    Home Owners Association - Going Ballistic

    To me it sounds like you first need to educate the HOA to me. If that doesn’t work: "Cans of compressed air"? Technically speaking a scuba tank is a cylinder, not a can. According to IMDG (the international maritime standard used to ship products) (the tanks fall under Class 2.2...

    Jacksonville

    I have to correct you on two things. The northside isn't bad, east of I-95. And as for the westside I wouldn't live there, if you paid me to live there. Just my 2 cents.

    I signed up for a local dive trip, diving wrecks in Superior. The person at the dive shop mention that they are offering a wreck diving specialty course the same weekend, when I asked about the costs in taking the course I was told $240! This got me wondering what the average costs of the...

    Reading through some of the previous posts, it made me laugh. Some of you had really nice places to begin diving. I began diving in commerce lake in Commerce Township MI. The check out dives were done on a 90-100 degree day. I remember roasting in a 7 mil farmer john.:coolingoff: Then we...

    What did you buy that you regret?

    Buying a Dacor Rig Pro BCD. I love the back inflate, and will never go back but.... Even with religious care and washings the material that the BCD is made out of does not hold up. A couple of years ago the integrated weight pockets gave up. Shortly after this the outer material...

    SPOT - Satelite Personal Tracker - A Global EPIRB Alternative

    EPRB's are only accurate to a 3 mile area (if I recall correctly). I would love to know the accuracy of the SPOT. If it was my money I would have a singnal flare on me, a whistle, and a signal mirror. Much less costly, and no delay in a computer processing the signal and relaying to...
