Wateree Dive Center is there. I believe there are 1 or 2 more but can't call them by name off the top of my head. Myrtle is only 2.5-3 hrs away, depending on where in Columbia you are.

I checked a couple of recent certs and the number is on there. Maybe that's a US only thing.

Going on a trip tomorrow and went to test the HID and put in new batteries. It won't start. So I buy new Duracells thinking cheap batteries were to blame. Still won't start. I can see a spark in the bulb when I turn it on but it only lasts a second then it goes out. Is this a sign the bulb...

Just received a pair of Seasoft Sunray 3mm boots. Looks like a solid boot. The problem I'm discovering is that now my fin pocket isn't big enough. I'm a size 14 and already have XL fins, so going up a fin size isn't an option. I was using the Henderson Gold Core hard soled 3mm boot which...

Maybe it's just my luck, but I've been thru 2 Cobra II's. They get used alot in the pool doing DSDs. I believe their demise had something to do with the AI trying to constantly do the calculations when depending on how many DSD are in the session, could be alot of bouncing up and down...

I keep getting multiple message alerts to the same message. Would this have anything to do with another post about the servers being synced?

No, the shop doesn't own a boat. It uses a friend's boat on a as needed basis. It's a 6 pack that runs out of Murrells Inlet. I'm not sure about pricing this year. I think you need at least 4 to run it.

Not a problem.

Anyone familiar with a live aboard called Easy Goin' out of Lauderdale? I believe the company name is Paradise Charters.

I like the idea of saying that too bad you missed his training opportunity for OW, but once you're finished you'd like to do AOW. How much are classes and books? How soon can you get the books to start reviewing them? Which pool will you be training in? Those ought to sufficiently set the...

I've had the Atomic splits for several years now and love them. They may be a bit long but nothing using them a few times won't overcome. The foot pocket is very comfortable (to me). The springs are nice and come standard on the smokes. They make an accessory pack of springs that you can get...

I've got one and like it overall. The workload feature was annoying so I disabled that, but that's about all. One thing that I'd change if I could is that you have to have it connected to your computer to change most of the settings. I'd suggest getting the quick disconnect to make it a...

Last week the reports were that the Sherman was about 78F at the bottom with about +/- 20' viz. Also heard that the inshore stuff like the Sherman had better viz so far than offshore sites. The viz may be a crap shoot, but unless you're really cold natured, I would think a 3mil full suit would...

Ok. So if we're doing a partial pressure fill, I get that the line, connectors etc must be clean, but are you saying that the top off gas must come from a clean source also?

On another thread someone was asking if the LDS I'm tied to has an O2 clean system for nitrox fills. Normally we use a blender box (at least that's what I call it) for normal mixes or we can partial pressure blend. I've heard about O2 clean tanks and compatible regs, etc, but never an O2 clean...

As luck would have it you've called when the shop is on a skeletal staff for a week long dive trip, so sorry about that. The six pack is (probably) available but requires at least 4 to make the trip go. It's more of a group of friends get together private charter type reservation. As far as...

I'm tied in with NuHorizons. Nitrox is available on site. Are you looking for partial pressure fills? I'll check to see if the NAUI instructor is still active. If not, I have a simple, inexpensive solution of you're interested. PM me if so. Coastal Scuba Express Water Sports Nu...

Congrats. Seeing someone float back to the surface after their first giant stride into the pool, grinning ear to ear, is why I enjoy classes. They get that "hey, it worked just like he told me it would" look. From there it just gets better. Seeing it for the first time all over again is the...

You don't have to get all of the prereq stuff done with PADI before you start switching over to SSI. Any void in the prereqs could be fulfilled while doing them with your SSI shop. Straight from the standards: Prerequisites for the Dive Control Specialist course are: • Be at least 18...

A friend of mine has his emergency generator enclosed and he used plain pipe screwed in where the muffler would go and vented it outside the enclosure. It works fine and I imagine the concept would work on a compressor as well.
