Myrna and I will be there. Possibly with the kid-lettes, not sure.

Thanks Ontwreckdiver. I finally found where it says that. Not in the section on Nitrox mode, but in the front of the manual right after all the WARNING !!! statements. And also there's a statement in the Gauge mode section. So now I have to wait another 24 hours to change back to Nitrox mode...

Thanks, but the problem is that the MODEL option (under which you can select Nitrox/Air/Gauge) only comes up under certain conditions, and that's the dilemma.

Aluminum...I've always used a boot because, well, I thought it was the cool thing to do. And my neon yellow tank looks so much better when it doesn't have dings and stuff. But I think you're right, I'll toss it.

Actually it was left in Gauge mode from the repair shop and I want to switch to Nitrox. I'm pushing all kinds of buttons and it ain't goin'. I think there's some special steps you need to take first, like standing on one leg and rubbing your head, unless it's an alternate Tuesday... u4ia: The...

This is the second tank boot that has split on me. By "split" I don't mean walked out the door, I mean it cracked. Now when I install them on I first put the boot in very hot water to soften it and then slide it on the tank nice and easy, so it's not like I'm beating them up or anything. And...

Okay, what's the deal again with putting the Cobra in Nitrox mode? I know you have to change the Model setting, but that setting only shows up in a particular circumstance, and I can't remember what it is. Under Set Pref Options I only see LIGHT and UNITS, not MODEL. Arghh.....

The family has an extended 4 day birthday planned for me :D , and they're in cahoots on some secret stuff for tomorrow, so I won't be able to make it. I hope they open the beach up for you guys.

Hey, I may be able to join you guys Monday AM at N. Crescent. I just got a wonderful birthday present: the shop called and, after a long, dry month, my dive gear is finally back from repair !!!!! Brand new computer and everything. I think I'll futz with it in the pool first today or tomorrow...

Are you saying you do 50 yards swimming underwater, using only your legs, and without any fins? Geesh, that's impressive.

Okay, hold on, there's a flag on the play. 15 yard penalty, unfair use of logic. The ref is issuing a warning to ChillyWaters: if you insist on bringing a rational perspective to this discussion you're outta here.

Also keep in mind that as you try to swim faster and faster, the force you're swimming against increases exponentially. So relax, try to swim slower and save your energy. It will be a lot easier. And stick with it after your class. As others have said, it's very important. I got back into...

I'm kinda surprised that I rarely hear much discussion here about using dive simulator software. IMO it's an incredibly useful and educational tool. I also think that with these simulators you can get so much more insight about your dives than just focusing on tables. For example: My...

3-4 weeks for mine. Unless you need it sooner. Then it's more like 3-4 weeks.

Why the despising of the Cobra? Mine died a few weeks ago, so I'm a bit PO'd, but I haven't gotten to despising yet. Though between the crummy manual, and difficulty getting support, and the intermittent computer connector, and poor SDM, and... Hey wait a minute... I despise this thing !!!! :D

If I ever have a question about tipping, I refer to Jenazah's Rules for Tipping, posted last year in this link: Tipping Stuff Concise. Brilliant. Hilarious. For those who don't want to click, here are the rules re-posted for your convenience: "OK here is some general rule that I come up...

Whoa !! Don't you go blasphemin' 'round here !!! :11: Scubaboard is what keeps us connected to all our dive buddies and our get togethers and stuff. Think of all the folks you've met in person and dove with just because of SB !! For me it's gotta be at least 40 or 50 folks I never would have...

Uh oh...Someone's in a heap o' trouble... I'm gettin' out of here.... :D
