Cool, thanks for the link. Does anyone have anything like this for the other certs? Thanks Darin

Hi all, Hope ya can help. I'm looking for a place that lists the practical skills requirements for all of the Padi classes. I wasn't sure what skills I had to perform until I showed up to the OW class. Padi's website doesn't seem to list this info.. Is there somewhere I can find these...

Hi all, Just a quick note on Jaime, my wife. We finished the pool session/classroom stuff today and Jaime did fantastic! She was very apprehensive about the class today because she had a few (normal) difficulties yesterday. She got through it like a pro, I’m so proud of her! She was...

Thanks all for the info. I am familiar with other metals, like ss and other steels (I'm a gunsmith). I do know there are areas where Ti is not good for, like high shock or other areas. But for wearability and strength-to-weight, it can't be beat. I knew there were some downsides to Ti...

Ah, ya'll should be so lucky. My wife brought me home a new dive knife! And a titanium one at that! Gotta love her. So, I know almost zero about Ti other than it's lighter than steel and stronger, and won't rust. But, I thought Ti was fairly brittle? Is this true or what? Anyone ever had any...

After doing some research and a lot of reading, I'm left with the question of how safe is diving, really? I know the books say that it is "one of the safest sports" but there seems to be a never ending series of "Don't do ____" and "Don't do that" etc. Is the relative safety of diving due...

I think the company you are asking about is liquid fit. I haven't done any business with them but I've heard that the lady that runs it is great to deal with. Here's a link to their website- http://liquidfit.com/ Darin

Hey Rick, Just wanted to let you know that I admire your spirit. :thumbs_up: I'd dive with ya anytime...We need more people like you in this world to stop feeling sorry for themselves and just go do it. Darin

Wow, and here I thought I was the only one… I have the same diagnosis. But I only found out about it about two years ago. I was thinking it was an old football injury that never really healed right. I don’t have the same symptoms as you, but it does flair up every now and then, usually if...

Hi all, My wife and I will be taking the OW class in the next month or so. I was just curious, what are the academic and/or swimming requirements? What skills need to be mastered during the class? I heard something about a swim test? Is that in scuba gear or what? I know that I for one am...

Hi all, Dosen't seem to be much activity on the AZ forum, is everyone gone diving? I'm new to AZ (and diving) and found this place and I was surprised to find one just for us. Anyway, just thought I'd say "hi" and see if there was anyone else here.... Darin

Hi all, I'm mew here too. My wife and I are just starting to take up scuba and while checking things out on the net, found this place. Anyway, if anyone has some advise for new divers, let me know. I know by experience on other forums there is a flood of questions of "whats the best ____."...
