I think you and your instructor are talking about two different things. Or at least that's what I can infer from the bolded sentences above. If you are running a wireless AI computer, the transmitter goes directly on one of the high pressure ports on your regulator (although some people run the...

I've lost my mask twice, both due to brain farts! The first time was while getting OW certified doing a rough surf entry. I didn't listen to my instructor and didn't hold my mask in place while wading out pass the breakers. The second time was a few years later assisting during and open water...

How often are you diving DIN vs Yoke? Does the conversion quote you got include the price of the yoke assembly? Either way it seems rather excessive to buy a whole new set up or spend that kind of money for an easy change. I'll even send you my old DST yoke assembly if I can find it...

Hello simmitop! I'm also 6'5" and a long torso. Most scuba gear off of the shelf does not fit me properly and I've had to MacGyver most of my gear to make it fit. Except the DSS Long Pattern plates I have a Kydex and a stainless steel plate. What you experience with the typical rental BCD...

Laughable? Call me crazy for actually listening to what the op wanted and recommending a dive computer with all the features listed. If you actually wanted to pick a valid bone with my recommendation you could have said the Aeris A300 CS is better choice than mine given what the op wanted. I...

Trimix and 6 gases vs 3 nitrox gases ;) But the op does not look like he's interested in Trimix and that's why I recommended the DG03!

So, does it have everything on the list or it doesn't? Too funny! To the OP, the Hollis DG03 is a wrist mounted computer, the bungee mount is inexpensive and you can add a transmitter for AI...

Cozumel and Roatan would be my choices too... Cave tubing in Belize was fun for our family. Diving from the cruise in Belize was not that great; It's way better if you are staying there.

I do get my students to the prone position on the floor or grass to teach finning and proper trim. I signal "superman position" with my arms extended forward or "too cool for school" with my arms crossed across my chest. Doing this on land right before confined water sessions has worked well for...

Or taken a tandem sky diving jump... You go from class to jump in less than 1 hour. Even discover scuba takes longer than that!

I bought "No one can hear you scream at 200 ft" in Coz. Dive with Martin had it as their staff shirt in 2007, but I've seen the same graphic in other places. My wife sneered at me when I showed her the one on the picture above, I bought it anyway! The best shirts I've seen are made by this...

That video made my rather mundane afternoon much more bearable... Very funny! Thanks for sharing

Excellent, thanks! Yes maybe when you get back... I'd like to talk about your trimix class too!

Had another great day helping out with Diveheart this past Saturday! Here are a couple of pictures one of the therapists in attendance shared with me: Pete, notice how J.C. stole a page from my book and started to teach without fins and amazingly enough... His...

Hey Capt.? Can we arrange a double dip on the SG next Saturday morning? I have 2 maybe 3 besides myself.

The requirement back then was to use unicorns or dragons not ponies. :)

Horrible conditions to be in a class!!!

PantherDiver, If what you are saying is true and I have no reason to doubt you, just getting to dive the pony bottle should be the least of your concerns. Let's say you do call PADI and they side with you and point out what everyone else has said here regarding redundant air supplies; Do you...

I remember renting the first HERO GoPro for a 30 second spot and thinking I had to get one myself; I did and still use it just not as often as when I first got it. What this company has done with the product in such a short time is amazing and makes my original HERO seem like a toy in terms of...

I've been on Carnival and Royal Caribbean a few times and didn't really find much difference. We try to book our cruises on fairly new ships (2 or 3 year old ships at the most) there can be marked differences between a new ship and and old ship regardless of the cruise line. We also book our...
