I know there are independent operators on the river, but in this case I know it was Shop X because Shop X had its name all over the side of the pontoon. I'm thinking of drafting a letter to Shop X's owner/manager expressing my concerns, along with a copy of my next letter to be mailed to PADI...

Before this goes any further, this has nothing to do with whether or not you like PADI or if you agree/disagree with the way they teach, so this ISN'T meant to be an opportunity to bash PADI. That being said, here goes. This past weekend I was in Fl doing a drift snorkel down Rainbow River...

Just finished DiveCon late last year and got my official card a couple of weeks ago.

I just use colored wire ties.

When I first did OW I pretty much finished and went straight on into AOW with PADI. I studied the Adventures in Diving book, reading the deep and navigation sections plus several of the other chapters that were interesting to me in detail not knowing exactly might be thrown at me. At the end I...

Maybe I missed it, but the Florida springs might be a place to look. Not warm water, but it is fresh and clear, with no current to deal with.

Maybe I'm lucky so far. I've got a Cobra 2, loaded the disk that came with it, then did all of the updates, and I've no problems so far. And I'm running Vista.

I heard these were a newly released, top secret item at DEMA a few weeks ago. Anybody had a chance to field test them yet? Aqua Lung: First to Dive - Slingshot

I'm in the final stages of my DiveCon course now. Been working on it for about a year now. The reason it's taken so long is mainly the pesky 9-5 that pays for all this comes first. Because I'm doing this strictly for the enjoyment of it and not the money, if I finish next week great, if next...

A hoseless second stage.

You guys may want to check out Savannah also, it's just down the road from Hilton Head.

What site did you guys dive? We had low pressure front off the coast here last week stirring up everything. What kind of viz did you have? I just figured last weekend everything would be cancelled.

The wife did exactly the same thing last year. Took all the classroom/pool work with PADI and did checkout dives with SSI to get a SSI card. She needed proof of completion of paperwork/pool work and just did a crossover. No big deal.

The shop is Nu Horizons and has been around a while. It's in the middle of Myrtle Beach and can run out of both Little River and Murrells Inlet. They hit main sites regularly but can be accommodating to groups. They also don't like to "cattle herd" with the "get 'em out and get 'em wet" attitude.

As most of you already know, PST went through a reorganization in the past several months. Being concerned about the exemption on the tanks I checked the DOT website and noticed that it is due to expire at the end of August 2007. I called PST and after a few tries got a real person in the...

Just got a B2 with a 41" hose and 360 swivel on the 2nd stage. Routes under my arm just fine.

Last month we were in Cancun. The first day of diving was with Aquaworld. Everything mentioned so far about going out in practically any condition, needing a good dive briefing before getting to the site, etc is accurate. The second day was with Manta. Again, everything about them being...

Why did this get moved? It has nothing to do with the quality of diving in Cancun (which would make the move understandable), but with the manner in which a recreational wreck dive should be made. Cancun just happened to be the location.

Just got back from my first trip to Cancun, and while there got some diving in. The dive operator we went to seems to operate alot different than what I'm currently used to and I'm wondering if this is normal for the area. The story is we leave the dock on the bay side and head for the ocean...

After about a 15-20 year break I decided to get back into riding about a month ago. This year I HAD to be ready for the bike rally that's currently happening here in Myrtle Beach. But strangely enough, just this morning I was telling the wife that the new is wearing off and it's time to blow...
