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?
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...
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...
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...
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...
Does nayone have a map, list of dives within the bay. Considering using a pontoon boat out of Bennings MWR site on the Bay Side of Destin. Only they restrict use to within the bay.
Can't figure out how to do this. I know I've done it before. Maybe I'm narc'd.
On the left of my posts it shows

DiveMaster Candidate
How do I change the DiveMaster Candidate Line?
Seems there are a lot of post complaining about these.
I don't think I did great but got 14 points. And I'm a chubby 47 year old.
Got a 5 on the tread swim (maybe chubby is better here as it helps you float)
Got a 3 on 800 meter swim with fins. (just settled in at a steady pace)
Got a 4 on...
Well I finished up my last item this past weekend. the 400 meter swim. Got a 2. For a total of 14 on stamina.
Put the application together and mailed it today.
When I called PADI to make sure I had the correct address, they initially told me I could fax it or email it in. I asked how that...
Finished the interneship portion
Passed all the tests
Did three of the four Water Stamina Tests
Got a 5 on tread/float (this is really a boredom tests)
Got a 3 on the 800 meter
Got a 4 on the tow
So I have 12 points. But have not attempted the 400 meter swim.
Trying to find out when the cut off is for the "OLD" PADI DM course.
If you started under the old program, does your application have to be to PADI before July 1st?
or
Did you have to begin your training before July 1st?
All I could find was this from the initial training bulletin:
What...
My son (13) is diving a AquaLung Balance and a Steel HP 80. Usually a 3mil suit.
Well over the last 6 months he has grown over 6 inches and lost his baby fat or something, as he is now skinny and tall.
That's where the issue comes in. Last season he need around 8 lbs in his ditchable pockets...
Several threads about o-rings mention this site. Well I ordered some last Tuesday (4/26) On 4/28 I got an email saying they would ship within 1 business day.
No word since then. Status still showing will ship in 1 business day.
if anyone else has actually ordered from them, how was your...
Generally 90 is used in high pressure locations and 70 in low.
But ready through other threads and some websites I see 70 listed for the valve to regulator connection on Yoke valves.
Any comments or thoughts appreciated.
Took a pair of HP 100's and an HP80 in for fill yestrday.
The LDS is now charging $7.50 for tanks over 80 but less than 120.
80s are still $5.00
Is this a growing trend? Never seen a difference on fills based on tank size.
So what do you feel is acceptable for a new tank.
I ordered 2 tanks one was born 07/10 the other 02/10.
They only shipped the 07/10 and were going to ship the other when one with a better date came in a shipment they had due.
Since it didn't show up and I was offered an 03/10 which i thought...
