    Parents sue Boy Scouts for 2011 negligence death

    I think it took a lot of courage to write this open letter. It goes to show that there are still individuals out there with intergrity. Kudo's to Brian and SDI for speaking up.

    Life insurance

    I tried Sun Life, USAA and AllState and all denied me. The scuba diving was okay with all three, but the skydiving and rockclimbing, they didnt like so much. I showed them proof of a C license for skydiving and my log book and I showed them my AMGA TRSM & rock I certifications and they still...

    Coast Guard Auxiliary

    I want to be careful on how I word this. From my understanding, the Aux is not really that much part of the USCG. They have thier own rank structure, many of thier crafts are owned by their members. They, I believe are not armed nor do any MLE duties. They dont attend the USCG boot camp nor any...

    Coast Guard Auxiliary

    This is inacurate. The AST's (resuce swimmers) are not divers. They do not scuba dive neither as a rate nor collateral duty. All AST's are active duty & enlisted (not auxilary or reserves). The USCG auxilary are volunteers that provide mission support to the USCG. They dont go through the USCG...

    4,000 mile rescue - Chuuk Atoll

    When the call comes in from sector for help, the USCG goes. They dont debate cost. I am proud to have sons in the USCG and proud of what they do.

    Questions for Ex-NAVY Divers

    I looked at your bio and it said you are serving in the Army and I guess at Benning. Question for you. Did you ever go through the either of the dive schools? I served (Army) and went to Key West for the 6 week course (I think this is either 7 or 8 weeks now) and my sons are currently serving...

    Perforated eardrum and future dives

    I would surely see an ENT before diving. I damaged my ear drums and I had a portion of my ear lobe used for the repair of my ear drum. I was a warm water diver and didnt really have any issues with clearing my ears once I received a go ahead from my ENT to return to the water. I moved to a...

    Quarry Diving?

    I have not been home to Lauderdale for over 20 years now, but I used to dive the quarry right off of griffin road. Seen gators and they never bothered any of us. I also dove in some large ponds in Plantation and never was bothered by the gators.

    Female Commercial Divers

    I doubt you even met this women. So how can you say this seriously? I spent 6 years in combat units and there were a many females that served along side us in "support roles" on our missions (from free falling, waterborne inserts, rappels, humping 80lb rucks of ammo and comms, et el) and just...

    Weight system for BP wing ...

    This is how I dive my rig. I did however pulled my weight handles last weekend on my last dive and I was glad I waited for my last dive, for it was cumbersome rethreading them back.

    Becoming a female navy diver?

    . The bad news is your PST scores are the same as your male counter parts. The good news, the PST scores are not that of the SEAL's or SWCC's. Keep in mind that the PST is bare mininmum (IAW AR 40-501). The Seabees UCT has women in thier units. My son did the Navy dive school (he isnt Navy...
