Welcome to www.Scubaboard.com: a diverse online community of scuba diving enthusiasts dedicated to sharing the wonders of our underwater world in a safe, family oriented environment.

In order to post to our forums you must be over 13, read these Terms of Service (TOS), agree to abide by them, and register. Please feel free to bookmark this page so you can refer to it whenever you deem necessary.
This is a family oriented board. While the moderators will do their best to keep it that way, its impossible for us to review every post. Because all posts are the opinions of their respective authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of www.Scubaboard.com, we are not responsible for their content, authenticity or accuracy. If any post seems to violate the spirit of this concept, please use the "report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of the post to notify us.
The moderators have the last word in any dispute and are responsible for interpreting the TOS. At their discretion, when they deem it in the best interest of Scubaboard, they may edit or delete posts and threads, and ban users. The creation of multiple accounts ("sock puppets") for one person is prohibited. Membership is a privilege, not a right. We reserve the right to deny service to any person at any time with or without cause or notification.
No post should exceed a PG rating. Profane, insulting or mean spirited language is simply not allowed here. Neither is any sort of harassment or bullying. Threats of any sort are grounds for immediate banishment. While the debates may wax passionate, there is no need to revert to personal attacks. If you feel that you have been attacked, please do not retaliate and instead use the "report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of the post to notify us.
