    Favorite LDS?

    Who is your favorite LDS(s) and what is it you like about them? My "Local" DSs are in San Antonio and after the experiences I've had with each I choose to take my business to the furthest from me, which is Duggan Diving. I think their prices are fair and the people are friendly. John, the...

    Typical cost of DM course

    I am considering beginning the PADI Divemaster course. From the research I've done already, I've found only a few LDS which post their prices for the course. Of the ones I've seen, it sounds as if $600 is an average price range for the course. 1. Is this a fairly standard cost for the this...

    Fair Market Value for used AL 80's

    I have a local person who is looking to sell three Luxfer Aluminum 80s. Two have an original hydro date of 1996 and one from 1986. From reading discussions I see the Luxfer from 1986 would be made from the 6351 alloy and best not to purchase. The two tanks from 1996 were last hyrdoed and...

    Sea Lice?

    A friend of mine visited Pensecola a few months back and came back with what was later guessed to be sea lice. She had been walking on the beach collecting shells early in the morning and figures she may have gotten it from the shell she collected. After doing some reading it sounds like it is...

    Do you have an opinion on this?

    I'm looking to purchase a used BCD for my son who will take the Jr OW course this spring/summer. I dive a SeaQuest Pro QD and enjoy it, so I'm thinking of getting the same for him. I think a jacket-style would be best for him so he won't have to fight a wing while on the surface. For a...

    Cleaning Found Items

    What is the best way to clean the river gunk and smell off of sunglasses, etc, found in lakes and rivers? I've tried soaking them in warm water, which helps with the gunk, but not the smell. I added a little vinegar to the water, now I have sunglasses that smell like pickled river glasses :D...

    PADI Master Diver Rating

    I see info all of the time for Dive Master, but haven't found anything for a class on the Master Diver rating. For awhile I had been thinking about completing the requirements for Master Diver and then go the Dive Master route later if I wanted to pursue it. But, then I started thinking, is...

    Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach

    I am researching a possible vacation to the Bahamas for my wife and I. I dive, but my wife only snorkels and probably will only do that once or twice. So far, I like Viva Wyndham because it looks like they have plenty of activities to keep her busy while I'm diving, and plenty to do in the...

    Mansfield Dam Park or Windy Point Park?

    I'm trying to plan a camping trip for a buddy and I's families. I'd like to stay for two days, but need to find a place that provides plenty to keep the kids busy so they don't drive the wives crazy. As we all know, upset spouses equals no diving, so keeping the kids occupied long enough to...
