    Equipment Exchange

    US Divers Service Kits

    I am paying for the kit but my Instructor is going to do it. I believe the model is 'Select' thats what it says on the reg, on the octopus it says nothing...? I am going to invest in an up to date set, but I have to get a BCD first. Bobby

    PADI Master Diver Rating

    As people have stated its not a course and so on and so forth, but my point is, if you want it get it. And I agree with some of the positiveness about it, but as always there are always people who claim its for 'card collecters' for 'vanity' etc, well so what, PADI doesn't think so, they sure...

    If you are a new diver, please read this

    I've been reading the replies and thought I'd put my two cents out there. At Open Water level, giving someone more technical stuff to worry about is off putting. However, that being said, diving is one of the most dangerous sports in the world maybe some gas management would be benefical to...

    Cressi - Sub Back Jac or Safety S111R

    Hi, Just wondering, I am starting my DM in June and I was originally going to buy the Safety S111R. But then I saw the Back Jac. What are the advantages in back inflation? I know it that doesn't feel uncomfortable around your body and keeps the tank stable? But other than that? I was also...

    I have been diving for 9 years (August 24th I completed my Open Water) and I since I completed my Rescue Diver my Instructor told me to watch everything he does and all the other staff. I helped out around the shop, such as tank fills, helping him get kit ready, getting weights, working in and...

    Every night, I go to bed, if I don't fall asleep straight away, I always seem to have one nostril that gets blocked, it clears in the morning after a while, but I am wondering if there is a medical condition for this or is it just bad luck? Thanks, Bobby

    Popular Specialities

    The Rescue Course is a Major Cert like ND just said. Its one of the most important, its when you start becoming of other dives and go into more depth at the problems and some psychology, like how to tell if a diver is stressed, if you notice any out of ordinary behaviour. But yeah, its a full...

    I also agree that it should be given with the 5th speciality, maybe something other PADI Professionals could look at doing? I know thats probably what I'll be doing! Bobby
