    Christo Lube Alternatives

    Sorry to revive an old thread but I'd be extremely careful with NRT 8900, as it appears to be rated only to 70 Bar (just over 1000 PSI). ---------- Post added September 12th, 2015 at 03:48 PM ---------- http://www.yairerez.co.il/pic/2384a6ed_59ce_4b94_a085_27b8a720a808.pdf lists many of the...

    Firmware Version 0.80

    I just received a Nautilus Lifeline with firmware version 0.80. The software indicates that it is up to date. I see, on the website, that version 1.00 was taken down in favor of 0.76. There is no reference on the website to 0.80. While I normally wouldn't care what version of firmware I am...

    O-ring pn 20-2010-31 (black w/ white dot)

    Does anyone know the internal diameter and external diameter of Atomic O-ring pn 20-2010-31 (black w/ white dot)? I had one of these high pressure, first stage, o-rings pop on me less than half the time between recommended service intervals. The shop that serviced my regs is about a 3 hour...

    Validity of bodily injury liability waivers

    I've not disappeared; I just haven't yet had a chance to go through the cases I've pulled but I would like to reply to a few comments I've seen in catching up on this thread. If the defendant(s) have tried having the lawsuit dismissed on the basis of waiver or estoppel, based upon the signed...

    Validity of bodily injury liability waivers

    While you may generally limit potential suits to courts which would have jurisdiction over your place of business, I am far from confident that you can insist on all claims being heard in federal court. In fact, I'll go the extra step to say I would very much doubt that is universally...

    Validity of bodily injury liability waivers

    Started pulling cases from the PDF linked earlier in the thread. 802 So.2d 420 (2001) is not Goeden v. CM III, Inc., as listed in the document but rather Gold v. Gold, a case with merely PCA in lieu of an opinion. Heck, Lexis will get some use today.

    Validity of bodily injury liability waivers

    There are *relatively* few cases involving SCUBA waivers so I would be happy with any U.S. jurisdiction. That said, FL is my primary interest. The link you provided has some excellent citations. I will pull some of them to see if I can dig up some more recent citing cases. Thanks!

    Validity of bodily injury liability waivers

    That makes sense except for the fact that the waiver may not always make it to a jury. If a judge, as a matter of law, rules on a motion in limine to exclude it, it doesn't matter what the jury would think, as the jury will never be aware that it exists. Put simply, questions of law go to the...

    Validity of bodily injury liability waivers

    While you are indeed correct with gross negligence not being able to be waived, the question I wonder if whether the negligence of the operators, instructors, charters, agencies may be waived by the diver. I have no doubt that the diver may well be liable for injuries sustained by his or her own...

    Validity of bodily injury liability waivers

    I've seen quite a few bodily injury liability waivers purporting to indemnify dive operators, instructors, charters, agencies, etc from liability resulting from their own negligence, whether active or passive. I've also seen lawsuits where these liability waivers are apparently unenforceable, as...

    Stiching on brand new Zeagle 911

    I don't disagree but my primary concern was making sure I can dive with the thing. Given the cost of getting the custom swatches on it, I wasn't hugely concerned with postage. Had they asked me to pay for shipping both ways, I would have raised a stink.

    Stiching on brand new Zeagle 911

    This is a brief update. I just got my BC back from Zeagle and had a chance to glance at it. I paid for shipping to them and they paid for return shipping back to me. Zeagle informed me that the BC simply had some loose threads where indicated. Zeagle pulled them out and returned to BC as is...

    Brevard Reef Sites #1 & 2

    Ladies and gentlemen: Anyone (preferably AOW or OW with at least 30 dives) interested in diving the artificial reefs located roughly 10 miles ESE of Port Canaveral? My wife and I have been interested in diving these. The 148-foot Domocles freighter is at Lat 28 24.427 Lon 80 16.713. It sits at...

    FL Cavern instructor

    Thanks for the message, NetDoc. While I am happy to PM you with who I end up training with, I am concerned he or she will end up chloroformed, chopped into tiny pieces, and fed to pigs if I mention his or her name on this thread. Some folks seem to be frothing at the mouth to find something to...

    FL Cavern instructor

    So my asking for a cavern instructor who "meets or exceeds all established training standards for NSS-CDS and/or IANTD" suggests that I'm starting to fit the profile of someone who has an attitude of not needing cave training? I fail to see how but I suppose if you think it somehow fits the...

    FL Cavern instructor

    That sneaky "dangerous attitude" is very insidious! You almost have to sniff it out. Thankfully there are folks like you and certain, privileged, others who are apparently able to divine, likely through esoteric means, "dangerous attitude[s]." Are you also able to spot witches so that we'll know...

    FL Cavern instructor

    How did you do your cavern certification? Did you do it as a formal, multiple day, class? Did you do the club diving thing and learn with a club instructor? I would love to take the certification class on the slower side but I don't know how that is practically possible to do if you aren't...

    FL Cavern instructor

    You might clarify what it is that you're hinting at because I can promise you it's not as clear as you might think.

    FL Cavern instructor

    Where did you get the impression that I was picking the lowest bidder instructor? I made it abundantly clear, in my initial post, that I'm willing to pay more than what appears to be the standard rate if it means improved quality of instruction. I've never stated anything about taking an...

    FL Cavern instructor

    To you: It's not a problem; mistakes happen. I appreciate everyone's comments, whether in support of my stance or simply constructive criticism. To others: The rabble rousing comments from folks who don't have the basic capability of expressing an argument with logic aren't very compelling. If...
