140ft for 20 min then slow deco ascent on the USS emmons okinawa japan.

If the lds is a dealer than they have the oceanic cert to maintain your gear. There isnt much to an over haul, cleaning replacing o rings and a few misc small parts. if you don't trust them to do this basic maintanence than they shouldnt be YOUR lds. the other thing to consider would be cost...

the atmos looks like a dolid computer, this to consider are recreatianal vs tecnical diving air vs nitrox (or both) wrist vs console air integrated vs seperate pressure gauge Available funds? I dive the Scubapro extender, its a watch style computer nitrox capable. I dive with a single...

know your mod and use your slates to plan and calculate the dive. Use the computer as gauges only. If it has a gauge mode turn it on so it doesnt give you false remaining bottom times and nitrogen loads. did i mention know your mods. Plan he dive and DIVE YOUR PLAN. be safe.

the Padi website lists the video/dvd as recommended. the shop has a choice when they order the crew pack, they can be ordered with or with out the video included. I personally lend the video to my students so they dont have to by it.

well, deaths do affect the industry. the government doesnt regulate scuba because it is considered a self regulated "safe" sport. if large numbers of deaths or injuries begin to happen then the government would start to regulate meaning also tax. that would mean the costs to get certified and to...

how do they equalize??????

@ my shop, nitrox and deep (130ft) are the most popular.

wow! I know, believe, and understand your passion and care for diving and other divers. never said otherwise, never tried to imply other wise, however the tone in your post is an example of my hardship with that site. i appreciate the good luck sentiment although its not my site, i am simply a...

i work for the marina and can tell you there are always 2-3 boats in limbo, are you looking for a specific type, size, brand? there won't be any sites in english but if you check with the harbor masters office the should have some info.

yea its a great site and i know alot people on it but over the last year it has taken a much more tek aproach to diving and at times the moderators and user can be pretty aggressive if you dont hold the same opinions as them.

hey all, check out www.okidiver.com its a brand new site with all kinds of info and an oki based messageboard

diving is definetly worth getting into however, a course that takes you from nothing to instructor is a little scarry, it would take 9 months to a year part time tocomplete that but that would include alot of diving in pools and "actual diving" i cant see the average person being able to pull...

welcome to the world of diving, glad to hear its going well, just remember the same site is a differnt dive everyday. go slow and you will see neverending amounts of new life

i found using a salene nose spray about an hour before dive helps clear the sinus and conjestion this inturn helps equalization. since its just salt water there is no problem with using it while diving but do follow the man. recommendations on frequency too often is a bad thing.

i would recomend din, with a yoke adapter, this way you can use your reg any where in the world with any type of tank steel or aluminum, yoke or din. most yoke regs CAN be converted to din but it depends on brand, scuba pro, tusa, oceanic etc. can all be adapted. hope this helps

keep in mind you will only need to do this for class, in real world situations a buddy would help not to mention you would usually not remove weights from bcd inwater.

fin pivot is taught as a beggining to bouoncy control it is continued with a hovering skill. but you got the point slow and deep breaths make the difference but take a min to respond.

it may work but keep in mind, most agencys teach to not "skip breath" remember the #1 rule in scuba " never hold your breath" using this method on ascent could lead to lung rupture. with an ascent of only a few feet the lung expansion could be large also unless your bouyoncy is good you may not...
