    What Are The Chances?

    Prpper maintanence is key,spending a couple hundred dollars every month or so in the busy season for oil and various filters is cheap in comparison to what it could cost not to do the maintanence compressors are not cheap nor are lawsuits. I have in the middle of summer stopped pumping air for a...

The public are not stupid like some business people think, they know we have to turn a profit to keep the doors open but nobody wants to wants to pay good money for a product...

    New dive shop and rock climbing gym

    I don't see a problem with that, I know Mike very well and had no idea the store was moving or that they were adding a hydro station and rock climbing wall. We don't all make our business plans public knowledge untill it happens!

    BCD, which the best choice?

    We are a Seac Sub dealer and although I have not used either of these BCD'S I saw the Seac line at Dema and was very impressed with it, unfortunatley costs make it prohibitive from carrying their bc's and regs but we do sell loads of their masks and fins and the quality especially their masks...

    best lake for wrecks?

    My only comment would be that the vis on the St. Lawerence can be very good at times, I was on the Keystorm in August and the vis was 60ft. it was assume temp. 75 not bad for cold Canada.

    Too easy to become a DM??

    I have seen Divemasters and the only deep dive they have ever logged is the one done on their advanced course and now they are supposed to be able to lead certified divers on tours,scarey thought.

    Too easy to become a DM??

    I think GTA has raised a very good question. In my opinion I think the tools are all in place to train good divemasters, I believe the instructor doing the training is ultimately responsible for training. Another problem I have personally seen and this not only applies to divemasters but...

    where to dive

    So much *****ing on this board lately about shops and charter operators maybe instead of *****ing about them simply stop using them, the good shops and charter boats will be around for a long time the rest will fall by the wayside. They always do!

    what can I expect to see in Roatan and Utila?

    In the season I was in Utila I saw whale sharks on many occasions, you have to dive with the right shop, lots say they find whale sharks but only by trying to follow the boats that do find them. As for other types of sharks there is often black tips around the whale sharks looking for an easy...

    I miss Utila

    I know only to well what you mean, I lived and worked at Utila Lodge for the 2000-01 season and miss it all the time, especially when you are freezing your can up here. It didn't help spending some time with some of the people from there when we were at DEMA.

    Out of Business

    Just a note about the air, the Dept. of Labor is out in full force with inspections on air stations and looking for air purity tests, they paid me a visit today and brought occupational hygienist's with them. Their official word is no CSAZ180.1 compliance no government or fire dept or hazmat fills.
