granted, but now you've developed a water allergy. i wish scubajess wasn't allergic to water

i think i may have misread some of your earlier statements--my bad. but glad to know that your dive went ok. :smile:

unfortunately, they didn't take advantage of oliver wendell holmes, jr. as a point of light for guidance in how to adjudicate matters of free speech. who knows, maybe someday holmes will be utilized more in the balance of free speech v. dangerous speech by these other democracies. however, it...

so why continue the legacy of intolerance? why not break the cycle by practicing tolerance and respect?

i think you've got to consider what your purpose would be in getting the aow. are you doing it only as a pre-req to taking other classes later? are you doing it in order to become a better diver? are you doing it to attain better training/skills? that said, i got my aow training early in...

i think herein lies the crux of the problem, we seem to be speaking past each other. while the "pro-respecting the superstitious beliefs" posters are suggesting that the customers take a less confrontational and more tolerant view of the bananas-aboard-ship-equals-bad-luck superstition, the...

now you tell me! hmm...i've a bit of a fear of bats (what with the whole rabies thing and all), but chicken costume and duck eggs sounds promising...you sure i can't just rid myself of the bad luck by eating a banana?

the oranges caused me to slip in the tub and hurt myself. the potato chips turned into potato crumbs, soon thereafter i found myself covered in ants. what else do you recommend? :D

you mean we had an option of posting while clothed? i wish someone had told me that when i first joined the forums. :mooner:

i would hope that every man asks for a refund then...otherwise their ladies would be in a world of hurt...4 feet long!

i think you might be narc'd from the low pressure (1 atm) on the surface.

ahh, so that's how you're supposed to pay for scuba gear! now i know. :eyebrow:

to borrow something i picked up from my diving agency during my dive training: when you take classes, you get a chance to meet other people who like to dive--this a good way to meet dive buddies. besides meeting dive buddies though, it's a great way to meet cool people (since only cool people...

i kept my bananas in the freezer, since i figured that w/frozen bananas i wouldn't have to add ice to the smoothies...i don't know why, but i don't think i ever tried just keeping them in the fridge...

hi dd...i just remembered one method i tried as a kid (i'll probably get some grief about this), but i used to stick the bananas in the freezer (frozen bananas + milk + blender = tasty smoothie). while the skin went brown pretty quickly, the bananas' ripening process didn't seem to accelerate...

Split thread from Diving at a reef wall with no bottom in sight.. newb diver here so i've never done a wall dive; i've been doing my descents w/my head up (i thought padi said that's the safest way to descend viz a viz equalization). should i change my descent do horizontal/head slightly down?

the real reason some captains don't allow bananas aboard their boat is because they don't want other people to think of their boats as banana boats: http://images.asia.ru/img/alibaba/photo/51340292/Banana_Boat.jpg ;)

congratulations dr. bill...did you celebrate your 2000th dive by diving in any particular way (e.g., clothing optional in the cold socal waters)?

if the hearing loss and damage are permanent, will further diving make things worse? if further dives won't cause anymore damange, maybe you could still continue to dive, right?

pb, hypothetically speaking, supposing that the forbidden fruit was really a banana and as such you knew it's a sin to eat it. would you then change your tune about bananas and argue that they're not proper for consumption? (please don't see this as an attack on your faith--i also have a...
