My wife dives with the Supra Arctic combo (full + hooded vest). The canadian seals minimize water entry and the tight fit along with the very sturdy neoprene makes for a very warm combo. The tight fit has its disadvantages though: restricted range of movement. Still: the Supra Arctic...

Makes me wonder what you're used to beerwise. I've always wondered why people would want to refer to a noble brew like beer using a reference to a mixture of water and soap. Of course, if haven't ever tasted anything other than beer that tastes like soap, how would you know the difference?

As others have said, computers extend your no-decompression limits by eliminating unnecessary or exaggerated rounding. Your instructor should have explained this to you in your basic course. You might want to revisit your manual. Remember that even with tables, you run the risk of getting...

Bruce, Are you sure those braggarts didn't add a zero at the end of the number?

I've been racking my brain for an acronym for that instructor's association. (Seriously, I'm all for it personally) All I could come up with was : SCUBA A(ssociation) of L(earned) E(ducators).

Only if you don't breathe enough of it. So no skip breathing! It'll only give you a headache, or even worse: a blackout.

Are we on beer again? I'll continue to state this until you all come to your senses: only Belgians know how to brew beer. Most microbreweries in the US were started up using... Belgian manuals on how to brew beer. As to the German law on beer (das Reinheitsgebot), that's actually true...

You can get instruction in wheel use outside of DM. Either do a PADI Multilevel Adventure Dive or go the whole hog and do the multilevel specialty. Just for information, a while ago on another board I was challenged about the validity of the emergency deco procedures mentioned on the RDP. This...

C'mon people! Now that I've seen it (the warhammer maneuver, that is), I can only compliment the man on his buoyancy control :D

Unless they've gone and changed the c-cards on me, you DM card doesn't even mention the name of the instructor that signed off on your application, let alone at which shop, dive center or resort. So I wouldn't worry too much about that. Things to look for in the course: Your skills should...

Diving makes you go deaf! so SPEAK UP!!!

Yeah, well, I'm still waiting for someone to PM me a link to the infamous warhammer maneuver.

Mmm...yah, well... Tables are tables, though SSI uses modified US Navy tables, whereas PADI uses its own RDP, but the physics and the math are the same. Basically, the difference is that with two instructor-led dives, your instructor should have you check the mix and have you calculate the...

Money? You guys found money? And you didn't think of inviting me over? Sheesh! :06:

What, if anything, have you found and salvaged on your dives? I'm not talking about scavenging wrecks, I'm just curious to know what items, if any, all of you have stumbled upon while diving. Here's my list to date : 4 kg of lead weights 2 masks 1 snorkel 1 safety sausage 1 bottle of...

Right, you and Mike_s have both officially failed your physics exam. Water in water weighs nothing. Keep trying though, eventually you'll get it right. There are only four possible answers to each question on a multiple choice exam. Drag, however... But I didn't say the feathers were in drag...

The sting might wake him from his drug-induced apathy so he could help you chase away the giant octopus, preferably in the direction of the hungry sea monsters. While the two of you are on that adrenalin high, look around for shoes, would you?

Wimp! The invite still stands though. We'll take the beer along to get it nice and frosty.

Hmm... I suppose you think a kilo of lead weighs more than a kilo of feathers too?

Either it's the meds or this is one of the best typos ever :eyebrow: PS Uncle Pug, gimme back my shoes please.
