    HOG BP/W Question

    Id get a stainless BP regardless, the extra weight will save you carry around weights and is far more comfortable. unless you travel with a whole family and always have to squeeze in with already loaded bags, its most likely not a big deal to pack a stainless BP in your luggage, Ive been...

    Fiji Siren - Lost at Sea

    Really? You don't know anything about the boats or the company and just use words like shi..t and disgusted? Thats how scuba board staff cultivates a great discussion behavior! So explain to me how a Taiphoon, sub surface floating sea freight container (which there are 10thousands worldwide) to...

    Two missing on submerged Great Wall - China

    Thats a different thing, its about primary and secondary enforcement and has more to do with how you can be stopped by a police officer. In most states police cant stop you just for no reason without certain misdemeanor or a warrant. ie. they cant do alcohol checkpoints, but during some events...

    Two missing on submerged Great Wall - China

    I do not have the exact statement either but it reflects the facts and sounds what they possibly had given: Sun Hao and Haiyan were GUE trained They were no GUE instructors or of any sort of GUE officials Haiyan was IANTD rEvo trained Sun Hao was not GUE JJ certified (cant recall who he did his...

    GUE distanced itself from the great wall project in a press statement. They expressed their condolences and offered to help in the clarification of the circumstances that caused the incident if needed. They confirmed that the two divers were trained by Gue on various levels but not Gue...

    Let's recoup where the theory coming from someone saw dead fish at the bottom of the lake during the search efforts (dead fish in a lake in China). The smb was found with some fishermen now details how it got there (he could have just picked it up at shore after it was free floating). There was...

    Two missing on submerged Great Wall - China

    There is no legal entity called GUE China hence the comment by the officials about illegal activities by a foreign organization. There is a local Chinese gue instructor teaching through his shop and conducting activities like the Great Wall mapping project which contributes to Project Baseline...

    well 50m very low viz, cold, on a ccr, in a lake covered in fishing nets isn't really just a 50m dive... and everyone can judge themselves, if jumping from course to course is really what gives you the experience... Think about what amount of course time they must have spent in a relative short...

    I still find that electrofishing theory really hard to believe. The guy must have been technically on top of both their heads same time and zapped them. DC is very inefficient basically used by people wearing a car battery as a backpack two poles in their hand walking around the beach zapping...

    Does not matter as its not about absolute costs but cost deviations in % if i have to pay higher prices for certain commodities there is a cost of living difference no matter how often you buy them. And even then a deviation +-10% I would be tempted to say you can have similar cost of living as...

    I'd seriously challenge that... UK vs US price index shows UK being 13% higher cost of living. While I have been moving around the globe I very well know cost of living also very much depends on personal perspective and priorities but I am very very confident to say the claim that cost of living...

    But then a tip would actually be a tip and not a hidden part of the cost used to blackmail customers. And the workers maybe would actually get a tip and not just a ****** substitute to their ****** maybe not even existing salary...

    And this is exactly where the system ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY work in the favor of the business owner! Not in favor of the employee because he has an unreliable source of income, not the customer because he gets LIED at in terms of a upfront, fair, honest pricing. That being said I'am the last...

    I did not know that they have to make up shortfall, thats good to know thanks for that info. However for me it is just another expression of how the government is supporting these dishonest practices.

    Lorenzoid hit the nail on the head... there is no such thing as working for tips only... However in general tips is a great way for business owners to give away the responsibility for fair income to increase their profit and put the burden and in if needed blame it on the customer. Just like...

    Two missing on submerged Great Wall - China

    Ok, I knew Denovo or Haijan or Tofu as she was mostly known in the diving community very well. I also knew Sun Hao, as I had been living 6 years in Shanghai before I moved to Houston, TX. Both were neither officials of GUE nor instructors. Both were GUE certified. Xu was the first women in...
