I really liked the flowers and greenery in picture "C". Does it help attract the fish?;) Sorry. I couldn't resist. I'm not much help on the gear, though. It looks like its routed correctly. I'd follow the advise about the hose protectors and ignore the part about chunking the regs. Jarhead

Besides the reverse block: Antihistimines increase the oxygen transfer from the lungs to the blood. IF you are diving with Nitrox (near its MOD) it increases your chances of a CNS Ox Tox hit. Jarhead

1.) USA 2.) Yes, since 1998(?) 3.) Mexico, Puerto Rica, Virgin Islands, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Isreal, Egypt, Somalia, Kenya, Tunisia, and Morocco. Jarhead PS: Most of these were at Uncle Sam's invitation and didn't need a passport.

How do you really feel about it? :) Jarhead

Looks like I did miss a couple of interesting dives. Although, I don't think my 3mm wetsuit would have been sufficent for 50F. Keep me in mind for next trip though. I'll have to rent tanks anyway, so I'll just add a 7mm to the rental bill. Jarhead

Solo Dive Cert. Standards

I thought that was what we already had. (If the instructor doesn't cut any corners). The difference is how far they go above the standards and where they place extra emphasis. Jarhead

True. Not really. They just disagree an agency sanctioning it. Jarhead

Only on an empty racetrack. :) I don't consider 55 with a seatbelt safe around here. Jarhead

The first one went right over my "backwoods" head. This one cleared it up. Mike doesn't have a problem with poorly taught solo diver classes. Mike has a problem with ANY solo diving classes. The agencies have taught for years" NEVER DIVE ALONE!". Now an agency comes out with a solo diver...

If I want to "legally" drive without a seatbelt, I'll drive my truck. Believe it or not, in Georgia, trucks are considered "farm vehicles" and seatbelt use is not required. (In Georgia, seatbelts are only required in the front seats of cars, SUVs, van, etc). Jarhead PS: We always use our...

You keep teaching the correct way to do things. Solo Divers keep diving the way they already do. (They didn't ask permission before and they aren't going to pay someone to let them do what they are already doing). Everyone ignores the solo diving class and it eventually goes away due to a...

I feel that discussions and arguments about solo diving make about as much sense as discussions and arguments about mandatory seatbelt laws. I can't make anyone wear a seatbelt. I can't make anyone dive with a buddy. Can you? Jarhead

The one with the gray-scale pics. Jarhead

Will I be assimilated? Jarhead

Congratulations Heather and Jeff! Jarhead
