I sent them the question at the sane time I posted here. They haven't replied yet.

That is typically how it works. I would recommend erring on the safe side and making sure that the place you want to finish will take the referral though. There is also something called a universal referral. In many cases, you don't have to finish with a PADI shop if the place you are going...

I bought a Fix S95 housing when they first came out. I just now finally got a chance to take it on a dive trip. The problem is, the rear control wheel keeps actuating the buttons. In particular, the timer button. Any ideas on how to make it stop doing that?

If that's true it's not a PADI problem. Its one of two things. Either you just haven't seen the other students learn the other skills or they are violating standards. And, I have no idea what any of that has to do with this thread.

I leave the valve open all the way and fill er up. In time, you'll be able to feel the bubble and know when its too full. Sometimes, I'll even close the valve some and put more air in. My theory - I want as much gas in the suit as I can and still manage the bubble. That's how you stay nice...

If its his image to sell, its worth the price he sets on it. If someone thinks that's too high, then they just don't use it. Calling someone a troll for complaining when their photo is (allegedly) taken without so much as asking is poor form (imho).

How was the original post not a site support issue? If someone's property has been taken, they should be allowed to be a little upset and they shouldn't be ridiculed for it. Instead, there are a bunch of posts, some from staff, arguing about how ridiculous it is to complain about the...

I was pretty sure even under the new guidelines you gave to do both.

Got a pic? Is it a Cobra 3 with a different name in Canada?

You never said how old they are. It's not all that uncommon either. A little aquamend should fix you up.

Number one, do not go to 90 feet as a new drysuit diver. I can't believe your instructor would have you do that. Stay around twenty feet till you have yourself sorted out. Ideally you can dive somewhere with a soft bottom so this won't happen again. I just don't see how even as a new diver you...

I think he means the boater ticketed for coming too close to the flag. I've never seen it.

Why not get the camera to be more neutral if that's the reason you need so much extra buoyancy?

There is such a thing as a nitrox tank. Tanks labeled with green/yellow stickers are nitrox tanks so non nitrox divers know it isnt air and they shouldn't use it. The tanks are different because of the labeling.

If you want to save money buy the xtx 50 second stage. Other than a bit of shiny stuff on the cover, the 50, 100 and 200 second stages are identical.

I have the Miflex. Its a mixed bag. Its light and very flexible, but it likes to twist in a certain way. It works for me, but others don't care for it and prefer rubber. It is also slightly abrasive due to the braided exterior. Some that dive only in warm water don't care for it rubbing on...

Welcome! I'm not available next weekend, but perhaps another time. When I first moved to the area, I did a local fun dive at the quarry because I didn't have a buddy and wanted to do some diving. There is a dive shop in Fairfax called The Dive Shop. They actually have the lease on the quarry...

I'm glad to hear you can do so much (I don't think I can do that and I'm not disabled at all), and I hope the physician clears you. Although, I have to admit it doesn't sound like you are 70% disabled if you can do all that. I urge caution about being so vocal or perhaps overstating your...

Mine just gets tossed in the reg bag. The hoses do a pretty good job keeping it from the first stages. Never had a scratch or anything due to storing in this way.

The wife has an Atom 2.0. I know I changed the battery on it. I'm pretty sure it even came with the spanner tool.
