    Dive Con vs. Dive Master

    So if you can't be a SSI instructor without a store affiliation is it possible to switch agencies at the DiveCon/Divemaster rating without having to retake all the preceeding classes? There is only one nearby SSI shop in my area, what if it went crappy and I didn't want to be affiliated with...

    newbie moving in on a bp/wing setup

    I just switched to a DR bp and wing after diving with a seaquest balance for my first 3-4 years of diving. I love it, much more comfortable and much easier to trim. AND with a deluxe webbing harness I don't get those little pinch hickies on my shoulders which I always got with my balances'...

    Authoritative Incompetency

    ROFL They weren't poorly trained divers they were stoned on cocaine inhalers! I'm SSI certified through Dive Con and we covered tables very well as they were part of the training curriculum. I must say I appreciate my LDS more all the time after reading some of these threads. woof

    Whats the easiest way?

    I have a two piece 7mm semi-dry that is very snug and I was actually tearing the suit at the shoulders putting it on and taking it off all the time. Another diver gave me a can of silicone spray to try, the kind you would buy at your LDS, and it really made a difference. I have also seen people...

    Do you like to find things underwater?

    I've begun to suspect that golf balls may be some kind of indigneous life form in inland waters.......and if not, who has that kinda of swing? I love finding stuff, it's great practice for buoyancy control picking up golf balls. Besides, my landlubber buddies appreciate them. woof

    Manifold Spacing?

    Is there a standard spacing with manifolds? I have a pair of HP100 that I want to make into doubles (7/8 thread). Would a 300 bar sherwood manifold work with dive rite bands which have an 8.5" spacing? thanks woof

    Fill Station hoses?

    I am getting geared up in preperation of building my own fill station and I was wondering what you have found to be the most versatile and inexpensive tubing (or hose) and fittings to use. I've got a few months before I get the space to do it so I figured now is the time to start shopping for...

    How Much Money Did You Spend In Your First Year of Diving?

    but I'm sure the total went over 2500.00 and thats probably conservative. In the process of a drysuit purchase right now...terrifying. woof :out:

    Have you been asked for your AOW Card or Log Book?

    Not even for a tank fill (nitrox) or anything. Guess i didnt need that c-card after all. woof

    Does your Local Dive shop have Nitrox?

    They have pre-blend and will do PP fills. They recently installed helium tanks but I haven't got the whole scoop yet, I am assuming they are going to make tri-mix available. A eanx32 100 cu3 tank fill is either 10.00 or 12.00 dollars. woof

    LDS Problem...

    But then again there was a time when i wouldn't have made the hose swap because I didn't understand how the reg worked. So I am not advocating that you try a repair on a piece of life support equipment that you don't understand....just that it is a fairly simple thing to swap a hose to a...

    LDS Problem...

    You said "I paid them for a service and not only did they not perform the service properly, they endangered my life as well. " It sounds as if they serviced the reg just fine, they just got the hose switched around. Careless? Most definitely. That big a deal? Not really, make a note to put...

    LONG post about a dispute with my LDS

    Well, I've read the whole thread over the last couple of days so I guess it deserves my 2c. As a service oriented business owner I would have just refunded the money and said adios, it goes with the territory, and one really dissatisfied customer can do alot of bad word-of-mouth damage. I'm not...
