    OK, who else enjoys motorcycling when not getting wet?

    I've owned several bikes since college days. Current stable includes Beemer R1200GS, F650GS Dakar, and an AJP PR5 Extreme, dual sported.

    Blackmail by 'professionals"?

    I'm not a SCUBA instructor, but I am/was a PSIA ski instructor and an NRA pistol instructor. Locally, I was comped for lift tickets if I showed my credentials and home area seasons pass. Out of the area, if I asked nicely at the instructors admin office, I was generally comped a lift ticket -...

    AOW before Tech?

    As a 65-year old newbie OW diver (certified in 2008, never dove, now starting up again) I have no advise regarding the technical path you might take. My question is your motive for your end goal - why do you want to be a certified kick-ass cave diver in 2-3 years? Your motivation for the goal is...

    Got a scooter for Xmas...

    If she's at all interested, returning the scooter would provide plenty of funds to kit her out and maybe even get her OW certified?

    DRIS e-Gift Card: How do I use it online? (anyone that's used one...feel free to chime in)

    I do see a couple of places to enter a coupon code at the pre-checkout and payment pages. Perhaps the code you have works there?

    Has anyone used these off brand housings?

    Buy it and dive it without the camera inside, but put a couple squares of that moisture sensing paper in to detect any leaks. If it works okay while empty it should work okay with the camera.

    PADI AOW->OWSI and beyond. Is this a bad idea?

    I've read advice before, and generally agree, that it's not necessarily a great idea to make your passion into your profession. Unless you're a born teacher, instruction can become boring and aggravating very quickly. For example, I love to downhill ski, and became a part time, PSIA certified...

    Drysuit certification really needed?

    I think a major deal is fit. My new dry suit needed some major stretching on the neoprene neck seal - when I tried it on for 15 minutes in my living room, with my instructor friend standing by, I nearly passed out from neck squeeze. Had I just jumped off a boat, I may very well have passed out...

    Cenote Xperience- Amazing Cenote Dives, Amazing Dive Op

    Sounds like a fun time! I do have a question - in theory, shouldn't you have at least a cavern diver cert to venture into an overhead environment? Did you get any instruction before the dive, or is this a total 'trust me" situation? Not knocking the experience at all, but as a very new diver...

    Illegal dumping of lead/arsenic into waterways by SeaSoft

    Ecology - although some of the folks I've dealt with there are quite professional - in the water division, the ones I've known in the waste division often have delusions of grandeur. One former colleague of mine at an environmental consulting firm went to work for Ecology. He flat out told me...
