Congratulations, and welcome to the 'club'!

Congratulations! Good work!

Not to turn this into a Middle Tennessee thread, but with MTSS, I have had nothing but good experience with them. The people are good, both shop staff and the independent instructors. Prices are in line with what you see for other shops located in the Cool Springs area (higher than small town or...

I carry a foldable in my BC pocket except in classes when I clip one to my mask. I like having the foldable available if I have a long surface swim, but in all honesty, I haven't had many where it was needed. It's kind of like a knife. I don't use it often, but when you need one, there's no...

I'm not really proposing that the theory is correct, only that it's the latest in a long string of theories... It's model just accounts for the decrease in temperatures up until the 1900's that the 'traditional' global warming models can't account for and usually write off as 'false data'. My...

Actually, I don't believe that reputable scientists claim that we've "created" a hole in the ozone layer. I believe that they say we've "enlarged" it and thinned the overall layer. The earliest references to a hole in the ozone layer go back to the 1987's when scientists in the Antarctic...

When buying a new regulator, ask to have the reg adjusted with the rest of your kit. My shop does so for free, as have all of the other shops I've purchased from in the past. I recently bought a ScubaPro Mk25/S600 reg set and hooked it up to my existing Air2 without their adjusting it due to...

I'd be especially interested in some artificial reefs that start with "Carnival", "Princess" or "Disney", but that's just me... Tachyon

I've never flown with dive equipment, since most of my diving has been in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico or inland where I can drive fairly easily. A friend of mine had his entire kit, diving gear, photo and clothing, etc. stolen on a trip to Cancun. They eventually found his empty bag. Of course...

On 8-April-2006, the Scuba In Ten City Tour comes to Franklin, Tennessee. http://www.scubadiving.com/tour/middle_tennessee.html My better half and I will be there with the Cool Springs SCUBA Club helping with the food. Come out and say, "Hi!" tachyon

I have a twelve year old SeaQuest Spectrum 3 BC that's still going strong. I bought a Zeagle last year because I wanted weight integration and none of the current crop of BCs from the 'big two' that my LDS carries would fit without extenders, etc. The Spectrum still gets the call for river...

Please remember that the sale and service of inner tubes is a best left to the professionals at your local bike shop (LBS). The acquisition of this critical bike support equipment should not be done through a mail order facility or through untrained personnel at a general merchandise store. Any...

You can blame my being in the water on Arthur C. Clarke, Gordon R. Dickson, Robert A. Heinlein, E. E. "Doc" Smith and their books of science and fantasy from years gone bye. A Whitman book called "Divers Down" from when I was in Middle school added to the interest, so when I was offered the...

You probably want to consult with an attorney there concerning inland salvage rights. For instance, if you salvage a Sea-Doo; the insurance company will most likely abandon the property to you in lieu of paying a salvage fee on the watercraft. Same is true with a boat or other property. You...

I renewed my DAN membership and insurance recently as well. My initial membership date is June 28, 1994, and I've had DAN insurance for every dive since then. Sometimes there is a gap in diving, and I don't renew the insurance until I'm planning to dive again; but even if you get dive insurance...

I had LASIK done about five years ago, and I couldn't be happier with the results. At age 41, my arms are starting to get shorter, and I have to hold books, etc. a little farther out. Reading glasses are definitely in my future, but gauges and dive computers are still fine. My prescription...

Good luck! I'm another old timer who finally got around to taking my AOW. I took the class last fall, and I'm waiting for warmer water to do the adventure dives (PADI). I took the Peak Performance Bouyancy Class this week and am taking the Enriched Air -Nitrox Class tomorrow. When I do the...

My main dive watch is a Seiko 150m Quartz Dive Watch I bought in 1980. It's been on 400+ dives with me. It's presently in the shop, but should be ready for me to pick up this week. My backup is a St. Moritz Momentum M1 Pro SE that I bought a few weeks ago just in case the Seiko didn't make it...

I see this as being a rather simple issue. This chamber network has chosen to take a financial / business issue public. In the U.S. this could very well be illegal if any patient information is released, and for DAN to 'prove' they are in the right to skeptics would require that they release...
