Hi, I'd like the knife mainly, do you have pictures & a price?

So I went out for dinner, came back, found this. lol To me, I would stick with a un-bungeed wing. Some of the pros & cons just end up flogging a dead horse. But I'd like to see anyone deny that a bungeed wing presents a smaller chance of entanglement compared with an unbungeed wing...

I climb out of the water & my car has magically transformed into a lambo with JB in the front seat.

There have been various discussions about this I'm sure but I found this on the web and felt like sharing it. To those who feel offended by this, tough luck :) From: Bill Lais Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 14:56:06 EST To: rickhave@juno.com, cavers@www.geek.com Subject: Re...

The tough 8000 is a pricey camera. Get a housing, take it down, if it floods at 30m, clip it off to a SMB and shoot it up. Despite the flood, it wont spoil since the camera itself is waterproof. This was one of the main reasons why I wanted it. And yet, i went with a different camera for its...

Well that cleared up a lot of issues :D I'm probably going to have to save up for a padi idc then, grumble mumble... Experience wise, I'll just have to make up for it by hounding the more experienced instructors and learning from them since it is PADI after all. but lets not go there... I'm...

being brutally honest with you guys, i'm just trying to find the cheapest route since $$$ is the main factor for me right now. if i intend to work as a padi owsi (since its the most employable open water instructor qualification) which would be the cheapest route?

so if i intend to be a padi owsi, i might as well do the idc and ie straight away from padi? because bsac recognises padi owsis and from what i've been told, its a quick cheap conversion process. not the same from bsac to padi?

does padi recognise bsac? can i be a padi owsi if i have a bsac instr rating?

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a spot (as usual) Ok background : I'm a university student in the UK and am currently a PADI DM and I worked with a diving company in sunny singapore for the last 6 months. Now, being a uni student, i am effing poor. So I need to do this the cheapest way possible...

Bob, either way you've got a hideous amount of money lying around. I'd probably find 100 dollar bills stuffed into shoes in your garage. My idea of a luxury trip is a free one. :D i'm used to diving from wooden bumboats and rusty ladders with hardly a square foot of space to rig up from and...

:rofl3:

What if I dive in 100' vis in the waters off a warm sunny island? :D *ducks for cover*

I do believe you have labyrinthitis. Its an inflammation of the inner ear and its known to be associated with disturbances in balance. However, due to the inflammation, I presume its blocking the tubes that need to stay open in order for you to equalise your ears. Its not a permanent condition...

you've seen the video of the dude in the black and blue drysuit on youtube (the 5th dx video) I've managed to get my buoyancy such that I don't move by more than half a foot or so but how the ^@%@ do you not move at all like that guy??? it seriously blows my mind. although I have seen a...

And i thought my OW was bad...mine abandoned the group at 22m for a swim through canyon and a glimpse of a whale shark. Whole OW group (6 of us) were separated and each of us managed to surface without a safety stop and without killing ourselves. this was OW dive 4. but yours takes the cake man...

I took half an hour to type out a decent reply and I closed the effing window. ^%@^&@*!!!!!! Well here goes again. ARGH! You and I are about the same then. You shouldnt need much more than 6lbs of weight with a 3mm wetsuit, but you'll learn to finetune this by yourself soon enough. Just...

Its hard to do anything really. The world is full of selfish c*nts. Agencies (most of them anyway) just want to make money as do a lot of instructors and dive shops so they make courses ridiculously easy and problems happen. How will 5 hours in a pool with 1 instructor to 8 students ensure that...

If you ask me, in the ideal world, with ideal instructors who have the knowledge and ability to make good judgement calls (ie. the instructors arent just 100 30min dives under their belt type instructors) then agency standards are a guideline with the ultimate decision left up to the instructor...
