Hi All, I haven't been hanging out much here lately. I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas from me & Lil Frank! I hope to get up sometime this coming year and make the rounds. You all still have an open invitation to visit her (Veracruz) also. Merry Christmas! Dive Safe...

Lone Wolf, If you should decide to come to Veracruz, drop me a line. I live hear and would be happy to show you around dive wise. fjltech@att.net.mx Dive Safe, Vettster

First off figure out how you are going to use the unit. If it is on a boat, do you want the added feature of a chart plotter? Having had both brands. Both hand held and mounted ones in the boat, I would say go for one from the Garmin company. Better software coverage, operating features and...

Lawman, Pics please...... I have a 23' Mako and ever since I put the trim-tabs on this past spring have been looking for an alternative to the side mount ladder that I have been using. Thanks, Dive Safe, Vettster

I think if i remember correctly they were called "twistoflex" bands. Anyway, My watch is a Seiko, M726. Rated for 200 meters, it's actually a computer (Navy tables). It does a good job recording max depth, times and surface intervals. I use it as a back up for my regular conputer. 300+ dives...

Dee, Got the IM. Sounds great! Will contact you on Fri or Sat. Look forward to sseing you and Beast again. ---Frank

And of course, we will have to get the newest Swampster (my Son) a T-shirt won't we Mike:D

Allright Guys (and Gals) Right now I'm kind of torn between driving up north on Sunday or going to Sea Space. Will discuss it with my Son when he gets in and see what he says. BTW: Looking for a boat. Anyone know of a 20-24' center console outboard that I can get for a good price? I want to...

Hi Dee, Can't make it Saturday. My son flys in at 1:30. Are you gonna dive Sunday? That one we can make for sure. If not, we will probly go to Sea Space. It looks like it will be a great time. Will be in town sometime on Thursday. (713) 829-7862 Can't wait. Cheers, Frank:)

Hi All, Long time no talk. I might be able to make it. My son is flying into Houston on Sat the 8th. So I will be driving up from Mexico. He is 13, just got certified and is really wanting to dive. This would be a good outing for him. Will be good to see you all again. Hope things work...

:) Yup! I use one. I have had it for a little over a year now. The weight attachment system is what sold me on it. (and the metal cam-lock for the tank strap) The jacket should last for a number of years of diving. I don't think the Velcro attachment systems found on some of the other...

Zept, I am fairly new (2-3 years) to the sport, but have logged a little over 150 dives to date. With the exception of probably 5 of these dives I have used the following Weight integrated BC's: 1) Sherwood Magnum (Integrated weights W/velcro attachments) 2) Scuba-Pro Classic (Integrated...

Blacknet, Thanks. Thats exactly what I'm trying to point out. :) A student or diver should have a right to know. O.K. I'll get down off of my :box: now. Dive Safe, Vettster :mean:

Quote: Personaly I would not want my info posted everywhere for people to see. It would be humilating and somewhat degrading to me. Ed. How about if you were going to choose an instructor for yourself or someone you know? I agree, releasing this information could be degrading to some. (Or...

I tried to find out this a little while ago and ran into a brick wall. I contacted PADI several times and only got a response after posting a link to the thread in my e-mail. I had heard about an uncontrolled ascent injury which happend here locally and wanted to find out exactly what...

Hi all, Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!:) Seasons Greetings to all!!!!! Best Wishes, Vettster (The displaced Swampster)

Wow! Great links!;) Thanks Guys (& Gals);) Recommended reading! Dive Safe, Vettster

Butch103, No problem! Your'e right. The answer was not too suprising. What with all the litigation going on and so forth. I was kind of hoping that as a PADI Professional, I could get some additional information on the mishap. Dive Safe;) Vettster

Now we know. Here is the PADI response: Dear Frank, Thank you for your email. It appears you've sent an earlier query that was not replied to. I've checked my mailbox and didn't find it, but it's possible it was forwarded to someone else or lost due to hardware problems we've been...

It's ProSub. Never tried one of their regs. But, I have owned several of the products listed in their catalog. (Mask, lights, gloves etc) In my opinion, it's low quality stuff. At first glance it looks good. But, after a dive or two it either breaks or falls apart. In life support...
