I agree with all of these. Not even close. In my travels, I see full foot fins every where I go, but they are never very common. In some areas almost all of them are guided. In others, very few are guided. Most dives in Bonaire are not guided. Most dives in Florida are not guided...

I'm not sure lots of people agree with you on what should go in which forum. Case in point:

Please explain how scales know they are on the moon. Exactly, therefore a balance will give the correct result when you are determining mass (kg or slugs), but when you are measuring weight (lbs or newtons) the result will be incorrect. Mass does not change depending on gravity, but weight...

That's because I did not contadict myself, but kanonfodr obviously sees something I'm not seeing. I strongly suspect he's making a mistake, but I'm open to the possibility the mistake was mine. It wouldn't be the first time... To avoid confusion, let's refer to devices that do not use a...

I don't see it, please explain.

I've always thought so too, but I'm not making those decisions for SB. BS. Every forum on the entire board should be polite and friendly. Green zones go way beyond that and discourage debate. Anytime I'm posting in a green zone, I'm wondering if someone will twist my words to take...

Because it is no longer for basic SCUBA discussions. We are told over and over that the forum is for new divers and they have to be treated gently least we bruise their delicate feelings. First, this isn't the tchnical diving forum, there is one specifically for technical diving with...

Too bad we can't see any of the readings on you watch in ether video.

Perhaps they were merely trying to avoid: Looking at the various forums, there isn't really a forum for what most of us would consider basic SCUBA discussions or advanced SCUBA discussions. Since the Advanced Scuba Discussions forum is less restrictive of discussions, the bulk of those...

Interesting. Slug Slug Slug Slug (gotta scroll down on this one) Slug

It wasn't even close, but it was a true dive computer and it predates the EDGE. I'll take the EDGE any day. The only problems with the EDGE were battery life and its o-ring. They fixed the o-ring, but changing batteries every two days sucked. I only knew one person who had one. He won it...

The Deco Brain came out about a year before the EDGE (Electrinic Dive GuidE).

If the block of wood floats (very likely), it would displace less than 10 lbs of water. Not really. The pound is a measurement of force/weight, not mass. The imperial unit of mass is the slug. A gram is a metric measurement of mass while the newton is the metric measurement of...

Are you sure you didn't mean Titanic 2? That sucked! Bad story, bad writing, bad acting and then it just ended. Did they run out of film? Open Water sucked! Sometimes they even printed the film backward so we saw a mirror image with the LPI on the right and regs on the left. The story...

You don't live in the US, the OP does.

All of those and many more are recognized anywhere you'll want to dive, so that is not an issue. I would suggest looking at all of them and other options for quality of education, not price. Read my post here to find out exactly how to go about that.

The Constitution has not given the federal government the authority to regulate SCUBA diving. It has also not given the federal government the authority to mandate buying anything. Your proposal is unconstitutional for more than one reason.

Isn't the question about what has changed in the last 15 years? 2011 - 15 = 1996. Not much. SMBs are more common now. Nitrox is more common now. Split fins were unheard of in 1996. Nothing else really comes to mind.

That was not the issue. Most coffee is sold at 135 - 140°F. At the time this took place, 1992, McDonalds sold their coffee at 180 - 190°F. Had the coffee been at a temperature less than 155°F, she would not have been seriously injured. As it was, she received 3rd degree burns over 6% of her...

He used it in the aquarium at the beginning of the first episode.
