Ditto what jonnythan said. I like my old UK 800 halogen rechargalbe though.

I instruct and service customers equipment part time. I really enjoy it, wish I had the reserves to open my own shop.

Welcome to the board. How about ex-Ohio diver? I've got several hundred dives at Gilboa, Portage, White Star, Lake Erie, Nelson's Ledges to name a few.

I used mine a few weeks ago in Coz. Stuff worked great. You need to let me know a cost so I can sell it to my student.

Man, I gotta start thinking of looking for this stuff!!! Great site. The only thing I do different is trim around the seal, I don't fold it in half for fear of it slipping.

Assuming you're talking about dry suit seals, use very sharp scissors, trim only 1/16-1/8 of an inch at a time and make sure there are no cuts straight in from the edge that can cause them to tear easily.

Yep, I agree. But there's nothing we can do about it. BTW, probably should handle it with PMs instead of drifting the thread.

While demonstrating, I agree. But when I have students performing skills at any depth I hold on to either the chest strap (if available), the shoulder strap or the buckle at the stomach. I will not chance a student shooting for the surface and getting injured so i stay one step ahead and hold on.

There are very specific standards for any PADI class. Not having my specialty manual with me at the moment, but having certified a number of drysuit divers, I can tell you that these requirements were not met. Contact your instructor, ask him to meet with you and bring his manual. Then tell...

Semantics. Any way you look at it, someone could get hurt. ;)

I can and will mirror hoya97's comments. In this type of training, there will be an infrequent accidental touch. If you exaggerate your intentions (of avoiding touching), are careful, and sincerely apologetic if something does happen, it should be an easy task to keep your reputation clean...

The reason the drop the "molten" lead from a certain height is so the lead will cool, set up (skin over) and not explode when it hits the water. Molten lead poured into water WILL explode.

That would be great if he/she would. I'd like to read what the perverted *** hole has to say.

I agree and I'd also like a link to the other board he's posting on. That would at least give us something from the other side.

fonfon, I am truly sorry for what happened and have the utmost respect for you being able to persue the prosecution of this. Keep your chin up, keep getting better. I would also like to say "Thank You' for getting this animal out of PADI and protecting more unsuspecting ladies. If you...

I went out with Coastal once last year. 20 odd miles out, 1 of the two (brand new) engines starts messing up. That 6-7 hour charter ended after 14 hours. I've been out with Captian Tuck several times and have not had any issues plus if it starts getting nasty, he'll cancel or look for calmer...

It looks like a snapshot out of the tv movie "Spring Break" I think was the name.

I haven't dove Ohio for some time since I've moved. How bad are the Zebra mussels at White Star? The last time I was there they were just starting. DMP, When do you transfer to Fort Bragg? PM me.

I'm another one whose best and worst happened to be the same trip. June 1998 we went to Bay Islands Beach Resort in Roatan. The best part was marrying my wife, first underwater then the legal ceremony was a traditional Houduran wedding at the resort with the mayor performing the ceremony the...
