    Possible CSSP on April 4?

    I am planning to be there too, and hoping to spend most of my time, at the Diverite booth. I want to try just about all of it. I like the new lights, do you think the vizibiity wil count as a night dive? I am not a Swamp person yet, but could I come and visit (or even dive) with some of you...

    Hey, check out Diverite's tech tour again

    Has anyone seen this up on the Texas Trips and Market Place forum? I asked them a bunch of quiestions, and am really looking forward to going this year. I want to try a dry suit because this year was too cold for these skinny bones to do any diving. I called on the price and it looks almost...

    Anyone going to the Diverite Tech tour?

    I saw the post about the Diverite Tech tour at Clear Springs in mid-September and I’m planning on going. I didn’t get to go last year because I had to work, but I already told my boss I need the time off this year. I am working towards going tech and want to see what’s available. Is it...

    DR 500 Lumen LED

    Whenever you open an underwater-electronic device, make sure you hold it so the open end is facing DOWN. In other words, you should orient your light so the battery-pack is at the top and the cord-end is at the bottom – this minimizes the chance of that stray droplet of water getting...

    CSSP - Air Price Increase

    Ok, so I see some folks spouting off with THEIR version of what THEY want to pay for an entry-price or for airfills. May I ask where these people came up with those prices? Did they consider all costs involved and do do an in-depth (no pun intended) analysis of EVERYTHING it costs each day...

    Dive rite Nitek He or VR3

    Jeez, Tristessa. You'd think that, of all people, an English major like you would know that the word is COMPLEMENT rather than COMPLIMENT. Yeah, better do your homework.

    Question about Instruction

    I plan on.... when I can..... If it.... Come on, man. A few weeks ago you were busting out at the seems to take a class, then you weren;t, then you were, then - - - - Can you set a firm date for us, so we can relieve some of the tension?

    Soon-to-be certified diver looking for a dive team

    Maybe I missed something here. If you're already an EMT, FF, and are so gung-ho to become a PSD, it would seem that you are a caring, compassionate individual (and from scanning a lot of your other posts it seems to be true), yes? So why do you have this "I'm leaving soon, so who cares...

    Question about Instruction

    Ok, big guy. So just WHEN are you going to actually DO something about diving? Lotsa posts, but not a lot of action.

    Don't touch me there!

    OW! OW! OW! Stomach hurts! Reminds me of a prank that we'd pull on the newbies in the Service. Some, but not all, of a particular type of aircraft we'd get in once in a while for maintenance would have a pilot's relief-tube with an overboard vent-fitting. We always made sure to escort one...

    Thoughts on the PADI Scuba Diver Cert

    What really gets to me is the terminology "ScubaDiver". Ok, I realize a title does not a diver make, but isn't it curious that PADI decided to name a half-baked course by the exact same thing that we most-often call ourselves? Think about it a minute here. Last time someone asked what you...

    Hydro test stamp?

    You are correct, Dave. Gotta hand it to you. Inspections aren't like a plug-gap or an ignition key. Because they won't kill you as fast as an overlooked inspection problem. And those DIR boys probably don't check the inspections really good. Because that's your responsibility as the...

    Oh wonderful. An online tech course.

    Now wait a minute here. Let me see if i understand the gist of a few threads I've been reading recently ..... There seems to be a consensus of most of the divers who spoke up that it is a good idea to go to a LDS and pick the store-monkey's brains about gear, try everything on and then go to...

    Easy Penetration Dives

    That recent comment about common sence reminds me of an incident that happened to me just a little while ago. See, there I was. I had just left the local watering-hole and had a cool one (for the road, you know) nestled in the armrest. And then I blew past one of our Local Finest at a...

    Easy Penetration Dives

    I guess you could say the same for anything that has to do with scuba, or a lot of other things in this life for that matter. As soon as you're underwater, your out of your natural element and have to grow gills real quick. All that said and done, if a person is confident and capable about...

    What computer do you own...?

    Hey Steel95s: I'm sure that was a typo about "LSD" helping me out, right? But, on the other hand, I've been places my local dive-store never ever thought of taking me (sounds of 'Steppenwolf' playing in the background). You called it a Nitek model-3, what's model 1 and 2? Is there such a...

    Seeking opinions

    Thanks, Bill for setting me straight. couldn't imagine going diving where's there's nothing to see. Guess inland divers don't have it as nice as those on a seacoast, where the vizibility may get down to 50 ft at times.

    What computer do you own...?

    Count me in too on the Nitek. I have the mixed-gas version because I was thinking ahead for a change. When I get into the real teck diving I'll be all set. Got it used, too (pawn-shop, so I'm afraid to take it in for service someday. It is a little "warm" to the touch). This may be off...
