Just finished up my Asst. Instructor course and my Instr. is sending off my packet to HQ. My plan is to continue onto ERDI Instructor. I'm currently a PADI DM and SSI Dive Con Spec. but since SSI was bought out by Mares and they closed out most LDS I'm not currently active teaching status. I'm...

Hey all my fellow Conchers..... All you old timers should recognize my SB name, no excuse for being away so long, and no I wasn't serving time in prison. LOL I have just been busy with work and such and it got in the way of my dive time. :depressed: Anyway. I'm glad to be back and I'll try...

It could just be me but on your website you offer a PSD Team discount and DR has you contact local rep but is unclear as to who we contact (Location wise). Anyway, I have been to one of your DR demo days last year at 40 Fathom Grotto and it was a grat experience. I'm interested in purchasing...

Hey there all, With all these Friggin' Hurricanes coming every weekend I can't get my life straightened out. I have pretty much thrown in the white towel. If IVAN hits charlotte harbor I'm pretty certain my house will be finished off because of the 50/50 ruling with insurance. that is if it's...

Hey there fellow SBer's. This is the 1st. time I've been on the internet since good ole CHARLEY. Wife, Son and I are OK. My house is wet and messy. I have worked since Fri the 13th for ten straight days before I had any time off and have logged 63 hours of overtime since then as well. I have to...

I got a package envelope in the mail today from Ocean Watch Foundation. Enclosed was a few trinkets of appreciation to include a colapsable six pack cooler, certificate of appreciation and a thank-you letter. All these were nice but the best part was the final tallys of all the debris that was...

I've lurked here from time to time but I guess I can now "Officially" post here. Today was tryouts for our dive team (Charlotte County, FL Sheriff's Office) and I'm gloating here a little, but I passed. :D According to the Lt. in charge of the Unit we already have a Check for about $9,000.00...

When I do a post and click on the more smiles hyperlink it only comes up with and 8-10 additional ones, not like it used to be. Is there some thing wrong with my conmputer or is the link broke. I've posted from two different computers to test it and I get the same problem on both. Just...

:birthday: 8buck, Hey buddy this is later than I expected to post but had to wait until I got to work, home DSL crashed. Hope you have a good day!!! Diving this weekend is a possibility for Sunday, let me know. Don't have to much fun celebrating :beerchug: Wildbill:cop_2:

I dove last Sunday at Venice and had a great time even met new divers. I had to leave early 'cause I had to be at work at 6PM. I got home after noon and was in a hurry because I wanted to catch a nap. I took all my gear and put in a big tub of freshwater to soak until I could rinse them properly...

The cop car Icon that I have saved in my signature is not showing up....How come? Do I have to change it? Thanks in advance for your assistance, Yale H. Wildbill:cop_2:

What are you 25 now? I can not remember what it's like to be a mere 1/4 of a century old. Don't let anyone give you one gift for both B-Day and Christmas :santasmil Come down where it's warm and do some more diving with us. Tell SeaJay hi for me so he don't get mad, Wildbill:cop_2:

What happened to all the avatars? I tried going into my user CP and check on it and it dosen't show there either. I was going to just redo it but there is no list to choose from anymore. Wildbill:cop:

I work for a County Sheriff's Office and I did Dive Team tryouts. It was a lot more physical than I had antisipated. I started with a 400 yard swim non stop with no aids (no fins, mask, snorkel) in under 13 mins. then had to float with face out of water for 15 mins. Next came an 800 yard with...

Can anyone tell me about this line of the DACOR products? I can buy both the reg. and Octo for a good price (I think) but can not find anything about them. I am fairly new to diving and these will be my first setup! Thanks, Wildbill HOW ABOUT THEM BUCS!!!!!!!!:D :D

Like most of you I got a LP Holiday Specials Catalog. Inside they advertise an MARES MR12 Axis Reg for $114.95 and a MARES MR12 Axis Octo for $59.95. So for about 175 bucks I can get both I know this is a deal but I want the bottomline on the no warranty issue. Is it really a pain to have my LDS...

YAHOO!!! I just got back from my OW Check Dives, What a great time it was. Myself and a guy from work took the course together and we both are done. Our Instructor took us on his boat to a man made reef comprised of cement pipes and culverts off the coast of Sanibel Island in SW FL. The marine...

Does anyone have any pros or cons on this type of BC? I found one at leisurepro for 199.99 and it looks like a nice set up. I like the removable vest, should come in handy here in SWFL where I would seldom need a suit. I found a LDS that carries the Dacor line and I'm going to attempt to rent...

Even Though That I have lived in Florida all my life I am just starting into diving. I will be taking my open water cert. dives this Saturday (07-27-02). Nothing fancy will go out by boat to about 45-50 feet of water probably check out some reefs.:sharky:
