Was it Ginger? or Mary Ann?

I'm sure the parmedics carry the "GOOD STUFF". I heard the same thing can happen with Cortizone creams, which also work. (you can get sentive to it) Ask anyone who has been stung by a MOW. Even the "Pee" remedy doesn't sound bad when you are in excruciating pain...

Many of the dive boats in the Florida Keys have white vinegar readily available on the boats. This works almost instantly on moon jelly stings as well as fire coral and stinging hydroids. Portuguese Man O wars are a totally different ball game. Vinegar will help a little but not as well...

Hi Marv, Look at the top of my post ..... it was Bowson's comments I refered to. Not yours. His comments were unwarranted and pretty stupid. If he had no funds he could teach, did very well with it in the past.

You obviously have no clue about Victor, do you.

Victor signed Mike off on his IANTD Nitrox Instructor rating. Guess that is as far as he got with Victor. I trained with Victor to the Trimix and IT levels. Absolutely BRILLIANT. I have been told by several sources that Victor is only teaching people that he has taught before. Too bad...

Bubble Boy, Didn't know it was up to four accredited labs. When I was getting my air analyzed by Maxxam Analytics there were three, and one was on the verge of losing their rating. I can see why most shops wanted OUC to test their air. Maxxam charged $240.00 per test. OUC was less than...

KEV, Like other Canadian standards / laws, the governement takes the "posthumous" approach to enforcement. Meaning, they don't do squat till some one is killed. Take the explosion in Tobermory a few years ago for example. After that, TSSA, (www.tssa.org) Technical Standards & Safety...

Technician, Which CSA standard did they get their air tested, in accordance to? Who does the testing? The reason why I ask is this: With the increase in demand for high purity air for trimix diving, testing becomes critical. Obviously, the deeper you go, the better the air (and other...

Not any more. Quiescience is one of the shops that won't be dealing with the new distributors of Poseidon. Paul (at Quiescience) sold off his Odin inventory to some shop in southern FLA, I got the Cyklon stuff from Paul. You are right, for Poseidon work it was THE place to go. Heck, for...

Qualified PSI instructors in Cave Country? What would they do with all the over pressurized tanks they fill on a daily basis? I heard one guy talking to another, while they were filling tanks, and he mentioned he had just VIPed a tank with "Sand" in it. And was wondering how you go about...

I totally agree about the service. I've had Odins come in where some tech actually put the valve insert (the condom) back in, inside out. Also, now that Trellenborg Viking has taken over the distribution of Poseidons, they are requiring past dealers to fork out another 1500 bux for stock to...

I waited 2 months for Scuba Pro to release my Smart Pro for original delivery. Yet I could have easily bought one on ebay for 400 bux on BUY IT NOW. brand new.

I found the same thing...so I made my own on Microsoft Excel. Worked for me.

I hope you mean KW = Kitchener Waterloo and not KW = Key West. October is Fantasy Fest time in Key West.... would have to start wondering bout good ol Uncle Bob. HAHA

"cold water down the neck" BRRRRR thanks for reminding me. I'll never forgive you. HAHA

Hey, how do you like McDonald's restaurant's web site? HAHA

Personally, I prefer working on my own regulators as well. Getting parts kits can be tricky. Specially Poseidon kits. Diveinn seems to have them one day then not the next. So grab them when you can. If you need the special tools to work on the regs try http://www.scubatools.com/...

I have 9 computers. Two of which are Cochrans. One Commander nitrox, one Nemesis IIa. Of all my computers I love the commander the best. So does my better half. Large display, easy to locate info, gas switching if I want it (I prefer tables, but its cool when the tables and the computer...

One thing you may want to try. Actually get one VIPed by him. When you get the tank back see if you get a report on their findings. If not, ask them to PROVE they actually did the VIP. Make sure you do it when there are lots of customers around. You may end up with more than...
