    Have any divers ever used the Cannery Row Inn?

    If you are comfortable with that price, I'd go to the Portola Plaza Hotel (ask for the AAA rate, if you are a member of AAA). Easy from BW, a five min. stroll to the Wharf, and as you know BW isn't really that far from the BW. Even a lowest cost room there (the streetside rooms) are quite nice.

    How do you get purchases by your spouse?

    A few years back, I thought my wife might want jewelry for a b-day but I couldn't decide on anything, so I asked her what she wanted... She responded "a really nice jigsaw would be nice..."...I went "huh?" and got her the jigsaw.... She loves it. :)

    Buying at drysuit at a dive show

    Or, wait until you've finished instructor training (after DM, yes indeed...but maybe worth the wait) and buy it at a keyman price. :) I'm not an instructor, but a friend who recently became one has told some great stories about discounts he's received. I, of course, have to pay retail...

    Is selling Life Support Equipment on the Net Ethical ?

    Cool...We have an LDS representative that believes that internet sales (scutabtoys, LP, etc) isn't hurting them, and the business model an internet retailer uses (who also has a store location, as I understand) will die off. Frankly, I think the internet businesses (in one form, or another)...

    How do you get purchases by your spouse?

    I think this thread is rather interesting.... I must have the right wife..... I wanted a $300 speargun and she said "You've wanted a drysuit for awhile now, why don't you get it instead?" So, I obviously did get the [$2000] drysuit... Then, six months later, she told me to buy the...

    3 Minute safety stop - required?

    NDL's are called no decompression limits for a reason...They are the times where a test case well-fit person will likely not get DCS if they surface on or before those times... Divers who dive within the NDL's do three minute stops to increase their safety...Not required, but I do them...

    I've found great prices at diveus.com....James in the online sales area is very service-oriented. They are in San Diego, so far as I recall.

    Is selling Life Support Equipment on the Net Ethical ?

    I think I know why you think it is unethical...heh...As you said, mail order and internet sales are similar...and you did say that mail order takes away from your bottom line...(big hint here...) So, by analogy (yours, not mine) you must also believe mail order sales off net are unethical...

    Monterey Conditions in October

    I've never had sea life at the Breakwater try to bite me, but a crab did get a bit testy once... The sea lions might play with you by zooming around you much faster than you might expect, and once or twice might take a nibble at your fins...But, I've not been threatened underwater by sea...

    New to diving, would this be a knife I could use?

    No, for many reasons....Similar to the thoughts in the other thread you had about carrying a gun underwater, this knife is not designed for cutting the things a normal diver needs to cut...It won't help you much with fishing line, kelp (if you can't just break it), prying things, etc. Get...

    Bangsticks, guns, other?

    Dude, I think you need to examine your motives for carrying things like this... Bangsticks are generally used for killing huge fish that are after you. But, your question about carrying a gun leaves your inquiry suspect... Why do you feel you need to carry "protection" while diving? What...
