    Mike Brady AKA MB

    On Thanksgiving day, November 26, 1998 I arrived early in the morning at Amoray Divers in Key Largo to dive with five other people, four of whom I’d never before met in person. I knew them from an online dive forum called Rodale’s SCUBA Diving, a message board sponsored by a print magazine about...

    New posts

    I first saw this when I logged on this morning and it's still here this afternoon. When I click on new posts, the list of threads on the resulting screen are in rows so wide there's only two (2) threads on my screen. Replies and views run vertically on the screen. It's very strange.

    Posting thumbnails

    In the past I've posted thumbnails using the attachments button. It worked well. Now, I can't find the attachments button when replying to a thread. I see it here when I'm starting a new thread, but not when I use quick reply. When I try to go advanced with my reply, all the buttons...

    How to find an excellent SCUBA class

    To find a good class, you'll need to interview instructors you are considering hiring to teach you to dive. Since you don't know much about diving, you'll probably need a little guidance with the interview. Here's my guide to finding an excellent class: How do I find an above average course...

    My transition from being afraid of the water to SEI Instructor

    Education is something I've always felt is important. Barely getting by is not something I've ever strived for in any of my undertakings, academic or otherwise. When I learned to dive, I was like many, I wasn't aware there were differences in various classes. I never really gave it any...

    Continuing discussion on agency standards

    It's not what I consider vague. It is vague. From your original post on 10/16: That was your question. How do we solve the problem, without defining what problem you want to solve. You talked PADI's standards being lowered. You talked about some instructors exceeding standards. You...

    Suggestion Styles

    I've noticed that depending on which style I choose, I can either see how many logged dives a poster has (Default, Blue or Go Gators) or I can see how many times they've been thanked (Classic Style). It would be nice to be able to see both in any style.

    Two spots open on June 08 trip to Saba.

    A group of us are diving Saba June 7 - 14. The trip was full, but one person was injured in an accident at home and now can't get a doctor's OK to travel, so one spot opened up. Another diver had some unexpected surgery and is going on the trip, but won't be able to dive. As a result, we have...

    Problem replying in thread

    I was posting a reply in a thread, but I received a don't have permission response. What's up? I agree, there are bad answers in with the good, but having read your answers, I would have to say the same applies to yours. At least here, there's someone to point out bad answers.

    Sinko de Mayo with Cristal Clear

    I arrived at the shop and the ladies were wonderful! They are very friendly, very helpful and made me feel right at home. The DM Matt was as helpful as he could be in getting nitrox rentals. He was, however, unable to get the exact mix I requested because they do not blend on demand, but bank...

    Politics on ScubaBoard

    Pete, that's a noble, but unworkable goal. Once politics are discussed, the genie is out of the bottle. Environmental politics, especially when it involves funding, is partisan politics. There is no way to separate them. I hope it works this time, but I don't have high hopes.

    Venice Beach - found fin

    I was diving off Alhambra this past Sunday. In about 15 feet of water, I found a single fin that appears to have been there for a month or two. If you lost a fin there in the not too distant past, tell me what you lost. I'll gladly return it to the owner.
