    Those beans!

    So after some time in Roatan Im addicted to those red beans. But now back in Canada I can't manage to find them at my Safeways or anything. Does anybody know an online retailer that sells the whole beans? Or if not that, the canned/mylar bagged ones.

    Trainer killed at Seaworld

    Budgeting for DM internship

    Maybe a more serious note is WHY? Further my dive experience, see if I want to try to make a go at something more serious. Are you looking to move away from your local area and think you will make a living as a DM? Yes, No If you plan on being a DM for your local shop then wouldn't they...
