    Swimming Skills Assessment

    In my opinion, to scuba dive successfully you have to feel comfortable in the environment. In order to ascend to the surface without a line you have to be able to perform an efficient and effective kick. I have had students try, unsucessfully, to surface doing the 'bicycle' kick. I had to...

    Dive tables take a back seat in SSI training

    It is up to the instructor. At SSI we do address computer capabilities and how they compare to using dive tables (bottom time, planning, etc). We also stress that if the diver purchase a computer, we go over the operation as part of the sale.

    dive computer with integrated compass

    I have a nitek trio. The digital compass is slow in reacting catch up to changes in direction. The result is that you tend to overcompensate one way and overcomplensate for the overcompensation - if that makes any sense. Standard analog seems to me to be the best way to go...

    Tipping on Cozumel

    I just returned from cozumel. My group dove with dive palancar for 11 dives over 5 days. We had the same crew - boat driver, assistant and 2 dive leaders - every day. I tipped $100USD for the entire week at the end of the week. I agree that tipping is subjective and I had a great time and...
