I hear the Coast Guard boarded four dive boats so far this morning.

Seems somebody is making calls. AND they are boarding with passengers, which is unusual.

Any idea what for? Maybe thier passengers were in fact the SCUBA Police!:11:

...I am guessing it is related to all this fuss about deck hands unless you have a waiver?

And another thing, the developer taking over Kewalo Basin is going to require 5 million liabilty on all boats and 3 mil on their vehicles and the boat slip fees will go up from 10 dollars a foot to 25 dollars. (I am hearing)

Holy cow, the costs are going thru the roof for the operators in Waikiki. All the regulations and the price of real estate is going to put the sting on. Tourists come here and want the Mexico prices....
 
I heard there is a worldwide helium supply shortage, I also heard there is a worldwide oxygen shortage and that in Hawaii you must have an Instructor Card in order to go beach diving...I also stayed at a holiday inn express last night :)

Then off course there is the conspiracy about the martians...:)

/ducks from incoming fire.
 
Seriously, you better be happy you have that little rubber duckie.

My slip is being rebuilt, my slip will probably double at Ko-ko marina.

I may end up kayak diving yet.

I listen to your car saga, and this is how you mock me? :crafty:

Really? It happens fairly regularly here. The CG guys are usually pretty nice.
 
Oh yea...nice, it's just a bit unusual for them to board with customers.

We have a system in Hawaii Kai akin to flashing your headlights.

I'm street legal unless they watch me dock.

What EXCACTLY do you flash then?:11:

"I'm street legal unless they watch me dock."
Do you have a special license to dock your boat on the street?:rofl3:

If the CG realy wants to get pickie, deck hands are required to have a SCTW95 and someone on the boat needs a commercial radio operators license.
