I'd rent from the LDS. I've seen some real crap in rental gear throughout the Caribbean. Do you have a relationship with the LDS? If so, tell them what you'd pay to rent it in cozumel and ask if they would match that price. If the gear is just going to sit and gatther dust I'd assume they'd...

Oceanic Pro Plus?

Congratulations

As a DM you should be exhibiting role model behavior. If you are in a leadership position, will you be requiring students and other divers you are leading to log their dives? (I'm not familiar with the IANTD Standards) If you will be requiring them to log the dives will you log yours at the...

When you say across your chest, do you mean, hose stretches from the left to the right? If so wouldn't this make a rescuer stripping your gear take longer?

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

Sorry if my comment about the Great Lakes confused anyone. I don't fish. Since someone asked I figured it might be a local thing. Guess not.

Braided stainless steel fishing line used on charter fishing boats on the Great Lakes. Dive shears were used to cut the line. The rescuer muscled his way up the mooring line. I might have a picture of some of the line. ---------- Post added August 8th, 2014 at 02:07 PM ---------- Here's a...

Divers were on the north shore tug, near Saugatuck. She lies in about 150 feet of water. This is the story from the diver doing the rescuing. I've been diving with him for a couple years. They moored to the wreck with no intention of exceeding rec Limits. (Don't ask me). They descended to...

Real problem was entanglement during ascent. Divers became tangled in discarded steel line. Diver experiencing free flow stopped breathing and was saved by CPR at the surface. 7 broken ribs.

OP: Think about this from the instructor's perspective for a moment. He doesn't know your dive skills from Adam's. You plunk down the big money for the AOW and he discover's that you don't have any buoyancy control, can't clear a mask, and can't use a compass. Now we have a dillemma of he...

My wife and two daughters had been going on cruises every year as a vacation for about 6 years. Then my wife invited my inlaws to join us one year. Then they invited my 2 nieces to join us, then they invited my sister-in-law. At that point i decided I needed some dedicated "AWAY" time and...

Thanks for the feedback. I've got admin access. I'll PM Bjorn and see if he has any insights. Thanks,

Anyone have any luck installing and registering this on a Mac? I'm getting an error when I try to use the license file. It's trying to create a directory and doesn't have permission for that location. Bught the program last year and had this problem, thought they might have fixed it, but no...

No Zombie Diver Choice? :-)

IMO something that should be addressed or stressed besides air planning is the accidental deco planning in the event of a computer failure. I don't tech dive, but run VPlanner for deep dives for 5 minutes over NDL, 10 minutes over NDL, and 10' too deep. I write out the matrix on my slate in...

So will someone be compiling all this into the Jackwagon Brother in Law Specialty Diver?

Then if you come across some shrimp, grab 'em and stuff them down your neck seal. You might have to enjoy Shrimp Scampi for your surface interval.

I would have been more likely to respond: Send up liftbag on reel line and use the line for an ascent. Would that be an unsafe plan?

Is diving a sport or is it a hobby? If it's a hobby then I propose sky diving, private pilot, and amateur circuit car racing as three that require the logging of fitness, activity and training. Not that I believe it should be a governmental requirement to log dives. I'm just providing the...
