    You got me! Working on a word online with Tanya as I write. Scrabble (it's addictive). Sorrisi or Kinta? (Italian or Mexican) Did someone already ask that?

    Training Death in Coz - what could have been done differently?

    I only want to point out that these panic moments can happen at any time, not only when there is a skill practice. The skills may have been completed just fine and most of the dive could have been over before something happened to make him panic. Who knows what (or when it) actually happened...

    Advice on PADI AOWC in Mexico

    You can usually get good flight deals from Houston to Cozumel or Cancun. Cozumel is truly incredible for diving and there are quite a few great dive ops there. I would recommend Aldora Divers, and not just because I used to work there, but because they are excellent. But you can do your homework...

    Tipping your instructor

    If tipping just stopped, most DM's would still remain in their jobs. Maybe you would see a shortage of waters and waitress'. Here in Mexico, very few would find other jobs, there simply aren't many choices. Some have and do work hard for years washing equipment or filling tanks and etc. to get...

    Crab anyone?

    Wow! Where do you catch those crabs? I am in Bellingham often. I've never ventured into the water up there, too cold, I'm a wimp. But dungeness are the best, I will have to do my homework and face the cold.

    Tipping your instructor

    For a dive course just a 20$, bottle of wine, some chocolate and etc. is a very nice way to say thank you and that you appreciated the work and patience. DM's working dive trips are more often than not splitting tips with the captain, crew and any others who may be hauling your gear behind the...

    Magnifying Glass

    If anyone is still looking, give aspheric magnifying glasses a try. They are curved so supposedly there is no distortion. Yes, they are expensive.
