Anything can happen, but we're not talking about the what ifs, talking about what did happen :-D

Opelika firefighters rescued after Pensacola scuba trip goes hor - WTVM.com-Columbus, GA News Weather & Sports Wasn't one of the things we learned in OW, was that you always leave someone on the boat in case something goes wrong.But this happens all the time.

I did the Saba day trip by ferry, it wasn't that bad, did 2 dives. there's also hiking and maybe a few restaurants. there are no beach's on Saba. Nothing really at the docks to do. For me it wasn't really worth it, the diving was much better in St. Marteen ---------- Post added May 23rd, 2015...

I stayed at Divi Resorts, they have a dive shop on site to store your gear, and a boat from Aqua Mania comes by to pick you up ever morning. If you stay at Simpson Bay marina and Resort that's where the boat leaves from. I did the day trip to Saba after reading all the negative comments about...

umm I learned neutral buoyancy by myself, just purchased the manual, and went to a pool and practiced. Now to the ops question, if I had to take classes 6 to 8 weeks, I would look and the instructor and say I've got a life, this a hobby, not going to be my job. My classes were free, but that...

They are guides, there to point out some things you may not see, they should know the area very well, but they are not there to insure everyone's safety, or that everyone is following the dive plan. that's where individual responsibility comes in.

Or you could do padi's deep diver Your training starts by reviewing reasons for deep diving and how important it is to know your personal limits. During four deep dives with your instructor, you’ll go over: Specialized deep diving equipment. Deep dive planning, buddy contact procedures...

I went and looked at your original post, I miss understood the part about him having possibly 2 AOW students.

Your question is a little ambiguous. If this was an OW class then no, any other class, it probably would be okay. In your scenario, doesn't sound like he was teaching a class, but decided to help the 2 unskilled divers out. Now I as far as the dive guide portion of your question, I wouldn't...

It's just like everybody else trying to make a sale, it's called puffing. as for me I'm glad I had a full set of gear from the start. I have changed mask (had a hard time finding one that didn't leak) and fins (split fins aren't that well in current). Sometimes we seem to forget that the final...

Where is the deception?

Dive shop where I did my lessons gives free lessons and pool time as long as you own your gear if you buy a complete set excluding wetsuit from them. Is this pushing the gear?

I did Saba on a day trip and did 8 dives off St Marteen, I felt like I wasted my time and money doing the Saba trip. there was much more sea life on the St. Marteen dives I went out with Aqua Mania Adventures. I learned very early not to ask opinions about vacations, it's so hard to gauge until...

I understand your point. but question for you, if you and your family had a vacation that you wanted to take for years, you finally were able to make all the cogs fit together so you could plan it. 6 months out you found out you were terminally ill with 6 to 7 months to live. The doctor said it...

Sounds like that's what he was doing, enjoying time with his family

it's an all day trip, most of the dive shops do a trip over. for a reasonable price.

I have a friend who's certified, and she suffers from seizures also. So far she hasn't had any problem while diving. The doctor that okay'd her to dive was also a diver.

I would love to go before the invasion of vacation/cruise ship divers get there and damage all the reefs!

Is the problem really with the amount of time spent in training, or the fact that there are people who will only dive once a year. I just returned from a trip with a group of around 60 divers, some of these people have been diving for years, have all sorts of certs. But you couldn't tell it by...

I went out with them In Ochos Rios. They were a great operation, on par with other ops I've been out with.
