Welcome to the board. There is a wealth of information around here.

I'd say that your best chances for success will come with option 1. It offers you a chance for financial stability, a chance to raise a family if you choose to, and the potential income needed to actually afford a boat and the required upkeep on it. Not to mention that's not a bad way to spend...

I've had a few jobs. Went from musician to diesel mechaninc. Now I'm an IT guy.

I saw it and really enjoyed it. It was interesting to see cave divers in action. It's easy to see how you could get lost or stuck.

Hopefully I can provide a different perspective as someone that has been certified fairly recently and is still inexperienced. It seems most everyone on this thread has been around for awhile. If not then just ignore me that's what my wife does.:D I think that PADI's OW material is...

My thoughts exactly. :popcorn:

I understand what you are going through. I had the same experience due to a hurricane just over a year ago. At of all the things I lost the pictures were the hardest things to lose but, my family was able to help with extra photos. Thanks to them we were able to get a lot of the back. Now I...

I didn't have that experience in my class. My instructor clarified and answered questions that the book didn't explain to well. I would expect a business owner to push his gear and his shop a little. Especially with online competition. If it was extreme as you suggest, it sounds to me...

Just in case Dan is still following this thread...I'm one of the guys that backed out. I won't go into any details as to how I did it but I was in the DEP program. I decided I would rather go to school. It was the right decision for me. I was pressured by a family with an extensive military...

Alright WesTexDiver, I had my last pool session last night. I was entirely relaxed and confident from the beginning. I had a great time, a lot of fun, and I used about half as much air as I did last week. I have to admit that your shower trick helped. I get to do my OW dives this weekend...

It's not showing your because you know the original. It's showing your age if you remember when the original was released.:D

:rofl3: Thanks for the tip. I'm wondering what it'll take to get you to eat your card on video and post it anyway. I'll give it a try. I'll try anything once sometimes twice just to be sure. The problem is I'm the kind of guy that would say it didn't work just to see you eat your card.:eyebrow:

Thanks for the encouragement and advice. As I was reading through it was interesting that everyone tended to hit a point of the overall picture. Initially, I was uncomfortable even in the shallow end but, by the end of the night I was having a good time. In fact, I was disappointed when it...

I concur, the Skywalker would be the ultimate anything vehicle. Although it's a little pricey.

I recently started OW training. I really enjoy it. It is a lot more fun than I expected it to be. The problem I have is, we just started the deep end stuff last night. I had a really hard time descending at first. We started at about 8 feet but every time I tried to descend I started...

Are you referring to the Skywalker perhaps? That is a very interesting looking machine. Kind of futuristic. I'm curious to see if it ever gets developed beyond a prototype.

It's probably not a reference to the detergent as I have never heard of it. Didn't even know it existed. Maybe it just came out and they are making a reference to me. I am a pretty clean individual. I hope I wasn't overly critical of the guy. I mean I do think he has a place in this world but...

I find irony that an agency that employs Geraldo Rivera would be regarded as being a great or, even good for that matter, news source. Entertaining would be a better description. If they could get him to be a correspondent for The Daily Show or something on Comedy Central. I think that might...

CHEVROLET- Cheap Heap Every Valve Rattles Oil Leaks Every Time GMC- Great Mechanics Career On topic...Put a lawnmower in the boy's hands...Tell him to go mow a few lawns and get his own card upgraded.

I like to fish but if I have to lumped in with a group I would rather be a conservationist. I take what I need from the environment no more and often times less. There is a difference between the two. As far as fitting two or three babies in a five gallon bucket. Are you sure? 'Cause I...
