I haven't posted in so long, I didn't remembe what Av I had!! Number 709? I didn't realize I was that close to conception.... Edit: In honor of Mot2vation, I have changed my avatar back to Groucho. Not the same one as before (because I don't think it exists anymore), but Groucho nevertheless.

If you bought a scooter, it would solve 2 of your problems. 1. You woudln't need to tow anyone, and 2. You could just scooter to the surface... <G>

To all of our supporters: It is with extreme difficulty that we are forced to announce the cancellation of the North American Shipwreck and Dive Show slated for March 18th in West Bloomfield, Michigan. We were forced to stop the show due to a last minute change in key issues that were agreed...

Not only did I see it, but I read it. You should too. Their assurances are only for 3 mentioned chambers, not the current batch that won't take DAN.

If you've paid for your insurance and they no longer cover you, what have you paid for?

see above, and There aren't enough people that read these boards that know that this situation is taking place to make a difference. We tend to be a very informed crowd, but I would contend that we are not a very large part of the diving scene as a whole.

Think about what you just wrote. The local dive industry will suffer because a chamber op has a disagreement with an insurer. More than that, the diver will avoid some spectacular diving because his/her insurance company won't cover him/her. I think there are some priorities mixed up here. You...

That's great when you're awake and coherent. Now what happens if the rescuer takes your unconscious body to a non-covered chamber?

No. The old information is on their website. It does not address the new chambers that don't take their insurance. As to your question: I was going to the Bahamas in 2 weeks when this originally came to light. I bought additional insurance from DiveAssure that covers me anywhere. I won't be...

I wonder if DAN is going to update their website to include 1. The additional non-covered sites. 2. Their offer to pay in full the non-covered sites.

Doesn't this seem kind of backward? You're letting your dive insurer determine where you're going to dive? Huh? It's got nothing to do with the government (and I'm really not sure that you want the gov't involved too deeply with diving anyway). Maybe it's me, but I'd find a carrier that...

I received the email directly from SSS. It's not a rumor.

Well, the plot thickens. I wonder if DAN will add the additional clinics to their guarantee statement on their website.

I've been using a waterski 3 mil shorty for around 5 years to dive with. Water temps as low as 73 (I'll admit, that temp is a bit chilly). Works great. Showing a bit of wear now, so I'll have to replace it. I woudln't hesitate going the same route over again.

Try this spelling: Obrien

Sea the World will do O2, Helium, and Argon.

Before you take up Jeff on his offer, consider this: Besides the various critters you might encounter, that water can be some of the most hazerdous you'll ever encounter. Years of fertilization, weed killer, and runoff are sitting in that pond. This is truly a job for those that have the right...

No. That's an over-generalization.
