    Certain people should not be certified?

    Some people shouldn't even be allowed to go through with open water training. If you haven't read King Neptunes post about his favorite open water student, you should really give it a read. http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=280&highlight=zodiac It is in there somewhere.

    force fins

    Wreckwriter, I have used all there, force fins, twin jets, and combat boots, and I can honestly say that either fin would work better then the boots. :D As far as which fin is better, I think the force fin really shines if you get leg cramps, specifically calf cramps, the force fin will take...

    Sorry LDS but I want to Dive

    Where else would you take the class, leisure pro? I don't believe that your LDS, or any others, make much money off of the classes, they make it off the gear. I can understand your issues with the price, and I buy some stuff online myself because it is alot cheaper, but for the really important...

    I'm New here

    To answer you question, I would say that there isn't really a best board because they all address different issues. If you are wondering about wetsuits, then the Exposure Suits board would be best, if you have a question about cameras then your best bet would be the Underwater Photography board...

    Polls, back to top?

    How many people have noticed, and don't like the fact that when someone responds to a poll, but they don't make a new post, it still brings that topic back to the top? I use the "view new posts" feature alot and have noticed that posts will show up at the top even when there isn't any new...

    New to DIR, have some questions.

    Did I piss of Samir, I am freakin heart broken. Just to clear things up, I am not DIR, I don't own 1 single piece of gear from Halcyon, and I have never meet JJ. However, I have learned alot sense getting my OW cert. and as soon as I am no longer a poor college student, I am going to be getting...

    Why would anyone dive HP tanks?

    This is something I have been wondering about for some time. What is the real deal with HP/LP tanks? If you can safely fill a LP tank to 4300 psi (can you?) than why can't you fill a HP tank even more? What is the difference between a so called low pressure tank that gets a rating of 2400+ psi...

    New to DIR, have some questions.

    Just because they know what they are doing and have been diving and refining their gear setup for a long time doesn't mean you should listen to them. By all mean, take the "blinkers" (what ever that is) off your head and go get what ever gear you think looks cool, heck get it at the freakin...

    Stupid Wetsuit Question- what do you do with the zipper leash?

    Has anyone ever thought of cutting of the zipper and then attaching it with a bolt snap, it seems that you could then simply snap it on, zip up, then snap it off and through it in your bag, then repeat in reverse to get out of your suit. I know this seems like an awful amount of work but it...

    Diving with completely ruptured ACL

    Welcome to the board, and welcome to scuba diving, I can't help you with your question but I can suggest that you might have more luck if you ask it in the medical forum. We have some really helpful doctors here but I am not sure how many of them read the introductions forum.

    FBI @ Ginne Spring...

    First off, this whole thing has been discussed in detail in another post. Forgetting that for a moment, I will go ahead and give my 2 cents. As anyone reading my sig. line might be able to guess, I am not big on the government trying to take our freedom. However I don't have any real objection...

    Which post for DIR?

    I have been following this thread pretty closely and I have come to the conclusion that while bms MAY be one can short of a six pack, he is DEFINITELY missing the little plastic thingy that holds it all together.

    are there any real navy seals

    Don't mess with Don, he'll moderate yo ass. :D I will agree with Hanz in some respect though, at least one of the former SEALs was acting like a dumb ass, but then their where other former SEAL that were not, they were even getting pissed of at Halveson for representing the SEAL community in...

    are there any real navy seals

    Combat missions had no active military members, they where all former SEALs, or RECON or whatever. Also, it was a RECON guy (nutter) that struck me as the biggest goofoff.
