I was an instructor MSDT PADI 9158 at the BSA Sea Base for Capt. Steve Willis a few years back. While in classed & discussions with the Scouts on the responsibilities of controlling pollution of the North Atlantic & the North Western side of the European continent. More than a few times I was...

Hey Mike..... I do hope someone remembers that except for a few exceptions, Divemasters don't have the training or "ability" to train non-certified divers ton be certified divers. I don't see how even the Scouts can give merit badge for Scuba if the person is not an already certiified diver...

OK diver...... I don't know how many dives you have, what your level of training in diving or medicine is, or what gives you the intestional fortitude to basically tell anyone that has experienced pain in the ears on a dive to more or less forget about it or just sit it out for a day or two but...

Well now.... How about read ALL the words & sentences of my statement. My instructor in ENT told me after I saw 10,000 ear drums I would be pretty good at diagnosing problems. I have done that..... What's your count? Please note I said NORMAL ear anatomy. I did not address ears with existing...

Lesson for the day....... Unless there is some abnormal pathology in the outer ear canal, it is impossible for water to trap in the outer ear canal when you stand up. God is a great Engineer & designed them with the same idea as he did your nose. Have you noted that your nose points down so we...

Hi Mike.... As of right now Capt Steve has the number of Divemasters needed. Thats not to say he wouldn't entertain apps from those that are Divemasters. There may also be a slot for mates on the dive boats. Not sure of the number needed or whether those have been filled. Boat Mates must...

No - No - NO PADI & NAUI are not the only agencies. Pretty much ANY certifying agencey that is a member of the WRSTC is approved by BSA. All you have to do is contact BSA National to make sure. I haven't heard of any agency member of WRSTC not being able to dive with BSA. BUT I am not BSA...

As with other High Adventure camps those heading to these adventures always seek further info on where they are going. There is no difference here. We all seek to talk to others that have gone to these places seeking more info than that available on the official sites. We all like to get...

Now we're moving!!!! The preperation described by these diving folks is absolutely correct. Prep for Philmont icludes Philmont oriented activities, Northern Tier involves activities geared towards the adventure experienced there, Sea Base requires prep geared towards ocean - boat diving. Are...

Hey! The message lost the address somehow. Go to Boy Scouts of America - BSA - National Council . Then Scouting safely, then to the awards section, then to the BSA Scuba awards section. A pubication will come up. Sorry about that!!! Grady

Hi Divers........ I sure do appreciate this place!!!! I had a conversation with BSA National. A Scouter there, Richard (Sorry Richard I lost your last name), helped me find a source about Scuba & the Scout way. Ya'll keep in mind I do not have the years in Scouting a lot of you have. The...

Hey! I will attest to the preparedness of the crews that Mike brings down. They always seem to be ready in all ways for the trip to Scuba world! It makes it nice when prepared crews show up. As I have said SO many times before.... I am the world's laziest diver & subscribe diligently to the...

Hi! The publication I have has an orange cover, soft cover, with an ISBN number listed in an earlier responce. The date in this particular publication states the year 2004. What ya think? Grady

Hey Folks...... Yea I agree about the can of worms. That is why I put in the info on the BSA publication. I was advised that the orange book from BSA Corp is the bible. And about the internet stuff, I put the site where the orange book was copied faithfully as to text. I also have a little...
