    How, why and when did you become an instructor?

    Couldn't breath hold as long as I wanted.. so I took up divin' in 1974..(breathing underwater was then and still is magical...compared to today..our gear was rustic) after diving we'd go grab something to eat (divers ///dive...hydrate...and eat or die) Then we'd share our story..what we wouldn't...

    Spearfishing and diving and how to stay stafe

    Am so sorry for the family left behind. The only report we've received so far, is that this diver went in 15 or so minutes before his buddies did...when the buddy pair went in, a big fish was seen..thrashing along the side of the ship..maybe it was an AmberJack..they then followed the line...

    blood coming from the nose every after dive

    ..Blood in your mask is not normal...(am thinkin' you knew that already)...your dive buddy needs to be examined by a Dr...sooner than later.. (ear,nose,throat specialist would be best)

    I think the competition to be the best travel BC just got a lot tougher!

    Been divin' with SeaQuest's "Zuma" for about a year now..rolls up, folds up..light weight..and sturdy....the inflator takes up more room than the BC..between pool and ocean must have used it over 400 times.....didn't think it would hold up to the abuse I subject it to..but it does! It's a back...

A guided dive..does NOT...

Most shops don't give refunds if you don't use the gear , cause your boat broke down..or whatever...If you're goin' on charters..rent gear as needed. It's lots less expensive..when you add it all up If you'll be drivin'...
