    Almost died today--Any captains out there???

    I just have to laugh even harder at this entire situation here. Out of 19 pages of replies and postings, we get HOW MANY from Waterwarrior? FOUR POSTINGS!! It seems that NOW he wants to go dive a wreck that he just marked the other day. Again, it seems another ditch effort to get more attention...

    Will a Nitrox card work as a C-Card for most operators?

    When you come and dive with us in Key West, we require you have A certification card with you. The standard spiel is that you sign the waiver and hold us not liable for anything basically. That being said, I suggest carrying just your AOW card unless you are going to a dive operation that has...

    PADI Advanced open water to instructer

    I have been diving for 24 years, have thousands of dives, have dealt with students in the military, public safety, and recreational area, and STILL find it hard to find a good job in the field that is steady and regular. So to increase my marketability, I am doing my MSDT. You will find that in...

    Almost died today--Any captains out there???

    Everyone is missing what I have said on the past two pages. The OP is NOT THE SAME as when it was first put up. The OP has edited the post based on what will appease the SB thread, illicits the most sympathy at the time, or what works to stall any hosility or animosity that has risen. It seems...

    Almost died today--Any captains out there???

    I posted this on the last page. For those of you who think we are being critical, the OP has made numerous changes to the OP so unless you started out fresh on this thread when it first went up, you really cant follow all the drama that has been going on

    Tank rentals/ air fills Key West

    Leslie said our boat should be back in the water this week, so you can dive with Captains Corner on the Sea Eagle. We had to do our yearly haul out, and took the opportunity to get some engine work and general maintenance done while the Coast Guard had us out for inspection

    Tank rentals/ air fills Key West

    Oh boy that is the question of the night..... There are so many good places to stay down here. It all depends on what your budget is. I could tell you to stay at the Ocean Key House or Sunset Key for up to $1000 a night, but that might be too much (duh). Or you could do Eden House or Curry...

    Almost died today--Any captains out there???

    Ok I am going to put my pre-tax $.02 in here again. I was one of the first to post up on this topic, and this has turned into a circus. The OP has edited the OP numerous times over and has changed details of this little soiree as the flow of the topic changed. The more negative towards them it...

    Almost died today--Any captains out there???

    A diver signs a waiver prior to boarding ANY vessel and that is SOP in our industry. It just seems that either it is a troll, or the diver was not ready and capable to be diving, and looking for someone to blame but themselves

    Almost died today--Any captains out there???

    How can you place benefit of the doubt when the OP openly requests info to go after the Captain of the boat THEY chose to go on in the first place?

    GI Bill SCUBA

    Contact FKCC as was mentioned several times before. The director of the Diving program is a vet himself, as are several of the instructors on staff. Since we have a large military contingency on the island, they are very in tune with what you can or cant use your GI Bill for. And they will also...

    Almost died today--Any captains out there???

    Where was your surface signal device? What about a visual distress aid like a bright rescue sausage? It sounds as if you were diving alone based on your initial posting being so vague. How deep was the water and what is your cert level? It appears that you are opening up more questions for...

    padi open water certification question

    Go over to Pro Dive and see Genevieve. Tell her military Phil sent you and they will take care of you. They can probably see about transferring your online portion to a classroom portion or work with you so you dont get raped. They are really fair and will treat you very well over there

    Wanna dive the Vandenberg??

    Eric is great. I have known him 12 years, and they will take good care of you over there. Make sure you get there in PLENTY of time to get your gear down to the dock. You will have to haul it from the parking lot through the hotel area, pool area, and then down the dock to the boat. So word of...

    Looking for Ft Lauderdale Accommodations 6/14-7/6

    He is a 135 lb Dogo Argentino that is a huge teddy bear. I take him everywhere with me on Key West, and he is super docile and very well behaved. He is not small by any means. Last week a 2 year old asked if he could "take my doggie for a ride" Roommates are fine since I will be going through...

    I called a few of the places, and I cant have a dog with me at any. I keep checking craigslist as well, and it is just hard to find somewhere that will only be for about 3 weeks...UGH

    Divers Should Be Able To Dive Vandenberg SATURDAY!

    Just some friendly words of advice for the new divers that want to dive the Vandenberg... DONT DO IT! Reasons are as follows. 1. Heavy currents. We had a small wake behind the boat each day we dove, and our mooring ball was underwater each dive because the current was so strong. 2...

    Travel advice needed, please

    As everyone else is saying, you need to narrow down an area you want to dive or to see before we can really help you. What part of the state are you looking for? If you want to go to the Keys, your seasick (ahem) half will HAVE to get on a boat since our reefs down here are 6-7 miles off shore...
