A printed list is a great idea as a starting point. Perhaps try this: Mentally breaking down the skills into each individual segment that makes up the whole. Write that up. Present it to your CD at your next session for some feedback. Correct as necessary. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE...

I have literally dove all over the world: anything from gunky quarries in North America to bottomless walls in Palau. I have never heard of anyone trying to charge "extra" for "healthy coral"! As others have said, I sincerely doubt any portion of this surcharge would go anywhere except in your...

While several of your points make sense regarding sharing language/culture with the Instructor from whom you are taking a scuba course, where in the OP's post does he indicate the nationality of the Instructor? Or even that there was a language/cultural barrier? IMHO the points of the original...

As has already been detailed by several other Instructors, confined water sessions may be carried out in an area where there is a shallow & deep area, plus "pool like conditions" in terms of visibility, little or no waves, etc. However, given the conditions that you were in during your initial...

Ok, apparently it's a Java 7 issue. And it's not just with this chat add-on, but with anything else that is java dependent. The Internet is just not liking Java 7! :shocked2: After downgrading to FF 13 & seeing no improvement, I uninstalled Java 7 and installed Java 6. And now chat works again...

Nope. The Skype plugin has always been disabled. I am becoming convinced that this is an issue with Java 7. Meanwhile, I have downgraded back to FF 13 because frankly, a lot of add-ons are not compatible with 14. FF 15 is scheduled to come out Aug 28th and I may upgrade to that version because...

Yes, I tried doing the "fix" through the Java control panel but unfortunately it didn't work. :shakehead: So I now have a support ticket open with AddonInteractive. Hopefully, we can work together to sort this out. ---------- Post Merged at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous Post was at 10:37 PM...

Ooh... is THAT ever a loaded question!!! :shocked2: BCs, like women, come in all different sizes. I advise choosing the one that fits comfortably with the most common exposure protection that you wear. Could be a jacket, could be a hybrid, could be bp/w. Use whatever works best for you.

My business; my network; my computer... as always. ;) ---------- Post Merged at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous Post was at 07:35 PM ---------- After a brief search on AddonInteractive's forums, I found this thread: Chat room not loading for a user. - AddonInteractive Community Forum...

HowardE, I understand that the Chat is an add-on, but those of us using it have no recourse to bring our issues to you (SB) because this is where we are experiencing the problem. We have no way to contact the Chat developer/host. I just updated to FF 14.0.1 (even though I wanted to wait until...

I know this issue has been marked as "closed" but I am experiencing the same issue. I have FF 13.0.1, all my plug ins (Java, flashplayer, etc.) are up to date, but chat refuses to load. I just get the blank screen with the little circular loading tickler that Java sometimes displays when it is...

This one could be a Bigeye Emperor, but it's kind of hard to tell -- See picture below. ---------- Post Merged at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous Post was at 03:20 PM ---------- Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to find that original picture. However, I did find a similar one indicating...

This is probably what you don't want to hear, but I would recommend a drysuit. JMHO,

Hope that helped!

I'm sorry, but just don't understand the need to put on any make up while engaged in a sport, let alone scuba. It just gets in my way! :kiss2:

As you may or may not have read on here before, the only "stupid" question is the one that isn't asked. So kudos for asking! :thumb: There usually are at least two ways to dump your BC: 1) Tug your inflator hose. This will activate the main quick dump mechanism on your BC. 2) Learn where your...

Ok, how about "don't do it because you will DIE." Just as someone who is not properly trained should not scuba dive, divers who are not properly trained should not dive in overhead environments.

With all due respect, breath holding is NOT a skill that should be fostered in scuba diving. If you are performing any skill u/w where the reg is out of your mouth, you'd better be blowing bubbles, or you will earn a 1. The technique that needs to be honed is one of learning to blow bubbles...

Generally, it's a correct attitude that skills comprising the Skill Circuit should be performed to "demonstration quality", which means breaking them down into their individual components and slowly going through each component until the skill if finished. However, the gear exchange is an...

There are several keys to doing this exercise: 1) RELAX. Do it SLOWLY. It's not a race, it's an exercise in problem solving. IF it takes more than one pass back & forth of the reg for you to get out of your bc, so what? 2) Get into a rhythm with your buddy. Are you going to take 3 breathes &...
