In my experience from going to a DM and IDC course with various age groups and watching the after effects there is no shortage of people becoming instructors. I saw 14 people become DM's and Instructors with me. After graduation, half never worked in the industry, it was like going to diving...

a ride across the island, a ride in the chamber, no water for a week and a follow up eval. i am still physically exhausted and sore from all of this. I will have to get a new BCD. Not using that thing again.

I almost did not make it back from a dive on Saturday because of the i3 side lever. I bought this BCD and enjoyed using the side lever and even replaced the oral inflation tube to a standard LPI set up when i began teaching. Never messed with it since. I always kept the cap on it and kept my...

I Hate to resurface an old thread but this BCD almost cost me my life. Since i have been teaching I have not used the side inflate/deflate lever, leave the cap on it and have installed a regular LPI hose. I took an open water diver to work on his advanced and went for the deep dive portion. We...

No impact from the hurricanes and am staying at turquoise bay resort, subway watersports.

I am currently in Roatan. I have been here a month and just finished my DM, IDC and IE. It took about 3 solid months to get the pass port situation taken care of before hand. I may end up staying until mid Jan.

Nevermind because it can never be a simple question and answer. What school would you recommend, based on your experience, where I could do the following at: One person got it made a recommendation. Why is that hard to do? I just dont get it. If you dont have one then fine say so but shesh...

Thanks for the information. I will look into it.

i have noticed that 99% of all Master Scuba Divers have the same 5 specialties for the rating. Are those 5 specialties the only ones being offered, do you have to take those or do people not know that they can use other specialties or is it the advice given that you dont need to learn to teach...

I just have no experience in the tech area. Not going to write it off just completely alien to me. Agree on the all of the project aware thing. They should make a project aware master rating lol. Wouldnt it be better for personal marketability not to limit your specialties so i could go any...

LOL. I wont be picking up dry suit or ice diving an time soon, was thinking about self reliant, full face mask, deep, wreck, navigation, propulsion vehicle, night, and one more. The project aware stuff I would self cert. Yeah I am not a big tech diving person, wouldnt mind knowing what its all...

Thanks for being a reasonable person. Sorry things are all spread out. Some information came in after the fact. If I may change the subject back to the original topic. MSDT. What I am planning on doing when I go back to school is picking up like 10 or 15 specialties during the MSDT part...

For the last time; I know that the tables and the computers produce different dive profiles because of how the computers work. I know dives are not square. I know how DCS works and there are other out side factors that contribute to it. A dive computer doesnt get DCS. Whats confusing about...

Yeah i get that and I am not in the mindset that once i complete IDC that I will know everything. thats why I ended up selecting a school where as I am taking the IDC and MSDT, I will be assisting in teaching and helping the instructors. I dont think I will ever not be nervous teaching. :)

Yeah I am going for a complete career change. I am thinking about going some place for a few months to get the teaching experience before being shoved out the door and expecting to know it all.

This is what happened. I was diving nitrox on a guided dive, descended the line to about 80 feet, swam around for a bit hitting 102 feet for about 3 minutes then came up in our depth for a few more minutes then ascended. Total dive time 30 minutes. that includes the descent time, ascent time...

Ok then I want you to tell me how my computer did not lock me out and how it allowed me to continue diving, only flagged me to do 3 minute safety stops for all 4 dives on one day and only 2 safety stops on the morning dives the next day but not the afternoon dives. The computer did not lock me...
