    Well Wishes for Kimber (TekDiveGirl)

    Wow, great news, I'm glad she's been through PT before, that can be a very frustrating and emotionally draining experience!

    How is Costa Rica different than Belize or other Caribbean dives?

    First of all, I have not dove the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, and I hear it isn't worth it, so I can only comment on the Pacific side. We dove for a week out of Playa Del Coco, and we had a blast. I'd tell you to look at my gallery, but I don't know if it is up and working again yet. If it...

    Rescue diver class questions

    Depends on your LDS, mine requried us to get CPR, First Aid, O2 administration & AED on our own before starting the class. That was all stuff that would have had to happen in the classroom, but I don't think my LDS was licensed to teach those when I went through. Dropping your gear in a pool...

    SEASOFT fully adjustable BC

    Anyone used the adjustable BC that is supposed to fit anyone from ~50lbs up to ~400lbs.? I'm thinking this would be a good purchase for my 11 y.o. so that he doesn't outgrow his equipment so soon...or ever in this case! I love this idea. He is already on his 3rd wetsuit!

    Should I buy a dive computer?

    You can dive without a computer, you can't dive without a regulator, or a BC or BP/W. I'm assuming you have the mask and fins. Wetsuits are nice to have also. Computers are nice, just make sure you aren't using it as a crutch. Might be nice to have some sort of back-up plan incase your...

    BELIZE is incredible and I am dying to go back........

    I love San Pedro, I just don't have enough vacation time to get to everywhere I want to go. We probably won't get back to San Pedro until at least 2008 :(

    When have you called a dive and why?

    I called a dive in Coz this February, after a swim through, my buddy looked very panicked, was breathing very fast, and couldn't answer me when I asked if she was OK. I took her by the BC and we started a slow swim to the surface. About 20' from the surface, she was fine, but we surfaced...

    Anyone ever use rocks to weight themselves?

    If you can find a sporting goods store, they probably have lead shot for reloading shotshells. It's possible Wal-Mart could have these as well. You could put those into ziplocks. There is also the possibility of lead bullets for muzzleloaders, but those are usually harder to come by than just...

    After a rescue diving course, what are the job opportunities?

    About the same job oportunities that are offered after taking a drivers education class.

    Anyone ever use rocks to weight themselves?

    I have used rocks to weigh down students who needed just a little extra weight, never just for the weight alone.

    OK, I'm watching this now and couldn't resist... "OK, that's one pecan pie and two coffees and don't worry for the Godfather it's always on the house"

    Should I become a DM

    I would just worry about the 2 year commitment. If you really weren't thinking of taking this path, then why do it? Yeah, you will get some extra training, but is it worth the amount of hours you will have to put in? If they say they are going to wave your fees, but then decide that you will...

    Name That Movie

    Kill Bill vol. 2 ... I laughed my butt off on that one... my wife didn't seem to find the same humor in it that I did :) I've always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds.
