    New York Bombings

    Murdering innocent civilians is not acceptible under any condition... This is a cowardly act that is unforgivable... What might be the motive for such a political statement? Regardless, it gains nothing... Our hearts are thoughts with the families, Saudi Arabia is still in shock from...

    LesleyDSO: Thank you for taking the time and effort in responding. I am aware of the 12/24 flying rule, I was forced into taking an earlier flight because of unforseen circumstances. The morale is: no matter what happens or how urgent you need to fly, don't do it and wait instead...

    I had the same problem with the Air X, it beeped until everyone in the Red Sea took notice.... nontheless, the Air X is great. However, I spoke to my LDS, and they are happy to adjust my computer as often as I want. I went from metric to imperical and back, then got the same hassle with my...

    Recalled Scubapro regulators?

    LDS won't do annual maintenance

    The LDS is an exclusive Scubqapro agent, but I think they are avoiding doing this, since it invloves sending the reg to another city and returning it afterwards. Possibly to cut costs. Thanks for the info, I guess we must be firm when it comes to safety and not allow a LDS to cut corners...
