Dear Watersmurf, Thanks for your post on a 8 year old dead thread. You did forget the most important part of the story though. Your post implies that Jeanne was the instructor in question that did not train the deceased diver properly which is not true. As per PADI: Suzanne Smith, the...

Most boats offer an additional/optional 3rd dive after lunch which is why you are on the boat for 6+ hours. Most centers in Sharm will not bring you back between the 2nd and 3rd dive (Sinai Divers and I believe Camel offer the option to go back to port between the 2nd and 3rd dive). Some centers...

Why?

I agree with you 100%. The question was how much money does signage actually bring in? Either way I know I have to hustle and get them to come in the door. The question was how much business does a sign bring in? Not if I can just sit back and wait for customers. Do you have any input on that...

Hello all! I am in the process of opening up a new retail Scuba shop and I have a quick question. Is roadside signage that important in today's online world? I am thinking about opening in a very affluent area with awesome demographics and with very reasonable rent. Sounds like a dream come...

The case is ongoing so I can not. As I know more information I will update the thread. I shouldn't have posted the above message I apologize. I was just stating to the fact that sometimes something happens that is out of the instructor's control. On a better note the instructor in question...

I happen to know of a case where an instructor has been cleared of negligence in a case that involved a fatality. PADI cleared the instructor in question and now an inquest has been opened up in a different country (the country of residence of the deceased) and PADI has stated that if the court...

Ok kids I'm going to throw 2BAR into this conversation, I just came back from Egypt, got there in 2012 and worked there for three years. I lived in a beautiful compound (by American standards, not the s**tholes apartments that Europeans are accustomed to) in Sharm El Sheikh, drove a brand new...

Anybody hear anything about this? Questions linger about Chesapeake officer's dive gear after death | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com I don't understand how the quick release in a Zeagle BCD could fail other then the Zipcord breaking. Any thoughts?

I have to say I was a little worried that it took this long for someone to bring that up.:shocked2::shocked2::shocked2:

Hey TX Torpedo!! Your profile says you have a rating of Discover Scuba Diver? Will you have an instructor with you? Make sure you stay above 40 ft!! If you are ever in Houston look me up!! We can compare computers as I would love to try yours out. In return I can do two dives with you and get...

I have had the same problem with my strap. ScubaPro has replaced the strap no questions asked but what I did was use a Velcro strap and bungee to secure the unit. If you can find the straps used for the Cochran Gemini "Brick" (tank) unit those work great and are only a couple of dollars...

Have not updated my profile as of yet, took my tech class in your neck of the woods actually. I could see my Sol just fine at the bottom of lake Travis in absolute zero vis with the lights on (meaning the vis was zero with the lights on, not that I needed my lights to see the Sol). I can't...

Ok, I know I am way late to this thread. I bought the Sol with the hopes of it one day day being able to support Trimix diving. After a recent trip to the Red Sea I saw what the Trimix Sol could do and it was amazing!! We all know the real reason why the update is not being released and that...

Awesome news Crowley, when I arrive in August I will have to shoot over to Sharm and finally attach a face to the post. Beer's on me!!!

While I agree with you on some points, I have found that your generalization really only applies to people who get certified at resort locations. Having been certified at an "inland dive shop" as well as worked at several over the past 10 years, I find that the majority of our customers actually...

Ines you are correct, sorry for the mispost thought the palm Beach location was closer to El Gouna. Hope you are all doing well, you are all in our prayers here in the US

If you have not made your reservations yet try Aquarius Dive Club, they are truly the best operation in all the Red Sea!!! Tell them you referred by a Texas diver and they may even cut you a break!!! I have dove with them many times and they have always exceeded my expectations!! I have sent...

Crowley, Good to see you back, the Red Sea Forum has not been the same without you!!
