    Must gear be purchased from the LDS you are getting Open Water certified at?

    Something certainly sounds wrong in the excuse for purchasing from the store. Did you try any of the other stores in the area when shopping for the class? I know with the store I dive through they go over the course and equipment needs before accepting payment for the course, at the same time...

    How should I prepare for the possibility of being left behind?

    Nah, this doesnt happen often, pretty much why its the number 1 thread around this week. Be assured it can happen on any boat regardless of how safety minded the boat is, mistakes can be made and often in our activity it becomes traumatic. As martinskarin posted prepare yourself to take care...

    Kinda wondered how long it would be before this was posted, it would be interesting to know more of the details behind this fatality. My thoughts go out to the family, boat staff, and instructor in sorting this out.

    Flipfins are proudly Made in the USA!

    Thats cool your fixing your fin, a little to late I guess. On the spring heels I'm abit perplexed when you say they are one of the same as the rest of the industry, while I'll agree the springs and the clip are one of the same, the crappy rubber pull tab you use is no where similiar to the ones...

    Flipfins are proudly Made in the USA!

    What was actually being said Dave was that if you used the fin and hit anything in the downward stroke or a forceful downward stroke it would fold up into the walking position, that may be clearer. You may have 75 plus dives on yours and thats great if yours dont function in that manner, mine...

    Curious on the manf threads

    Are you not allowed to post anything negative regarding a manufacturers products in those forums, it seems that several posts have been deleted from different users in the Omega Aquatics forum that were critical of their product and representation. Would one expect the same demise of posts in...

    Flipfins are proudly Made in the USA!

    It'll weaken out pretty severly over time. You mention using these in TEC diving, this clip holding them in place is where you will see the biggest pitfall, after awhile any type of downward against anything or string downward kick will cause the fin to fold up. The lifetime warranty doesnt...

    Flipfins are proudly Made in the USA!

    I hear ya on the finger loop. In as much as 8 months I went through 2 pairs of those straps. Since the fin is falling apart its not much sense dealing with them anymore. How old are your fins?

    So most of us would surmise you haven't used it yet then, :lotsalove:, all in good fun my man. The op asked had anyone used it, pretty much limited the requests for replies to folks who have used it, not folks who never had because they had better places to put their money.

    Absolutely great computer, been using one since November, have 81 dives on it no problems thus far. They have had 1 update to add the feature for Profile Dependent Intermidiate Stops that was a free download and about 7 minutes to install. For me, being able to monitor my heart rate increased...

    Provider types

    Well I'm working on a dive package targeted for the dive industry. There is some functionality in the package that will allow the user to customize the configuration based on their individual needs. With having (most of) the provider types already defined gives the user more options in...
