It doesn't list ALL of the specialties, but you can get one that lists EAN. At the very least, this shows at a glance that you have Rescue, Nitrox, and at least 50 logged dives. Worth it in my book.

Is chiming in with an opinion no one asked for also European?

Just remember that dive planning goes right up until the time you make the dive. If you are geared up and about to splash when it occurs to you that something about the dive is well beyond your training, you still need to find a solution or call the dive. The last charter I was out on, the...

First - the charter...I don't know how it is done in SC, but my experience on the Great Lakes is that even if the captain doesn't know what site he is going to specifically, he will have some idea of what range of sites he will go to, be it a wreck in 45 ft vs. a wreck in 130 ft. Current and...

Agreed on Mike (Npursuit). The shallow wrecks on the south end of Lake Michigan and off of Chicago are much more conducive to a less experienced diver than the more popular ones further north. If you do get the itch to go further north, to Racine or Milwaukee, I would recommend Capt. Jerry...

Excellent! Bari Reef is one of the sites we plan to hit a few times. If I recall, that's the house reef at Sand Dollar. Maybe we'll connect to team up for a dive and lunch sometime.

First, glad to hear you are back safe and sound, and looking for answers. The first lesson to be learned here is situational awareness. The deeper you go, the more likely (in most cases) that you will run out of no-deco time before you run LOA. 128 ft with no residual nitrogen at the...

Thanks El. Just discovered that myself, too. Don't have to download all of your PMs. If you check the boxes next to the messages you want to read, then select download to TXT, only selected messages will download. We all appreciate what you guys are doing to get our community back on its...

SB1 has gone down and come back up again, but still no joy in PM land for me... :(

Hey folks! Thanks to all of the crew for getting the site back up and running. I have a new PM in my inbox that was sent this morning which I am unable to open. I have been able to send PMs, and I am able to open old PMs, but not this new one. Anyone else have a problem like this? When I...

I have one PM that the board won't let me open. It was received this morning. I believe it is my first post-crash PM. I can open threads, reply, and even open older PMs, but not this one. Weird.

Now there's a credible news source for ya... :rolleyes:

ETnScuba - I'll keep in touch with ya. Liz - thanks for the invite. I am sure we'll take ya up on it.... ;)

If anyone starts playing "I got you, Babe", I am going to go homicidal maniac. :D

I will be staying at Buddy Dive with a group of 6 from October 6-13. Just wanted to shout out and see if anyone else will be on the island while we are out there. :)

I wouldn't be worried about the tarpons' teeth, but the thought has crossed my mind before that if one of those puppies ran into you at a good clip, you could come out of it with busted ribs or worse...Heck, I've had tarpon look at me funny a few times and they gave me chills. Not sure if there...

That was my thought, too. I would suggest posting a message in the Zeagle subforum to see what Scott would recommend doing. Perhaps this situation could be correctly remedied without selling and replacing the entire rig. Might be less cost-prohibative...

Currents still work somewhat the same way. Swim perpendicular to or along with the current, depending on which will get you to safety first. Swimming against the current will still only wear you out and eventually kill you. If the current is a longshore current, swimming perpendicular to it...

Mike - I am a DMC. I would love to look up the standards, but I can't as I do not yet have an instructor's manual. That is a story for a whole different discussion. However, I would not read the above statement to have anything to do with a mastery of anything. It was another poster who...

Ok....maybe I am splitting hairs here, but I don't think so...where exactly in the quote below from the standards does it say anything about "mastery?" The swim on the CW1 stays on the shallow end of the pool, maintains a single depth, and is the student's first experience with bouyancy...
