    Key West Dive Shop Recommendations

    My usual shop in Key West has gone out of business and the one I tried a couple weeks ago enforces a rediculously short dive time on the Vandenberg. Any recommendations?

    Thoughts on Divers Paradise?

    This summer I'm doing a trip to Bonaire and am trying to keep the costs down. Has anyone stayed at Divers Paradise? Their rates are low enough that I am a little leery of booking. I don't ask for much out of accomodations. Clean, quiet, air-conditioned with a kitchen that includes both an...

    The coolest dive knife ever

    I just ran into the father of one of my students and he presented me with an amazing gift. When he was an instructor he taught the son of a U.S. Navy frogman to dive and in return was given this knife. Because I instructed his son, I have now been presented with the same knife. I hope to give it...

    Should I Issue the Card?

    This should probably be in another forum, but I am a new instructor and not yet int he instructors forum. Besides, I like to get a good range of opinions. Regardless, last year an instructor no longer affiliated with my LDS taught an open water class for a particular customer. She just...

    Who was your best insta-buddy?

    I've seen plenty of posts on bad insta-buddies - and have had my share. What were some good experience? My best was a young woman who told me she had never dove with someone wearing a drysuit and asked about potential problems and how she as a buddy should assist. I've been on enough "solo...

    Sponge Dye??

    A frind of mine returned from Cayman Brac recently with a video showing, among other things, a dive master squirting some sort of yellow dye on the outside of a sponge. A moment later the dye emerged like a column of smoke out the center of the sponge. Pretty neat trick, but what kind of dye...

I've discussed with him how much weight he's using and how his BC is trimmed and I don't see any issues there. I'm skeptical, but he wants to...

    In Search of a Support Group

    Hi, my name's Tim and I'm a gear-a-holic. It has been eleven days since my last scuba purchase. Do you find solace in the bottom of an air bottle? Said again and again "honey, I'll stop, I swear. I just need one more exposure suit to cover 72 - 75 degree water temps on partly cloudy days."...
