I used to work at Best Buy and we had all sorts of idiots there. There were people who believed a TV would blow up (I'm not making this up) if it had Component Video inputs and you hooked up a DVD player with anything other than Component Video cables. Plus almost nobody there knew anything...

The Hendersons are really nice but pretty expensive. The Aqualung Aquaflex and Pinnacles are good too. The Body Glove wetsuits aren't the best, bet they are arguably the best value.

@scubiegirl It's a longer drive for you, obviously, but you may want to consider heading down to Laguna. Dive conditions have been fair this week (8-10ft vis, with 2-4ft surf), and conditions will likely improve by Friday (should be about 10-15ft vis, with 1-2ft surf).

Of the three, I would go with the quattros (actually, of the three, I did go with the quattros :D). It's a very high-quality, almost universally liked, well-made fin offering good control, great propulsion, not much fatigue, and has one of the most comfortable foot pockets on the market. The...

@bryanj58 The answer is so simple! All you need to do is shell out $10,000 for a rebreather and, voila, problem solved! Seriously though, like others have said, it could just be a matter of needing to be more hydrated. You could also try this: Apollo Bio-Filter Regulator Moisture...

They didn't teach us how to respond to posts in OW class :mooner:. Seriously though, I understand how that post seemed. Really, it was just a frustration with the *tone* of, well, everything DevonDiver has written. A number of divers have his level (or something akin to his level) of...

You could try scuba.com. When I went down there a while ago (the actual store is located in Irvine) I was talking to the guy who runs the place (and also does certification) about AOW, and he seemed like a really flexible/reasonable guy. I can't remember his name, but whoever you talk to down...

You might a be a redneck diver if... You think SCUBA stands for: Some Cowboy Underwater Bad-Asses You laugh at your buddies Miflex hoses and show them a REAL hose, made from gen-u-ine braided hay. Your emergency dive kit consists of oxycodone, skoal and Wild Turkey (fur drinkin' not...

You and NWgratefuldiver basically make the same points, but there’s a reason why almost all of his posts are “thanked” and virtually none of yours are. NWgratefuldiver comes across as a highly knowledgeable diver, who is a good person and has genuine concern for his fellow divers. Although you...

I think that some people simply have too much ego to quit giving it.

:rofl3: Sounds like afterwards he needed to go to the chiropracter since diving gave him such a shi*ty back!

Defintely not a picture I should have looked at while eating yogurt... On a side note, does anyone know how the term "warhammer" originated...I mean, I know what an actual warhammer looks like and it doesn't exactly remind me of an underwater deficating man (unless the t*rd was like 30 feet...

Dammit...I think I want everything you've got!

The mask looks kinda like a Big Eyes, kinda like a Mares X-vision...it looks kinda like a number of masks, but I can't tell for sure what it is (i don't think its a Big Eyes because the mask in the video seemed to have some sort of flaring on the side of the lens that I haven't seen before-but...

The only brand I have consistently disliked (in my limited experience) is akona...except for their dive bag. Everything Scubapro and Atomic makes seems to range somewhere between good-great.

Here's what you should know: I don't care what marine biologists think...kelp is a conscious entity and if it doesn't like you or senses fear from you it will attack. If it likes you and you are unafraid (but not cocky) it will move out of your way :D.

blah, blah, blah...

There's so much you don't take into account. All of this stuff you talk about, you talk about in absolute terms, but it's not nearly as absolute as you seem to think it is. What if a person is worse off with a buddy because that buddy is incompetent and thus puts the competent diver into...
