Well done with your Nitrox, Nicko. Good luck with PPB.

Thanks for the info Betty. We're going in April for our fourth trip. Love that place. Friends of ours just got their OW certs today (congrats Pennie and Ryan) are going with us. Like you say I'm wondering if the cost is worth the nitrox. I do want the training so I may get it done just to try...

I'm sure he is a fine instructor.

Never mind. I'll take my ball and go home.

More than anyone else an instructor needs rescue skills. Please don't be so patronizing.

I interpreted the question as "Does the average diver need to take the Rescue course?". I also would define average as, well, average. Like me. I didn't claim I knew everything about diving. One of the reasons I frequent ScubaBoard is to learn. I paid attention when I took my OW class and put...

I vote no. The average diver doesn't need rescue skills.

Congratulations!!!

Use whatever you want.

I'll be at Couples Negril next month. This will be our third time. I like diving there. Very relaxing.

The wife and I both use the Islander II. We both really like it. Well made, simple and light weight. It has enough attachment points for my kind of diving. I think the pockets are a plus. The back inflate took about a minute to get used to. Not sure what the difference between the I and II are...

No and no.

Buy the camera. Have fun.

True, my computer doesn't know what protection I am wearing but the OW manual makes the blanket statement to add 10 ft. I was just wondering if computers used the "add 10ft" rule.

After some reading, page 220 of my PADI OW Dive Manual states "When using the RDP for planning a dive in cold water...plan the dive for 10 feet deeper than it actually is."

I was reading the skin bends thread in the A&I section and the comment about water temp got my attention. During my training I was told to add 10ft. to a dive when diving cold water. Do computers account for water temperature or is it something I should keep in mind when doing cold water and...

My wife and I were doing a refresher course last night when her computer froze. It was working in the pre-dive check and it appears to have froze upon entering the water. It's brand new and only been in the pool once before. The LDS has it and is contacting Oceanic to see what can be done but I...

I must go to a different Jamaica. Diving isn't great but I find the people to be extremely friendly.

Sorry. Going to Negril for a week in February. We love that place.

Nice pictures. Thanks. I'll be in Negril six months!
