The reference is to a movie scene in which a girl, appears to float in air. She looks almost as if she is under water the way her clothes and hair flow.
If you google "Oracle scene from 300" you can find it. Before viewing please note the scene contains nudity.
Well, thought I'd post back and let folks know how it went. This was my daughters first time in the ocean.
We went over on Tuesday morning. Got there around 0930 (High Tide was 1051). Got a Parking spot right by the pavillions and set up the gear. Crossed the boardwalk and entered in the...
I'm in Nicecille for a week
would like to take son (AJow) and daughter (JOW)
Over to St Andrews in the next few
days
any condition reports or recommendations?
All 3 were in identical settings. As I mentioned I was changing out batteries, and let all 3 sit long enough to reset. Then verified all settings were the same. Initially the only difference was one was showing the H20 activate as on other two were off.
As for the altitude question that...
Can anyone confirm if Oceanic changed the formula for NDLs at some point.
The reason I ask is I own 3, 2 are used by my kids, other is a spare.
I was replacing batteries tonite and my son noticed they display different NDLs in Dive plan mode.
Computer 1 (spare) was manufactured in 05/06...
I was down to the LDS to pic up my daughters tanks and mentioned we were headed to FL.
Got to talking about dive sites and one of the guys said diving under bridges or around pilings was against Florida law. when I asked where he heard that he said the FL marine police told him Homeland...
interesting comments about practicing dropping weights. With most rec divers using integrated weights and many using rental gear it makes you wonder how many could actually ditch the weight.
We were doing confined water class today. One diver (an 11 year old boy) could not pull the releases...
been thinking through this and would like some input on it.
My daughter has been diving about 18 months (PADI JOW).
Up until now she has used an AL63 tank. i also have Compact 80s ( xs scuba steels) which weigh the same empty (27.7 lbs) but have very different buoyancy specs.
AL63 -3.0 to...
Agree on this one. The form MUST be signed by the parent if the student is a minor. Can't fathom how a parent would not read over forms before turining them in
The form specifically states that if you mark YES the instructor will give you information to give the doctor that should be...
Typically ( and this day) 7 pounds per side
soft weights
4 lower 3 upper
I don't have divider straps in my pouches. Each pouch has 2 distinct channels.
As I mentioned the problem is with one pouch. Does not happen with the other. When that pouch is moved to the other side the issue follows...
Well my son did his navigation dive Sunday to complete his Jr AOW.
He is 13 and has been diving since he was 10.
Before we agreed on him doing AOW he had to meet some of my (DAD) requirements.
He has 50 dives in his log, and can hover vertically, swim horizontal while maintaining neutral. He...
emoreira,
Read through that thread and at least I know this isn't an isolated issue.
I was using single soft weights so they may well have been falling from the back of the pouch when I went horizontal. Curious why you covered tehm. Was it to prevent abrasion of the pockets.
Funny the othere...
Was diving today and we were around 30ft when I felt a tug on my left side. Looked and my weight pouch had come out, BUT the velcro was still completely attached.
It seems like the plastic reinforcement built into the pouch had flexed and the pouch slid out. Put it back in and continued the...
I don't disagree with using an LDS IF you have a decent one. But if you don't live in a big diving area, you are often limited to one LDS and they may only carry one manufacturer. So unless you want their manufacturer you can't shop there.
I just recently bought some lawn equipment and went...
there are two types of groups. Community groups (the ones you join using the bar at the top of the page) and permission groups. You request access to permisison groups through your profile. It's on the left. Once on the permission groups list you can see teh group mods names and PM them...
I did that as well. When I didn't get a response, I emailed Richard to see if the request came through. He PM'd me back that there was an issue with the permission group request and asked I send a scan of my DM card.
BTW,
Once you get your card, you will need to e-mail a scan of it to the divemaster permission group mod. The request to join group function isn't working so well.
