    For resort guides/DMs: Rushing?

    I may sound like a hypocrite here but I've been on both sides of the "boat" if you will. As an instructor/dm in the Caribbean, I may have rushed divers on more than one occasion, but never to the point of bypassing safety checks. It was more for inconsiderate divers and those who didn't care...

    Scubapro Twin Jet Max vs Apollo XT vs Aqualung Slingshot

    I've used the twin jet max and currently have the slingshots. Nothing can touch the torque and propulsion of the slingshots. They are fantastic and comfortable. Yes, they are a little pricey, but so is scuba gear. The only thing I have found close it good old fashion rocket fins.

    Big Man seeking Mask/Fin Recommendations

    I'm 6'6" and 300lbs, with a size 13-14 foot The mask has to be a good fit. You can't go by a "brand" or a style. Try them all and purchase the one that fits your face the best, regardless of brand. For fins, there are many different styles out there. Much has to depend on your leg strength. I...

    2007 SEC Football Discussion Thread

    I remember the guy saying that cat weighed 1500#s. Could I have misunderstood? Possibly. At this point I don't care. It was a very large cat. I thought some of you fans-whose school mascot is a tiger-would like to see it. Apparently I was wrong. How's that for a better story?

    No, that wasn't his permanent cage, it was a transitional cage. Thankfully. The pic doesn't do his size any justice. My hands, when I spread them across are 10" from pinky to thumb. When I spread my hand across the top of his head there was still at least 2" past each digit just to the edge...

    Gulf Shores/ Orange Beach - Oct 13th? Anyone?

    I would be MORE than happy to do a dive on the 13th. The Whiskey is right in my backyard.

    #9 VT was so tough they dropped to #15 quicker than an LSU student drops advanced math. Oh and LSU has the tough opponents like Tulane and Middle Tennessee and Louisiana Tech, and two of those games at home. And you beat the #12 team EASILY. I don't call a 8 point victory an "easy" victory. Give...

    What a joke. Maybe USC should play a Conference USA team to keep their standings. I'm willing to bet the rankings will be back to normal after next weekend. This is just another example of the blatant SEC bias.

    Small chance I might be able to commit after Wednesday evening. I'll be able to tell then.

    It's amazing how any Florida fan can feel confident about their record. I guess when you beat up Troy and W. Kentucky, you've got a lot to brag about. I'm sure LSU, or any other SEC team, is shaking in their boots.

    Oriskany Dive - Oct. 6th 2007

    I'm just not real thrilled about driving all the way to Pensacola when Gary's is right down the street from me.

    Moving to St. John USVI...PLEASE GOD I NEED TIPS!!!

    You're going to find that almost everything is homes or rooms for rent. I can't recall too many apartments. On St. Thomas, they're is a lot of government housing (don't live there). A room to rent or sharing a house is probably going to be your best bet.

    Oriskany Dive - Oct. 6th 2007

    OK, who do I need to contact to get in on this dive? I'm pretty sure I can make it. Gary, I'll dive as crew if you need an extra pair of eyes :D

    Moving to St. John USVI...PLEASE GOD I NEED TIPS!!!

    First, There's not much on St. John. Housing is limited and expensive. St. Thomas is much more populated. The first thing you need to go with is housing. Everything after that will fall into place. You will find a ride quickly, although you really wont need one. I lived on St. Thomas for a few...

    Question about dive logs

    Land is cheap in Missouri for a reason. You don't need the name of the guy, he knows an experienced diver when he sees and talks to one. There are other circumstances other than just "showing" a C card, for example being in a Navy uniform with one of these on the first time you walk into...

    NAUI or PADI Divemaster?

    Personally, I would do both. Especially if he can do both either consecutively or at the same time. BTW, the poodle shooter is the better choice. The MP5 is too limited.
