that's pretty cool. never noticed it

This is very accurate. Our second attempt to try them there was a guy bringing sm bottles in for fills who was reprimanded for entering the fill area. This is not something I've experienced at any other dive shop in cave country. Since I have my own home fill station I like to see other places...

Not singling you out, just using your post for reference. The one thing I’m finding is non-local divers are the ones that seem to be ok with do. It seems that us locals who have tried do multiple times are the ones that are really seeing the issues. Not sure if that’s just because we have more...

I have heard this a few times now as well. I just haven’t seen it firsthand to say it’s true. But the numbers of people who have said the same thing as you are hard to not believe

There’s dogs at ee fairly regularly too. But all friendly

Yes. There have been 3 I believe that I know of. None serious. 2 weren’t reported to the owner as the people didn’t think that would go well and they were nips. 1 reported to the owner (and it didn’t go well from what I was told). I will add that 1 I know the person very well and another person...

Or saw no real issue and moved on

And at some point the park realizes people are idiots who can’t stay out when conditions are bad and lock the gates.

I’d like to introduce you to my dive buddies Dunning and Kreuger

Its a misnomer that EE doesn't have sm tanks. They have for years. Believe it or not there's some of us that have gue training that still enjoy sidemount and sidemounted bailout for our non-GUE approved CCRs. EE is also just a dive shop. Although there is clearly a strong, direct link to GUE, EE...

I’m pretty sure fundies is the one class gue has a say in how much can be charged since it’s an entry level class meant to allow people to explore what gue is about. I’m assuming you’re talking about mer

Same. You're not nuts. Or when I send my bov in for service they just do it as standard (Divesoft)

To each his own. The female owner can be very courteous when she wants to be. The male owner is a different story. The sheer number of local divers and regular out of state divers that run from their shop for the same reasons is very telling. There is a difference between being an intelligent...

Not disparaging Edd, but not everyone 100% agrees with everything Edd does or teaches. Nobody's perfect

Now we really agree 120%. Unfortunately that is not really the norm here. There are alot of people who "fix" their buoyancy issues in class, and alot of instructors will pass them because they will "eventually learn as they progress." Theres alot of that in Fl. Including people not having frog...

I wasnt referencing the mod post, I was referencing AJs post

Idk of any instructor that would allow a cave student to bring a camera. If they do, they are suspect as an instructor.

Might wanna read my post again. I am recommending initially getting in the water and doing nothing until theyve accomplished hanging motionless. Most people going into cavern still can’t. Then once mastered, start doing stuff. We’re saying the same thing other than I’m, making the assumption...

Get in the water and do nothing. Literally. Master your buoyancy control. You should be able to pick a rock or other object and hover motionless over it for minutes on end. Video yourself to make sure you’re not finning to stay steady. Do that until it’s mastered then start doing it while...

I believe if you don’t dive two shearwaters you spontaneously combust
