Sleaze in Cozumel

That is the type of off gassing I want no part of.

I was always taught a steady stream of bubbles helps the boat captain keep track of the group.....

This would require coordination.......inhale while off gassing. Otherwise you would have one big bubble that would rise quickly. Hope the boat capt. isn't smoking when it hits the surface:mooner:

and Chief wonders why he never sees the good stuff! Between the superman pose, the "offgassing", and trying to find a place to hide that last bottle of tequila... face it, you scare em away. Heck you're starting to scare me!

There is no Central Scrutinizer.

Does this mean that the white zone is NOT for loading and unloading only? I miss Frank : (

Well, I agree, usually there are at least two sides to something - but in this case, there really isn't any room. The info I provided is factual and correct and is not in dispute.

Now, he DID say something to the effect of, "Well, you did get the training you paid for..." which is true. However, I wasn't JUST paying for training. And, in case you're wondering, it's not a case of "not passing" or having paid and expecting the card no matter what. Guy came right out and said he thought I was in the top 10% and was a clear pass, etc. etc. So, not the issue. In case you were wondering.

Anyway - I think his bottom line was that I got trained, the associated c-card didn't really matter. Easy position to take I guess.

After one of those, you don't want to cough too hard....

If it was like most courses, doing the training was more work than learning - and you have to repeat the work as well as the payment to get it from an honest Inst. A complete refund would only be a partial settlement.

I would argue that you not only didn't get the c-card, you also didn't get the training you paid for, since they are not authorized to provide it irrespective of whether it was NAUI, PADI, GUE or whatever.

And the "jet propulsion" means you're not swimming, which will improve your SAC rate.

I realise it's a distinctive odor, but would the PADI Deep Offgassing course count as a Distinctive Speciality?

Can you use this technique to hold position against a current? How much current?

Do you need a DPV C-Card to eat the beans?
