Maybe they don't forget, but panic due to lack of practice. As instructors we practice all the time, but if a diver gets certified and let's say that they are drilled and taught every skill you want to teach and they now go diving and never take another class or even practice these skills but...

Ever have an Insta Dive Buddy? - Joe's Scuba Shack as I have gone thru this somewhat interesting and to be honest hateful post, I never saw any one mention no matter how well trained and what rescue skills it still comes down to what the person actually does in a rescue situation the link to...

Me thinks I wouldn't want to work for them if they can't even communicate

Just wondering? What benefits do you actually use and is it worth it? By being a member we get lower rates to attend the show, but we only attend in Vegas as Orlando is smaller and way more cost for us from Western Colorado. I can spend the same amount every 2 years if I am a member or not...

Customer Service and More of it. Adapt to the changing schedules of our clients and offer them more of what they want.... Classes, gear local diving ( in Colorado). Activities in the shop such as social nights, no sales pressure, just a dive movie and divers and pizza. Diving is SOCIAL, how...

other than the quality of air, no worries. Just hope nothing ever goes wrong and you get a bad fill and bad air. If that happens there is no insurance that will ever cover you if it is one of your "friends" that got bad air

Thanks to you all. We have decided to stay the way we are because we are trying to buy a building and build a pool and just do not have the time to devote to cross over training. BUT, I was just talking to one of our future dive con candiates about wet suits. She went to the Denver Show and...

I am awaiting some reviews,but from what i hear it was mostly a travel show. I would have love to see more manufactures and even maybe say SSI and PADI there. I know A1 and Weaver have their big shows as well as some others, BUT where where the manufactures? Denver is a big regional hub for...

Well Done! When someone signs up for Rescue in our shop all I tell them is to be ready. The stories I can tell just from the pool class and then when you think you have me figured out, well there is open water

The Apple/MAC is a one or the other agruement. But if you mean quality and value and less headaches and always needing to upgrade. I am an Apple and Aqualung. WHY? Quality and Value. Examples. The ACD device in the first stage ( Aqualung Titan LX and higher) actually works (according to...

You can't go wrong with either

We will be attending as it is just an 8 hour drive for us and since we have friends there we can stay with that saves, BUT it wouldnt matter as we would attend( we dont go when it is in Florida as the cost is to much) as it is the only place for us to see what is new in the product. Yes, the...

Our SSI AOW has a "core" group of classes Nitrox, Nav, Deep and Night/Lim Vis. When divers ask what they should take, I point them in that direction it is also the class that we present to the local colleges for their Scuba 201 course (AOW). I also like to ask about what their future plans are...

I will let you know in 4 weeks as I have a group of 9 that will be on the boat starting Oct 9. This will be our second with Explorer and we enjoyed the Turks with them.

I understand the boatload of eels or worms, and I know that no dive shop willbe perfect, but in order to grow and prosper I ask. Being in Western Colorado in the middle of no where I do wonder about the tec gear and if maybe having some of the smaller items might not be a good thing and what...

the yard sale idea is intriquing I have found this a wonderful post. As experienced divers what items are you looking for to be instock at yoru shop? As a new diver what ware you looking for?

Love all the post, and yes live feeds and all that, BUT the screaming thought is DO NOT FORGET US THE EXPERIENCED DIVER

My thoughts and plans are to present all the info to all of our reps.

Alll I can add is that intelligence is water soluable. You my OP have DM qualities as you actually watch your instabuddy, and that is really the biggest part of what we do. I have seen people with (insert huge amout of dives here) do the most stupid things. How about hangina camera on a...

The big DEMA Show is in November. I posted earlier about what your LDS can do to earn your business. And the response is amazing! But I want to have this post for what do you want or need to see from the companies that make our gear? How about from the certifing agencies? What are you...
