I'm thinking boyfriend or a partner for her teaching business trying for damage control. No doubt I would want to protect the brand . I don't think IART would stick it's neck out. Other organizations like PADI seem to distance themselves from accidents when an instructor is involved...

Are foreign IART instructors allowed to teach in the USA? I am sure she had the requisite work permits, but unclear how foreign instructors get to teach in the USA. What are the rules and regulations?

I think the statement NetDoc made was a postulation. He stated as such, and the statement opens up a discussion on the possible scenarios that could lead to an accident. I am not sure how it compares to what Trump talks about.

If my crap is falling apart and I'm going down the abyss, I am done. Hopefully they can retrieve my camera to see the last panic filled selfie. Cheers

I am wrong. According to this Natgeo video going with the flow will kill me. Their recommendation is to swim out to open water. Looks like a fun dive site. How to Escape if Suddenly Caught in a Down Current

The little island off Bahia Honda State Park. I have countless epic night/day snorkels around the island and bridge. There used to be a huge hammerhead cruising the channel, but that was in the seventies. Keep track of the tides, and have fun. Still one of my favorite spots in the...

In our case, the down current dissipated at depth. The problem is the panic, especially a newer diver, that occurred. My thought is to go with the flow, then ascend at a safe rate. I have been to the same site since, and the current is predictable. I stay shore side to the mound..

Maybe a sweatshirt for surface interval? I haven't felt too cool except maybe the night dives. A 3 mm should be fine I would think.

Don't worry about the temperature. I dive without a wetsuit year round. Cheers

To avoid a down current, 1) Know your dive site. Ask locals who dive the area. 2) Know your tide schedule 3) Keep an eye on the wind and swell 4) Watch floating debris. If it is moving, adjust accordingly. 5) Know your limits. If you think you can't do it, Don't. The down currents I've...

About as easy and beautiful as you can get in the Caribbean. No current, waves of no strength, 100 foot visibility, 86 degree water and air. Leave your crap in the open, unlocked car. Zero crime.. Just wear sunscreen

It will be raging from the Northeast 15 to 20 mph, 5 of 7 days. You'll get the Northwest, and Southwest. Tibbet's and Stake Bay are always divable. Southeast and Northeast areas get pounded during the winter. Hopefully you can get to the South Walls or even Little Cayman when...

The pressure equalizes to him. He's Mike Nelson for God's sake. Chuck Norris wishes he could wear latex....

“Apparently something went horribly wrong, and he started to panic,” Something went horribly wrong. Why say he panicked? No one was with him or witnessed the event. One of the forum entries mentioned zero vis. After reading about Mr Thompsons credentials, panicking sounds doubtful. He...

Depends on which way the wind blows. Northside is fine for shore diving most of the summer except when the hurricanes hit. The island is so small it doesn't matter where you rent. South side has beautiful homes and pools, 1 out of 5 days it will be calm enough to dive. I dive mostly Spot...

all ports on my cyklon are 1/8" . they have an adapter LP to 3/8 and HP to 7/16. Mark which is which so you don't mix them up. They are stamped on the first stage. Adapters about 10 dollars apiece.

Love my poseidon. Anyone can service them. Simple and bullet proof. Mine is a 1974 Cyklon 300 that has been used for ice diving and tropical diving. Beat on, abused and still works great. Here is a copy of a repair manual, pretty simple...

Chitons are said to taste like abelone, only a bit more tender. I was told they are popular in Phillipines and some areas of the Caribbean. Cheers

Believe it or not, I was told the most endangered shell on Brac is the Chiton. Apparently it is popular with certain residents as a food source. According to a Brac artist, only Caymanians with permits can collect them now. Don't know the accuracy of his statement, but he talks for hours...
