Ouch, I hate that Couples Swept Away lost their boat. Hope they get it replaced before we go back next year.

If you're looking to avoid the cattle boats, there use to be some 6 packs running out of Cancun. I dove with one named Blue Peace back in '01 and they did an excellent job. They were located right on the main hotel strip. I heard they had closed up shop, but there may be others. A quick Google...

Why should LP's customers have to call/email and haggle over the price? A lot of online stores, especially in the electronics industry, advertise at one price, but then that price is lower once you actually add the item to your cart. Perhaps the MAPs with scuba gear companies don't allow that...

My pick? To be independently wealthy, own a big yacht, and live in all of the places mentioned above, plus many more, when I took a notion.

Ok, since we are airing it out anyway, someone might as well spill the beans. For the record, why was Don banned, if you don't mind me asking?

Ah, I see. Not sure how you'd verify him after all this time, but maybe you could. Perhaps he is still here, just under another name. Wherever he is, I just hope he is doing well. At any rate, I hate to see you two at each other over something that happened so long ago, as it doesn't really...

I saw that you answered most of my questions in an earlier post above (if only I had just been paying attention) so I edited my questions. Sorry about that. Anyway, if I were to get one, it would either be the 13 or the 19. Any bigger and I probably wouldn't use it. The 19 is almost 5 inches...

How are you carrying it, Don? Slung? I've been tempted many many times to get one, but always seem to come up with a reason not too. E. g. I won't use it that much... It would be a pain to travel with... etc.... Unfortunately, Insta-Buddies are what I usually end up with these days and they can...

Is Don still banned? His member name nets 0 results in a member list search, yet his profile is still visible. View Profile: Iguana Don - ScubaBoard Guess I was already gone when this happened, as I don't recall Don getting banned. But my memory of almost decade ago is pretty fuzzy. Be that as...

Howdy Walter, it's good to see you haven't hung up your fins yet! My story is about the same as your's, life happened and got in the way of most everything else. Seems like I'm here reading everyday for the last few months though. I'm still amazed at how much this place has grown.

You wouldn't happen to have an online source for genuine Apeks hoses would you?

:popcorn: It's all water under the bridge, as far as I'm concerned. I don't even remember half of it anymore and have to get Joe to remind me. :D

It should NOT be a big deal and you should practice it until it is 2nd nature. Same goes for all skills, like mask clearing/removal/replacement, regulator clearing, and etc.

The Transpac is an excellent BC. I intend to own one if I can ever wear out this friggin Zeagle Ranger.

Well it's included so you can't expect too much, ya know. :) It's been quiet a few years since I've been to a Sandals, but I'm sure they have their reasons for doing it that way. I was referring more to South 4 Scuba's post than yours, where he stated 60fsw and 1000psi. Perhaps he didn't mean it...

While we're on the subject, I'm curious as to what SAC you guys use for your rock bottom calculations. Aquaregia, quoted some numbers, so looking at his numbers it appears he is using about 1.0 cfpm. That's what I've always used, even though my relaxed rate would be much less than that. I...

I’m confused as to why you guys think having a rock bottom pressure of 1000psi on a 60fsw dive with an AL80 is too conservative. A responsible diver diving with a buddy should reserve enough gas to get himself and his buddy to the surface at all times, including completing a 3 minute...

Ah, well there you go then. The owner obviously tossed it in favor of one that uses batteries!:banana:

On his own or with his buddy? I've been on group dives where the DM sent a diver up by himself, signalling their buddy to stay with the group. I've also been on dives where there were 2 DMs and one of them would take a diver up, leaving his buddy down with the group and the other DM. Stuff like...

LMAO! Ain't that the truth. I've been on a number of dives where something like this happened and ended up with a diver or multiple divers OOA on safety stops and such. But ultimately you are responsible for yourself. When it's time to end the dive, end it. In most situations you can follow...
