I have never booked on a boat as a tourist that I have not had to pay for my spot in advance. There has always been a cancellation policy so that I get a refund as long as I don't cancel inside 24 hours. Why would you complain about others cancelling (for whatever reason) then say that you would...

Batteries are readily available, T2 has replaced the T1, I can read mine in the sun, dive info shows up in the surface mode but is easy to go into the log as well, Tx stays atteched to your 1st stage either screwed directly into it but I do recomend putting it on a 6" hose to avoid the potential...

I deal with panicked divers much differently than this. He was calm through most of it, but yeah you'd think he would choose to hold onto one at least. We did a few practice drills after that too.

So I was taking a new junior diver on his 8th dive. Conditions were great, bit of low vis from 0-20 ft but unlimited below that with lots of light. We did our descent to 40ft and were about to start swimming around. I looked down to turn on my camera and when I looked up his octo was free...

What was the age of the kids? They must be eight to do the BubbleMakers program so any kids I have had in the pool doing this just stand up if there's a problem. They shouldn't be in a pool over their head although I have had a couple very short 8 year olds. If the out of water instructor saw...

Dont get me wrong, I do tip 5$ a dive, I just dont consider that alot. I guess it does add up with 8-10 divers in my DM`s group. I have shown my instructor card, it usually lets me get a little longer in the water or to be left alone more.

I know theres no sponges but is there still a bouy on Wain Rock. I thought Jonathan put one there a few years ago.

I know when I stop in Hawaii, I will do up to 10 dives on the same boat in a weekend. I put too much on the CC to tip too much. Bit, I dont let anyone change my tanks, I carry my own stuff and I even help with carrying tanks, and they dont have to watch me too close underwater.

It is great that he took it over, I like alot of the changes made in the first weekend. The banks were being installed right away and there are BP, wings and doubles in the windows. I will think again about doing the Trimix course but still not sure what i'll get out of it for for my 150ft...

Sorry Dave, made the update, shows how not Trimix qualified I am. This post did not come from Dave by the way, he would have done it the right way.

I have only been tipped a couple times in my years as a DM/Instructor. As a customer here I find the boat prices high enough, compared to Halifax and the Lakes that I feel that when I pay 100-120 a day that is enough money. I do get paid OK as a DM here, even if my dives are a little shorter...

Dave Healy has bought Great Ocean Adventures and renamed it Deep Down Diving. It will be fully tech with Dive Rite and DUI products, banked 32%, continuous flow Trimix. It will offer SDI, PADI and TDI couses including Trimix.

I will be passing through Ainsworth next Thursday. Does anyone want to dive the ferry?

I practice CESA's still from about 55 ft and up. Not having a bailout plan or a way to get air from a buddy is poor planning. Glad you're OK, lucky you weren't deeper.

Halcyon reel (grey). Boat was moored the the stern. Dropped it on the safety stop. If you happen to find it and want to return it, pm me.

How cold can it be, it's 44-46 deg here. I'll give them a try though.

Anyone know of any, I can't find any links. I will be there in November.

Ogden had about 20 ft today, finally saw another Ratfish after about 5 years.

Looking for a buddy for Jan 2nd in Nanaimo. It's with Sundown diving 55$ for 1 dive. Doubles prefered. PM me.

Anyone doing any in the Victoria area???? Looking for a buddy.
