    Deleting my post?????

    So then what you are saying is, If it is a good comment it stays, and if it against the manufacturer, it goes? What about freedom of speech. That is an AMERICAN right!!!! It should also be known when someone is not treated justly! You can delete me from SB then!!!! If you stand behind...

    Getting wet down the front...

    They didn't seem too have a problem responding/deleting my post in less than an hour when it was against them. Seems if it is good for them, they respond. If not, OH WELL! Glad too know they treat someone with acceptable service. Your comment about a call to Whites produces excellent results, I...

    Deleting my post?????

    Seems as though someone deleted my post. THAT'S BS!!!!!!!! I was merely posting that I would not be selling Whites anymore. I did not post a price or anything of the sort. So I get my post deleted. I didn't say anything about getting a Medium undergarment with a L/XL suit. Great way too make a...

    Which certification should I go with?

    OMG OMG OMG. Although he did say "more" complete list. Walter's List was missing one more that I've seen and researched. (someone flashed a somewhat shady card at the shop). They were/are based on Hawaii. The agency in question????? STI. Scuba Training International. Seemed like some Brudda...

    Which certification should I go with?

    I'm partial to TDI/SDI/ERDI. Depending your path, somewhere in these agencies you will find what you are looking for. SDI for your basic recreational diving, TDI for technical training, and ERDI for emergency response diving. Like other's have said, It's not the agency. It's the instructor, or...

    Drinking coffee or Red Bull before a dive?

    Myself, I have to have a cup or two or I'm a real bear! Also, if I don't have a cup or a rock star I end up with a headache (a product of the caffine addiction I'm sure) I would rather pee than have a massive headache.IMO. My student's usually prefer me after a dose of my morning pick me up. I...

    Blending stick???

    I've heard of the wiffle golf balls that got to thinking of these bio balls. I think they would have a better effect mixing the O2 into the blend without causing restriction. My concern is that if the tube is too large it would take such a quick flow to get the adequate mix%. DP

    Best drysuits

    I will have to say clx450 with the neo bottoms has been an awsome suit, but had I not such a great deal on it, I would not have had the cash to afford it. Had a DC, wasn't impressed at all with the suit or customer service. But after wearing a Fusion and a 360 at a Whites days weekend in Hoods...

    Breathing in through nose

    When I have student's like this, I have them in the safety of their own couch. During a night of watching tv, during the first show they should breathe in their mouth and out their nose. During the second show, they should breathe in their nose and out their mouth. This just helps get the mind...

    Blending stick???

    To start off, I have the Oxy hacker handbook, but was wondering if anyone may have first hand experience with such a large compressor. I have a 17cfm Ingresol Rand compressor and want to build a blending stick for it. Its intake is 1" in its original state. I was thinking either a 24"x3" pipe...
