Thank you for your assistance as well! Namaste!

tbone1004 Hmmm….how can I put this? You.Are.The.Man!

Well, my esteemed LDS broke the knob off my my scuba tank (it has a Genesis valve on it) and no, they did not offer to fix it. So, simple simple, I order a new knob and replace it right? Oh, you would think so! The screw and square attachment point for the knob on a Genesis tank valve is just a...

Done!

Get a little more water time in some diverse enviroments. That being said, Rescue is one of the most fun classes out there.

+1 for cheap ass octo retainers.

Can't stand the place. It has become so run down over the years. The babysitters who run the place are not solo-friendly (without some fake-ass certification).

I like www.diverecord.com however, there is not a lot of site support these days, but it works just fine. Captures a lot of info very easily. All printable too.

Soft weights in integrated pockets provide less wear/tear on the BCD. Unless the belt is going to carry the bulk (read: majority) of the weight it wont hold you down if you remove the BCD underwater. However, wearing both is not unusual at all.

Talking to a longtime friend, I found out that he has dove, but is not certified. This friend has dove several times over the years in Florida. He has never had a problem getting an air fill. We have never dove together. While I have no love for PADI (my cert agency), there are other great cert...

I think Jewel hit a lot of my feelings right on the head.

Okay, so I (the customer) am supposed to wait even longer (remember, the only reason I had to wait until Monday was because the first guy wanted to "go home early"- he could have completed the entire vip and fill within his POSTED store hours) and then "parent shop" after the fact, until I got...

I am now down to two (even remotely in my area) that I "trust." The only one I really liked closed back in 1994. I'll stick to buying most everything online.

I'm on Fire - Bruce Springstein

The guy on Sat was co-owner, the person on Monday was the other half of that co-ownership (I guess I should have said that). It does not get any higher up than that.

Okay, so after a couple years, I returned to a LDS with high hopes (okay, really just basic hopes, everyone knows my opinion on LDSs). I was there on Saturday to get an air fill. Guy working says $10. Cool. Then says the tank needs a Vis. No problem (my bad, afterall). I ask, "How much?" His...

I was in one the other day and told the guy I would be returning later to pick something else up. He said, "Well, I might leave early." Now, I do not know if this was an attempt to get me to buy the item at that time instead of returning later or what. The sign says "Open til 6," here is a...

Main Difference: Surf shop couldn't care less if you bought your board online.

Got a bunch of Mares stuff. Typically good quality. But with any brand you might get "that one" bad piece.

Just today I threw a bunch of gear (weight belt, pockets, 3mm shortie wetsuit, booties gloves, integrated weight pouches, etc) into the washing machine on medium load. I used the same detergent I use for hunting gear (Tink's). Everything came out perfectly...and odor free! Don't be a scaredy cat!
